[Detoxicated]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone was interested in a VtM game of maybe 3-4 people.

Setting:
New Valencia: A city in South California, with a long beach coastline, and a big port, as well as three rivers crossing the town. The city is torn between the Sabbat and the Camarilla Factions. I will let you play any side you want but would have to insist on having a team of moderately compatable characters.

The game should go down on IIRC or something similar, maybe with a specific client that could calculate rolls.

Any help on that regard would help me immensly.
So is anyone interested?

What's a VTM game?

Vampire the Masquerade... Pen and Paper rpg

[My Name is Immaterial]

After taking a look at the Wikipedia page, I think I'll play, if I can make it. What time/day were you thinking.?

As for IRC/dice rolling, have you heard of Roll20.net?

[Detoxicated]

Hey everyone,
To give some background info, Vampire the Masquerade is a pen and paper rpg set in the modern days. In the shadows of modern society, you find supernatural entities who live to their own standards. The vampires are group of supernaturals which you will play as.

The story will take in New Valencia, as mentioned before, a city in california which I have invented to suit my needs. It is a city torn in a vampire war, and your characters will have to carve their niche to eventually decide the war if they play their cards right.

If you have interest in this, post a well thought out human background story. Think: Who was my character up to the point where he became a vampire. What where his dreams and hopes? What did he do, etc.?

If you have no interest in playing you can still throw some character concepts at me which I might enter into the story as NPCs.

I might be interested. I guess it depends on when the game is. Additionally I've not actually played a real game in old world of darkness, just the new one. So I'm going to be going into the system pretty blind (and will have to find myself the rule book if the time that the game is going to be held works for me.)

Well MNII and I were thinking on weekends. If you happen to live in Europe it would be during the nights I guess.

This is what I have now. Might add more later.

Spoiler: William Lonham (click to show/hide)

William, or Bill, as he prefers, was born in Central California to a pair of hardworking raisin farmers. As a child, he grew tired of the tedium of the area, raisin farming. He rebelled against his parents the moment he knew how, in any way he knew how. Dodging chores, staying out late and eventually drugs. Regardless of this, he still put in some effort at school, not nearly reaching his potential, but not failing either.
Over the years of his childhood, he tried to run away multiple times, but never got far. The last time he tried was when he was fifteen. When a farmhand dragged him in to his parent's house at 3 in the morning, his father took him roughly from the man, and then beat Bill within an inch of his life. He had never as much as laid a finger on Bill before that day. It rightly shook him, and that memory stopped him every time he thought about leaving.
Bill changed his ways, becoming more responsible and actually independent. That doesn't mean he liked his parents anymore, he just got more mature.
One his eighteenth birthday, he bought a backpack, a map, a week of food, and bus ticket to New Valencia. With a $100 in his pocket, he left home to see the world, starting with the California coast. In New Valencia, he found a job on a fishing vessel. He lived in a small apartment for a few years spending most of his free time either surfing, in a drug induced buzz, or hooking up with other young attractive people.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Hmm. Let's go with Malkavian. They sound fun.

Here is my backstory for the moment, if it's ok I would like to join the Toreador clan.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Charlotte was born into a life of privilege, being the only daughter of a wealthy CEO. To the outside world she was rich and had anything any child could have wanted, this probably would have been true if it wasn't for her father. The image he put on for the public was perfect, he was smart, polite and all in all the perfect gentlemen. It was only really his family who knew the truth behind that facade. In truth he was an abusive drunk.

Charlotte dreaded the times when he would come home, he was violent and spent many nights cowering in her room from the arguments that she would always hear. This naturally affected her at school as well, the constant distraction of what waited for her at home made sure she never got truly good grades. She did not have many other friends either, well true friends. There were always people hanging around her after they found out who she was, trying to get close to her. But once discovering her reluctance to bring them home and her refusal to buy them gifts they quickly dispersed. In the end she was left with just a small circle of friends, she never told them the problems at home though. Always wearing a mask of a smile for them.

Over the years though she did find one thing that she was good at, painting. It was a brilliant escape for her and she often spent hours completely engrossed in creating new works of art. It was also a great excuse to find a way out of her house but she always had to be careful in coming home late. Otherwise her father would be waiting for her. She couldn't wait until her eighteenth birthday, when she could finally leave that place and be independent. However Charlotte's father did not want her to leave, when he found out what she was planning he became angrier than she had ever seen him. After that night she knew that if she ever wanted to leave this place, she would have to run away.

So she made a plan to escape, she stole some money from her father after he had collapsed on the floor after a excessive nights drinking. She took her clothes and her sketchbook and left in the dead of night. Charlotte felt guilty for leaving her mother in that place but she couldn't stay there any more. With the money she had stolen she set off for New Valencia hoping that she would find a better life there.
