Darque Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 High explosives > Princes. Yes. Unfortunately, HE make diablerie difficult. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Diablerie is an overrated concept.
213374U Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Im thinking of finding a more "gothic" look pic for Val since everyone else has to look so damn cool! What are you talking about man. Your portrait is just great. In fact that was the kind of art I was looking for when I was searching for mine, but I had to make do with VTES drawings. Diablerie is an overrated concept. Riiiight. How many have you diablerised? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
GhostofAnakin Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 5 from the background story? We get 5 from making a background story? Why was I never informed of this, with those and the 3 from my portrait, I would've had enough for another discipline. Ditto. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ditto again. I should probably get writing a background for my character then, as well as a portrait.

We get 5 points for backgrounds, perhaps this is to what he refers? If we do get 5 extra freebies for a good background story, I expect Ender will clarify it later tonight. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
GhostofAnakin Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Yeah but I gotta write up a background for my character anyways to help me "get in to" the character fully. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
Musopticon? Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 No "extra" freebies. I just got 5 for writing a background. Not 10. I hope that clears it up. I'm proud of my little history. It's only 4 pages with the font of 10, but who cares... kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Kaftan Barlast Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 So it is as we thought, you got awarded 5 freebie points for writing a very good and extensive background?

Musopticon? Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Oh, I thought you meant 5 extra freebies for writing a good background on top of the 5 freebies you get for just making some history. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 As far as I know, you are the only one who has been awarded bonus points for backstory.

Musopticon? Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Interesting. I thought everyone got some. Too bad I screwed up the sheet. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

GhostofAnakin Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 I didn't even know we had to write a background until I saw everyone else talking about theirs. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
thepixiesrock Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Do we have to write background? I was just going to reveal my background through out the story... Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
Archmonarch Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I have an elaborate backstory worked out; it simply behooves me to transform it into words. Especially if we get 5 freebie points. (w00t) Edit: Pixies, the backstory is purely for the ST's and your own benefit. It is not shared with the other members, unless you want it to be. Having a defined history allows you to better understand your character and his motivations, as well as giving the ST (Storyteller, same as GM or DM for other systems) possible plot hooks to work into the chronicle. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
Loof Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 What are the odds of one of you slapping your session logs up on the net somewhere and linking to them somewhere on the forum? I would love to follow the story as it unfoulds
EnderAndrew Posted August 1, 2005 Author Posted August 1, 2005 Keep checking the first post in this thread and I will link to session logs. For private scenes and the like, people can opt for me to publicly link the log or not.
Guest GroinOfDespair Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I would probably be interested in this if it didn't seem to chipper. You're playing Vampire people, immortal leeches whose very essense is unnatural and predatorial. Most players play wannabe fast-food half-expressions of heroes, assuming their virtual protagonists with supernatural powers are superman, not realizing they are boogie-men. The delusions are almost sad. You can claim to have altrusitic natures and motivations, but your basic motivation is to rob innocent victims of their lifeblood.
Darque Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 ^ Oddly, I agree. I tend to make my Vamps predators first and foremost.
Guest GroinOfDespair Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I propose that Darque is the smartest woman (presumably) on these forums.

The delusions are almost sad. You can claim to have altrusitic natures and motivations, but your basic motivation is to rob innocent victims of their lifeblood. Well, it remains to be seen if it will "chipper". At least give us the benefit of doubt, will ya? I agree with the general idea of the post though. VtM is difficult to roleplay when compared to say, D&D. But if the players can really get themselves into the characters and realize that they are actually damned blood robbers, and not super heroes, the game can be really enjoyable. That's why it's one of my favourite settings. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
EnderAndrew Posted August 1, 2005 Author Posted August 1, 2005 One could also play the angle of the victim. You could see Vampires are tragic victims, murdered who now are really dieing a slow death of their humanity, instead of seeing them as monsters.

You could see Vampires are tragic victims, murdered who now are really dieing a slow death of their humanity, instead of seeing them as monsters. That's a possibility too. It would be difficult to reconcile the victim feelings with the predatory nature of the vampire, but I guess that only adds to the RP'ing. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
EnderAndrew Posted August 1, 2005 Author Posted August 1, 2005 All the more reason why I like to encourage considering who you were before embrace, and taking the time to really consider your nature and demeanor.
