The boards have been a mess since last Wednesday night. As a result I have fallen behind in all games. I'll get to this one within the next few nights if not tonight.

Storyteller SIN |

I passed the f#$# out earlier tonight. As this will be a leap to Midnight I/C for the next update I'll need to get to it after the kid goes to sleep Saturday night.
Once I get that in we'll be back on track. Sometimes, you just lose a week in PbP, what can you do? ;-(
With the boards working now and my workload AT work finally manageable, posts should start to come more frequently again.
I would say sometime in July or August, the single table will split into two tables. One set of PCs heading to Chicago and the other set of PCs heading to Milwaukee.

Storyteller SIN |

Alright folks. Update for this game is next. I have 140 mg of Caffeine so I'll be good to go for a while tonight to update 10 more games! ;-)
As an FYI, I will be Recruiting for my V20 Dark Ages game as I need a Ventrue PC. If anyone is interested in a 10,000 (or damn near it anyway) post game set in Venice in 1309, let me know. No need to know any of the backstory, I'll bring you in as a Mortal.

Storyteller SIN |

I was going to move us to Midnight but a few of you started conversations I want to have at least one go around on before I move forward. Plus Charlotte still needs her introduction ;-)

Storyteller Shadow |

Hopefully the boards are stable again (they have been this morning) and I can get out updates over the next two days.

Storyteller SIN |

Almost there, I believe one or two more exchanges and it will be time to ring in the New Year :-)

Storyteller SIN |

OK. Feel free to interact with one another or Feed. Close out whatever scenes you are currently in.
With the next update I will be moving us to right before Midnight!

I'm very sorry. Starting this saturday after a brief stay at my family, I will be accompanying my aging father on a road trip of over 1300 miles to retrieve two dogs and 'some' furniture. With Holiday traffic awaiting our return trip no doubt.
During this i will not likely have internet, so we're looking at 8 to 9 days when I will be unable to post.
I will try to get some in, but it seems unlikely I will be able to. Please bot me freely.

No worries.
Work keeps screwing me so it is probably not till next Monday that I will fully get on track. I expected this week to be much better and its been instead one of the worst weeks in the last two months ;-(

Just an FYI I will be taking 2 DM board breaks in the month of July:
1. July 2 through July 4 and
2. July 8 through July 11.
During this time I will be working on plot for some of the Campaigns as well as updating Campaign Information tabs for all Campaigns.

I still have an opening as noted below, anyone interested?
Recruitment is OPEN once again for Bloodlines - A V20 Vampire the Dark Ages Campaign - Clan Ventrue
You will start as Mortal.
All I need is a concept to start with.
This is a LONG running game, 10,000 posts. However, prior knowledge of the Chronicle is not necessary or quite frankly even desirable as you should not know anything of what has already taken place anyway.
For some reason no one seems to want to play Ventrue. Oi...

You already got me as an Assamite. I'm not convinced she'll live through the night, but she's going to go out in as big a blaze of glory as she can. ;)

Storyteller SIN |

Man I'm really enjoying playing Lucian :-)
Never got to run him before in a Vamp game.

Storyteller SIN |

Finally getting back into the swing of things again. Campaign Info tab update now. I/C updates soon!

Storyteller SIN |

Folks, by Sunday night I will have us back on track and moving forward I should be able to get to my normal posting rates ;-)
I did not get really any time at all to do what I wanted to do on the boards with my board breaks so I've had to do it all during the last 10 or so days on a daily basis. That adds up to one or two game updates each day, with 24 games that's slow going you can imagine, instead of the normal 5-10 per night I normally do!
I am trying to by tonight or tomorrow night have all of my Games up to date thus the resumption of normal posting by this Sunday.

Storyteller SIN |

Between an uncooperative child and getting a new game off of the ground and GoT season 7 episode 2, I'll not get to my next update till tomorrow.

Storyteller SIN |

I know I keep saying tomorrow but for sure this time tomorrow, I'll post from work as I want this to get moving forward!
Now that my Forgotten Realms game is almost up and running I should have my free time to post for existing games back to normal.
Reading through most if not all DM posts to update Campaign Info tabs on 25 games is time consuming work and i just put together 16 pages of highly edited source material for the FR game so that sort of stuff eats time and makes one a bit tired...

