Title: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: Radical21 on October 20, 2010, 11:34:09 PM: Gameplay style: Generally Sandbox with Story Driven Events. Will give details once its clear that there are enough people interested.

Intro:

Warm yellow light dims in your eyes and intensify as you come to, you are lying, no standing inside an open wooden casket providing a limited field of vision into the hall in front of you. growing awareness of a strange sort of numbing pain in your chest but you canâ€™t see it because your whole body is stiff unmoving.. some taste of blood.

As your eyes struggle to scan the room you realize it is a boardroom and the light emanates from wall lamps of modern design at the corner of the room next to framed oil painting that decorate the windowless walls. inn front of the walls at the center of the large boardroom is a massive conference table made of dark obsidian black stone, it seems to contrast with the light in the room around it, swallowing it in an almost threatening manner, Seated at the far end of the table are two figures a young man and a woman, both dressed in suits who are talking amongst themselves as they look in your general direction.

â€œ...They are Sabbatâ€ the man exclaims â€œwhy are they even allowed to-â€
The Woman looks away and the man stops and looks as well..

A third man fades into view from the corner of the casket moving towards the table He radiates a kind of commanding confidence as he stands between you and the conference table.

â€œThey are my guests Charlesâ€ The Third man says audibly as if addressing you as well with his words.â€œAs you should know, The Antitribu blood alone doesnâ€™t make one a Sabbat, these Kindred are part of the Camarilla until proven otherwise.â€

â€˜Charlesâ€™ doesn't seem very content for some reason and he and the Third man who seems to be the leader exchange a look in a moment of unpleasant silence before Charles looks elsewhere..

â€œWhy the stakes then?â€ The black haired Woman asked innocently.

The Man paused â€œThatâ€ He turns to face you â€œA necessary precaution, Awakening from Torpor can be a dangerous unpleasant matter when the thirst calls and to prevent a greater unpleasantness I thought its best to have you restrained to awaken youâ€ his genuine expression is sympathizing â€œI have learned of the misfortune that happened and on behalf of kindred kind I must offer my deepest apologies for the crime that was committed against you by others... I want you all to know that I do not take this matter lightly and have taken upon myself to personally awaken you, A Boon I hope you will appreciate in time.â€ The Manâ€™s light brown eyes seem to survey you and whoever is besides you as his hands casually dig into the pockets of his expensive suit, his features makes it hard to discern his age

â€œI know You must have many questions about what has happened to you, for now I ask that you to Stay Here in my home under my protection at least until I have explained things in a proper mannerâ€

He gives a nod to someone that must be standing behind the casket..
A hand reaches into the Casket from the side and you feel the Wooden stake withdrawing from your flesh as the rigidness fades away and your body can once again move.

Character Creation:
Characters are created per VTM Revised rules

Background:

Starting characters are newly embraced. The Characters all have been embraced against their will(No Shovels involved)by a Kindred wearing a ski mask each at different areas of the city. After passing out they found themselves awakening to a fit of semi consious red rage until everything turned to black again and the event described in the intro takes place

Aside from that mortal backgrounds can be anything realistically possible.

Its Ok to keep things simple and give a short bio of a few sentences as long as it describes who the character is how did the character became, what are his/her general goals and any secrets ,contacts or exceptional skills and attributes the character may have and why.

Stats
You are Allowed only one attribute at 4 dots , the rest must be three dots or below.

To further prevent twinkin
You are Allowed only one skill at 3 dots the rest must be 2 dots or below.
Clan selection
Clan:
All Clans that appear in VTM Revised Corebook are allowed .

Disciplines:
All Disciplines that appear in VTM Revised Corebook are allowed .

Your Disciplines at startup can't be higher than 1 dot.
I will allow the benefit of the doubt that a single discipline can be at 2 dots at startup if the character has a particular aptitude for it mentioned in the character background.

The Rational behind this is that your characters are newly embraced and its unreasonable to think that they had the time to learn to master a discipline to levels 3-5, most of their understanding of their powers is insitinctual at this point, please keep that in mind.

Gameplay notes:
Anything goes no restrictions but keep in mind that the game will still follow the rules in a realistic way.

IC knowledge about kindred at start is Fledgeling basic knowledge which means your character's understanding of what is Kindred is mostly instinctual and next to none at this basic point unless maybe they have occult rating.
This is ment to give new players a shot at the chronicle without being overwhelmed and to portray newly embraced characters more realistically.

Players roster so far:
Skyra
Aydoo
Cad
Isador
Kabatta

Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: Radical21 on October 23, 2010, 03:50:05 PM: Sure,

Since there are not that many people interested (2-3 votes?) I might as well start it as a regular chornicle with open-ended sandbox element to it with the possibility of expanding it into something bigger should more people join.

