Tales from a World of Darkness

While I'm usually not the biggest fan of game-systems, I do have a very soft spot for World of Darkness, both as a setting and as a (thankfully very math-light) system. And after falling down another rabbithole or two, I have developed a bit of a craving for something WoD-related.
Which is why I'm looking for someone willing to play the role of the Storyteller for a 1-on-1 chronicle (although I'd be more than happy to play a small cast of hapless victims characters), including an equal amount of plot, drama, angst and smut.
In rough order of preference (and familiarity), I'd be interested in Mage: The Ascension(M20), Vampire: The Masquerade (preferably V5) or (maybe) Werewolf: The Apocalypse.

What I Offer:

  • I'd consider myself a pansexual switch writer
  • I aim for a reply-length of about 500+ words
  • Life can get chaotic and muses are fickle creatures, so my reply frequency can be a bit erratic, though I do aim for a reply per week at least
    (And am working on my communication-skills, to let partners know of any longer delays)
  • A reasonable familiarity with the setting(s) and system and a willingness to dig deeper
  • A willingness to play an active role in plotting, world-building
    (And a personal interest in horror, folklore, urban legends and obscure religious or magical beliefs to help with that)
  • Way, waaaay too many character ideas...
  • For a lengthier rambling about me, my kinks and my writing, feel free to check here.

What I Expect:
  • Obviously, someone familiar with WoD and willing to take on the role of the storyteller
  • Someone who brings some enthusiasm and patience
  • Some patience, due to my pretty limited practical experience with the system
  • Someone whose kinks somewhat align with my own (If my characters can't seduce vampires, werewolves and horrors-from-beyond, what's even the point?)
  • And most importantly: Fun. That's the whole reason, after all!



Mage: The Ascension:
As dense as the setting is (and as much of a mess the core rulebook is), I'd consider myself pretty familiar with the setting, although I've never gotten around to actually play in it. But I hope my fascination with the setting and the magic system makes up for any lack of experience!
In any case, playing a small gaggle of freshly-awakened mages might be a good way to ease into the setting!
As a huge fan of period-pieces, I'd be more than happy to play either in a modern or victorian setting.
(Here some potential faceclaims for both modern and victorian mages)


On a slightly edgy note, I'd been thinking about a story about a group of young mages falling to the dark side...Either as a villain-origin-story or a cautionary tale a la "If you dance with the devil, the devil doesn't change".

Vampire: The Masquerade:
While I'm slightly more interested in Mage, I'd also be open for something vampirric. I'm slightly more familiar with that system (at least V5), since I did actually play it. While I'm mostly familiar with the lore and system of 5th Edition, I'd be tentatively open to work my way through V20.

If any of that does sound appealing, feel free to drop me a message!
