Sorry folks, sick again. I'll post when I can actually concentrate on anything.
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! :-)-

Sorry for the delays (again). Busy as all get out at the moment...
That's the problem with being sick, the real life crap piles up on you as no one else is doing it! :-(

A little tired and drained tonight, although I should be able to update the game tomorrow during the day.
| ST Talomyr |
After today, I will be out of the country for the next two weeks and will have limited access to the site.
| Storyteller Shadow |
Sorry for the continued absence, I should be back on track to post as a PC by tomorrow morning.

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.
| Storyteller Shadow |
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.

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! :-)

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

In the V20 Book, here's what they have to say about 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.

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.

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