Bump. I'm serious about this, I'd really like to run a campaign like this. If voice chat is too scary, I guess it could be reduced to text chat, but I'd still prefer real-time.

That's best decided after I know who's playing, not before. Probably on the weekend, though.

I like the setting, especially since hopeful bits are my favorite bits in the World of Darkness line, just not keen on the real time bit.

A would-be player has got so enthusiastic about this that they have already started creating a character. This will definitely be a thing, even if there will only be a couple players.

I could possibly do text chat....

I'm not sure I could do, like, Roll20, however, because it hates mobile users.  Maybe, though, depends on some stuff I don't know yet and when the game actually starts.

What sort of campaign are you looking for in this case? We going into the Cambodian jungle to kill Princess Kurtz, exploring the seedy underbelly of downtown Cleveland as intrepid hookers with hearts of gold, trying to get by in Marisu Raven Way's School for the Disgustingly Gifted, riding into space battle in shining armor to avert the dark prophecy of Anstruther, reclaiming the fabled Sword of Bipartisanship to become the champions that America needs, but not the ones it deserves, Blossoming during a journalistic trip to Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race or what?

I haven't started writing the campaign yet, which makes the whole already-creating-characters part slightly baffling. I have some basic ideas, like having the characters be in the early-twenties age fork and being set in a small town near a big city in England. I also have a few shadows of villains lurking around and a few sparks of intrigue for plots, but that's about it. This thread was meant to be an interest check to keep me from writing a campaign nobody would ever play.

If you want a headstart, read the Pre-GMC edition of the rulebook, as I don't have God-Machine Chronicles. I'll gladly walk y'all through the Core parts of character creation, once I get my things in order.

I could probably do text chat. Definitely not voice chat, but text chat isn't impossible.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

Aw, pre-GMC? I read the first two chapters of the newest one, and while it doesn't really have the sheer style of Genius and it's quite uniquely horrible in its chapter divisions, it seems kind of all right thus far.

Well, that and I kind of like the beats and getting mad XP for inviting horrible disaster part of the rules change. Besides, isn't there a free pamphlet floating around describing the differences of GMC vs. regular NWoD?

I haven't really read it, but that's the one I was thinking of. Maybe now that I've actually played a WoD game I might be able to make heads and/or tails of it.
