Oh my God. Please tell me if a spot opens up for this. Longtime V:tM player and DM here eager to have a little fun with the setting again. Know exactly which character to use and fitting for the problems Gary has. A Tremere from the Head Chantry at Barnard College in NYC, one who still maintains a public persona and works in public relations. He was one of the team who worked to help NYC avoid the same problem Gary is facing when they had a sudden influx of new bloods from the old world, carving up the boroughs into feeding sectors to try to control the kindred and kine populations...an arrangement that made some very strange bedfellows that have since led to some of the city's turmoil. And probably with directions from Aisling to put his resources to use revitalizing a depressed local economy and giving Scarborough a setup to be the local clan rep.
Just if a spot opens, I'll leap in with fangs barred.
