Feel better!

Pretty sure in my scene the NPC was about done teaching me 3 new Disciplines, no need to think too deeply, just go with it! :-)-

Yep, no rush, hope you feel better soon.


Locations and NPCs

Back among the living, so to speak. Update coming this evening.

That's the problem with being sick, the real life crap piles up on you as no one else is doing it! :-(


Locations and NPCs

A little tired and drained tonight, although I should be able to update the game tomorrow during the day.


Shadow's Status

Been a messy several days, I'll post up tomorrow.


Male Clan Gangrel 12th Gen

Still here, just looked like he was on pause while others talked ;)

And Tomorrow afternoon I will be on the road to visit family for 3 nights and some change. I won't be posting much


Locations and NPCs

Enjoy the visit. We'll be here when you get back.


On vacation (without computer ) from tomorrow 20 July until 23 July, please bot me as needed


Shadow's Status

I should be up and running again this Friday, still buried at work...


Locations and NPCs

After today, I will be out of the country for the next two weeks and will have limited access to the site.


Male Clan Gangrel 12th Gen

Noted! Safe trip!


12/13 BP 7/7 WP

Have a good one!


Shadow's Status

Sorry for the continued absence, I should be back on track to post as a PC by tomorrow morning.


Locations and NPCs

Back from my vacation and I will be able to resume a regular posting schedule.


Shadow's Status

I am back from being overwhelmed with RL, checking posts now.


Shadow's Status

Simultaneously:

Edwin to Tremere.

The Doctor to Anita.

Afterwards:

Ollie to Lasombra [Edwin will accompany him]

Next Night:

Edwin to Khalid.

I'm fine with whoever wants to come along with Edwin.


I can join anyone who wants


12/13 BP 7/7 WP

Same for me.


Shadow's Status

Maybe the Malkavians visit Anita and Ollie and I see the Tremere.

Then we can all meet together for Ollie's meeting with the Lasombra.


agreed


Male Clan Gangrel 12th Gen

Sounds good. Sorry, RL throwing me a few more curveballs.

You just need Jobu... he can help you hit that curveball!

In my table top game set in Chicago in 1994 I am running Under a Blood Red Moon and the PCs are playing a Camarilla Coterie, a Sabbat Pack, and a Werewolf Pack. The Sabbat PCs just captured Anita Wainwright! :-)


Locations and NPCs

White Wolf/Onyx Path have made so many good NPCs over the years, it'd be a shame not to use them...

I was fond of Gordon Keaton, but believe he was killed in one of the first editions, alas.

Also, do we regain a point of Willpower every night or is it limited to when Natures are fulfilled?


Locations and NPCs

In the V20 Book, here's what they have to say about regaining Willpower:

Regaining Willpower:

Generally, a character’s Willpower pool may be replenished
whenever the character fulfills a goal or has
an opportunity to restore her self-confidence. Ultimately,
specific instances of Willpower restoration are
up to the Storyteller. For this reason, Storytellers are
advised to be prudent in allowing characters to regain
Willpower; it is a powerful and versatile Trait, and permitting
players to rely on it too much strips much of
the challenge from a story.

1) Characters’ Willpower pools replenish fully at the
end of a given story (and that’s story, not session). The
Storyteller may restrict this by requiring that the characters
achieve (or partially achieve) a goal or otherwise
boost their self-esteem. For example, if the characters
didn’t destroy a powerful and corrupt elder but did
manage to obstruct his immediate plans, allow them to
replenish their Willpower pools.

2) (Storyteller’s Option) Characters regain one Willpower
point each night when they first rise. This is
easy on the bookkeeping, and allows a steady stream
of Willpower replenishment (not to mention the fact
that players are already writing on that part of the
character sheet when they mark off their nightly blood
consumption).

3) (Storyteller’s Option) If a character attains some
extraordinary goal or fulfills an outstanding objective,
the Storyteller may reward her with a point of Willpower.
For example, if a character manages to deter
a team of vampire-hunters from her sire’s haven, the
Storyteller may award a Willpower point to that character.

4) (Storyteller’s Option) If a character behaves in a
manner that fulfills her Nature Archetype, the Storyteller
may reward the character with one to three Willpower
points (as stated in the Archetype descriptions).
For example, if a Rebel character rabidly opposes a
powerful elder, and that elder is later revealed to be
a Sabbat spy, that character may be given a point of
Willpower.

As you see most of the ways are Storyteller's option, and as powerful as Willpower is (i.e. automatic success), I am using Options 1, 3, & 4, which is a long drawn out way to say that it is limited (but not just to fulfilling your Nature) and not regained on a nightly basis.

The way Willpower is handled is one of the few things that I prefer about V5 to the previous editions. Rather than being an automatic success, the expenditure of Willpower allows you to re-roll up to 3 (non-hunger) dice, so it certainly increases one's chance at success, it doesn't guarantee it. That being said, with Willpower not being as powerfull in V5 it is replenished on nightly basis in that version of the game.

Understood, thanks!


Male Clan Gangrel 12th Gen

Pardon, Family is doing a post thanksgiving visit, I maybe a bit slow today and tomorrow.


Locations and NPCs

Enjoy the family time!


Edwin Wagner 12th Generation Tremere | Will 6 | Blood Pool 10/12 |

I think that's my last post of that night I think, sorry Savanna and Matthew for taking so long!


Locations and NPCs

Hi folks, I am going to have to put the game on pause for a month/month and a half, as I have accepted a new position that will require to move from the home I have been in for the last 20 years. Once I'm settled in my new home I will resume the game, provided of course you all are still interested in continuing.


Male Clan Gangrel 12th Gen

Understood! I hope your move and home buying goes as smooth as it possibly can for you and yours.

Good luck Talomyr!

That is quite the long time in one house. I am certainly fine with restarting after the RL pause.


Good luck for your new life.

RL first, of course!


12/13 BP 7/7 WP

Sounds exciting, hope the move goes wonderfully for you!
