Welcome to the Hellmouth (Supernatural Sandbox Recruitment)

[Esoterica]

Welcome to the Hellmouth is a supernatural sandbox game. In this game, Buffy and the forces of good have tried to move on with their lives, after the closing of the first Hellmouth in Sunnydale. Buffy however is about to find that evil never sleeps as another Hellmouth has opened up in San Francisco. The forces of good must come together once again to protect the world from the forces of evil, lest the world be lost to darkness eternal.

As the forces of evil started trickling into San Francisco, Buffy started teaming up with others, like the Halliwell sisters, and the Winchester brothers in a bid to save humanity from the chaos that was starting to ensue.

Humanity has never been in a more dire state. Will you stand with Buffy against the forces of darkness, or will you scheme to bring on the next Apocalypse? The stage has been set, the curtain drawn. Welcome to the Hellmouth.


We are rebooting our supernatural sandbox game. We are more plot centered than smut centered, although smut can be present it is not the focus, and we have one main group thread it is not permitted in at all. We either fade to black or take it to one of our side threads created for the purpose of the exploration of steamier topics.

We are LGBT friendly, have some characters that have been in LGBT parirings, both F/F and M/M, so we are open to diverse pairings and slight deviations from canon, but we want to try and keep things somewhat believable.

We are open to characters from any supernatural show as long is it is not teenager based. I am aware that Buffy took place in High School, but in the last seasons she was in college and that is the time period we are focusing on in the game.

You can also create original characters for us in this game, your characters do not have to be canons.

If you are interested reply below, or submit a character sheet for approval.

Hmm I am possibly interested. Would things from the Dresden Files be okay. For example a focused practitioner they are characters that have a very narrow a specialized ability when it comes to magic. I also possibly thinking of being involved with the paranet which is a collection of  people  on a very secret internet presence that connects clued in mortals, focused practitioner's, shapeshifters and a variety of minor talents that shares information and works towards mutual defense of the people that don't have constant protection from the White council of wizards. Though in very serious situations it has been a avenue to  possibly get Warden assistance but that gets harder to get as things progress in the Dresden verse as the Wardens are spread incredibly thin.

The Dresden Files should be fine. I'm less familiar with it than other fandoms, but I can always do basic research for it.

[Esoterica]

I have made an executive decision to more seamlessly integrate different shows and lore. We are going with a basic World of Darkness lore.

The reason I am thinking this would work is that first of all there are hints of Sabbat in the show if you consider vampires being buried alive. Shovelheads exist in VTM. Also there are hints of other clans in this show. Dru is like a Malkavian, Angel would be like a Toreador, Spike a Brujah, the Master a Nosferatu Kakistos a Baali and so on.

Now the souless thing in Buffy can be applied to the game in the sense of whether a vampire is good or evil basically like in VTM that would amount to Sabbat and Camarilla respectively. You would not need to know all the details to integrate into this game, just a basic understanding that some vampires kill indiscriminately and do whatever they please, and some are good like Angel and Spike.

We are also banning Twilight and the Teen Wolf show as we do not think that these shows will work with our vision of things.

[Marie Reynolds]

Cool that you are open to stuff from the Dresden files. Well using VTM could work. As far as Vampires from Dresden Red  Court vampires would easily be the Sabbat clans the only major difference of Red Courts Vampires is  all there bites Have a Narcotic Quality to them.  Also the are very much so the most Violent of the Vampires. The Black court Vampires are the smallest in number and  would mostly be Capdocians. Though I could see some being Giovanni not so much the mafioso side of things but the Black court also tend to be Necromancers.  The Black court also look more corpse like and have a harder time blending in society. The White court are not like typical Vampires  since they feed of emotions and don't need blood.  I would say the closest they could be would be Kuejin thought not as powerful as they can be however. No crazy chi based disciplines just  enhanced speed, resilience and strength. though all the Vampires have those qualities.

Also the Red Court have humans that are essentially infected by a bite  but don't become full vampires till the feed on there first victim. So they can get some powers but are basically enhanced humans. White court are born human and don't become actually vampires till the feed on the emotions of there first victim.

A lot of the  knowledge on black courts is  not to known cause they  are mostly plot devices and are not playable in the Dresden Files RPG. Just providing this info incase it is helpful for including Dresden Files style vampires into the mix if you wish to use some of that lore.   So the most common Vamps you would see from Dresden are The Red Court and the White Court Vamps. The White Court would also be the closest thing you could get to a Camarilla member cause the are the best at integrating into human society.

I'm interested! Although I'm not too familiar with the Buffy series, I'll need to do some research.

We don't have to have everything 100 percent. Its just the most general framework. It could be like a flaw that all members of the court got for some reason maybe even they do not know


Also the are very much so the most Violent of the Vampires. The Black court Vampires are the smallest in number and  would mostly be Capdocians. Though I could see some being Giovanni not so much the mafioso side of things but the Black court also tend to be Necromancers. 

