I will update the thread for the current Day but will get back to Downtime doings tomorrow.
Storyteller Shadow |
I will be updating Downtimes one per night till I get all characters done. Then I will go back and resolve any open points. Cristiano, as you need some RP we will be building your Downtime over the course of the next week or so.
Storyteller Shadow |
I will have a very busy weekend but will try to get at least one Downtime per day completed.
I am hoping to be ready to move on post downtime in the next 7-10 days.
Storyteller Shadow |
Weekend was even worst than I anticipated. Will get back to the Downtimes tomorrow night.
Downtimes
I will handle Xing Shi next and Michele Querini after.
After those are done, I will bein responses to those who have asked follow up questions.
Hopefully Cristiano's internet/computer issues will be cleared up the next few days so we can handle his Downtime sessions as well. If everything else is ready to go, we will have to cut those a bit short so we can get back into full Gameplay with all 13 Clans.
Was hoping to be through all of this by now but summer weekends have caught me with very little time.
In Game Play
Hopefully within the next few days Baldemar by Day will be complete and we can move on to the evening individual sessions with Baldemar and Lorenzo.
Once these sessions are done, I will get to the Downtimes you both as well.
Storyteller Shadow |
Hitting the wall here, Caps I will get to your Downtime tomorrow, I have it all pretty much mapped out I just need to type it all up.
Storyteller Shadow |
Bee workin round the house like crazy, its looking like Friday at best for Downtimes, will try to get both Xing and Michele done for that day though.
Storyteller Shadow |
Getting tired, here. By Friday I will respond to all of the open Downtime Responses.
Baldemar will be hack posting tomorrow. I am hoping that he and Lorenzo will have their sessions done by next week so we can move into full In Game action again. Cristiano, I have a post up for you as well.
As I discussed with Cantor, feel free to RP more with your Sires or other NPC's you know of you want to. Fellow PC's are off limits at the moment.
"Cantor" |
Just wanted to check, when you say RP with Sires, do you mean sort of like monologuing, or do you mean RP between our characters and the ST? I didn't want to postpone your finishing up Downtime prep.
Storyteller Shadow |
I think he means interact and he'll reply as the Sire.
I think he's just not ready to interleave all the story lines. Stay in your swim lane... :).
Yep this :-)
I will complete responses to you all tonight and finish Lorenzo Downtime as well. I am hoping Baldemar posts by Monday, his time for connectivity has been cut back severly.
I will be starting full game play post Downtime on Wednesday night.
Storyteller Shadow |
Will have everything up tomorrow want to post it all at the same time.
Great post Cantor, will be responding to that as well tomorrow.

So I was not sure how much or any that you were including stuff from wraith, is it a simple version or the full on thing.
DM
So he is hoping Brian knows what it takes to do just that....

DM ** spoiler omitted **
I have not decided yet. I have the Wraith books, not all of them but enough to incorporate those rules. Same with Mage, Werewolf, and Changling. It depends how involved the characters become with these other Supernaturals which will determine what rules set I will use.
Storyteller Shadow |
I can pump Animal Ken, Werewolves please.
Would Alessandro need to move to London?
Yeah no, werewolves don't like that...
No, he is stationed here in Venice on purpose. Of course, who knows what the future will bring!
Storyteller Shadow |
When I get home fro dinner tomorrow night, Downtime will be over and I will post for all 13 of you in the Gameplay Thread.
Storyteller Shadow |
Please move any leftover Downtime play to the Discussion thread and continue to Spoiler it.
Thank you.
Storyteller Shadow |
It may well have been the bodies located so near the pipeweed that gave it something, distinct as it sat in the ground... A bit of an unnerving thought even to your dead cold blood.

