We had our first World of Darkness game, as humans who got (spoiler alert) vampired! I mean embraced.
Sorry, kinda giddy. I was really worried but it was a lot of fun. I and one of the other players did a great job rapidly finding the rules in the PDFs, while our GM wove a great little story for each of our characters in sequence.
One character was a bouncer at a bar. She tried to bounce a gangrel, and actually did some damage. now she is teh gangrel
The other character was a conwoman. She "returned" a TV from the Good Will to Best Buy then hung out at a hotel bar. A Malkavian seemed like an easy mark. Now she is the Malkavian...
Except OH wow it went screwy. Her sire wandered off right before dawn, leaving her in the room alone. His brother told her to "oh shit, uh just hold still for a second I'll be right back". So she left (because these people were crazy and she was starving). Absolutely *massacred* someone in the elevator. Almost died when it opened up to the lobby. Went to the top floor and waited. Eventually the sheriff came to clean up the masquerade and-
She *shot* the sheriff right in the chest. She got staked. Woke up and finally had everything explained to her. Tres Malky.
My character was basically a shadowrunner for a hacker group. Not so great with computers but super sneaky. He was hired to go in and hack some servers, really just doing it for the challenge.
Here's where it gets weird. He went to the security room to deactivate the cameras. Started rolling awful. Half-sees his future sire (aka "Senpai") mindwiping a guard and looping the cameras. Tries to hide but is muttering out loud, senpai mindwipes him and moves on. After which he shoots the guard with what turned out to be a full ounce of LSD, and gets really confused that the cameras are already looping. Disappointing first impression, Senpai noticed but ignored him ):
Then he goes down to the servers and suddenly I'm rolling aces. Sees through senpai's invisibility, assumes senpai is a LSD hallucination (my character didn't *remember* doing any, but has a huge memory gap and is seeing weird shit). Senpai is hacking servers, my character sneaks past and hacks several other servers first. Manages to stay hidden until Senpai leaves the room.
Then senpai returns, apparently realizing something was up. Catches me, but is impressed that he didn't notice me (: Frankly assumes I'm a vampire, or someone's "ghoul". "Er, I'm a guy" "...Right." Leaves me in peace, still thinking I'm working for another vampire. I escape without difficulty, mission complete.
... Later he realizes his mistake, or part of it was just a test. The next morning something he left on the computers jumped onto my flash drive then onto my computers, rooting them. I try to ask my friends for help and only get a message from bite2nite "WE KNOW". Try to kill my drives and buy an airplane ticket, but my card is apparently flagged as "detain and question".
I flee to a hotel and use the public computer to desperately email one of my contacts. Reply: "TICK TOCK". Night's falling. I decide I'm stuck in an LSD trip this whole time, and hide in a bathroom stall.
I hear him coming, but don't see him. It only hurt for a moment...
Wake up later in a hotel room. Cold, sore, so hungry. He's typing away on a laptop. Glances up, tosses me a blood pack. I don't even question it.
Later: "So... You're dead!" *session ends*
