Thank you. The video was very helpful!

I think it is that Davide knows but hates it and lives far away. Alexa doesn’t because they only speak via email or on the phone so they have not seen each other in person in many years but stayed close.

I think the beauty is in graceful movements and precision. So this or dance or something like that.

I am ok with conflict unless it would be a problem for others.

I hope not; given that our mission here is finding conflict to generate stories! I just want to make sure it's one you're O.K. with that's personal to your character :)

You will still want to submit a GamersPlane.com character sheet that at least has an image for your character so you can "Post" as them.

How detailed do you want the character background to be? I should be done with mine by Monday at the latest.

Dunko - as ST do you have a preference for "balance" within the coterie? ie do you want all players to be different clans and types of feeders? Or is some similarity and overlap OK? 😊

I'm open to mixes of everything--Clan, feeding style, even generation and ages. Overlap is also fine with me as long as you are all cool with it. I intended to really, and I mean really, lean into the more free-from narrative style that v5 offers (it feels a lot like Cortex to me). So whatever makes a good story I'm so cool with!

Yes, this is the style you feed, and it can also have narrative (mechanical) implications. But I believe you can change it up. I think it's more of a narrative guide(?). Your Kindred has reason to feed in particular ways.

A lot of Stain and it's resulting depression, emotional states, and loss of humanity will tie into the taboos, etc. set in the Chronicle Tenets we need to come up with--they are what you play against to push your character into "dark" narrative; their the roadmap of what to "play against", the boundaries to push . See page 172

We can go with one of the suggested for now, for ease.

Since I'm working my Gangrel to be the muscle, the Alpha Predator...etc, Alley Cat would fit him best. That's not to say he's against seducing his prey, he just prefers the chase.

Just checking in to see if anyone needs any thing or has any questions, thoughts or concerns!

I know the VtM books can be dense, and this one is no exception, but I'd not worry too much about anything beyond character creation and the Test & Contests.

Play by post is a nice relaxed environment for learning the system on the fly IMO.

Once we have a few vampires we can get rolling, and anyone still working on one can jump in when they are done--we'd definitely not require "the party to stick together" in this one.

That's two Kindred ready to roll!

For ease of decision making, I'm throwing the Chronicle Tenets suggestions up here:
[ +- ] 1. Humanist
[ +- ] 2. Creed of Justice
[ +- ] 3. Gothic/Romantic
[ +- ] 4. Street Code
I think we could even start without the Tenets, and perhaps adopt one that fits the emerging gameplay.

I think same, really with the Coterie type--it's fully possible to start without picking one; it just gets folks on the same page with same buy-in.

We could always roll some dice to see what comes up, even.
[ +- ] Coterie Types

Just bumping this to see if folks are still around!

I'm ready to start at anytime--even if we just have the two kindred to start with--but I want to make sure everyone is still cool.

Does anyone need anything; assistance, idea bouncing, etc.?

I'm a firm believer in developing characters as we go, so if folks are still around I hope no one is overthinking!

Good deal! Just checking in to avoid petering out in planning stages--seen it before.

I'm gonna aim for making the first RP post this coming Friday! Any loose ends and not fully formed ideas can be fleshed out as we go :D

1. Age and generation--let's keep the same generation.
It looks like Erik and Giulia are both pretty old, chronologically; she's about 60, he must be pushing 100 if he was in WWII? My character concept will be a lot chronologically younger than them, but I can tweak his concept to have him diablerised himself to a comparable generation and level of power for chargen purposes.

2. Sect--roughly, this can evolve during play.
I'm leaning towards Anarch or at unofficially Autarkis.

3. Type of Coterie
Regency could be very interesting, or perhaps Champions, Questari or Watchmen if we could create a purpose that unites such disparate characters.

4. Chronicle Tenets
I like to default to Humanist.

Remember you can still be same generation but more recently embraced 😄!

I actually like the Regency Type as well.