But first for others who votes or voted , I would like to know who the interested people are so please also leave some post to indicate you are interested because id hate to spend all that time writing for nothing if it turns out there are not enough people interested to start.

Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: Radical21 on October 24, 2010, 09:29:41 PM: I might as well post the short intro I started to write:

Put it on the OP
Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: Aydoo on October 25, 2010, 07:57:26 AM: Bah, was hoping to make a Human (DISAPOINTMENT). Oh well :> Are Caitiff allowed since technically we don't know any of our lineages? (I never did understand how that worked. Does the Curse of Caine have some timed expiration date that makes them clanless if they aren't taught within the few days? Its kind of lulzy.) Do we have a base generation limit ( only x ammount of background points able to be spent on generation if any at all?) The intro mentions Antitribu so are the Players Guide to the Sabbat (Revised) bloodlines allowed (City Gangrel or Toreador Antitribu for example which differ from the main branches of the clan)

Needlessly complicated! :D

Also since I want this to succeed, I've been awesome and uploaded the Core: Revised book. It can be found here:

(By downloading this you accept all responsibility blah blah, don't blame me.)

Get this while you can, no telling if Megaupload will take it down.

Admin edit: Per the rules of White Wolf's "Dark Pack", which PV is a part of, links to a free version of the core book can not be posted in the forum.

Sorry its hard for me to predict if Players prefer to start as human . Ideally there would be many Players and I would not have to restrict character creation in this way but as it is now to kickstart things everyone starts as Kindred, later additions to the cast may have to start as humans.

Caitiff are allowed and they are Vampires of unknown Lineage, Meaning their parent lineage isn't one of the established clans. Otherwise you can just a play a Gangrel who doesn't know s/he is a Gangrel.

About the Antitribu comment all I will say at this point is that it is an assumption made IC by a group of Camarilla Kindred doesn't mean its true or false.

You Can Create a Tremere even though Tremere is Camarilla specific.

To clarify I intended to restrict Clan choice at start mostly because I want less cardboard that seems to come with exotic bloodlines choices.

A Toreador that crossed over to the Sabbat doesn't change their Clan weakness even though they are considered Antitribu.

If you must though Toreador Antitribu, Gangrel Antitribu, Assamite Antitribu are allowed but you might recieve crap for it from Camarilla douchebags ;)
Lasombra Antitribu(found in the Camarilla) are also allowed.

Rest of the Bloodlines that do not appear in the Corebook are not allowed.

Generation:
Since being 8th generation(5 dots) practically puts a big 'diablerize me' sign over your head to anyone who knows about it, it might not be such a great idea.

The NPCs I make for this chronicle would be "Real" characters in the sense that They do Not have:
-Godmode
-Redicules stats
-Omniscient insight into your character sheet
-Protection of a mysteriou Plot-Powered "Coincidance" that saves them whenever they are in danger.

On the flipside the vlunrability mean that may try to work against you if they have enough IC motive and opportunity.
Most NPCs probably won't know you have a lower generation or won't care but the few jealous ambitious type who might find out about it might see it as a threat and try to have you eliminated or worse take the power for their own.

PCs may also conspire to kill you if you use your lower generation too much.

So anyway I do not restrict Generation but these are some factors to consider.

A question, would you guys prefer to fast forward on the whole "Learning to be a Bloodsucking Vampire Post Embrace" part or prefer to start from that point?

Also I have not explicitly state a specific city where it all takes place, A fictional city might be good or I can use a slightly modfied version of one of the 'By Night Books':
-An exsisting city might feel more tangiable to people who know it but requires research and use of google maps(ex NY,Chicago,D.C, Amsterdam,Glasgow and so on)
-A fictional city can be more versatile but might require more description of the city (ex Gothham,Sin City, Matrix city,Damnation City).

I can also use a Real city but downplay the importance of historical research and all sorts of minor accuracys because chances are I never really read the guidebook.

Prominant real RL cities I have been to and can describe in relative accuracy : Amsterdam, Stockholm, Helsinki, Paris, Utrecht, Lyon, New York, Berlin and Antwerp.

Cities I can describe from TV or Videogames(sorry but abit lolz): Miami, LA, D.C, London, Glasgow, San Fran...

Have also been to other cities but I dont think its relevant because they are either too run down or the political regional climate can put a serious contriversial divide on the Masquerade and gameplay which will just be a burdening metaplot in itself.

Can also have the chornicle take place in the Country outside of a major city, the intro doesn't really commit me to anything specific yet so what is your choice?

