Definitely some work to do...like font colors. NPC will be getting an over haul as well and possible additional options for character creation. So, things could change over the next few days.
Temporarily moved this so people looking but not yet making accounts can see the updates as well.
There are some glitches is need to fix
I am going to update some things, just need to sit down and see what needs done and what can be added.
NPC list is getting a definite overhaul
there are about three or four people not yet registered that have expressed interest in joining and playing this style of game.
And while this is getting up and going, for those that like this easy style of play there is another game going that uses the 20th anniversary rules with elements of the 5E plot for vampires as well already in play.
a quick message here. Depending on what happens with storm in the area this AM may be delays this evening in doing things if we have to clean up after we get home from work.
Also, because of where I work, a lot of editing options are not useable. My work has a lot of strict program in place now that tend to hamper things. All because someone clciked a link 3 plus years ago and the whole hospital got hacked. ( Wasn't me.)
Old players. If are returning please say so in your forum or PM me if you do not have one. Old accounts will be deleted at the end of this month.
As I figure out some coding glitches, when using the quick reply the letters are a light grey and hard to read, just use the full reply option til I figure out what info got moved where or went MIA.
New payers, keep character creation to the 20th anniversary. Some things from the revised and older books are acceptable, like merits and flaws. Reach out if you have a question. Nothing from the Dark ages, Victorian etc books.
Also, for those with accounts, start using the PM system here, it is easier to keep track of conversations and I don't have to be on multiple formats trying to keep up.
So, new players making accounts. Things to remember when making your characters.
Allies and Contact: Make sure they are well thought out. While Contacts should not be local, allies should. You are a elder moving into a new city, what allies have you sent out ahead to put into place? Details on the allies will be needed as well as on contacts
When you are doing the background: What is your motivation to make this move? What drew you to Chicago. What preparations did you make prior to moving. Do you have a Haven, where is it at? What sort of protections does it have? Are you going to reach out to current NPCs prior to arriving?
This list of things will most likely get updated as I think of things.
I am going to go over the blood lines (hopefully) this weekend. When I do I will list what version is being used, and how many will be allowed in play at any time. Which basically means if you wanted to play a Kyasid, and there was already one in play and that was the board limit you would not have that option til that player either left the game or the character dies. This of course does not count NPC blood lines that could be in play.
Made will power caps for Mortal/ghouls, Neonate, Ancilla and Elders. Neonates will now get 35 xp to start game play with on top of regular 15 freebies.
Available clans:
removed one independent clan, Followers of Set. They aren't going to work well in this chronicle as they will be antagonist. Small update on bloodlines regarding the Kyasid. and an additional blurb on Ventrue and Dignitas
Tweaks to available blood lines and clan variations.
Additional info put up about Disciplines, abilities etc from books like Dark ages and so forth in the character creation thread.
Would like to start soft Rp this weekend. I can have 'social' event at Elysium if players wish so they can meet and mingle let me know in your Personal forums.
Going to push the actual Elysium thread to next weekend, let people get some last minute stuff figured up. In the mean time is anyone who is already ready and wants to jump in let me know and we can work out something.
Added more NPC's though some are missing info, mostly wanted folks to have an idea of who had remained behind after Court. Once a few details are ironed out with a couple PC's I will put up what was exactly covered in this night meeting in a separate thread.
People still finishing up their characters can join in once they have been approved for play.
