You are most gracious. Thank you for having me.

I know the rules a little, but only because my V5 game started back in June and has been running steady since. Those players have been my guinea pigs as I trial-and-error my way into semi-competence lol

Hmm, I did wanna play a Neonate (Embraced ca. 1970's) but everybody starting with the same EXP value makes sense. I'm in a New Orleans game where the GM let people join as Fledglings, Neonates, [i]and[/i] Ancillae and it's led to some resentment as some characters are just objectively better than others.
