San Francisco, California, 4th largest city in California, 8th in the country, part of the San Francisco Bay Area, a larger region including Santa Cruz, San Jose, Oakland, and Berkley. It has the second highest population density of a U.S. city (New York being #1.) It’s no surprise in the World of Darkness, where the shadows run deeper and evil lurks in every corner, that a city that is already brimming with constrained madness has a healthy population of vampires, werewolves, mages, and a Freehold of Changelings. But most people are ignorant (willfully or otherwise) of the high weirdness that stalks the fog-shrouded streets after dark.
This game will be about a group of five friends, Bay Area natives, who once were close friends and have reconnected after returning to the area, either returning from college, the military, or for whatever reason (maybe they moved away when they were kids and are just returning for work in the burgeoning tech industry, for example.) They reconnect, go out for some drinks, but the night fatefully leads each towards horrific transformations. They might be embraced by a Vampire, awaken into the world of Mages, develop the First Change of the Werewolf, or become Lost (or find out they were Lost all along...) as Changelings.
Although the five will become more involved in the wider world of Darkness, and the conflicts and politics of their respective groups (both within the groups and outside,) they will also have their old friendships to fall back on. Even if they might be going through different things, they’re going through something, and perhaps that’s all that matters. The bonds of friendship will help them to help each other to survive in this bold new world that such people in it.
Application Process:
* New World of Darkness. For right now, I only have the respective rulebooks for Vampires, Mages, Changelings, and Werewolves.
* Come up with your character, everything except applying a template. The first thread will deal with everybody’s Preludes into their particular new lives (or un-lives, as the case my be.) You will then choose a template for your character.
* I will be determining what templates get applied randomly (with 4-sided die.) If you absolutely don’t want to be one of the four (Vampire, Changeling, Werewolf, or Mage) let me know on your sheet and I will reroll that one result. But you still would have a chance of being one of the other three.
* Looking for strong characters more than strong stats, and I am more than willing to help you refine your characterization if you need the help.
Questions/comments/etc.? PM me or post here.
