If you gonna die, might as well be with style...
Does Alessandro regain a point of Willpower from the encounter with The Ghost?
Survivalist: Regain one point of Willpower whenever you survive a threatening situation through tenacity, or when your counsel causes someone else to persist in spite of opposition.
Tenacity, threatening situation... Did Alessandro help bolster The Ghost's resolve against his masters?
Visionary: Regain a point of Willpower each time you are able to convince others to have faith in your dreams and follow the course of action dictated by your vision. Note that gaining support is the key to a Visionary regaining Willpower. Success need not come to a Visionary, at least not with every step in changing the structures in question. Her greatest successes may indeed come after her Final Death.
Gathered info, given secrets, made an "ally" (a stretch, I know)... basically possible kindred (no pun) spirit against the same machine. Of course Alessandro didn't know about the "darkness" until now, yet still protecting the people of Venice (his vision).
I will grant you a point of Willpower for bolstering Ghost against his foes - they are not his masters but he is certainly at a disadvantage against them at the moment.
Thanks!
Everyone earns one more XP for completing a very event filled evening.
I will update the thread on Sunday morning as I need some time to look back and see what should happen next for many of you with such a long delay from the beginning to the end of the evening.
Sorry for the delay, the weekend got away from me. I will post a trickle at a time to catch up during the week.
What? Another 3 XP for waiting patiently... you're too kind! :)

LOL. Sorry tis not to be. Things will begin to go smoother as I have you in bunches (though you would not know it based on the last sequence).
still here.
Just an XP whore... never mind me!
Going to spend my 4 exp on Brawl 3.
Alrighty, note that on your sheet along with the XP allocation.
FYI. In the next month or so I will attempt to build out some more of all of your close acquaintances (like employees and what not) so that we have a better frame of reference for who is who.
Dennis... how much total xp have you given out so far? Just want to make sure I didn't miss any of your xp posts.
I would have to check, I have not given out XP in a while. We have been moving slowly and I don;t want to give out TOO much XP this early on. Once the entire group is more cohesive and we move through days and nights quicker I can give more XP.
Is this everyone level together or independent leveling? I obviously joined later so... Lagging, power-level wise. Not asking for handouts, just wondering.
Well Vamp was always a bit different from an XP perspective than other games. XP is not spent on levels but on individual statistics. The more XP you get allows you to buy more but that does not necessarily create a discrepancy in power levels. There are so many stats to spend XP on that it really depends on your approach - you can be a social or a combat monster whatever you prefer.
You did not come into the game very late at all really. The rest of the players have 4-7 more XP than you.
Also, from time to time I do give out bonus awards by PM only.
After the end of this day and night I will award further XP.
I know the pace is slow right now (which of course slows down the awarding of XP) but I am essentially running 7 different game at the moment. I don't feel the need to be rushed so if you all don't mind the pace I don't mind :-)
Definitely wasn't rushing.
Just a heads up. My posting will be spottier than usual for the next week as I will be on vacation with my family and may not always have internet access.

Not a problem, Dr. Cappelli is spending a nice day enjoying the city so he will have some more downtime at the moment :-)
Enjoy the vacation!
FYI the wife is going in tomorrow to induce labor. As a result I will be unavailable for the next week or so.
When I return we will move to the late afternoon of the current day (which should move relatively quickly) and then into the evening.
congratulations there sir. The time has come for you to raise the next gen of GM's. Enjoy and God Bless
Yes, congrats and best wishes. And, apologies of course... for the sleep deprivation.
I will update the thread tomorrow morning once I have had a chance to re-read the thread!
Sorry baby has been keeping me busy. Tomorrow night should be free for me to update.
no problems.
Don't try to do too much... focus on mommy and baby. Just survive, man!
Baby it seems hates Vampires!
I will get new posts up when I can, hopefully sooner rather than later.
I sent Private Messages to all of you. Please review them and let me know if I missed anything.
If not I will post updates within the next few days.
I will also attempt to fil in some NPC oles for some of you as you have been meeting with NPCs I have yet to name!
If no one else has any issues related to their Private Messages I will start up the game thread again either tonight or tomorrow. Need to put some prep time into my table top D&D game as well so it will be a busy weekend considering I will be at work for another 6 hours still today!
Success! I have finally update the thread. I want to do a bit more work on background details but that will have to wait a few weeks. In the meantime the plot can continue without some details which are not specific to the story.
I know that some of you have a hard time posting on a day to day basis. To keep the campaign moving I may begin to DMPC some of your characters. Many DM's on the Paizo boards do this as PBP games move at a crawl to begin with. From now on I will give people 72 hours to respond to a post, after that I will advance the plot forward.
I know that I have had absences as well but I don;t want the game to get too bogged down, especially once you all start forming a more cohesive group. I swaer that night is coming!
I am hoping you are all enjoying the pacing and the intracicy of the plot thus far.
Sweet!
Danger at the door step... Is that my cue?
@ Alessandro - not yet. But soon!
I was kidding, as I'd doubt Alessandro would be deemed dangerous.
But associating with him might get you killed!
I should spend some of those XP points instead of just hoarding them like an XP miser.......
Well Andrew I am not sure I agree. As a player I would save them up to spend as a Vampire :-)
However, you can spend them if you wish to, many players have already. If you do just track how much you spent and what you spent them on.
@ Alessandro, you are quite dangerous, I am sure soon I will be looking to kill you :-)
Well Andrew I am not sure I agree. As a player I would save them up to spend as a Vampire :-)
I am thinking the same thing, maybe catches on to a clan discipline a bit more quickly than average.
Still feeling miserly.
Can I have more XP, I wanna be miserly. :)
Can I have more XP, I wanna be miserly. :)
Soon you too shall feel miserly :-)
New posts for the evening are up! Once this night is concluded (it may be a long one as there is a lot that will take place) I will award XP.
As many of you can see, despite the fact that the player controlling the Volkov's is no longer with us the trouble that his characters are causing remains :-)
What is the xp cost for that?
Internet says current rating *7
....that could have been a houserule.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I will houserule this myself. For dots 2-5 5x current rating. 6-10 7x current rating.
OK spent 5 points and raised from 1 to 2.
Feel like I have already turned nocturnal......
Gotta be careful with the Premature Evacuation.
Ay, chihuahua! Alessandro guess right? Dang... I hadn't been reading the other threads.
Did heguess right? Hard to say....
