ST LF nWoD troupe.

Who: Looking for 3-4 players for a nWoD game. I am a seasoned player and ST and ST of oWoD and nWoD. What: The setting is going to be classic nWoD: modern, horror, gritty. Where: We will be using a mix of roll20 and Skype. When: I am in Arizona time (GMT -7) with afternoons/evenings on weekdays free and with weekends off. I can be flexible within this time for the right players.  Why: I've had the itch to ST for a while and I'd love to revisit nWoD and get my feet wet again. How: Everyone will begin as mortals (with an currently-undecided supernatural template to be added later) with standard creation rules. Please write a short (a paragraph) character concept. What I'm looking for: Dependable players who love to roleplay and aren't embarrassed to immerse themselves in their characters. In the stories that I run, you will not start as special snowflakes, though you can earn the title if you want. All of your bad decisions will have consequences and all of your good decisions will have rewards. I do not believe in deus ex machina. You will be playing in a world with creatures that want to eat you, manipulate you, torture you, steal your soul, etc. Bottom line: If you make stupid decisions, you will die eventually.  Most importantly, I want players to know that we're all here to create a horror story together; the STORY is the star of the show, not any individual character.

What is the general hour and day you see this likely being on and do you require people to be familiar with the game? This would be my first time doing WoD :)

I am available Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Im not entirely new to WoD I played a VTM that was pretty casual. Ive been desperately looking for a WoD or D&D5e gane to join but havent been able to. I am eager to make a character and RP. PM me if you think I could play with you.

I'm a veteran of oWoD, primarily Vampire: The Masquerade (both Camarilla *AND* Sabbat) and Mage: The Ascension (both Traditions *AND* Technocracy). I've read NWod, and I do consider it interesting. I used to play V:tM on an extremely regular basis, both Camarilla AND Sabbat. I'm on the east cost US time zone, but I work third shift. I'm pretty much only available around 9 am to 1 pm my time (EST), but could be flexible. I usually work 7 days a week, but I'm usually free during my mornings. I'm interested in playing, and with the right group if there was interest, perhaps picking up my Storyteller hat again.
Generally, I see this game happening later in the day on weekdays; starting at about 4/5/6pm (MST) and going from there. Alternately, weekends are open for me.   I do not require people to be familiar with the game. In fact, the game is set in modern times, and players will be creating mortals with no supernatural template and we'll only be using one rulebook. So, I think my campaign will be fairly friendly to the inexperienced WoD gamer. However, I would very much like all players to be experienced roleplayers. To me, that doesn't just mean you have played a lot of tabletop RPG's. It means you take initiative to accurately portray your character concept in a way that adds an immersive quality to the game.
I've played WoD as one single story in VTM before, and would love to give that character another go. He was a Malkavian Investigator who just had like the biggest balls around and no consideration for his safety (and a luck to avoid the fate that such an attitude). I can roll with whatever can happen to us, I've been in worse campaigns with GMs with no consideration for player health and inventory, so... bring on the horror. I'd prefer Friday evening, can do any other evening, tough I prefer afternoons better. I'm saying these in regard to american timezones, as evening is midnight to late night for me, and afternoon is about 8 PM. Currently only have wednesday, thursday and friday available.
I am super interested. We have the same time zone I think, so that works for me and I'm a long time roleplayer/nwod player. I've been wanting to play a mortals game for a while. I can do any time in the weekday evenings except Wenesday and I can make pretty much any time on the weekend work except Sunday from 1-3. Would you be using 2nd Edition/God Machine rules?
As far as character concept, I'm thinking of a grifter type who has a knack for getting himself into trouble and talking his way out of it. I imagine for once he's gotten himself a bit over his head with whatever he's gotten into this time. Or a social manipulator type who is great at reading people and uses it to get whatever he wants. Sort of an information dealer who knows anybody and everybody and can get his hands on anything for a price. Or somewhere in between those two concepts.
Sorry I violated the code of conduct.  I was trying to be funny and looks like I failed.  Best of luck :)
I'm interested if you're looking for a mortal consequence driven game rather than supernatural intrigue politics. At least at first. I always found it weird the metaplot group of character choice in creation of World of Darkness Supernaturals that you were hamstrung into being a stereotype before your character's first breath. If there's actually a moment of well I screwed up and deserve this and getting turned into a Nosefartu instead of saying I want to be a supernatural sewer dweller I would prefer it over the standard character gen of Librarian type getting turned turned into the Tremere/Mage/Geist of Aristotle or whatever Supernatural the descriptor version. I haven't played much oWoD other than Bloodlines on the PC. I started with nWoD Changeling when that came out of nowhere and was sleeper hit that got even highschool DnD only players into running a game. As far as Character type I think black market antiquities dealer. The kind of evil intellectual who procures and finds things for obscenely rich people who need a hobby of collecting medieval heretical texts or babylonian puzzle boxes. Sort of a three part mix of Johnny Depp's "Ninth Gate" Character with Beckett from Bloodlines(and apparently common oWoD character?) and Ripper Giles. All three of those are all over the amoral spectrum but have that same book nerd learning to be badass in the not physical threatening way. Plus it's easy bait for value to Supernatural community and allows the Storyteller to make a player the mouth piece for the signifigance of a random old book rather than have NPC exposition to always tell the value of maguffin.
