World of Darkness:: White Wolf Games

[FateWeaver]

For the past couple of years, I've had all these rulebooks for the World of Darkness games sitting around. Countless attempts at starting a chronicle with real-life friends have failed. So now, I poke this community in hopes that I'm not the only one out there familiar with these stories.

If you're not familiar with White Wolf's works, then you probably won't be suited well to this RP. I won't be using the rules systems, but each character should be based off of the appropriate book's rules and I would like the world and story to have the same general feel. I am more knowledgeable about the 'Classic' games, particularly Vampire, Werewolf, and Mage.

I haven't posted this check in casual yet because I want to see if anyone at all is interested in this type of game first. I will want (at least) one co-GM who knows at least as much as me about the WoD universe. Other than that I'm looking for at least four players before I start doing any more real work for this.

Well I am interested, but I have wanted to play a character from the Geist the Sineaters book more than anything else. Would that be alright with you as it is more NWOD? If not that's okay I can check out the others!

[FateWeaver]

@Levythelevy I don't have that particular volume, so I would have to do a little digging. We'll see, but thanks for declaring your interest!

Edit: After taking a quick poke around, I see no reason that a Geist should not be accepted.

Now also seems a good time to note that I will only want one or two of each type of character.

Are we going Old or New World, here? And what sort of game or power level is being applied? I've been wanting to play as a sort of barely-mentioned side character for a while now, but there are few opportunities to play as a Vampire Werecrocodile in this day and age.

[Levythelevy]

@FateWeaver Awesome thanks for letting me know so quick!

[FateWeaver]

@Dead Cruiser For the most part, these characters should look ready to jump in at the beginning of any chronicle. Some will be more powerful, and I would prefer these to belong to the more knowledgeable and literate players. Of course, some may also be less powerful, as everyone being equal is simply boring.

And Old, though there will be elements of New. I know the Old material far better, but I don't want to exclude people just because of that.

[Dead Cruiser]

Hmm, understandable. Just don't know if a 4th Generation Settite/Elder Mokole fits within what you have set up for the game. Or could really be written into the story in any way at all.

[Hjalti]

I'm interested. What sort of game are we talking about? Vampire? Werewolf? Mage? Scion?

Also, if you're looking at setting up an actual tabletop game, the Roll20 site is pretty good at helping you do it across large distances over Skype or voice chat.

[FateWeaver]

@Hjalti I am trying to bring all those games and more together in one dark world, having members of the various societies interact, fight, make friends, find allies, and destroy each other. The setting (which I am still working on) is going to be plenty dark and gritty, with space for all these supernatural beasties. Everything would of course happen in and around (and under) one city, big enough to support at least a small population of every kind of monster and magicker. Think of the Chicago described in the Dresden Files if you've read them. College campus, a hospital or two, large police police force, nearby woodland, and massive underground mostly forgotten by humans.

[Hjalti]

@FateWeaver Sounds cool. Will there be a limit if we choose a Scion build or will you be allowing eventual, full-fledged godhood?

[FateWeaver]

@Hjalti The end-tiers, such as godhood, ascension, or galconda, will be achievable by all appropriate characters. The same is true of completely losing your humanity or being torn out of the world by entropy, and the other terrible fates.

[FateWeaver]

@Hjalti I didn't recognize Scion at first, and upon looking it up I have discovered that it is not part of the WoD setting. I don't really know anything about it, but that does not mean I'm not willing to work with you to try and fit something in.

[Hjalti]

@FateWeaver I have no idea where the brain fart I just had came from, but for some reason my mind went "White Wolf? Must be WoD then!"

It may be a bit too much to try to work Scion in, in that case. I'll probably look into a VtM build then. I'm not too familiar with Werewolf, although it would be cool to be that stupidly powerful.

[FateWeaver]

I'm going to be doing a lot of reading over the next few nights to refamiliarize myself with a lot of things, but I will put up an official interest check later tonight. I'll see where things go from there.

[Dead Cruiser]

Any possibility for the presence of Sobek, the Crocodile God?