Post by: cadmiumcadamium on October 26, 2010, 09:16:53 PM: Im in! How do you want us to submit charsheets?
Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: Radical21 on October 26, 2010, 10:42:05 PM: To submit character sheets you can:
Send it to me via PM.
Use Google Docs and PM me the Link.(preferable)

Rules for creation are VTM MD 3rd Edition Revised with House Rules I already stated.

Please also indicate if you care about what kind of city this all takes place in.(see posts above)

Resources for Character Creation:
http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ (http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/)- excellent tool, creates a fake ID with name,profession and even fake creditcard number.
http://www.digitalgothic.net/Files/downloads.htm (http://www.digitalgothic.net/Files/downloads.htm) - Character Generator tools for VTM.(we are using 3rd edition)

http://www.wix.com/neurotoxin/concept-generator (http://www.wix.com/neurotoxin/concept-generator)- funny random generator tool I made to help think up a character concept, more for NWoD but can still help with thinking up wierd character concepts for OWoD.

I hope to Start the Chronicle in 1-2 weeks so please have your character ready by then.

Also in case you missed the admin edit above:
Per the rules of White Wolf's "Dark Pack", which PV is a part of, links to a free version of the core book can not be posted in the forum.
Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: _username on October 27, 2010, 03:04:58 AM: I've been working on a character for the past half hour. When it's ready, I'll upload it to the site you mentioned in chat.

Actually I think its better if I input the sheets myself that way I can prevent people from cheating by changing their sheet later :justabite:

So please get the Character sheet to me in the method you find most convienient
Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: Radical21 on October 29, 2010, 04:27:15 PM: For you Aydoo
I can alter things abit and allow whoever wants to start as a Human who somehow knows the mortal that got turned against his will.

The Problems:
-To involve said player into the story His/her Character has to have some motive to find what happened to the Human-turned-Fledgeling.
He need to be willing to accept the possibility of being embraced by other players who are already kindred.
-I Also need an indication of what Clan s/he are expecting to be eventually embraced into in case of the possibility of an NPC commiting the Embrace for one reason or another.

Yeah same here and due to technical problems I'm still not out of the swamp entirely(I will be tomorrow hopefully).

RL comes first is RP's first rule.

Anyway if possiable id like to get the character sheets from everyone this week.

I know how time consuming writing can be so if you don't think you have time to write more than a 'skeleton background' thats ok, just describe who your character is in and what does he want out of life in 7 short sentances or so and ill help you flesh it out on the go so it will put less of a strain timewise.

Once that is done we can get started

Since the say Character Creation is like painting on an empty canvas, I think its worth mentioning that Some artists like to paint it all at once like the old style impressionists, Other Oil painters prefer to take their time and get back to complete the picture or occasionaly add detail to it when they have more time. :justabite:

Post by: Aydoo on October 31, 2010, 04:52:53 PM: I was mostly playing Fallout New Vegas and Fable 3 :P

Lol are they any good?

You can submit the Sheet Via PM or just drag a screengrab of it into a Google doc and PM me the Address.

I think putting it in google doc is the best option because then you can control who has access to see the document to ensure that it remains private.

I have created a seperate google account for this so you can also mail it if you like (ill PM you the address)
Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: Aydoo on October 31, 2010, 06:31:34 PM: Both are pretty glitchy, and prone to crashes/bugs. Seems a common problem with most modern games. They're fun, in so the fact; same shit different day. Its pretty much like playing Fallout 3 and Fable 2 abiet different game mechanics in each.

Character sheet should be mailed now. Give it a look over and reply and then I'll set up the relevant story/background/description information.
Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: Isador on October 31, 2010, 06:48:54 PM: hi! I want to apply to this chronicle. I'm a moderately experienced RP'er, having played in several chronicles before, though i dont have much experience with a post-based chronicle. I am willing to give this a go however! Character sheet and bio will be send asap
Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: Radical21 on October 31, 2010, 07:55:32 PM: Welcome Isador

Another starting restriction I forgot to mention and im adding as I go because of issues with character creation:

Starting Rule Addendum:

Disciplines:
Your Disciplines at startup can't be higher than 1 dot.
I will allow the benefit of the doubt that a single discipline can be at 2 dots at startup if the character has a particular aptitude for it mentioned in the character background.

The Rational behind this is that your characters are newly embraced and its unreasonable to think that they had the time to learn to master a discipline to levels 3-5, most of their understanding of their powers is insitinctual at this point, please keep that in mind.

A Reminder and clarification :
You can spend your freebies on backgrounds or other stuff as long as you find a realstic rational for it and think of ways it can be realstically worked into the settings.

For example its rational that mortal charismatic Cult leader who has followers would have Herd background once shes embraced.
While its not always taken for granted instantly, under some highly probable circumstances it is possiable.(I.E The Cult Followers are Emo <Enter korny vampire series here> fanatics who like getting bitten.)

