Sweet. Also, fixed ;D

(Been wanting to give Ventrue a try, plus it gives me some interesting backstory options :D)

Ha, looks like Tristan and Morgan have the wild clubbing scene in common too. Are Morgan and Kae the devil and angel on Tristan's shoulders? o:

I'm now imagining passionate debates between Tristan and Kae, and then her being wide-eyed and utterly out of her element when the two men drag her out to party with them.

I missed Rummy’s post about clubbing! Heck yeah!

Right now I am posting to announce I am accepting no new interest.

For folks who have submitted character sheets: I will be selecting my player roster later today (likely in a few hours) after taking time to carefully consider party makeup, my noted priorities in the 1st post (new to E, new to the system), and general writer compatibility!

Hi again, folks. I have made my player selections. If you received a PM from me with links to the OOC, then you're one of my players.

I also know I missed some posts from interested parties in here; my absolute apologies. Character reviews got the better of me and I derped on a few posts.

If I should happen to have a player drop and you are interested in being contacted as a reserve/alternate, please post here to let me know. (You can express that interest even if you did not get a chance to submit a sheet, though those who submitted sheets would have priority) With that in mind, I do want to answer one of the queries I missed earlier because it is pertinent for the game!

Hi, is there still room for more?

Also, I have a couple of questions.

Keep in mind, I've only played in a couple of VtM games, only one of which was v5.

1. VtM games can be pretty heavy on PvP, with PCs competing and sometimes fighting each other. Moreover, the secrets and mysterious nature and origins of every kindred play a potent part in the game, some player protect the element of surprise with zeal. However, I see that people have included their full statistics here, does that mean that the narrative of the game would steer the PCs away from PvPing?

2. Provided access to Chicago by Night, would you consider allowing a Lasombra?

3. Are you restricting the source material specifically to VTM or can we use aspects and concepts from other World of Darkness books? For instance, if I had an idea for a kindred with a background that required some umbral shenanigans, would that be allowed?

You got in just a tad too late, my apologies. In part it was due to my own oversight. But these are good questions in the advent someone wants to make reserve/alternate characters if I have a player drop, so I still want to answer them.

1. Many of those interested are new to V5, so PvP early on would not be in the game's best interests. It's not entirely disallowed, but I'd likely be talking to players first to suss out their feelings on it before introducing it.
2. I do intend to buy Chicago by Night when it's formally released, but to get it now, I'd need to purchase from Backerkit, which I'd rather not do.
3. For now, statistics are limited to things specifically from V5 for players. I simply have too many players who are brand-new to V5 to want introduce too much from prior editions--the fact the adventure itself is adapted from a prior edition was about as far as I'm willing to go at the moment, particularly given that I'm not yet at my most comfortable running this edition.

Ditto!  Bly really is a lovely ST and I'm glad newer players are getting a chance to enjoy the game.
