Just putting a flag up to see if I could get in on any new or existing World of Darkness games. Clarification: Not looking to run, just play. I tend to prefer Vampire Masquerade and Requiem, Mage Ascension, and Changeling Lost.

I'll second this. It would be neat to have a good group White Wolf game... I'm partial to Requiem or Masquerade, though I know a little (very little) about Changeling. Like you, I'm not terribly keen on running the game. I could, however, help to narrate some side-scenes if we had an appropriate ST.

I'd enjoy a WoD game too, though I tend to prefer Mage:The Awakening and Werewolf: The Forsaken from the new WoD.

Here is a game that could possibly be brought back to life. For what ever reason it did not get off the ground. At the time not too much interest I suppose. A game of Vampire the Requiem. 'Nights over Lower Merion Township'.

Here is the link to the ooc thread started for the game.

I am not sure if Rubyslippers would be willing to revive her concept and run it. Thou I be willing to take part in it.

RubySlippers · « **Reply #4 on:** October 15, 2009, 10:40:17 am »

Well we need another ST so I can play and not have issues of favortism pop up, but I'm game to restart if we can get enough players.

I set it in a more rural area where there are colleges including Bryn Mawr and should support a small vampire community. On the plus side there is no leadership per se.

Senti · « **Reply #5 on:** October 15, 2009, 12:18:50 pm »

I run a lot of table top NWod, both changling and werewolf. I have two games that I can suggest. However being rather new i am not sure I should ST...still I have a lot of expirience.

the werewolf game is easier to run online, I think.

So there we go...just offering.

RubySlippers · « **Reply #6 on:** October 15, 2009, 01:13:38 pm »

I don't have any other books but the core book and core vampire book.

I was toying with a Supernatural themed game using the core nWoD rules and ading in some rules for that series. But all will be pretty much new hunters, if anyone is interested.

NightFall · « **Reply #7 on:** October 15, 2009, 01:20:07 pm »

Tossing my hat in here. Definitely interested in a nWoD game, though I'm still new at it. Changeling or V:tR would be awesome.

Raveled · « **Reply #8 on:** October 15, 2009, 02:01:54 pm »

I like nWoD. Werewolf is my ultimate favorite, though I've recently been made a convert to Hunter. Mortal games are nice, because we all know how to play one of those folks. I can play Vampire, though it's hardly my favorite system.

RubySlippers · « **Reply #9 on:** October 15, 2009, 02:13:20 pm »

I would love to point out my game setting doesn't demand you be a vampire, mortals and even other supernaturals are fine. I just don't have rules for the others. The idea was is a haven for those supernaturals with no home per se like vampires that don't want to be bothered with politics. mages that are neutral, werewolves that are rugged individualists etc.

Krysia · « **Reply #10 on:** October 15, 2009, 02:16:05 pm »

I am starting a completely old world of darkness forums. If interested contact me off E. I don't want to take games away from people here.

I am looking for ST's for the site. :)

Ixy · « **Reply #11 on:** October 15, 2009, 10:23:41 pm »

I'm not ruling out any particular venue except mage at this point... if you guys are into it, that's fine, but I'll pass on mage.

As far as Hunter and Werewolf, I haven't even laid eyes on the books for the nWoD versions, but I'm willing to take a look if that's what the bunch of you decide.

While one of the lures of nWoD is the INSANE amount of weird, obscure bloodlines and courts and etc., I think it would be great to have a "normal" group-- whatever venue, if we keep to the core books for ideas and don't elect to have a "Superfiends!" game, it would make the rarer courts, bloodlines, etc. special.

I think Ruby's setting looks cool... too bad we don't have a Storyteller volunteer yet. Senti-- thanks for the mention. It's not easy to run a game here, though it's easier with very few players or with a bunch of independent players who are capable of taking off 'on their own' and running their own story.

