[Interest Check] World of Darkness: A Gallery of Shadows

One of the defining characteristics of the World of Darkness is the variety of the settings, and the large number of settings available. There's not only the official gamelines (Vampire, Werewolf, Mage and whatnot) but the smaller settings as well, like Immortals or Inferno. There's such a variety out there that it almost seems a shame not to put them all to use. So, here's my thought. The party decides on a gameline (Vampire, Inferno, Geist, et cetera) to use. Everyone creates a character from that gameline. We play these characters for a short campaign, perhaps six or eight sessions. Once that campaign is done, we drop that gameline and continue with another. New characters are made, and we start a new campaign. Basically, we continually try out different settings and characters within the World of Darkness universe, A campaign lasts for a few sessions, creating a short story that arrives at a natural conclusion before we move on to the next system. Does that sound interesting to anyone?

Sure I was thinking of Persona when I read this but as long as its text based I'll join but I'll skip the following lines: Vampire and Hunters. They are not interesting to me and I consider them antagonists.

We would discuss and agree on gamelines in between campaigns; if you don't like a particular line, simply mention that in the discussion.

I'm open to any races except those two and I'm not sure how Promethean would work.. But I'm open to it and I'd be estatic to be a Sin Eater.

Is this OG World of Darkness or new?

New. Promethean would work as they normally do.

I have Changeling Mage and Werewolf(new on all three) core rulebooks.

I can provide the rulebooks for just about any setting we choose, if you guys need them. So that in particular wouldn't be an issue.

Just offering what I got.

Hello. Your idea sounds like it could be really fun and interesting. I do have a couple of questions, though, and I apologize in advance for bombarding you with them. I also realize that you might not have an answer to all of them, considering that this is an interest-check and not a recruitment thread. Would this be over voice or text? And have you considered time and day of week yet? And of course, which time zone? How much knowledge about the different settings will you require for joining? I’m afraid that I’m only intimately familiar with mortals and vampire, along with a passing understanding of changelings. Granted, I am prepared to read up on the others, but it is rather time consuming and the amount of reading might be daunting to some people. Have you considered what approach you are going to use yet? Will this be a sandbox game, or will it be plot-driven? Thank you for your time.

No problem. I'm thinking voice, about once a week. I'm based out of Europe, so something GMT-appropriate would work best for me. Of course, exact time would work on what's most fitting for the group. I don't know a whole lot about much of the settings, so we would be exploring the settings as we go along. Some reading before we dive into a setting before we start off might be a good idea, though. I'm leaning more towards sandbox than plot-driven stuff; I find that it works better for me personally.

Sounds good to me. I prefer voice and I'm in Europe as well. Consider me interested.

Oh man, someone mentioned really wanting to play a Geist. Put me in that camp. I suppose a few of the others would be cool too, but like WolfCleric there are others I have no interest in.

I can't really join if you use voice.

I'll join, and I have absolutely no quarrel as to what I could play, although I've only ever played Vampire, I'm open to exploring with a group.

If you think this is going to be as "professional" as the previous one, you can count on me Calle //professional

I expect only top-notch professionalism from this group. =) That does make four interested people though - Sara, Bear, Xaedien and animusu - so if you guys want to play, PM me your Skype names and I'll get a group going.

I'd also be interested, I'm in the U.S. but I'm flexible time-wise
