Bite Back! (A VTM 20th Anarch Chronicle) (Inactive)

Game Master Ridge

A group of Anarch NPCs find their city deserted by the Camarilla higher ups who fled because of an oncoming Sabbat attack. Turning the tables, the Anarchs do a mass embrace themselves hoping to beat the Sabbat to the punch... some of those embraced will be the PCs (A few will be NPCs the PCs may know).

OK, went one level down with Larceny, for 2 points and added 2pts of flaws, Repulsed by Garlic and Cold Breeze. Put 2 points directly into Willpower then spent 2 on upping a virtue. Humanity 6/Willpower 7

Looks like you're ready, and thank you for putting up with my nit pickiness :)

I've played VTM:Bloodlines (So I'm familiar with the lore/setting/genre) but never actually played the TTRPG, so i'm trusting your judgement on it.

No pressure! :D

Also, it's buggy, but I love that game.

Dylan looks good to go. Numbers stack up. I find his nature ironic given he'll be on the side of the anarchs but as his Sire is allied WITH The movement but not an Anarch himself , that works. I see you have freebies on hold. It's good.

And I thank you for the '3 people' list.

Do you have ideas who the retianer, allies are in his backgrounds, and contact yet? or do you want to flesh that out in story on a 'I happen to know a guy' basis? If it's the 3 people you listed, well, depending on how bad or good things go that could change. There's an undead war about to happen ;)

That nature is the fun of it!

No, I figured I would let you decide or if you want me to come up with anyone I certainly can. I always like to leave those open as ST to fit in later for story smoothness.

Absolutely don't want to use any of my 3 for the Backgrounds.

Gotcha! I'll decide for you and if you hate the ones provided feel free to let me know. Retainer options will come up later :)


It's a Day earlier than I said, but I have a 'start' for Lawrence and Bones each in their own starting scenes to kick the tires and let the players get a feel for them.

I'll open up some for others as the other characters are finalized but I figured this way I could space the writing on my end out. :)


Well, I'd say Bones is off to a good start. Kevin and Natalie are taking form in my head even if they may go adrift from original concept ;)


Male 12th Generation Brujah Punk Rocker|Blood Pool: 6/11|Willpower: 5/7

Glad to hear it :)

Only stipulation for me is that they're both smoking hot.


Male 12th Generation Brujah Punk Rocker|Blood Pool: 6/11|Willpower: 5/7

Incidentally, would you be alright with me taking some liberties with the crowd reactions leading up to the opening set?


Noted, both smoking hot! :)

Oh go ahead. Of course their reactions to the performance itself will vary a lot depending on your Charisma plus performance roll upcoming, but you get an automatic sux on that.

OK great, I have some time now, I'll put together the Avatar for Gameplay.


Male - 13th Generation Warrior Setite | Willpower 4/5 | BP 8/10 - 1 Per Round

Done.


Okay. I'll start something up for Dylan :)

Edit: AND Started


Well, two posts with her in it, and I think I hate Denise :)


Male 12th Generation Brujah Punk Rocker|Blood Pool: 6/11|Willpower: 5/7

So, uh... I think I got 7 successes on my roll. :)


male Human Code name: "Black out" (soon to be Lasombra 9th generation)

Morgrym is ready still working on merits and flaws but will fill those in at embrace


male Human Code name: "Black out" (soon to be Lasombra 9th generation)

Would armorer be under crafts specifically the repair of firearms and the ability to make ones own rounds?

Then I could spend the last 8 XP on survival and crafts and be done except for merits and flaws

We'll say Crafts helps with firearms repair and building. But specialty rounds may require appropriate science knowledge or tech etc. Not sure i want phosphorous rounds being common place. so spend your 8 freebies if you want :)


male Human Code name: "Black out" (soon to be Lasombra 9th generation)

Five points on perc, 2 points on survival, 1 pt on will


Started one up for Morgrym, kind of in the middle of action for him

I noticed that. Spoiler alert, you guys almost deep fried a Toreador's brain ;)

Glad to hear it. Almost makes me wish I picked 'Rival Sires' for a flaw instead of 'Uppity'...


Hope folks are still enjoying. For some it's going quick, lots of posts per day, others it's going one or two a day and tht's what I figure ALL will eventually settle to tops. RL if nothing else will slow folks down a bit.

