The Legacy of Blood - VtM Methuselah game

This will not be a traditional elder game though they will all be of 5th Generation. I would like a diverse group between ancient and modern. Those who were embraced in the past will have been entombed since their Embrace and while they have the potential of a Methuselah they are created just like a normal character. Same with the Modern characters. None remember their sire completely save for one theme that he (or even she) is tall with tan skin and long black hair. Ancient tattoo's visible as well but it is all hazy. Being of different clans how can they share the same memories of a Sire that they do not fully remember? The game will start with the modern characters heading to a Museum exhibit that displays the relics of a civilization that predates Sumeria and only a single tomb complex survived. Not able to open the sarcophagi they tour the world along with a few ancient tablets in a language no one has ever seen but it resonates within the characters allowing them to open each sarcophagus to reveal another of their kin. This would be the opening scene of then getting out with what appear to be museum relics. Their blood is felt by other Vampires so they must survive in a world of vampires more powerful than though their blood is far more potent. Left imprinted with all that it means to be a Kindred and the use of Disciplines and other vampiric abilities. Even the modern characters will have been given knowledge of the ancient language. They must survive potential diablerie attempts by those who crave their blood. Survive nightly and court intrigues. Asked to cast their votes and dispense wisdom to those who ask as those of such potent blood due. Some doubt their power and believe they are lucky and caught an ancient in slumber and are weak and pitiful. All the while trying to uncover what their Sire or Sires wants them to do and how they fit into the future of vampire society. In terms of characters I would want most the Camarilla clans (Tremere not valid) or an Independent clan that can work within Camarilla territories. I would prefer a game in which the characters seek some kind of transcendence (like Golconda) or some new Vampire evolution that exists for all life. Some aspects of Vampire culture we can change to make a game more fun. Whether more open to humanity or even more closed off. I am not sure if the Tomb complex will be Enoch (or some other Vampire dominated culture predating Sumeria) again that will be up to the input of others. The game will tend to be a bit more mature in nature with elements of mystery, discovery, survival, suspense and of course horror. Time frame for the game would be any day but Thursdays or Fridays. Starting at 7pm Eastern regardless of the day,
So is Saturday open? That's the only time open for me right now. I DM on Friday and will play a game Sunday soon. The other days I'm busy. I'm interested, but I'd rather not dive further.
Potentially, I wouldn't be against it and would have the most flexibility in times through out the day to make the game. I just rarely offer a weekend since no one ever seems to want to play on that day.
Well then, I'll just have to see how many people are interested. If nobody wants Saturday, I'm fine with that. I have enough role-playing to keep me happy.
Definitely interested in this.   You said that other vamps would know our gen and be after our blood, but that would imply they found out.  Vamps can't tell each other's blood potency just by spending a few minutes with them.  They can vaguely tell how potent someone's blood is if they taste it and can know exact potency with thaumaturgy but they wouldn't just /know/.  We aren't stupid enough to run around shouting "LOOK AT ME I'M A BABY 5TH GEN! COME DIABLERISE ME!!!!!" are we?  Because if we are then we would, if you're playing realistically, be dead by the 3rd session. Experience>raw power,   I am open to Thursday at 7PM EST but not Friday.  At the moment my Saturdays are also free. If possible I would like to play a camarilla aligned Lasombra but you seemed concerned about the chars fitting in with your story so I'll leave that up to you.  Whatever clan I take I would definitely be interested in a chronicle pursuing golconda.  You mentioned other means of vampiric evolution.  Could we perhaps do a bit of crossover with requiem and work to discover the VTM equivalent of the coils of the dragon?  That might be pretty cool.
I could do any day besides wednesday nights. Been itching to play a VtM game on Roll20 and this seems like an odd, but fun idea. Send me a pm if you're still looking for players.
OOOOOh you said anyu day BUT thurs/fri My bad XD
Yeah, I'm free any time but Friday nights/evenings EST and sunday afternoons EST, at least at the moment.
Just was considering elements of adding more danger, but you are right in VtM there would be no real way for them to know Generation just by being around them. If Saturdays is open then I would definitely wouldn't mind running it on that day. As a Lasombra hmm I mean it could find into the context of the story since his sire may or may not have been a Lasmobra just adding further mystery to why one of the Keepers would be within the Camarilla.
Can we set up a skype group or something so we don't have to keep coming back to roll 20 to avoid missing something?  My skype ID is sadpuddle
My aim is TheShiningLily
Hi, I'm absolutely interested in this. Saturday doesn't work for me, Sunday only EST evenings (7 pm and later), but during weekdays I'm wide open. As for generation: Yes, nobody just "knows". But there's always the danger that someone finds out, and if the players aren't careful then rumors about it will spread and then people will be gunning for them. So the danger is there, but not really in the sense of "everybody knows", because as Kenneth pointed out then they'd die quickly, but more a "everybody could know if you screw up". If you got skype my name there's "khales.aoc" I don't think I can add AIM contacts to skype. Maybe the other way around works?
Definitely interested even if the hour suck! do you got a Skype?
I will create the game and post the join link
i am new to the table top and will need help creating my character and understanding the rules
