You might pull off a similar effect with like minded players at any place that allows player to run stories with any level of import.

It's not the cut and dried part, I just don't think a single person among thousands executed sounds like being singled out. We can't be sure that some of those uncared about thousands weren't innocent as well, and didn't have political folks who wished their could intervene and save them.

The US penal system is an awesome example of an institutionalized bias against non-whites, probably even more so against black people. Huge trends involving thousand of cases, with huge percentile differences in outcomes. You seem to be saying that because this woman has darker skin, she should have been treated better than everyone else was, which is sorta the opposite of your general case.

Out of these thousands, were all the white folks let go or something?

Like real life meetings, I've always wondered why the opening isn't the set/big info dump so its done, and people can get on with reacting or leaving or whatever. As much as I think people can and would interrupt certain long speeches or actions, you can give a general heads up before hand, and if no one wants to interrupt, then post it and go.

Or is there something about that method that won't work?

Why is that? If it were the only one executed of thousands, yes. If its one of thousands who are not also black/whatever else, no, not really.

Vodacce are very touchy about their honor, and even more clever about their words. Women who have been caught in lies that caused bloodshed are forced to wear veils for their trickery.

The ancient Eisen made pacts with dragons and to this day some still wear armor and bear arms made from living dragon bone. Never let a blade taste your blood, for it will remember and hunger for it, and never travel with any piece save to return it to its home land.

When sailing the seas around Albion, an insect flying in the open water is a curse. They are courtiers of a Sidhe stronghold, and must be very politely refused when they offer hospitality. Taking food or rest binds a sailors soul to the isle, and refusing calls up the wrath of wave and storm.

You people cause SAN loss.

How many generations back does each person owe a reporting of violence, exploitation, oppression?

The Staff flag is the psychological equivalent to a clipboard and a white lab coat.

Please continue.

It's as if different individuals have differing opinions, experiences, and means of expression.

Yup.

Let me clarify:

But does that emotional investment mean that you are in a romantic relationship with your PCs romantic interest, or their player? Cuz that's the thing that I see as destructive.

I wholeheartedly support friendships and trust between players. Even a romantically and or sexually involved set of players should still keep their IC relationship and its tribulations separate from their RL one. Right?

What about the NWOD system stands out that you would use it? Other than "lots of people know it already"?

I musta missed that. Was that the week where we thought it might rain somewhere?

So angry. Damn that rap music.

Also ego investment is similar to, but not a one to one relationship to investing your hormones and desires.

I have more hope that the latter can be handled to allow story play in relationship play.

On the former, I suspect that the very reasons people enjoy playing are entangled forever in investment, and so it will come and go, be a stronger and weaker correlation. I would rather have a little of that than lifeless or unenjoyable play.

If it's a story element, and not your actual affections and sexual desire in text form, you should be able to make fun and drama from anything, including various challenging or uncommon relationships types. BDSM, polyamory, swingers, bi, trans, ... jealous, possessive, low self esteem, damaged, reckless, careless, hurtful, unfaithful, abusive, uncaring, all of it can be story.

Unless it's your affections and emotions and relationships on the line. You figure it out.

Czech-German. Bohemian atop that (which is just more Slav with German).

Should make Loyalists easier to spot.
