A few tidbits from your ST

-Roleplay. Try to think like a vampire, you have a long time to get what you want, don't rush into things.
-PK'ing has it's costs. If you get bloodhunted your PC is immediately my NPC. This is in the rules book.
-Stop bringing OOC (Out Of Character) drama into IC (In Character). Just... stop.. it.
-Learn the societal rules of Vampire. It is a game of politics, not a hack-and-slash dungeon.
-You get nothing beyond Status for holding a position. Most of my characters over the years never held positions but all wielded a great deal of power in the Domain. It is very rare for Neonates to hold positions, this is the nature of the Camarilla. Be smart, control the mortals in ways the Elders cannot and use it to your advantage.
-Learn about the updated setting (the Sabbat are no longer the big bad guys, they have been smooshed; intrigue between the Justicars and the Princes is now a major theme... if you hadn't noticed yet)
-It's a game, have fun.
-I will happily settle any rules issues, but I'm not your Mom so I won't sort out your issues OOC with other players.


To answer a question, you are all welcome to switch characters at any time. I will allow players to carry-over half of their earned XP to new characters. Example for any who don't get the math. Say base build is 40 and Anita earned 60 xp after playing Saoirse for a year. Anita would have 40 + 30xp to create a new character.




 

Hi all. My apologize for how late things have been recently but being an adult sucks. I sent out copies of character sheets with current XP totals. If anything seems off let me know. Downtimes are due by midnight this Sunday (July 16th 2017) . They will consist of one month's actions but you will be allowed to spend your XP as though it was over two months. The next game will apparently be the Toreador Salon (July 22nd) so get perdied up. Hope to see you all there.

On downtimes and XP:

-Before Monday I will have sent every player an answer to any relevant DTs that they last submitted, an up to date character sheet (it will include your last submitted XP expenditures), and any other info your character may have about the last three months

-I have given every player with an active character 4 XP per missed month of game (that is 12 XP each). It will be added into your saved XP and sent with your character sheet.

-Starting Monday January the 16th you will have 3 days to submit a new XP expenditure to me for your saved XP. It can be spent as though over three months.

-I will be filling in any "blanks" left on character sheets. Enjoy what you get. ;)
 
-If I did not get a DT from you after the last game (or lost it) you will have a big pile o' XP to spend. Spend it.

-I will have a pre-game coffee on the 21st. You may each bring one written question for your character to have looked into/researched while in hiding and I will answer it at coffee.

The story to date...

     With the coming of the fall equinox the mortal’s news service become transfixed on numerous murders, kidnappings, and strange sightings. The local news was alive with the story of 13 mortals, prominent citizens of Saskatoon’s Willows area, that were found murdered and dismembered on the grounds of the German Concordia Club the night that everything began to fall apart. Warped mortals and animals were whispered about stalking the streets and alleys of the Domain. The Kindred of Saskatoon were forced to bend all their efforts to maintaining the Masquerade to insure their own survival. Even with the Domain’s Kindred exhausting all their resources and mortal influences someone noticed the activities within the city.

Rumours circulated among the vampire populace of black SUVs that were spotted traveling the Domain. These vehicles were said to travel under diplomatic plates from Rome and carry specially trained teams of hunters carrying out their duties with diplomatic immunity, perhaps even with the human government’s sanction. In response to the presence of church sponsored hunters the Prince, new to the throne, ordered the Kindred population into the shadows. The importance of the First Tradition was never more real to those who once felt their powers set them above humanity. Several Kindred of the Domain disappeared during this time, perhaps some merely hid themselves away, but others may have fallen to the hunter’s fires.

                For three months the Kindred of Saskatoon went to ground. In this time the Prince issued orders to keep the Kindred of the Domain safe from those who hunted them. Under her guidance the Primogen organized their clan’s resources to maintain the Masquerade; the Keeper kept the secret of the Elysium and maintained the location’s sanctity; the Sheriff provided protection to those Kindred whose havens lacked the proper preparations and gave them shelter as needed; the Scourge moved undetected through the streets carrying messages and keeping an eye on the movements of the hunters; and the Seneschal insured that all Kindred without herds were quietly provided bagged blood to sustain them. Even those who did not hold positions worked toward the good of the sect, opening Havens and Herds as they were able to clanmate and coterie.

                In the New Year the sightings have faded away. Kindred control of the mortal world has spun the news to tell tales of monotony and the banal in Saskatoon. Slowly the hunters have been lead to believe their quarry destroyed, turned against the enemies of the Camarilla. Now, they are all gone. The hunters appear to have moved on, no longer do warped creatures stalk the city’s shadows, and the thing that was once whispered to be hidden beneath the German Concordia Club has gone silent. Now the Prince has issued a call to Elysium, a grand masquerade to celebrate the weathered storm and take an accounting of those who have survived these latest tribulations.