OK, this is the last round of RP before you split into two separate tables.
If you have a preference you did not declare, do so now. Remember, only 7 of you can stay within the Chicago thread.

Storyteller SIN |

CHICAGO:
Kent Gangrel, Morgrym Toreador, Tyrell Brujah
James Ventrue, Rick Brujah, Charlotte Malkavian, Julian Toreador.
MILWAUKEE:
Iron John Ventrue.
Randolph Tremere, Shane Nosferatu, Morag Ventrue, Patrick Malkavian, Bradley Tremere.
UNDECIDED:
Dalton Gangrel. I can develop rationales for why you would go to either city Dalton. You seemed to indicate a preference for Chicago but would accept the Milwaukee Table as well. I am fine with running an 8 and a 6 as opposed to two tables of 7. I am leaning towards Milwaukee, let me know your thoughts.
If your name is in bold it is because you chose that city as a preference.
By next week, I will move us along with the parties on separate Tables. For the Finale, which won't be a while, I'll bring you all back together once more in Chicago.

Storyteller SIN |

Fine either way. Just kinda hamstrings a 3 pt merit and my contact if I'm in Milwaukee as opposed to Chicago.
Contacts I can monkey with Merits I cannot, Chicago it is!

Storyteller SIN |

Final Table Assignments -
CHICAGO:
Kent Gangrel, Morgrym Toreador, Tyrell Brujah
James Ventrue, Rick Brujah, Charlotte Malkavian, Julian Toreador, Dalton Gangrel.
MILWAUKEE:
Iron John Ventrue.
Randolph Tremere, Shane Nosferatu, Morag Ventrue, Patrick Malkavian, Bradley Tremere.
I will let the Milwaukee group know when to switch to the other table and provide the link to do so.

Morag Darrow |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |

Morag is going feel very punished for being sent to the beer capitol of the world. She's absolutely certain there will be no culture to be found.
She most definitely does not plan to move in to a basement apartment, and hang out in a bowling alley. The horror of that life would be to much for her to bear. :)

Storyteller SIN |

In case it is not clear, those of you who are selected for the Chicago table should volunteer to go. Those of you who are going to Milwaukee should not ;-)
Once this scene is completed, I will link the Milwaukee group to their thread and pick up their action separately. Then one shall become two.
Tyrell, if you follow Juggler you will have a bit of a different adventure. If you are ok with that, I am ok with that as you are the only true Anarch in the group right now. I will keep you in the Chicago thread just under spoilers until such time as you meet with the group once more.

Storyteller SIN |

Hey is my nightclub moving to chicago with me? I could change it to some other type of elysium since another player also has the same merit.
No still in East Chicago.
Same Merit is ok not a big deal as both are different with different vibes.
Neither could be in Chicago proper as you'd be dead cause Lodi would have killed you before if you tried to move in on Chicago unnaounced in such a manner...

Playing in 20+ games and running 26 (soon to be 27) is time consuming. Outside of the boards I have a fairly busy work schedule and of course a life!
Often I find that if I fall behind in updates, I need to make time to simply update a Discussion Thread to inform the PCs of a particular game that I am either going to be posting later in the day or week or will be on a break form the boards for one reason or another.
To save time updating so many damn threads I am going to open this thread and link all of my DM aliases (and PC aliases) to this thread to inform people as to status.
Of course if people feel the need to ask other questions outside of PbP feel free to do so but mainly this will be a thread dedicated to ensuring that my PCs know my status and to assure everyone that even though I may have some absences away from the boards (or particular games) that new thread will always be up to date with my status.

Storyteller SIN |

Can you hotlink that in the header or Campaign Info? I'll super lose it / forget it exists.
It's right in my ST SIN Avatar see the hotlink for Shadow's Status right under my Avatar name ;-)

Storyteller SIN |

You know I can go to milwaukee and even the numbers and move my business and seperate the two toreador
Nah, the trip will be abrupt for such a move. Plus, I like you in Chicago for my own reasons ;-)

FYI, Ridge (Shane's Puppet Master) is looking for some more PCs for a Vamp game here:
Check it out!
