Post a random fact about yourself.

I fell into a void of work and real life responsibilities and have pretty much missed most of 2021

Our Final Nights: A World of Darkness Roleplay

@Ezekiel hey! Nice to see a resurrected V:tM RP! It's been...awhile for sure.

If you're still accepting, I'd actually love to have my Ventrue Archon (Alastor) back in the fold, investigating the Sabbat cells within LA.

I read through the IC so far to catch up and love that most of the "old crew" has returned so that's awesome :)

Also, @sini, I would assume our characters may know one another, but to what extent I'm not sure. Might be fun to explore that.

Is anyone interested in Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition?

<Snipped quote by Rawk>

Same, but I want to learn!

@Briza

Great. Please learn, and...then let me know how it is.

Awesome, you're the best!

Never cracked open 5th, but I played back in the "Classic" VtM days (90s, when it wasn't classic, of course), but I suspect the rule set hasn't changed that much. And yeah, you still roll a shit-ton of d10s :/

Hoi peeps!

Welcome to the Guild, @Spambot

What do you want out of the PW?

Rawk your back! I'm going to be making a SpaceCop. Come be my partner, crime fighting duo!

@Sep

Meh, you know me. Can't stay away for long no matter how many times my kids drag me back to RL ;)

And sure man, "SpaceCop" is my speciality.

What do you want out of the PW?

Previously in this thread there have been discussions for major events to be logged and a sort of summarized history created and tracked. That said, I stand by my previous statement in that players should invest the time into reading old posts and threads if they want to get the most out of the game.

Look at it this way, you can jump right into an ongoing television series and after a bit you'll start to find your way around but there will still be a lot of continuity lost on you. Most people would binge the previous seasons to get caught up and I do believe that should be the case when joining an ongoing roleplay especially one larger in size where player actions will make up the majority of the world's shape.

@Lord Wraith

I don't think it should be mandatory but then I agree that it should be encouraged as good practice. Especially for players wanting to make more influential characters.

@Sep

There's certainly a mixed bag when it comes to this topic, but I've always been in stronger agreement with at least taking the time to read as much as you can through each post in order to gain a better understanding of the characters, their influences, as well as an overall feeling of the mood/setting, etc. Also, I find reading through (rather than getting a summary), helps a new player when it's time to actually write out a post because their character feels that much more embedded in the story as though they'd been there the whole time.

Summaries, however, are a great alternative to at least gain a basic understanding of what's going on, but for a player who might be serious about really sinking into the role, there's no substitute for reading cover to cover.

What do you want out of the PW?

Groups of players with IC families in fantasy sci fi settings. Hard darkness, bright neons, and cold rains in cityworlds where a pair of slicer players dive into a cyberpunk noir story.

@Ruby

Get out of my head, Roobs ;)

I'd love for less "epic galaxy-wide plots" and something more planet-based, or perhaps city/neighborhood. I've always loved Coruscant for settings, especially the gritty underbelly and all [insert number here] levels since any faction can be apart of the madness.
