Starting a V:TM 20 Game looking for players

Looking to start a Vampire 20th anniversary game with 4-6 people. Group would be playing as newly embraced vampires just taken to their first Court to end their apprenticeship with their sires and be released into the World of Darkness in Chicago. From there you form a coterie and typical rpg shenanigans ensue as you try to survive and *gasp* maybe even prosper in this frightening new world. It would be sorta sandboxy from there, but it will feature plenty of politics, mystery, and gloom and doom prophecies that the Apocalypse just might begin in Chicago. I'll allow a healthy mix of clans but no weird ones please! As for Paths, no weird ones either and just having Humanity is a plus. I'll play a little loose on it (to quote Bloodlines, "I ain't talking about self defense, self preservation is the most human of instincts. And my favorite!" but it's the foundation of what any good Vampire game is built on. You might not be human and if your not careful suspect to pay the price and truly become something else entirely.

I am interested in this. I haven't had a chance to pour over 20th, is it enough of a chance that I'll need a copy as a player or will the old books suffice?

There have been some rule changes, but it's mostly how multiple actions work, clan weakness, and a couple of attributes. I can help you through what you need to know from 3rd books though dude.

I've played VTM only once before and I don't believe it was the 20th anniversary edition, so if you're ok with teaching a bit I would be interested in playing!

I am extremely interested, but it depends on what time you think you are running this game.

I feel like I am echoing everyone else in this thread but I am also extremely interested, haven't looked over 20th, and would love to hear a schedule. If I can fit it in I would love to be a part of this game!

Throw me out a time that would work for you. I work weird hours, so I might be surprisingly accommodating.

My schedule is pretty flexible, Thursday nights are no good though.

I've only played Requiem, but I have a little bit of familiarity with Masquerade and would be interested in trying it out. I tend to be free on most weeknights, and maybe on Saturdays.

I am old school wod player, i would be interested in playing a Nosferatu

Does anyone like Monday or Wednesday nights 7-10PM CT?

Sounds alright to me.

Those times work for me after November 4; before everyone else does daylight savings I would need to start an hour later. After Daylight savings that works for me. (I'm in AZ, no daylight savings, so my effective time zone changes)

i think i can do either at this point

I could probably do either, preferably Mondays if it comes down to it.

Well then I'll mark it down for Monday, unless someone positively can't do Wed. Would people be up to making Character Sheets on here? With background and character goals listed? Gives your characters more connections and adds more plot hooks I can add and use. I'll help people using old editions out during.

Yeah, I'd be up for that. I'm not sure what edition my book is, but I'm pretty sure it's an old one. Plus, I could possibly use a little bit of direction since I'm not too familiar with oWoD.

Ingore all metaplot. It killed oWoD for a good reason.

Are we ignoring the Assamites in the Camarilla part of the meta plot? -_-....sorry i had to ask lol

Are you all filled up yet? I'd like to join, I have a few characters I'd like to play that I haven't been able to use yet. I'm free everyday in the evening on weekdays, but not weekends. I have the rules for V20, but haven't been able to play yet.

I have a character, how do u want me to post it?

I still have room Sinan. Stonefur, attach it as a file or just paste it as a file here.

Are there any clans we're not allowed access to or is it all open?

Nick "Bigbat" Stephens - Nosferatu - Rogue - Deviant - Gen:8th Corrupt Beat Cop Str 4 Dex 2 Sta 4 Cha 2 Man 3 App 0 Per 3 Int 2 Wits 3 Alert 2 Ath 2 Brawl 1 Dodge 1 Emp 1 Intim 2 Street 3 Subter 1 Drive 2 Firearms 3 Melee 3 Perform 1 Security 1 Stealth 1 Investigation 2 Law 3 Generation 5, Influence 2, Resources 2, Retainer 2 Animalism 1 Obfuscate 1 Potence 1 Conscience 2, Self-Control 4, Courage 4 Humanity 6 Willpower 7

No weird clans like the Tzimisce Bobby. Stonefur, V:20 folded Dodge into athletics and changed the name of security into Larceny. Otherwise, fine.

Actually, bring melee down to 2 and add Animal Ken 1 since my ghoul is a "retired" police german sheperd ghoul

Ok, so then make brawl 2

Is assamite considered weird clan?

Are flaws/merits allowed? Regardless I dun think I'll be taking any, though unfortunately the pdf for my sheet is too big too attach to this post, do you have Skype or an email address I could send it to?

