Apologies to all writing partners both current & prospective. Been sick for two weeks straight (and have to go to work regardless). No energy. Can't think straight. Taking a hiatus. Sorry again.

Where's the personality? The flavor? the drama? The struggle? The humanity? The texture of the time and the place in which this conversation is happening? In a word: where's the story?

Sounds like it's necessary. So the choice is really between there being a game and not. Not much of a choice, if you ask me.

What's the party composition looking like so far though?

@Cu Chulainn From your description I'm imagining a quite literal toreador. A Latin Lover archetype with tight pants and a rapier. He sounds super cool!

Okay thank you for explaining. I was so confused.😹

Well, my Ventrue concept is innately inseparable from '70s Americana, so if we're fledglings then I'm not playing him. I'll follow through on a Tremere sheet for now, but if someone else wants to play a Tremere then I always enjoy being one of the up-close-and-personal Clans too (Gangrel/Brujah/Nosferatu), and I'll pick one of them instead, so really @Cu Chulainn and everyone else have first pick.

I mean I think you're reading too deeply into something from that one post. Because right before that I expressed my desire to play Neonates. 😅

Also, if you're taking votes for the Session Zero meta, here are mine:
[...]
Coterie Age: Neonates (Embraced 1940-2000, +15 EXP, Blood Potency of 1-2 depending on whether we're using the Companion errata)

I just want to be good at the things I'm purporting to be good at. :D

Hey, if they didn't want me being OP then they wouldn't have made it cost 3 EXP (per) to be able to produce infinite tracking devices, climb any sheer surface, or completely ignore Humanity rolls to wake up during the day. Being Tremere is supposed to incur a massive social cost in exchange for being a bit of a blood-magic Ubermensch.

By the way, what dice pool would you want for sleight-of-hand things like pickpocketing people? Would that be Dexterity + Subterfuge? Larceny? An attribute roll like Dexterity + Composure?

Am I allowed to transfer EXP from one section of the character sheet to the next? For example, I'm making a Tremere, and I'd like to put a few Advantage dots toward knowing level 1 Rituals. They both cost 3EXP each.

Can't help ya then

@Necroes The problem is I can't access PDF's & don't own any rulebook's, so I don't know how you could help me learn the game. I am extremely intuitive at picking up on how to play TTRPG's.


Either hit me up on Discord or give me a working email address. This goes for anybody who wants any of the four most useful books in .pdf format:
  • V5 Corebook
  • Chicago by Night V5 (essential for the Lasombra or Hecata experience, as this one contains Oblivion mechanics)
  • V5 Companion (mostly useful for playing a Tzimisce or a Salubri, but it contains a few variant rules as well)
  • Cults of the Blood gods (mostly for learning about minor vampiric religions and roleplaying various mystery-cults. Useful for magic-oriented Clans like Tremere, Samedi, Nagaraja, etc.)

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, and Ancillae and it's led to some resentment as some characters are just objectively better than others.
