Welcome to the World of Darkness. A world oh so much like our own but this world has shadows and dark places our world lacks. Things that go bump in the night hide under the bed, in the closet, and in dark alleys. The catch is: You're one of them. Our story begins in Boston in the year 2015. Several supernatural factions currently inhabit the city. The Vampires presence in Boston is strong with the leaders of the Ordo Dracul residing in Boston. The Changeling courts are all present however Winter and Autumn are by far the strongest. Sin-eaters are also present in Boston in force however many of the Krewes do not regularly meet with one another. Werewolves also prowl the streets of Boston however their numbers have been slowly dwindling as the other supernatural forces in the city cause the spirits of Boston to grow corrupt and dangerous. Finally a handful of Mages exist in Boston however their numbers are small and they remain well under the radar. Other supernatural entities do exist in Boston however they are rare in comparison to the others. Clawsandjaws, Demonreach, Lordjal, and myself will be creating and running various story arcs for this game and will incorporate elements of Changeling, Vampire, Werewolf, Sin-eater and Mage. Player characters will be either: Changelings, Vampires, Werewolves, Sin-eaters or if you're feeling rather brave Human (This includes wolfblooded, enscorcelled, ghouls and spirit touched). The Books we will be using are: New World of Darkness Core Rule Book Vampire the Requiem Werewolf the Forsaken Changeling the Lost Geist the Sin Eater Books I will okay on a case by case basis (Please ask away I just want to know what you're up to): Armory and Armory Reloaded The Book of the Dead Most if not all of the Requiem books (case by case) Autumn Nightmares Rites of Spring Winter Maques Lords of Summer Goblin Markets Swords at Dawn Dancers in the Dusk Equinox Roads For Character creation I ask that you simply keep the character reasonable and that they have an advantage trait of five or lower (Primal urge, blood potency, psyche, or Wyrd). Otherwise there is no experience limit but I reserve the right to veto any character I think is game breaking for the sake of being game breaking. Powerful characters are okay if they are powerful for a reason. A good rule of thumb is to be able to explain every single thing on your character sheet with some sort of story about how or why they have it. Characters will acquire new traits through role playing at the players digression (I reserve the right to Veto).

Pictures encouraged[/hider] The actual character sheets can be found in PDF form here: http://mrgone.rocksolidshells.com/sidebar-nwod.html We will be using http://orokos.com/ to roll dice please make an account and play around with the tools on this page a little however it is my hope to keep dice rolling to a minimum and to focus on telling a cool story. Dice rolls will be determined by the player however if there is a prescribed dice roll for an action you are required to use it unless there are extenuating circumstances. (I reserve the right to Veto) Please post dice rolls for actions and the description of what happened based on the success or failure of a roll. (If you aren't sure what you should roll feel free to ask for suggestions) I encourage you to play several characters and for them to have variety. Any questions you have ask away. Go ahead and post characters as you complete them. NPCs Should not be posted here as players won't know their capabilities. I trust my storytellers to keep them fair and to have integrity when it comes to NPCs/Antagonists. If you need links to the books please go ahead and PM me and I can either send you the links or email you the information. THIS IS MY FINAL DISCLAIMER: AS CLAWS, DEMON, LORDJAL AND I ALL KNOW EACH OTHER AND CAN GET TOGETHER TO PLAY IN PERSON WE MAY DO SO FROM TIME TO TIME I WILL DO MY BEST TO KEEP EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE GAME AS BEST I CAN BUT I AM MAKING SURE EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THIS FACT SO NO ONE ENDS UP UPSET.
