So, several years ago I was involved with a multi-player, forum-based, play-by-post V:tM game. I started as a player, then joined the ST team, then became the main ST until the game ended. At its height, it had upwards of 50 players.
Yesterday, I found out that there are still a number of players who want to play that game. So... I'm restarting it. It's going to be something of a reboot: I've cleaned up the setting and made it something I would have run from the very beginning (after a number of STs and different plots and such it was getting a little fragmented), and everyone is going to be starting with new characters.
Basically, the game is set in Los Angeles and there are a number of forums - representing Kindred hangouts around the city - that are for "open", player-generated plot and inter-player role-playing where you can start your own RP scenes and join other players RP scenes. Then I run various and sundry ST-generated plots which you can join or not, as you see fit.
Anyway, it's a V:tM 20th AE game. Very player-focused and player-driven... almost sandbox-y. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, hit me up here and I'll give you the deets.
Tim.

Hmmm. This does sound interesting.

Sounds like a blast! I almost joined an L5R game like that. I would totally try it out but I don't own V20 AE. I'd love to hear how it goes.

Fortunately, the0gekko0state, V20 is not that far removed from V:tM Revised for character creation. There are only a few changes; so if you're familiar with V:tM Revised, don't let that hold you back. Oh, and sbloyd? It was a lot of fun. It helps if you don't mind engaging in some creative writing, and if you don't mind a slower paced game; one scene may spread out over the span of several real-time days as players have differing posting speeds. But I was a player for like... a year and half and an ST for almost two years.

Unfortunately I'm not. I'm just getting into the whole world of darkness thing. I got some books off a friend, werewolf the apocalypse, vampire dark ages, Mage the ascension stuff.

Sounds awesome...I don't have any real chance of playing anything White Wolf in the near future beyond something like this.

Ok, folks. I've got the basics all pretty much setup and I've turned on registrations. If you're interested in playing, now would be a good time to get registered, read up on the setting, start working on your character, and contributing to some of the out-of-character conversations surrounding tweaking some of the finer points of the game. I figure we'll be doing that sort of stuff - character gen and tweaking, and "soft" RP to get used to the way this game will run - for a week or two, and we'll set an actual "game start" date. www.labyfire.orgHope to see you there!

Uh...I taught in Compton (IRL) and that Baron looks mighty white . But I'm registered. Good job on this Probie Tim! There was some talk a few years back of having a Happy Jacks persistent world but it was mostly swamp gas...I look forward to burning Palos Verdes to the ground (its the only way to be sure).

LOL. You're approved. Gibbons was originally from up around Hollywood, but when the Anarchs were given Compton by the prior Prince he moved his ass down that way.

Well it was pretty standard practice among my students "Mr. Jackson! You DO NOT GO OUTSIDE AT NIGHT!!" This offered up when I tried to get them to sketch a lunar eclipse...

Hahaha! "Hey! You anarch vampires! Don't go out at night in Compton!" For what it's worth, Gibbons tends to hover around the Radiant Hotel and Casino (which is pretty much the Crystal Hotel and Casino) and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the more "street level" anarchs have setup some mutual understanding with the local gangs, heh. "Hey, G-Tone or whatever... I tell you what, you don't try to pop a cap in our ass, and you won't wake up one morning missing all your blood! How's that sound?"

So, just to keep everyone here in the loop, the game is building up strong. We've got a good number of players registered already, and we've settled on some important dates:
8/7 to have characters done and submitted, 8/14 as the game start date.
(Now, once your character is done, submitted, and approved, you'll be able to run around in the forums and do "soft RP" stuff... getting to know the other characters and whatnot. Just none of the actual plots or stories are going to start until the 14th.)

That's good to know. Any of those other slackers have their characters done yet?