Cult leader is not such a great example because of other reasons but still it is an example.

I will update the OP as well
Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: _username on November 02, 2010, 03:43:23 AM: Chracter sheet is done. See PM for link. I'll reformat and submit the character's bio tomorrow.

Post by: Malavis on November 03, 2010, 08:26:55 PM: Hi there, It's been a few years since I played V:TM, but I'd love to get involved with a MD chronicle. I have two characters drawn up for it, a Nosferatu and a Tremere. Do you have a preference as far as content goes? I'd love to have my character help the story, if possible.
Also, hello to anyone who may know me from the Redemption days :)

Let me know!

Post by: _username on November 04, 2010, 04:29:57 AM: Very nice. If we keep the chronicle alive for long enough, maybe Spock, Jude, Benecol, Dagda, Kjell, LJW or even Yith will materialize from the ether.

Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: _username on November 05, 2010, 04:32:25 AM: And somewhere in that van, he probably still has the old chainsaw with the phrase "rug muncher" stenciled onto it. Benecol told me the back story over a few drinks (back when he was in med school), but I can't remember many of the details.
Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: Malavis on November 05, 2010, 04:45:55 PM: Ohhh man. Malavis lost a hand to Rug Muncher back in the day. Funny thing was that it was friendly fire, the thing kicked back while it was in some sabbat nossie's skull. My dodge rolls have ALWAYS been horrible.

How's Benecol doing? I haven't talked to him since he was in med school- if you do happen to see him/talk to him online, tell him his favorite Malk says hello :)

Now that we've gone irredeemably far off topic, allow me to bring it back home:
I've finished generating a character, I'll be submitting it via e-mail in the next hour or so: I did have a few quick questions:

- What city is this taking place in?
- Did our characters have any kind of warning ahead of time that we were going to be embraced? Any shadowy figures, a sense of dread, being watched? Someone sneaking into my house and reorganizing all our cutlery, anything? :)

Thanks! I'm working on an image for my character, which I'll post to the forum with your permission.
Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: Radical21 on November 05, 2010, 05:49:47 PM: Answers to your questions:

About The City, I asked if there is any preferences eariler on this topic and since there is none Iv decided to go with a fictional city.
I will draw out a map later on. There is also a village/town on the outskirts of the city that is mostly surrounded by forests and mountains. The City also have an industrial zone and a few agricultural farms that are located much further away on the few plains that have been cleared but being small still fall under the city's municipality.

As for the Embrace, if your character was being watched, followed etc perior to the embrace they wouldn't know about it, it came out of nowhere to them, The only common thing is that they were outside of their home right before or when it all happened. you can assume the sire had some preferance for one type of individual over the other but your character has no indication that any of it was or wasn't premeditated.

Pictures and drawings are welcomed of course.
Title: Re: PbP Sandbox-Style Chronicle anyone
Post by: Malavis on November 05, 2010, 05:54:34 PM: Cool- Sounds good. That fits perfectly with my prelude.
I'll be submitting that to you via e-mail shortly.

Thanks!

Post by: Malavis on November 05, 2010, 06:35:36 PM: To any players in this game, depending on what circles you run in, you might've seen a similar ad to this on a few billboards or splash banners on websites, etc. They're an American telecommunications company called Burke Communications, and the fellow posing in the shot is the CEO's Son, Gabriel Burke. The rest is probably unknown to you unless you're a player in the business world, but he's reached that level of fame that makes you say "Where have I seen you before?"

I don't think there is much of a problem with this public background as long as the Embrace is consistent with what I described in the OP.

Post by: Radical21 on November 06, 2010, 05:38:58 PM: For map settings I drafted this as start:

(http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/9898/map3w.jpg)

I think it will be set in Ontario CA in the reigion bordering with NY, OH and MI
Area size:
City : 198 sq km

kind of a tough spot selecting a location really because in a way it demands as much thought as selecting a specific RL city.

Higher res:

5 is already a good number to start with.

I have almost finished writing the basic rules and will publish them soon enough but I still need to detail the settings more though.

Anyone else see that and immediately go "Crap, we're all going to be eaten by werewolves."?
;)

Oh no please no hippiI MEAN WEREWOLVES, please no werewolves :razz:

All jokes aside, am quite excited to get started. I dont suppose you got an estamate on the date when we'll begin, Radical?

I might continue erlier where the intro left off though, for now I must go so expect the IC to start soon, meanwhile try to read the rules and guidelines section since its important that everyone does.

I'd hate to scroll or click my way to the 5th page just to see the start.

Indeed I never said I was going to make the IC thread here

Both OOC and IC topics will be different from this one.