Lord Benne nods to you to remove the bonds.
Yeti shrugs, "Well my mission failed so I suppose I could tell you. My Sire wished me to follow the trail of a Cappadocian who used to reside in Constantinople, an Alexia Theusa".
Storyteller Shadow |
Downtime is officially over, except for a few stragglers who can post here.
I have posts up for everyone but Sir Baldemar. I have given him until next Tuesday to post or PM me. If I do not hear from him I fear I will have to move on, unfortunately.
If that does come to pass, I will begin to Recruit for his spot.
DMTFY |
Hi everyone, sorry to bust in here like this but your DM gave me the go ahead.
We just started a run through the Tomb of Horrors and our beatstick has gone missing. If any one wishes to join just click on this avvy.
Please feel free to contact me via PM or pop on over to here
Thank you for your time

Lord Benne nods, "I shall fetch a suitable candidate", one of the monks loyal to the Giovanni comes rushing in the room as if runnig a race.
"Feel free", states Lord Benne.
Yeti falls upon and devours the man's blood.
Despite gorging on blood he still appears to be a rotting corpse.
Looking down at the now corpse,"Sorry I did not mean to slay him".
"Worry not you saved us the trouble", replies Lord Benne. "You were saying?"
Yeti pauses for a moment, "A yes, my mission. Alexia Theusa is a rogue Cappadocian one unaffiliated with her Clan. The Baron had stolen many of her secrets, he wanted the rest from her. Alas, the trail had gone very cold by the time I started looking and when I was captured... well you know the rest".
Andrew the Hardy, Lord of Moray |
Andrew the Hardy Downtime:
@ Brian "Tha dead seem tah make tha life hard fer tha plants, mayhap a prayer will consecrate tha land enough tah end tha blight upon it."
Andrew kneels in the dirt plot he invokes a prayer over the land to cleanse the taint of death from it....
"Please join in tha convocation."
Let me know if I need to roll something...

The Baron did not share those secrets with me though he did teach me the powers that he knew. Those the Giovanni wished to wrest from me and alas I was unable to resist the powers of Ambrogino. Why he did not destroy me thereafter I cannot say. Perhaps he feared that my soul would be captured by Augustus and that I would reveal Ambrogino's betrayal".

Soon I will be posting for the entire group for the first time since the inception of the game.
It only took 3 1/2 years to get here :-)
As we are almost there, I believe some sort of posting requirements may be necessary to keep things moving.
This is a slower paced game then most PbP's, it is also much less action oriented so the situations will frequently be social.
Here is what I propose:
1. Each player should try to post at least once every 48 hours.
2. If a player is unable to post, I will consider them to be either disinterested in the events taking place or simply staying quiet for other purposes. Either way that is fine though it may lead to losing benefits to your character in game. The scene will then move forward or a new scene will take place depending on the situation.
3. If it is a decision which IS one that the player must make a decision regarding, I will DMPC them if they have not responded within that 48 hour window.
4. Weekend posting is optional though I do post on the weekends, sometime more frequently when I have nothing else that needs to be taken care of (such as this weekend). I will post large updates on the weekends on occasion.
5. If a player is unable to post for two weeks, he will be considered a DMPC until he returns.
6. If a player is unable to post for 1 month I will find a replacement for that player.
Let me know if these new standards are agreeable as a great deal of the action in the game will involve many if not all of you at the same time.
These new standards will be effective on the date of the first post which include ALL PC's.

Whew what a crazy weekend!! I am just getting caught up on some of my games, though I am on my way to work right now. Will try to get posts up as required tonight, though it is my real life Rise of the Runelords game so unsure if I will or not.
I too am agreeable with those posting guidelines.
Tomorrow it is, I never post on the nights I run table top, too much to do to prep for a game.
Storyteller Shadow |
It seems I have lost Bassanio and Baldemar!
I believe I will ave both replaced within the week.
Michael Santo will be posting soon as I have been in communication with him. Cristino Linitini also reported in yesterday so I expect he will have something up in a day or two as well.
ONce everyone has checked in, we can move forward into the building and the Conclave will begin...
Storyteller Shadow |
Oh no, losing disciples...I mean comrades is not good.
:-). I think I have a post up for you on the prior page Dr da Riva ;-)
