Chronicles of Darkness – Crossover Chronicles: Unfamiliar Sky. New Players Welcome! We live our days completely ignorant of the true terrors lurking around us. Only rarely do our experiences draw back the veil of shadows and reveal the horror in our midst. These glimpses into the supernatural can cause us to retreat into comforting lies - 'There are no such things as monsters' - or stir our morbid curiosity. Only a few, however, can overcome their fear and dare to look deeper. General Information About Me: My name is Volke, I'm 21, university student, and I love to tell stories about the Chronicles of Darkness, having run two campaigns now. With that said, I still feel I am an inexperienced Storyteller and I am prepared to make mistakes, but I will do my best to provide a quality and excellent experience. And I am willing and hopeful to take on people who have little experience with the Chronicles of Darkness if needed. All I ask is that you are willing to work and communicate with me :) . About the Game: The game is a Crossover story taking in multiple splats and various aspects of the World of Darkness and creating an ecosystem out of it. For the most part; while the RP is serious, we also joke around, and we want others to joke with us. While the campaign and RP is the priority; we also want to have a good time! The story structure is built with both linear and sandbox elements, meaning that the campaign is mostly based on the decision of the PCs, but the world around them continues to move forward without them as well. There is an ending to the universe as a whole; but in general, there is no set ending – people play until they lose interest/real life intervenes. Game Setting: The setting for the game is the 21 st century. The campaign will begin in April 4 th , 2017 in Manchester, United Kingdom. The world has an almost identical history to ours except for slight variations. Within the world also exists the ability to connect to the Primordial Realm, Astral Realm the Inner Soul, the Underworld, the Hedge, and so much more! The story is dark and grim with various shades of grey. Crossover Elements : Currently, the Crossover includes most if not all of the various types of supernaturals within the CofD Universe (Including Vampires, Werewolf, Mage, Promethean, Sin-Eater, Unchained, Beast, Changeling, Mummies, and many others). There may also be a variety of Minor Playable Splats along with the potential for specific Fansplats if requested (particularly Princess the Hopeful, Genius the Transgression, and Parasyte the Pathogen, though there is no guarantee on how heavy these story elements will be). Game System : The game uses 2nd Edition books, rules and mechanics when available, otherwise we will use slightly altered rulesets for the various WOD games. There will be some homebrew rules/templates included as well for balancing/1E elements. Some things in the system will be substituted such as the Social Maneuvering and elements from the Investigation mechanics. Ask on a need to know basis. Playtime & Timezones: I assume we will often end up playing late nights EST varying from probably 7/8pm EST to 12am/1am EST (One of our players is from UK and we accommodate for this). I accommodate for real life priorities (as real life takes priority over the game), however we expect notice if unable to attend. My intention is to have at least a weekly game session, though I would prefer biweekly if possible to do. I have found that any more than that leaves people drained. Regardless, I am looking for people who can find time to commit and play and deal with a changing schedule. Organizing across various time zones will be done through online time organizational applications. Regardless, I will have the times in Roll 20 set to EST so it should set automatically to your various clocks. New Players welcomed and encouraged! – I love new players! I love new players and love showing them the ropes. I will assist you in whatever way I can necessary. My only dislike towards player types are ones that attempt to use their rules to their advantage at every opportunity or refuse to communicate their wants and desires and are unacceptable to listen to respect my wishes should I decline it . Should you be capable of this – I encourage you to send a PM :) .  Additional Information Respect of players and GM is a priority - No verbal abuse, or harassment will be tolerated. If you are uncomfortable, speak up immediately. - If at any time throughout the campaign, a scene or situations comes up that you are uncomfortable with, please voice yourself immediately. There are also systems which are in place that can allow you to express your comfortability if needed. Rules are up for discussion - If there is a table conflict due to the rules, we will spend no more than 2 minutes to come to a decision, if the conflict cannot be resolved by than, a note will be made and research on the subject will happen after the game is complete. The in-game situation will operate accordingly. Roleplay is the priority but keep fun in mind. - There will be combat and other challenges as well but the roleplay and narrative is the key. I am looking for players who wish to use tabletop roleplay and immerse themselves within the world. Every action: combat, skill, or conversation is expected to be roleplayed out. When rules and roleplay interfere, roleplay will win. With that said, roleplay is the priority – but be prepared for a bit of OOC banter as well. Both Text and Voice RP will be required & encouraged. - Text RP will be used to not interrupt people who are talking in a scene to prevent chaos as well as to engage in RP before, and after sessions. Discord is required for organization along with a Mic for vocal communication.Your decisions should all be based on your character's decisions. - As roleplay is a priority, your character's wants should be their wants (not your own!). Discord is required – Sessions will be done through Discord Voice Chat (No Video Chat or the like). Make sure you can download the program. There are also various chat rooms where you will be required to communicate with myself and the others outside of the game for organization and the like. There will be mature content & themes - The age requirement is 18+ due to the themes presented. Character Creation Rules Starting Template is Negotiable – Whatever splat you wish to play is negotiable. I may request certain things and have some concerns, but so long as there is communication; we should be able to compromise. You can play anything from a Vampire, Human, Skin Changer, or anything in between so long as the above is communicated with me. The character you create however must abide by a few rules to prevent the party from tearing itself apart: -  Your character must be believable . They must have a conceivable personality, a defjned appearance, and a background that includes family and friends, successes and failures. This means things such as roleplaying flaws, and real relationships. This also means no min-max characters. - Your character must fit into the party and the setting . This means that they need to fit the setting, and fit the needs of the party. This means that you cannot have a character whose specific determination is to bring the party to its knees for example. This however does not mean you cannot be antagonistic as group conflict is certain to happen; so long as the characters are not created with the intention to doom the party. By this extension: this means no Chaotic characters; - The character must be generally willing to work with others. While you can do things alone, and there may be solo scenes/text rp behind the lines; 75% of the game should be done as a party. You can play an isolated shy character, so long as they are willing to work with others for their common goals. - Your character must be entertaining to play as and bring something unique to the group.
