Enjoy vacation!
Think in caught up. Kept getting confused back and forth with the mechanic.

Uh what? I get the second sentence the first one I don't quite follow :-)

Typo... I was out of it for a bit, "I'm caught up."
In light of the new mechanic, may I expend 2xp for Expression 2?

Absolutely! :-)
The dice suck.

Tell me about it, I have had some legendary failures with the dice roller on these Boards...
We will keep a holding pattern on that scene for now as the Gangrel, Brujah, and Assamite Fledglings have yet to chime in :-)
If I may, may I spend 1xp into politics? I believe...that is a 1 for 1 expenditure and I have 1xp left yes?
Also sorry for the long pause. A bit of writers block and also trying to find as much information as I could about my own Sire vs that of his opponent takes a bit of time to make a Pro Con sorting when you get distracted and frustrated.

First dot is 3 xp, sorry :-(
Not a problem this thread is a marathon not a sprint!
The dice suck.
BTW, that is not a Botch yet! It is a cumulative roll system and you still have two more bites at the apple in this scene with Bajazet...
Hmm... Does trying to win over Simon and Bajazet count for the Urbane specialty?
I figure it's crossing social lines (low/high Clans), political lines (bloodlines, Clans), geographic and cultural.
Do my 10s count twice?
Apology for my long absence, Santa gave me a stomach flu or dysentery for all I care as a christmas present.
I'm back and starting to reading a wall of text now...

Worry not much of it happens away from Dunstan so it will make it easier to sift through.
Vacation plans got canceled. I will be trying to update the Campaign Info Tab this weekend as well as updating my offline campaign notes.
Likely I will update again Sunday evening as a result. This will also give a few people who have not posted in a few days a chance to catch up.
As we are nearing the end of this scene and moving onto the next scene all players receive:
2 more XP.
There will be two more scenes this evening both shorter than this one. Some of the PC's will be away from that scene but most of you will be in attendance. Then you will have some end of night time to wrap things up before Court begins the next night.
Hazzah then....I shall grab rank 1 politics now then ^^

Ditto! Well, 1 more rank!
Day got away from me. Will be completing some behind the scenes information tonight. Tomorrow I have off so I will be able to update the thread I/C then.
By tomorrow I will have all of the Statistics which are important to our new Social Combat system for ALL NPC's present (in case you want to start politicking those who don't have a vote but might have influence).
THEN, I will post updates and move the scene along.
I don't want to miss any rounds of carrying favor. Don't know how many round worth of dice are left.
2 for Simon.
1 for Bajazet?

Correct -
Simon 2.
Bajazet 1.
Child sleep difficulties set me back a bit...
I will update tonight but will tally up rolls at the end of the scene once all rolls are complete.
Tomorrow night, I will move the scenes along to the next portion of the night. Any rolls not made can be made LATER on that night as they do not all need to be in succession.
@ Alessandro - I did not answer earlier, yes I believe that if you are properly specialized, the 10's will count twice.

I know better than to harass a time challenged and sleep deprived GM!
Thanks for the ruling!
More dice, more 1s.
More dice, more 1s.
Every player seems to get bitten by that bug now and again.
I prefer around six dice for that rule of one reason for when I role more it always seems to chomp me
I am going to wait one more night to see if any stragglers post...
Then I will move on.
Sorry, I fell behind. Illness plauging the household among other things
Looking for a couple more updates before I move on, will move on fully Friday regardless.
Our Gangrel unfortunately has informed me that he is unable to continue to make the commitment to posting. As a result, I have reached out to a few people to replace that Clan in Gameplay, Cantor will still be an NPC.
Once everyone checks in, the next scene will begin. That scene will be much shorter and structured than the prior one which was very sandbox.
Sorry for my last few short posts will get it picked up again thanks and looking ever forward to the game

No worries, not every post needs to be a Shakesperian soliloquy :-)
Will update the thread again tomorrow night.
Work is getting crazy. Will not be able to post again until Saturday or Sunday.
Tomorrow at work will be a long day, I will move the game forward again Wednesday night. This will give some of you who wish to chime in (or chime in again) a chance to do so.
I think the path of honorable accord is where Onfroi will fall so he will be looking for someone like that to link up with
Had a dinner party tonight I did not anticipate being so late. I will post an update tomorrow. I will also be introducing our new player tomorrow as well.
That is a LOT of failed Conscience rolls...
Well, I'm glad Ranerius made his. Poor Innkeeper is going to have nightmares for days.
I think you area tough GM.
A dc 6 or 7 for humanity is common and easy the best thing to do is raise your conscience and get off the road to humanity
I think you area tough GM.
That one was by the book.
The DC for the check is 6, the Sin on the Road was a rating 5. Your HUmanity is a 7. For each point below your Humanity rating is ABOVE the Sin, the DC is raised, thus for Alessandro, DC 8!
Though if you ask Xing and Michele they will confirm I am a much kinder and gentler DM than I used to be....
Telling the truth he is :)
old age has made him soft.
How do we regain Humanity?
I was trying for the Chivalry Path XD
And I do have a rather significant flaw that hurts me with this I think.
old age has made him soft.
You are older then me buddy!
Updates tomorrow lot of shoveling today brain is as tired as the body... old age! :)
So basically it's a self regulating feedback loop?
It wants to keep you no higher than 5.

It is mechanical and yet not mechanical at the same time.
Vampire was initially envisioned as a "Storytelling game of personal horror". The idea being that the longer you exist the more likely it is that you will begin to falter and become less of a man.
To retain dots of the Road of Humanity, you must emulate Humans. But as you interact with them you are forced to use them as sustenance, sometimes control will slip and bad things happen the guilt of those acts forcing your Humanity ever downwards.
Only strict adherence allows one to be a Paragon (Road Rating of 8+).
Regaining Humanity can be done mechanically (2 x current rating per dot).
I am also considering a Roleplaying system for regaining Road points based on practicing NOT violating tenets of the Road. More on that when I have a chance to breathe as I need to think it through more!
