Hi all, thanks for the opportunity to play this game!
Running behind on a number of things today, but here are 3 of the selections. One more will be chosen later today or tomorrow.
Gangrel - Ollivor Myles (Ridge)
Malkavian - Dr. Matthew Baker (Silver Priest)
Malkavian - Savanna Douglas (Escharid Blackrose)
Well, thank you!
Very happy to join. I've read the thread and this looks like a fun group, very excited to game with you all.
Welcome! Excited to play with you all.
I wish good game to everyone who's been invited!
As we are at the end of a night for our two-remaining original characters, I'm going to pause them for a bit while I get our new folks started up.
Dr. Baker, your first post is up. Ollivor is up next.
As a quick question, should I be using spoilers as well when responding?
For the sake of keeping things that are in the "past" separate, for now, yes please.
Ollivor's first post is up. Next up is Savanna, but that will have to wait until tomorrow as the alarm clock goes off way too early for me to stay up any later tonight.
No problem for me!
Final selection made:
Ventrue - Joey Hart (Rosc)
A few details to be wrapped up this one, but once that is a done, I'll get a post up for Joey.
Savanna's first post is up.
Hello! Thanks for the selection, Talomyr.
Happy to be here! Thngs are slightly hectic tonight so for now I'll just copy over my submission's stats onto my profile and fix it up when I post.
Quick question. In terms of spending EXP, a "New Discipline" costs a flat 10 EXP. Does learning the first dot of a clan discipline count as a "New Discipline" or is it only for out of clan stuff?
Sorry folks. Today has been a day and half. Will post tomorrow.

Unfortunately, the first dot of a discipline, clan or otherwise, is 10XP
Ollie, I sent you a PM with stats for Buttons.
Thanks. Sorry, this sickness is NOT fading so forgive if I'm a bit slow to respond
Happy father's day to any of the dads in here :)

Thanks Calliope!
Thanks for the father's day wishes, Calliope.
Edwin & Calliope - I should have you guys back into the game in another day or two. Please make sure your profiles are updated by then.

Edwin is ready to go
I will get it done today. I started a graduate course that's very intense and yesterday felt soul-sucking!
Updated except for blood pool. What does 2 hunger equate to? And what would my max end up being? Answers in the handbook were hard to follow
13th generation means a total bloodpool of 10. Let's say that you are currently at 8/10.
I kind of love that Calliope didn't pick up that Ollie is also Kindred.
Heh. Yeah.SO much could go wrong
Okay. I got the final edit in :)
as far as I remember the rules, a 10 is an automatic success, and a 1 an automatic failure, right? And an automatic failure cancel a success, so rolling two 1 cancel my 9 and add an critical failure.
If I remember well, we can use Willpower to have a success, but can we use it to cancel an automatic failure?
Correct for most of that. As long as you had at least one success prior to canceling out successes with 1s, it is not a botch. A botch only occurs with no successes on the dice plus at least one of those dice being a 1.
Willpower can provide an automatic success that a 1 can't take away, but the Willpower must be spent prior to making the roll, not retroactively.
About Hunting: we're all supposed (even me) to maintain the Masquerade toward humans.
What would be my possible options here?
Lie to my victim about what happened?
Killing it outright?
Kidnap it ?(probably to feed on it on the next few nights?)
Could I just stun it and leave it on the streets?
Maintaining the Masquerade is pretty much job #1 in any Camarilla city.
How to hide feeding?
The "Kiss" is helpful. It makes the bite pleasurable for the victim (unless the Vamp in question is a Giovanni), so that lends to being able to lie your way out of it, as long as you lick the wound closed at the end of feeding.
Other vampires make use of their disciplines (Dominate 3 - Forgetful Mind) to hide their activities. In your case in particular, Savanna, you could use level 1 power of Dementation to heighten the emotions and feelings caused by the Kiss.
Killing a victim is always an option, but that would likely result in a number of complications. 1 - Conscience roll to avoid the loss of Humanity (unless your Humanity is already very low). 2 - What to do with the exsanguinated body. In modern nights that can be very complicated, given the state of forensics that could lead to questions from the mortals you really don't want asked.
Any of what you have suggested above are viable options, but each has their own benefits and detriments and can lead to interesting stories to tell.
Will try Dementation, Savanna seems in the mood for some chaos.
Will post tonight after work (early morning here in France for me)
Busy weekend. Might be a couple days before I get around to making a post. Sorry folks.

Hey it happens. Wishing you the best!

I got no right to cast stones there. RL first
Echoing the sentiments, take your time!
I'll echo the others. I always appreciate that you actually let us know. :)
Take your time.
We're all immortal vampires here. ^^
Heads up to you fine folks - if we get back to scenes with Calliope present this week/next week, I may only be able to post once a day or so. I'm in my last week of an intense grad school class and like any typical student, I have procrastinated on some longer things to the point where panic is setting in and I have to actually get some things finished. After that, though, I'm freeeeeeeeee until work starts back up in September (teacher).
Okay, while I don't have all of you in the same place, I am making my way there. That being said, I am resuming posting for for ALL player now. Edwin, Calliope, thank you for your patience.
See, I say I'm probably going to be delayed, but I needed a brain break...Back to agonizing over revising writing I've been doing for class.
I'm getting a tooth pulled on Wednesday -- I may be out of touch until the weekend. I'm a huge baby about dental pain.

As we all should be!
You're being defanged? Ouch :)
Seriously, hope it goes as smoothly as possible
Shadow, under Ollie and Joey in ST's last post, there's a bit for Edwin that it looks like ST misformatted. :) Good ol' BBS coding.
