Thank you for the raving endorsement for something you want nothing to do with!

Maybe we can arrange something with lots and lots of pregnancy for you. <.<

Tragedyjones has totes inspired me to do a harem of my own, except on his game, so he has to watch us do teh sexxorz.

Well, kinda. Made a character, Andres, to be sort of a blood pimp, renting out thralls as fast food for vamps. Looking for said thralls, and maybe a ghoul or two to help manage/procure. Vamp gets a feeding scene despite his social awkwardness over the whole undead thing, you get a supernatural experience or 10 without fear of becoming somebody's ghoul or dead, because I'll mess their shit up for fucking with my property. The rest of your life can be spent however the hell you want with all the money you're getting as an escort; I'm not the jealous type.

Standard disclaimer here about how this arrangement is not a guarantee of TS, and I'll take TSers and prudes alike, and I'll do my best to match up vamps and bloodbags with similar expectations. Histrionic types will be beaten and dismissed, because we're too old for that shit.

Interested? Or just looking to mock? Reply here, or poke Andres on Reno.

Well, considerng 2/3 of the WoD games I was on have gone tits up, where is my playgroup nowadays? I hear talk of Fallcoast, Reno, and Eldritch. Any others?

And just like that, we've gone from 2 to 0. I thought the problem would be interpersonal drama, and was all prepared for that. Turns out it's the threat of paperwork or competition that has done them in. Alright, I'll try again.

I need a person who:

1. Is okay with playing a ghoul on a Vampire game. It is nowhere close to as bad as on TR (plus VtR 2 gives ghouls superpowers for a lot cheaper!), but you're still a second-hand citizen.
2. Doesn't mind (ideally, thrives in) an ICly competitive/aggressive setting. Everyone's super-nice OOCly, but yeah, this is a game of vampires, which means there's backbiting and wars and trickery and politics.
3. A rp self-starter who uses my character as an aspect of their play but has friends and acquaintances of their own. Politics requires Clinton to be out and about schmoozing.
4. Is not looking for a one-on-one IC relationship, either because Clinton's relationship with the ghoul is non-sexual, or because the player understands that Clinton's a philanderer.
5. Enjoys simulationist games (Sim City, the Sims, even Farmville), and is willing to put up with a little bit of grind and off-screen dice-rolling in order to build something from the ground up.

Giving a single angry player the ability to commit suicide in a way that kills a shitload of other people (Going Loud, or whatever it's called) seems...let's call it problematic.

The setting is truly a lot of fun. I had nobody pull me over, I just joined because the southwestern kitsch setting really appealed. If it hadn't gone into its multi-month slump, I might still be there.

Alright, I should have two ghouls now (assuming the one makes it through chargen), so unless you are truly, epically awesome (and can get along reeeeeally well with other women), that part is closed. That being said, still looking for cultists (better living through cheap Cruac!), Acolytes, and regular humans to help me with the revitalization of Chirk Point into a mixed-use area of green spaces, offices, mid-range apartments, an international port, retail space, and if I get really lucky, an amphitheater.

@Catsmeow It's basically equal parts Prairie Home Companion and Douglas Adams.

@JinShei said:

Really? mantra I do not need another mush, I do not need...

If you have that many, what's one more in the big scheme of things? Maybe it's something you'd really enjoy...

Yeah, as a first shift EST-player, I have all kinds of problems finding rp. I've been enjoying Kingsmouth lately because it's mostly GMTers and Ozzies, so their times sync better with mine.

Are we talking about the same book? Where half the Cruac spells were entirely fluff, while the Carthians are running around with useful shit that actually works?

It's the same as RL relationships. You don't just up and go polyamorous one day on a whim. That shit takes work, and all partners need to be agreeable to it.

Gertie is a wonderful person to rp with, which helps significantly. This is how cliques are formed.

It really depends on if you're making the Next Big Thing or not. If you accept that the people who don't like territory-style games won't play there, then life gets a lot easier. If you're trying for NBT, then you need to worry about the millions of caveats.

I'm not sure how this went from wanting a ghoul to an advertisement for all of Kingsmouth, but there you go. Also trying to get a cult off the ground, though, so anyone who'd want to join my cult on Kingsmouth, I'm recruiting for that, too.

Yeah, if you're totally against Damnation City or the codification of territory grabs and power-taking, this isn't the game for you. That being said, I'm told it's been modified to better fit a MU* environment.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned the 'Civilian' playstyle. Civilian means total consent, Political means total non-consent, and support is sort of a blend. You can change playstyles later on, so you could totally do Civilian, get a feel for the grid and its people, then go Political once you learn the ropes.

Just make sure you pick the Civilian playtype, and you're good to go.

Yeah, that would certainly be your best bet. Make a vampire, then troll for one twue ghoul or fellow vamp or something if the one-on-one is most important to you. Obviously the power dynamic is different, but then you're not stuck in a situation where your domitor wants more ghouls and you're feeling hurt about it.
