Thanks ST.

Dark Archive

Hey Shadow, I've played a few of your games over the years and am in one with you now. PbP is a great hobby and I enjoy it thoroughly and I understand how it can turn into an escape. Hope everything goes well for you and I look forward to continuing. If you need to close this game down at some point, don't worry about us, we enjoying playing but it's a game. Taking care of yourself always come first.


INACTIVE - GAME DIED

That's right! Keep yourself healthy first!


Shadow's Status

My apologies for the prolonged absence but I was hoping that working through some things would clear me up to retain a good chunk of my posting interests.

Unfortunately, that is not going to be feasible.

I need to start working a second or third job possibly in the coming months so my time will be much more limited than it was before. As a result I will need to close down this game.

Thanks for understanding.


9th Generation Gangrel | Bloodpool: 9/14 | Willpower: 6/7

No worries. Take care of yourself. See you around the boards as time permits.


Shadow's Status

Torpor at an end?


Shadow's Status

Dalton is a go. Kent a maybe. If I get 2 more Yeas I'll start up again with a what happened thus far post this week.


Female 11th Generation Tremere|Blood Points: 12/12|Willpower: 7/7|Relationship Map

I'm interested in getting this back up.


Shadow's Status

Sweet, just one more...


Shadow's Status

James makes 3.

I'll have this game up no later than this Friday night. :-)


male Human Code name: "Black out" (soon to be Lasombra 9th generation)

I am here too!


9th Generation Gangrel | Bloodpool: 9/14 | Willpower: 6/7

Looks like we have most of the group back. Let's give this another go.


Shadow's Status

Alright, the synopsis is up.

I believe we have the following PCs remaining:

Dalton Michaels,
Rick North,
Morgrym Black,
Kent Atherton (though initially he will be limited in his posting),
Victoria Howe, and
James L. Sheridan.

I have privately recruited one more PC who will join once he returns from vacation in a few weeks.

That is 7 PCs an more than enough to get this going once more, I do not plan to recruit anyone else.

I will put up a push post now to get the action going once more.

Thank you all for returning to give this one another go :-)

I'm in as well. Just waiting for the proper moment to jump in.


Shadow's Status

i PUT UP A PUSH POST, PLEASE EVERYONE JUMP IN SO i KNOW WHO IS HERE, THANKS.

F*~&ing caps lock....


Shadow's Status

Yeah sorry bad month there. Tomorrow I will dedicate the afternoon to getting my games up and running once more.


Female 11th Generation Tremere|Blood Points: 12/12|Willpower: 7/7|Relationship Map

I'm going to have to dedicate a few XPs to getting Expression, Intimidation & Leadership if I'm going to make the most of Dominate, I think.


Shadow's Status

Old School Dominate is Intimidation (Dot 1), Leadership (Dot 2), and Subterfuge (Dot 3). Using 2ed rules for this game specifically as that was the rules set for the year 1993.


Female 11th Generation Tremere|Blood Points: 12/12|Willpower: 7/7|Relationship Map

Alrighty then. So, just Intimidation & Leadership.


Shadow's Status

Closing the night and staring the next night now.

God bless the United States Military and thank all soldiers past and present for the gift of freedom. My heroes.

Just waiting for SIN to move us along...


Shadow's Status

As it has been a while, all PCs 3 XP.


Female 11th Generation Tremere|Blood Points: 12/12|Willpower: 7/7|Relationship Map

I'll spend my 3 XP on Leadership 1.


looks human Blood Pool 6/10; Willpower 7/7

where do i see the costs for stuff online? i dont have books in front of me

i figure i have 8 now, i should spend some hah


Shadow's Status

5x Current Attributes
2x Current Abilities - 1st dot 3
7x Current out of clan disciplines
5x current in clan disciplines
2x current Willpower
2x current Humanity
Background cannot be raised
I do not remember Virtues but then I've never seen a PC raise one in game before.


Plus

10 to start a new discipline (teacher likely required)
3 to start a new ability (as Victoria's Leadership above)


looks human Blood Pool 6/10; Willpower 7/7

so a second dot in presence would cost me 5? and 10 to increase my charisma from 2 to 3?


That's definitely right on the Presence.

I thought that XP costs on Attributes was Current Level x 4, which would mean a 2 to 3 jump would cost 8 XP, but I see Shadow has called it out as CL x 5 above...

Talomyr is correct, I humbly apologize for the error!


looks human Blood Pool 6/10; Willpower 7/7

hmm so now i can spend all 8 to get one more charisma, or 5 for presence. decisions, decisions.

any advice?


Not sure, but looking at you character sheet you have only spent two dots out of the three you should have on socials at character creation.

If ST SIN is a forgiving sort, I would put the third dot from character creation in Charisma, spent 5 xp on Presence, and spend 3 xp on the first dot of performance so that you have a decent dice pool on the Awe power of Presence.


Female 11th Generation Tremere|Blood Points: 12/12|Willpower: 7/7|Relationship Map

I probably should save some XP up for Thaumaturgy at some point...

If you'll help a brother out, Victoria, I'll save up some XP for Thaumaturgy as well ;)

Assuming Carna doesn't decide to have me staked to the roof of the local Chantry...

i'll do this then.

i had some confusion, i had placed 3 dots in music thinking that worked with Presence. should i just change music to performance and spend that 3 xp on something else or save it?


Shadow's Status

I just ran the upcoming scene for my table top group last night, interested to see how you all handle this one!


Shadow's Status

I'll give it another day or so, if no one else posts, I will assume that the rest of the Coterie follow Victoria.

Regarding Self-Control rolls in this instance: do 1s remove successes like they normally would?

Yes.

I forgot about 1's. Drat.


Shadow's Status

I am here, will update tomorrow, sorry for the delays this past 7-8 days.


looks human Blood Pool 6/10; Willpower 7/7

I have:

Fame 1
Resources 2
Allies 2

Is it feasible to use those to my benefit? Someone in Chicago is a fan of mine? Maybe pull someone with Auspex to help us do some sleuthing?

Sure!

I will delve into that in a spoilered post when I have a second.


Shadow's Status

I pulled Kent from the game as I know he is having RL issues and has not posted in a while, we are moving fine with 5.


Shadow's Status

BUMP for the other spoiler posts :-)


Shadow's Status

All PCs pIck up 2 XP.
