Alright, my sweet walking blood-cakes, LETS DO THIS!
I'm gonna fire up a Sabbat game, which will exist kinda like the main PL game in the UnMod room (meaning players can play their little soap-opera dating-their-ghouls-on-the-beach scenes without me being there to watch) with me occasionally running scenes (you guys know there are these rare happy occasions when we're both on, and they occur at least twice a day or weekly for some).
As usual in my games, in order to play, you gotta PM or email me a character sheet or ask to pick a pre-made one (I will post a pre-made pack for the picking soon... man gotta have lunch!). You can create profiles by submitting the sheet as if it was a normal character and just marking it UnMod (I remind you you'll have to send me a copy since I'm not a main-site ST and cannot see these sheets nor award them XP).
XP is awarded and handled by me each week.
So much for the technical stuff.
SETTING:
I put a poll out for you guys to be able to vote on a city you'd like to play in, but it ended up with only two votes - one for two different cities each.
So in the interest of satisfying everyone like a gangbang slut, I shall have to pick one for everyone and enforce my undying tyranny... Ok, so I'm just picking a city and you folks can reply now and say "NOOOOEEEZ, we all wantz this other place!" and I might be persuaded to change my pick (I'm susceptible to all forms of bribery).
The game takes place mainly in Tijuana, Mexico and also encompasses its immediate and more remote surroundings (including San Diego and southern California, all the way up to Los Angeles and the like - as well as territories in Baja California, Ensenada, Tecate, all the way east to Mexicali and the like) to allow some Nomadic fun, as well as center in Tijuana.
CHARACTERS:
As I announced, there will be a pre-made pack for the picking soon. I encourage anyone who feels like playing Sabbat to PM me about a character concept (if you want to create your own character) and to talk to other players about making packs and covens with your characters. 90% of the Sabbat do not exist in the solitary confinements of the Camarilla (who can go all by their respective lonesome loners), and even the most solitary of young city-based Sabbat sees his coven-mates in weekly meetings or at a shared (communal) haven.
Characters may be created from any of the following clans: Assamite antitribu, Brujah antitribu, Gangrel antitribu (both City and Country Gangrel antitribu), Malkavian antitribu, Nosferatu antitribu, Panders, Salubri antitribu, Serpents of the Light, Toreador antitribu, Ventrue antitribu - as well as from the Lasombra and Tzimisce clans.
Ravnos antitribu are also possible pending a nice background.
Black Hand Membership, Rituals and Sabbat Status are possible, but each demands some explanation in the background. Black Hand Membership in particular has its own requirements (see below). But they are possible.
Clans and bloodlines that you may not take in my game are the Blood Brothers, Harbingers of Skulls, Samedi, Gargoyles and the like.
In terms of Disciplines - anything goes as long as there is an explanation for it. You may not start with Clan-Specific Disciplines that are out of your clan (Protean if you're Malkavian), but you may learn them from your packmates. Necromancy and other forms of blood magic are possible, pending background explanations - remember that in my game, things have a certain price aside from freebie dots, not as punishment but as an enhancement of roleplay and storytelling (so don't take it just expecting kewl powerz - 'cuz they don't come alone). Being a blood sorcerer might take you certain paths in the game.
Paths of Enlightenment for starting characters is discouraged (I prefer that players start with Humanity and gradually degenerate towards a Path during the actual game) but I don't ban them entirely. A player with a cool character concept and background might get it at character creation.
And a final note - you may ONLY play Sabbat characters. This is a correctional discrimination.
The Black Hand, the Inquisition, Templars
For the start of the game, players cannot yet create Inquisitor and Templar characters (though they may accept such positions ICly). The Black Hand however, is a different story. Players who want to may create Rookie Black Hand characters. Interested players should PM me for details - the Black Hand's secrecy affects even the OOC information about them!
Things That Don't Exist In This Game
- Pentex and other specific Stuff From This Other Game I Got. This is Vampire: The Masquerade, and I don't do crossover lightly.
- The Giovanni do not have "Dons". Unless Italian families normally title their elders like that, the Giovanni aren't a mafia, they're a Venetian family of necromancers and "businessmen" who might get you what you want at the cost of your soul.
- Setites are likewise not kidnapping bullies. Both of these clans are very scarce in the setting. Unless you're a Necronomist or a Serpent of the Light you're likely to know or care very little for either of those clans.
- The Sabbat do not congregate in "Temples". Each priest in a city coven might have his own parish and each pack might certainly have its own communal haven, but there is no one big central communal haven/batman cave maintained for all. Though the bishops' parishes might be big and composed of several packs.
