We are three experienced and dedicated European players (two from Romania, one from Germany - GMT +2/+1) looking to join a Vampire: the Masquerade or Dark Ages game. We have fully fleshed out and complex VtM characters but have been unable to use them due to our ST changing his mind at the very last second, and as such, we find ourselves without a game to play. We would prefer the game to be once a week, preferably during GMT Friday or Sunday, as Emanuel is hosting his own game on Saturday. All three of us have extensive knowledge of the lore/metaplot/fluff as well as the mechanics, the World of Darkness series being one of our all-time favourite game lines. We have been looking to play together as players for a very long time, as we all met under Hendrik as the ST, which changed to me being the ST, which changed to us playing other games and taking a break from Vampire. I promise you, and humbly, you will rarely find more dedicated players than us. I will include here a small description of the players for would-be ST's to decide if he wants to take on the burden. Emanuel - I personally prefer serious games that focus on the psychological aspects of undeath and the Embrace, as well as the struggle against the inner Beast and the vampire's eventual descent into Wassail (if it ever happens). I like a dark, gloomy and brooding tone, where my choices matter and the consequences can be devastating if not done correctly. I greatly enjoy a challenge, especially seeing as to how I'm familiar with the system, having ST'd my fair share of VtM. I am, sadly, a forever ST. Intrigue, power struggles and power plays are one of my favourite things, and I enjoy unravelling the thousand-year knots left by the Machiavellian machinations of the elders. My favourite clan is Brujah, although in real life if I would be Embraced I believe I'd be a Toreador. Oh yeah, and I'm a really fun guy. I play pen and paper games for the thrill of roleplaying something more extraordinary than the average Joe, as well as escapism. Evilu - Evilu enjoys mystery and exhilarating events. Whatever gets his blood pumping will catch his full attention and he will not divert it until he resolves the issue. He is a power player (not powergamer, despite his characters tending to be on the very strong side) and prefers his vampire to be as close as he can be to immortal. Despite his preference for combat, Evilu's characters enjoy the social aspect of the game just as much and intrigue is as interesting to him as it is to us. He knows the rules to the book by heart, though he understands (a thing I beat in him during my days as an ST, I believe) that rule-lawyering is a big no-no and the ST's word is LAW. Asking him what more to add to his description, he says "My love is Vampire. Idk." Hendrik - My focus in V20 games up until now was on the connections between my PC and ingame beliefs or organisations. First and foremost, Hendrik is a team player, who prefers roleplaying to combat. The unique and most interesting part is why you decide to do something and for what - a simple race to the top is less important than the reason you want power. Roads and Paths and groups that have a strong set of values and mysteries are the most interesting and I like to play games that develop them, so we better understand vampiric mentality and values. This can be a Caitiff trying to get to the bottom of what being a vampire actually means as well as a Tremere trying to do his best to balance his dedication to the Pyramid and his personal interests. I thank you very kindly for your time and offering to help a few old friends achieve their bucket list. We all look forward to hearing from you.
