Sin City Chronicles

What have you been up to, TJ, you may ask? Well, I am moving soon and working and shit but besides that, here is something you may care about:

Sin City Chronicles is a Multi-User Shared Hallucination utilizing multiple Chronicle of Darkness Gamelines to tell a variety of stories in a modern horror setting. Sin City Chronicles will be set in modern day (night) Las Vegas (and surrounding metropolitan area, including the Las Vegas Strip) and the immediate surrounding Mojave. The city and the land will be incorporated as integral parts of both the backstory and the mechanics of the game.

Features:

Multiple Gamelines with full 2nd Edition Rulesets (Requiem, Forsaken, Created, Awakening. Primordial, Sin-Eaters and Lost TBD)
Integrated Cosmology which explores the nature of the world, with answers to questions from What is the Dark Mother, to what is God.
Supernatural and Mundane Area Resource Tracking (SMART) - Utilize a system to track the available resources for each area on grid.
Many Flavors... - Vampires, Mages, Frankensteins and more all make their home in Vegas, leading to unique and interesting combinations and stories
... undiluted Taste - Each Gameline will be given the respect and understanding that its Core Theme needs to stay intact
No-Nonsense Staff - Zero tolerance will be afforded to those who harass others, and there will be no hesitation to smack an asshole
Subtle Twists - In the city of Sin, things are a little different. Uncover the local quirks of the 10 Arcana, or the Predator/Prey Dichotomy that Uratha feel in certain areas.
100% 2nd Edition - Nothing from previous iterations of these games (Beast excluded, obviously).
New-Player Friendly: Staff Created organizations to ween a new player into the various societies of the supernatural

Currently in a design stage, just letting the world know I am still working on a thing. Again.

I honestly never remember that exists and have never read it. So, PROBABLY not.

POOOOOOOOOP

No Mummy for the harem. Can never catch 'em all.

Good to see you around TJ!

tragedyjones · Apr 25, 2017, 1:34 AM

@Alamias Is it though? IS IT?

On a more serious note, I am interested in folks who are smart about Beast and Mage to help me with some mechanics, as well as those who know Forsaken 2E better than I do. Requiem I have down solid.

As much as I love you to bits...

...not it!!!

(Been there, done that, burned the tee shirt.)

As a fellow Las Vegas game-runner to another, best of luck!

Silly rabbit, you're a wiki person not a staffer.

Alamias · Apr 25, 2017, 1:34 AM

@tragedyjones Yes, yes it is!

Wizz · Apr 25, 2017, 2:45 AM

My only "meh" about this is that will technically be 3 games in Nevada. Ho-hum.
BUT YAY 2ED

tragedyjones · Apr 25, 2017, 2:46 AM

@Wizz I didn't know there was a current Vegas game, honest. I just wanted Mojave and stuff.

Wizz · Apr 25, 2017, 2:48 AM

@tragedyjones Hey, it is your show man. Get your Mojave on.

Jennkryst · Apr 25, 2017, 3:42 AM

It's in the desert. Practically BEGGING for Mummiez.

I will even volunteer to staff it.

Botulism · Apr 25, 2017, 3:49 AM

@tragedyjones No worries! Fear and Loathing. We're GMC Vamp, CB, Changeling and Immortal.

I am normally not thrilled by Vegas as a setting personally, but daaaaaaamn would Mummy be a cool sphere there.

surreality · Apr 25, 2017, 5:34 AM

@tragedyjones I could whip up something like BITN's again, probably, yes.

(By which I mean I still have most of that code if not better versions of it I can kinda just drop in somewhere.)

I got my hopes up for a game set in the world of Sin City: the comic.

Jennkryst · Apr 25, 2017, 5:58 AM

Terrible news: Mummy the Curse appears to be written for nWoD, rather than GMC, DESPITE being written after GMC existed.

This means EFFORT will need to be made for them to fit into the 2e ruleset. I shall bite this bullet if allowed.

Derp · Apr 25, 2017, 9:43 AM

While I don't really wanna staff there (<3 you but already staff on another game and that is work enough) I can probably help as a Mage advisor, since you seem to be wanting one of those. What are you looking at doing here?