Some things to think on, if anybody likes the idea:
1- we could self-narrate until we hit a point of conflict... then, we shoot the "ST" a PM to ask for a judgement call. The ST's input can come in at any time to direct/control plot, though, if somebody's interested in throwing out a story at some point.

2- what kind of power level? I'm thinking medium to low. Higher-level powers mean higher-level cheese.

3- could we consider chosing one 'primary' venue and limit to one non-venue character (werewolf in a requiem venue, for example) for every 2 regulars?

Just some food for thought, ill-organized as it is. Starting to get excited about the idea of playing again, though :)

Raveled · « **Reply #12 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:29:41 am »

I would actually be very interested in playing a werewolf in a vamp game; the muscle of the group, so to speak, not to mention a walking blood bank.

Unless you danced the spiral. No garou would ever be a blood bank for the leeches. Even then it be like putting two rabid dogs into a room and expecting them to share the bone.

Senti · « **Reply #14 on:** October 16, 2009, 01:03:26 am »

I must admit I am not overly keen on vampire either N or 0 WoD.

I tend to find werewolf works for a group as they are pack animals. Even more so in NWoD.

Elven Sex Goddess · « **Reply #15 on:** October 16, 2009, 01:27:24 am »

The original poster asked about Vampire, Mage and Changling.

I be up for any of those. Thou if had a preference, changling be fun.

Senti · « **Reply #16 on:** October 16, 2009, 01:52:09 am »

Well I have played all of them and run them all before now. In NWoD its eaier to run a mixed game I find.

(It never hurts to try to slip werewolf in there.)

Kayn · « **Reply #17 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:41:34 am »

Ah, good old WoD. I have always loved Vamp and Changeling, Mage is always fun, but more then one in a story and things get...silly. I would love to get involved in any White Wolfing... or Werewolfing.

That's assuming oWoD, which I do not play. nWoD, any number of reasons for a Ghost Wolf to work for vamps.

Kayn · « **Reply #19 on:** October 16, 2009, 02:18:49 pm »

Including good old fashioned "Been turned into a slave by Vampire magick."

Yeah, is there any wonder why i like WoD so much?...

I would note in nWoD werwolves don't automatically hate vampires, most take them on a case by case basis. Hell most are good neighbors compared to some other options like demon spirits. I think we can do my setting with vampires, werewolves or whatever. I will ST any mortals and vampires other than myself. I don't have the other rulebooks for the other supernaturals.

Served Cold · « **Reply #21 on:** October 17, 2009, 10:00:53 am »

Wow! I have some personal stuff come up, and when I come back, the thread positively EXPLODES with eagerness. Joy oh joy!

OK, I did request Vampire, Mage, or Changeling, but it seems that a lot of people are interested in either old or new Werewolves. Sorry fellas, but that's just not my cup of tea.

If Rubyslippers can be convinced to run with a co-ST, it seems like we have a taker and a stable of players to choose from. I hadn't thought about a human game, so that could work, but I've never been a fan of hunters, either with a small or large "h."

That being said, where do things stand?

Raveled · « **Reply #22 on:** October 17, 2009, 11:39:27 am »

I like WoD, but I don't like vamps. Get back to me if you're willing to have a wolf.

Voichin · « **Reply #23 on:** October 17, 2009, 01:12:58 pm »

OK, ladies and gentlemen. It will be my first game as a GM here, but certainly not in my career.

I'm quite willing to start Werewolf:The Forsaken game, set somewhere in South Eastern Europe. The place is good for several reasons:

-Lots of rural areas with dwindling or scarce population.
-Diverse geography. You can climb down from almost 3000 meters to the seashore and then go 1600m up an island in less than 24 hours.
-Abundance of recent military conflicts, remnants from the old regimes, active organized crime...
-Rich historical past. And I don't mean the Ancient Greek only.
- Last but not least, I know the region well, so descriptions will be accurate.

Raveled · « **Reply #24 on:** October 17, 2009, 02:14:00 pm »

Europe? What's a europe?
