Quite impressive, Shadow. A tad over 13 years and just shy of 15,000 in game posts, over 4,100 discusion thread posts, and gods only know how many PMs later, the first chronicle is complete. Bravo good sir.

Bravo to YOU, for being 1 of 2 original PCs still IN the game! :-)
Michele is the other, but he and I have been gaming together since 1996!
Awesome guys! Storytelling and Roleplaying, top notch! Endurance... wow!
Happy to have found the game, the ST, the group and contributed to some part of it.
Oh you are ALL great players and I agree top notch role playing throughout the last 13 years!
For next chronicle/campaign...
Although I know it's not a popular thing in many games (or perhaps with many players), would love to see opportunities to gain/increase humanity.
I typically build my characters as the "un-cola" and have them try to make the best of their situation or use their powers for Good. It's just what I enjoy, no judgement towards those who give into the night life as it were.
Also, with the ability to gain/increase humanity... it opens a path for redemption and being able to afford to lose humanity (diablerie).
An opportunity for private or hidden diablerie would be great! The merit means it doesn't show/register... but committing the act in front of others means there are witnesses. That could be a bonding experience but with no one trusting anyone, it is just exposure and leverage.
Those two mechanisms/opportunities would allow for a (my) character to gain power (generation)... just asking for the consideration if it can be woven in. Not to change story or plot.

Your character has 7 Humanity and you can buy the 8th dot if you wish. You absolutely have RP'd well enough for that. Though Humanity loss has to be bought back with XP so it's why most players don't do it.
Hard to build hidden diablerie in. You could have taken a shot at Kestral and passed. A shot at Marco and just passed. Between you and Ranerius, it makes more sense for him to take Dunstan as he goes to 5, you would only go to 6. We will see what unfolds in the next chronicle!
FYI, this next chronicle will be short, 1 to 2 years.
I am only doing it as you all requested to play these characters as bit longer...

Oh, I must have missed that... thought we were starting over and Alessandro was done.
Up to you ST, just expressing aspects of the game I'd like to explore. No demands.

Nope, same PCs for a short chronicle still in Venice.

I missed that too. I was all ready for the next gen
From what Alessandro knows, can Lorenzo heal/mend/regenerate the living of serious wounds?
And, could his captain be healed?

You're not sure. I don't recall if he ever displayed the power. Andrew might as a Salubri.
And, could his captain be healed?
His injuries are psychological in nature, but it's worth investigating!
Lorenzo is not currently capable of using Valeren to heal a mortal, but after we were awarded 20 XP (leaving Lorenzo with 22 in total to spend), I intended to increase his Valeren to 3 which would allow him to do so, if so only he can have some semblance of his former life again. (14 XP)
Also if allowed, I would like Lorenzo to study any texts left in the mausoleum to buy the first dot in the Path of the Corpse in the Monster. (7 XP).

OK and that is something we will discuss "in game" next chronicle!
When I restart the game, the PCs will begin in Lord Bion's lair having just arrived on the SAME night the previous chronicle ended on.
After that, the next night the PCs can go their separate ways the night after and I will probably have a short, week tops, downtime period to catch your breath (so to say as none of you need to breathe any longer).
Then the chronicle will come into focus. It was already foreshadowed heavily in the prior thread, the focus will be on (1) establishing your places here in the city and (2) figuring out who will be the next Prince of Venice. As the NEXT set of Childer will begin play as Humans who will be Embraced on the European continent, the Prince of Venice won't have much impact from the start, but it may matter if the PCs decide to journey TO Venice at some point later on.
Another note, might have a few new Players join our ranks in this new short chronicle. One here from the boards, the other, returning to the game after a decade or so hiatus (the player who played Gunther, though obviously he won't be playing Gunther this time around as Geoffroi at him 4 minutes ago...).

The Valeren 3 or the Path of the Corpse in the Monster or both?
I assume we are still on a moratorium on XP expenditures?

I lifted the moratorium on spending XP once the chronicle ended.
You may buy the 3 Valern.
It's the Path of the Corpse in the Monster that requires discussion.
Got it. Valeren 3 purchased.
Lesson learned regarding natural 4's.
12 XP for Strength 3 >> 4

Yeah, those 10s counting twice can sometimes really make the difference. Plus the higher the stat, the less blood needed to be more effective in combat.
I think I may end up buying level 1 in fortitude for Ranerius. I need to double check the cost on that.

10 XP. has anyone taught it to you yet. Not that it would be hard, plenty of candidates in the coterie to do so!
I really think i need someone to teach me celerity. that extra attack per round would of been nice!
At the beginning of the next night you can all wake up and swap Disciplines in game. Plus you will probably need to decide what to do next!

Definitely happy to help with that.
And no I don't have a teacher for fortitude unless maybe one of the ghouls my Toreador got it can teach it or another PC wants to assist who possesses it.
Andrew has Fortitude and would teach it.
As does Lorenzo.
Alessandro has some.
Well I'll take it from whoever I can and thank you
Link to the new thread is up folks.
As noted, we begin the opening scene in the lair of Lord Bion.
Geoffroi has a bit of Fort too

Howdy.
