Well at least we all have sufficient time to contemplate what we'd like to play next. ;)


Male Lasombra 6th Generation Max Blood Pool /Current: 29/30

Well...I took cannot sire as a flaw, so I guess I will be changing clans.

You could play another Lasombra :-)


Male Ventrue 8 Generation 14/15 BP

If some Lasombra died shortly after embracing a child, leaving their fledgling to either be "adopted" or killed, you could step up considering you would never be able to sire yourself.
You could still teach the fledling, and bind them by blood. It would technically not be your progeny in blood...but it would in spirit.


Shadow's Status

Will finish updates later tonight, the youngling has stirred...


Shadow's Status

I will get the full Elysium post up later. A bit more tired this morning than I thought I would be.


Shadow's Status

Been busy, updates likely Friday evening.


Shadow's Status

Weekend busier than I anticipated plus I have a bit or writer's block.

I will push forward on posting this week.


Shadow's Status

And we are on track once again!

Not my strongest post in Elysium after a long delay but better to start somewhere and pick up momentum than to keep delaying...


I did take "Catlike Balance" (1pt Merit) for just such an occaision.

You possess an innately perfect sense of balance. You reduce the difficulties of all balance-related rolls (e.g., Dexterity + Athletics to walk along a narrow ledge) by two.

Also, Dexterity specialty is Lightning Reflexes - could help a little? Basically, he's built for this.

DC 7 for you and 2 successes needed, I forgot about your parkour specialty and of course you get to re-roll 10's. :-)

That roll was outstanding!

Will post an update later :-)

Like the classic Prince of Persia. Walk, run, jump, grab, climb, crouch, drop.

Hey Franz you have until the 1830s or so until the steamship takes over...


And... Vampires don't like water, then there is the rival Khadaji Fleet.


Male Ventrue 8 Generation 14/15 BP

Aye, I just want to be prepared for the golden age of piracy in a few centuries :)
That said, I do have a fleet already, so there's that. We'll just see where things go.(can't go Rothschild before ~1500)


Shadow's Status

All of these failed dice rolls, how exciting :-)


Don't jinx Alessandro!


Shadow's Status

Sick most of the damn week.

Updates now!


Shadow's Status

OK up to speed! :-)


Shadow's Status

Lorenzo, I am going to give Vitaliano and Onfroi a chance to chime in before I post in the Elysium scene once more.


5th Generation Cappadocian | Bloodpool: 26/40 | Willpower: 6/8

Got it.


Shadow's Status

Meant to get to this today but ha a crazy day, updates tomorrow!


Shadow's Status

Damn, fell asleep last night and work is a mess today :-(


Alessandro has Charisma 4 with a specialty of Urbane.

Also, the Blush of Health merit.

And, the Natural Leader merit.


5th Generation Cappadocian | Bloodpool: 26/40 | Willpower: 6/8

Well folks, it seems I've landed in the hospital with my current illness and will be out of action a while longer. Sorry, hopefully I'll be back soon.


Hey Lorenzo! Feel better... wishing you all the best! Your health comes first.

Hey Storyteller! I hope Alessandro is on the right track!

Sorry to hear that Tal.

Get well soon!


Feel better

I hope we are both in the right track!


Male Ventrue 8 Generation 14/15 BP

Just a heads-up(for all my games):
If everything works out according to plan, on this next Friday, my third daughter will be born.
I had to spend more time with the 2 I already had and help at home, as well as do some preparation work at home(moving and building furniture etc.) Simultaneously, I am taking 4 weeks of unpaid leave, and that has left work very...stressful. Trying to get every open topic done or handed over to someone that can and will take care of it has left me spending way longer in office than usually, further cutting into available time and leaving me exhausted.
Tomorrow will be my last workday before then - I'll try and make sure to update before Friday, but the first few days after, I may be MIA(with 2 kids at home, and 1 in the hospital). If the first two kids are an indication, I will have some time in the evenings to keep posting, so I expect to be back at latest after we are reunited at home(4-5 days after birth), and, paradoxically, less stressed than I feel right now(seriously, I feel burned out - and while those little joy bundles can be incredibly demanding, they never left me feeling as drained as work manages to do.).
Thanks for your patience. As said, I'll be here again before ;) Just figured some advance notification would be in order.

Should be well within the normally acceptable range for responses, but figured I'll let you know regardless.


All the best!


Male Italian (Toreador)

Crazy week. I maybe slower in responding as well


I think of this campaign when I hear this song, specifically Alessandro of course, and Venice.

5th Generation Cappadocian | Bloodpool: 26/40 | Willpower: 6/8

Thank you for the well-wishes. Most appreciated.

I'm home from the hospital. I'm still a bit drained but I should be posting regularly again in the next day or two.


Shadow's Status

Will be unavailable for the next few days, will post again likely on Sunday evening. Just an FYI.


Shadow's Status

Was planning on posting last night but got busy with other things and by the time I freed up it was too late. Will try and push things forward no later than Friday.


Cool here, Boss... take your time!


Male Ventrue 8 Generation 14/15 BP

Back at home, everything went well.
We are still adjusting our daily routine and rituals to accomodate our newest family member, but things are calming down.

I expect to be more active again in games shortly, but posting will be spotty until I am caught up in all of them.

Got sick for the third time this Winter. Wheee.

The least damaging of the three illnesses so I will be posting now before work!

Damn, will not be able to get to this Game till tomorrow, sorry for the further delay. Once we are rolling again hopefully I do not get sick AGAIN this winter...


Alessandro is in a precarious position... So take your time and make sure you are in a good mood!

Shadow's Status

Sorry guys, waaayyy to tired to think last night and need to study today.

Will update tomorrow night so we can get this game moving forward once more.

Apologies for the extra delays. :-(


Shadow's Status

Aaaand it's 3 days later.

Again, apologies for the delay. We are about to hit the 8 year mark on this one and I wanted to be a bit further along than we are but life is what it is.

Good news, I finally have the free time RIGHT NOW to move us along.

And here we go.


Sorry folks, I feel I'm hogging the spotlight... no idea what Alessandro is supposed to do.

But, if he does save Talisman's hide, he wants to be Prince of Venice! Ehem... Kiss the Ring.

Hey, Ranerius wants to promote peace and harmony in this new sect.

I'd say your goals are more reasonable *G*

A face?

Anyone in the United States do DevOps for a living, specifically with customer facing experience (for a tech vendor)?

Solutions Architect or Deployment Engineer.

Not at all, everyone has their own scenes!
