Having recently finished Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, and having done a deep dive on the World of Darkness lore I was wondering if anyone would be interested in running a Vampire the Masquerade RP?

I was thinking of trying a European setting to try and get away from the typical American setting. That being said, I haven't prepped too much yet as I want to see if anyone's interested before writing reams and reams, so if you've any ideas you think would make the RP interesting I'd love to hear them.

Sure, I'd be in.

@Karos
Would you perhaps consider Storytelling an actual, system-based chronicle if a certain group of somewhat experienced and quite enthusiastic players were to guarantee you assistance and explanation of all matters that you might be new to?

@Instigator
Whilst I'm more than happy running something a bit more free-form like this I don't think I'm really experienced enough with the VTM rules to run a full on chronicle as of yet.

For now I was hoping to acquaint myself a bit more with the lore through something like this, before trying my hand at storytelling a bit later once I've had a chance to really get my head around the mechanics.

The Masquerade in Europe. I like the sound of it. Perhaps in France? Paris has a wiser and older prince than that fool La Croix, but there's still plenty of intrigues playing out and fights to be involved in.

For the record, if we're going with more of an Old World, European setting (where most elder vampires are more likely to have remained) would a character concept such as an archon (specifically an Alastor) be approved?

@Karos Are you down for a True Brujah, or would Temporis make him too OP?

@Malygris I'm thinking either Paris or London, I'm leaning towards London solely because I know the city better, but there's no reason we couldn't have channel hopping Kindred running about.

@Plank Sinatra Most certainly, provided that you keep it interesting. You might have de jure immunity from hostile action by Camarilla officials but that doesn't mean they won't at least consider such things if your character prompts it.

@pugbutter I'd be cool with you running a True Brujah, provided you're reasonable with the Temporis. Standard RPing rules, you can have cool powers just don't over do it or we might have to work out some restrictions in order to keep things balanced.

Oh and a CS for you all:



I'll leave this open a couple more days see if anyone else is interested in joining. Should give you time to get character sheets together so I can better hash out a setting too.

For what it's worth, Paris is pretty big in Camarilla politics, so I'd be interested in a game set there too.

@Karos I mostly wanna be a True Brujah for the personality, really...the Clan interests me more on the philosopher-king side than the young punk brawler side. But since I'll be applying as an Elder, knowing the restrictions in advance will be helpful. Thanks.

@Plank Sinatra Hmm if people are liking Paris more I'll swat up a bit see what I can find.

@pugbutter Well at first I'll leave it to your discretion. I find that most RPers have an instinctive knack for knowing what would be too much. But if there are issues, the restrictions would simply be to make the power more closely reflect the limiting mechanics in the books. Being very well fed, having the time to focus, being of a very high generation, etc.

I knew there was a reason I liked you

If you check the Vampire: The Dark Ages (not the one where that ritle is in reverse) core, you'll see that a regular Brujah elder could fit the philosopher-king idea as well. They just might have more of a struggle living up to the ideal because of the clan flaw. They would also likely be downright dissapointed in the chronic anarchism of the rest of their clan. Ripe Roleplaying opportunities, those.

It has been a long time since I was in the world of darkness

Might have an idea for this.

Et voila, feel free to post your characters in the OOC when they're ready, once they're approved you can go ahead and put them into the character tab.