Here's me, let me know if anything needs fixing--if specialties or merits/flaws aren't allowed, they can just be taken out with no stat changes. Name: Simon Twitch - Nature: Survivor - Demeanor: Rebel - Clan: Gangrel - Gen: 13th Paranoid street rat Phy: Str 2 Dex 4 Stm 4 Soc: Cha 3 Man 4 App 1 Men: Per 2 Int 1 Wit 3 Tal: Alert 1 Athl 2 Aware 2 Brawl 3 Emp 1 Expr 1 Intim 1 Street 2 Subt 1 Skl: Anim 1 Drive 2 (Motorcycles) Fire 1 Larc 2 Melee 3 (Improvised weaponry) Stealth 1 Surv 2 Kno: Comp 1 Inve 2 Medi 2 (Mind-altering substances) Disc: Animalism 1 Fortitude 1 Protean 2 Back: Allies 2 Contacts 2 Mentor 1 Resources 1 Virt: Consc 4 Self-Con 2 Cour 4 Human 6 Will 5 Merit: Daredevil (3 pt) Flaw: Addiction (Hallucinogens, 3 pt)

Cammy version of assamite is fair game. Bobby Merits/Flaws are allowed up to seven points. My skype is manorcaveman bobby.

Here is my character, I still need specializations on a few skills, but that's it.

looks good, but I'm going to need some bios and goals for these characters.

Ah, yeah, sorry, I forgot about that part of your previous post. Here's my background and goals, plus some other potentially useful flavor text.

I might try the Camarilla Assamite...How does Assamite Sorcery work now? There are so many version of it idk 20th and also do the different castes still suffer different weaknesses? i will work on it tonight, but i am set on either Nosferatu/Assamite four shore.

Here is finished Nosferatu with background

Here's the numerical stats for my character. When I have more time later today, I'll post up the full sheet with the background. Name: Tom Dyczkowski - Nature: Conniver - Demeanor: Loner - Clan: Gangrel - Gen: 12th Shady private eye Str 4 Dex 3 Stm 3 Cha 2 Man 3 App 1 Per 4 Int 2 Wit 2 Alert 3 Brawl 2 Intimidation 2 Streetwise 3 Subterfuge 2 Animal Ken 1 Drive 1 Firearms 1 Larceny 2 Melee 1 Stealth 3 Surv 2 Investigation 2 Law 2 Politics 1 Animalism 1 Fortitude 1 Protean 2 Allies 1 Contacts 1 Resources 2 Generation 1 Conscience 3 Self-Control 4 Courage 3 Humanity 7 Willpower 3 Merit: Edetic Memory (2 pt), Acute Sense (1 pt) Flaw: Short fuse (2 pt), Cold Breeze (1 pt)

solid math there dude

did i math wrong? lol

lol, no but you know what I mean

Honestly , i am not really sure what you are talking about? I am not sure who exactly you were directing that at lol

Sinan A. did his sheet right. I just told him he did it right, that's all.

Anyone still interested in this?

Lulz, what works well is have them put it on Google Drive (which is free) and share with you. This way if they make updates you get it automatically. I also recommend giving a starting date, if not games tend to fizzle out. People need to know that the game is coming.

I was worried you were being sarcastic, and I actually did some math wrong, glad to see you were being sincere. Here's a file with history and motivations for my character.

Are you still accepting players? I'm familiar with the original system, but not the 20th Anniversary Edition. I'd be interested in playing a Malkavian or Nosferatu.

Thanks for the sheet Sinan and for the advice Tommy. I think we might be full T.R. but some people haven't gotten around to posting their sheets an backgrounds. So make a sheet in case they dropped I'd like to start by next week Monday or the Monday after that. I set up an Obsidian Portal Account in lieu of a Google Drive thingie. Hey I have an account and I want to use it. <a href="http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/shadows-of-ivory-tower" rel="nofollow">http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/shadows-of-ivory-tower</a> Make an account and ask to join, and post your sheets there and I'll accept you guys. It's a cool free service.

My info's posted. Took me a bit to figure out the interface, but it seems like a pretty neat system.

Bobby P. and everyone need your Skypes too. That's how we're going to do this...and I had to reinstall Skype.

Lulz, just so you know Obsidian Portal has a wonderful v20 Dynamic Character sheet you could have all your players using. It is one of the best Character sheets on the site.

Might I ask how to access it? I'm still new to using the site.