The trickier part will be finding a pace everyone is cool with in scenes you share. When that happens I may ask for one post a day from everyone, but if you don't post in 24 hours I 'bot you' and hope I don't get the RP out of character. I'll also likely limit my own reactions so no one one character appears to zip ahead as if they had celerity six :)

Marcel player, if you're still out there, let me know if you still want in despite the weirdness of it all. Not too late.

Currently most of you are having a 'slice of life' sort of situation but some of you are already meeting vampires and just not knowing about ICly. I'm trying to sprinkle some plot seeds, but do forgive me if let some of those wither on the vine.


male Human Code name: "Black out" (soon to be Lasombra 9th generation)

My character is so sure it's like a slice of I can do it even if I can't and either way I've seen death in the face, s.f.w...

Might need to change soldier to something more fearless

One post a day seems reasonable. I had been posting a lot at first but can't reasonably guarantee that level of attentiveness.


Male 12th Generation Brujah Punk Rocker|Blood Pool: 6/11|Willpower: 5/7

Yeah, I can do 1 post a day at the very least. It's a bit overwhelming to check in on this and see upwards of 10+ posts.

I'm both proud and intimidated myself ;) But The enthusiasm has been nice.

But I'll try not to let it overwhelm folks, and seek out a balance.

EDIT: Before I forget, some great RP guys. It's helping me flesh out things a lot


Shadow's Status

One a day is better for me, I agree, this pace cannot last for too long but it's good to get a hot start the first few weeks when you're starting with "prequels" ;-)


Checked thread today from work and realized I didn't hit submit on my post last night x/


male Human Code name: "Black out" (soon to be Lasombra 9th generation)

Anybody got larceny or underworld contacts who might know "Blackout" so I can connect to another player during my prelude? Or have need for a serious operator and have connection to the NFL Cardinals as my girlfriend and younger sister work there lol

AH, I hate when that happens too. But no worries.


Morgrym, not ignoring you, just pausing on yours as you'll likely wake on 'five days till'

I hope to give Bones and Lawrence a chance to catch up a bit too


male Human Code name: "Black out" (soon to be Lasombra 9th generation)

No prob I pounded it there to get prelude going


Male 12th Generation Brujah Punk Rocker|Blood Pool: 6/11|Willpower: 5/7

I'll see about catching up and posting tomorrow morning.

Awesome, thank you


Okay, Dylan and Morgrym may get their five days later tonight.

If you guys have suggestions or complaints or requests for the game, please let me know either here or PM. I know RL dominates and should, but if there's stuff I CAN affect I will.


male Human Code name: "Black out" (soon to be Lasombra 9th generation)

I am looking to connect to players while on prelude who could use a fellow like me etc


Morgrym Black wrote:

Might be a bit yet but getting there.

****

And folks, for 3 of you 5 Days till has started


Male 12th Generation Brujah Punk Rocker|Blood Pool: 6/11|Willpower: 5/7

OH MY HEAVENS

Getting caught up now!


Michael 'Bones' Starr wrote:

Sorry to pull a double on you but I thought it would help you catch up. After the fight it will probably be on your own way to Five days till :)

But first you get to punch someone in the face


Male 12th Generation Brujah Punk Rocker|Blood Pool: 6/11|Willpower: 5/7

Yeah, he really should've known better than to pull Michael's Devil Trigger. ;)


No kidding. Five sux! :)


Just a head's up, it is possible I'll skip a future day on the count down just to get closer to 'big night of your deaths' which I'm sure you're all looking forward to.

Have to say ST, I love the references to taking dirt naps and how they change every few posts. LOL.

Thanks. I may yet speed it up. I don't think any of you will object if it's a night or two early


1 person marked this as a favorite.

And sorry, Bones Player, your RP is excellent I was just amused at the roadies suggestion. Very in keeping with his uppity flaw :)

I'm definitely stearing my character headlong into possible danger.

You found it! :)


Vegecaninibal, I sent you a PM regarding current scene


Male 12th Generation Brujah Punk Rocker|Blood Pool: 6/11|Willpower: 5/7

ST, what sort of roll would it be to determine if they're being serious?


Michael 'Bones' Starr wrote:

Perception plus Subterfuge or Perception plus Empathy would likely do it. :)