Yes from what bit I recall those clans would be the ones that most line up with the Black Courts.

The Black court also look more corpse like and have a harder time blending in society. The White court are not like typical Vampires  since they feed of emotions and don't need blood.  I would say the closest they could be would be Kuejin thought not as powerful as they can be however. No crazy chi based disciplines just  enhanced speed, resilience and strength. though all the Vampires have those qualities.

Maybe we could consider them an offshoot of Kuejin. Kind of like how clans like Giovanni have offshoots like Samedi. Almost like Kuejin Caitiff in that they are weaker.

Also the Red Court have humans that are essentially infected by a bite  but don't become full vampires till the feed on there first victim. So they can get some powers but are basically enhanced humans.

As I said, I would look at it as a general framework. WE can explain deviations with Bloodlines and flaws.

White court are born human and don't become actually vampires till the feed on the emotions of there first victim.


There were Psions in World of Darkness too. Essentially that is what White Court would be.

A lot of the  knowledge on black courts is  not to known cause they  are mostly plot devices and are not playable in the Dresden Files RPG. Just providing this info incase it is helpful for including Dresden Files style vampires into the mix if you wish to use some of that lore.  So the most common Vamps you would see from Dresden are The Red Court and the White Court Vamps.

This should help some.

[Esoterica]

Anyway do feel free to ask any questions you have, and that goes for anyone who sees this posting and is interested.

[Marie Reynolds]

Sounds good if you need any help with anything form the Dresden Files let me know I would be more than willing to help. Also if it helps you I can in a pm give you the Templates from the Dresden Files game for Red Court and White Court Vampires.

Also Don't worry  the type of character I am bringing won't  need a lot of knowledge into the Dresden files lore to work into the game.

The templates from the Dresedan game would actually help I think. I'm sure I'll be dumbing this down a bit but keeping the general framework. You can go ahead and pm me them

[Marie Reynolds]

Okay Pm sent with the information. I can go dig up the information for the other White court houses and what emotions the feed off when  your are done working your way through the base information. I hope I caught all the typos. The Copy and past from the source material sometimes leaves out letters and such.

[Thesunmaid]

smiles I love me some dresdan. 

[Marie Reynolds]

Yay more Dresden fans!

[Esoterica]

What little I saw of it it was a good show

[Marie Reynolds]

Yep the show was pretty good.

[Esoterica]

So I am definitely going to dumb things down quite a bit as I adopt the system from WOD. Mainly factions and clans. Im not really doing stats or overly complex character sheets. I figure something like:

Spike: Brujah
Angel: Toreador
Dru: Malkavian
Kakistos: Baali
The Master: Nosferatu

Even if I need to explain it as clans being something someone can join and not just something someone can be born into because some of these characters are related in blood.

Basic physical attributes: Faster, stronger, heartier, able to feed off blood, and heal, and a stake through the heart kills them.

[Marie Reynolds]

Sounds good to me and all of those are spot on.

[Esoterica]

I am going to limit canons to two canons per person to start. (Except for the sunmaid who is a GM too) Because from experience too many canons is hard for to maintain. I'd prefer they were not from the same show but they can be from the same show.

Otherwise, you can have multiple characters and originals are allowed.

I was playing Dean from Supernatural, Ruby and Willow and picked up Buffy towards the end.

Anyway ladies and everyone else if you would like to tell me what you want to play in the game I would appreciate that as it will help with my plotting.

[Marie Reynolds]

So before I answer that question Estorerica, I just want to make sure you are still allowing  stuff from the Harry Dresden show?

[Esoterica]

Yes Marie, I am allowing stuff from the Dresden show.

[Marie Reynolds]

Well I am  going away from the  focused spellcaster idea.  I went away form the spell caster cause well  Dresden files magic for human spell casters adds alot of headaches that would just clash with the other series in the game and I just did not want to deal with that. Just toying around with some ideas.

One is an Emissary of Kris Kringle the winter King of the fae in Dresden. That gets powers from wearing a Santa's coat  and works to maintain the  belief in Kris Kringle. Would also be an ally to the Paranet.


Or a Paraneter with some minor supernatural talents at being Stealthy and having Psychometry.

Both characters would have some occult knowledge, being a techie, crafts person and a investigator type.  I don't have much more detail on who they are and hobbies and such yet but that is the main basic plotting of my ideas so far. The first idea would depend if you want to involve the Fae in  this game at all.

With Buffy's slight cheese factor I think that could work pretty well.

The other idea is also a pretty interesting one. I like it.

[Marie Reynolds]

Cool, I will let you know what final decision I make as soon as I can make up my mind.

All right that is fine. I will be giving it a moment before the restart anyway so you have time.
