I am -so tired- of this lame-ass argument How many users on this forum were born slave owners? None. Our parents weren't. Our grandparents weren't. Hell, our great-grandparents weren't. Throwing up shit that ended 150 years ago as if you've personally suffered under yoke of some plantation owner? Weak. Your parents didn't. Their parents didn't. And on and on back, just like above.

So on my father's side of the family in East Texas, there are slave owners and I am fairly certain that they still have the plantation property. Then there's the married in side of my mother's family who were in the klan, but somehow decided to make exceptions for Mexicans.

@ThatGuyThere Howdy!

During the workday it seems the game is a little over 10, this last weekend it was a little under 10, we haven't actually advertised except for this thread here and then when The Reach was hitting itself in the nut-sack with a tackhammer I posted an ad like "hey guys we are making changeling over here." I need to add us to some places. :v

It LOOKS like to me that our most active time is Thursday evenings. We have a pose XP thing and this is how I know whether people are RPing. This past month we've had an average of 7 people RPing at once on Thursday nights, which is pretty good for a 10-15 member +who list, but on the weekends we don't have a big crowd. I assume this is because we're partying hard IRL.

I'm glad people like my CG!

The Reach had this circus faction going on and I advertised when the Reach was getting shut down. So, when we were launching, people were looking for different places to play. We were asked if people could bring their characters over to our game, and I said "sure", and so we have the circus. They are currently the largest group on the game. We are looking for characters who don't belong to the circus, so there is more variety to play with.

For example, we have a Common Threads thing (news starting xp) which are RP hooks which reward XP and give you an IC position to be more directly involved in our plots. These include things like story seeds and group membership that so many players find appealing.

For example, we have The Hookup, an entertainment company which is Changeling operated, the extra funding of which is used to develop the city's supernatural network and thereby keep tabs on paranormal happenings.

There's the Fireman/Bastrop Fires hook, which incorporates the real-world wildfire that devastated Bastrop County (just southeast of Austin); in our game world the fires never died, at least in the Hedge (in the real-world side, they are gone), and we encourage you to make characters who know about the Bastrop Fires and have experimented with how to put them out in the past.

Then there is the homebrew Secrets merit, available in chargen. to characters who have history in Austin. Each dot allows a person to know more about Austin's unique history, both mortal and supernatural, such as the NPCs from the past who are pertinent to the metaplot, the location of Hedge gates, and hints and clues as to just what is going on with things like the Moonlight Towers and the stories about the Servant Girl Annihilator. The way this works is by showing you news files you would not otherwise see and by being able to add your Secrets rating to any roll regarding knowing/finding out more about things going on in Austin.

So, we have the Circus. We we also have Austin-centric plots and themes that we'd love people to join in on so we can tell our game's unique stories.

I am glad there is excitement :D!

I am still looking for staff, though, for reals. We can do this whole like, "Three man band tagteamorama" for a bit, and probably longer than usual because I have automated so damn much but, if I could get a staffer for each of the core clans then I'd be such a happy thing.

@DnvnQuinn Revenants are basically ghouls who were born that way and don't need to suck off a vampire every month.

We are accepting applications and by God, we have a (work in progress) wiki at www.ModernNightsSF.com!

Sweet merciful baby Jesus all swaddled up in his blanket don't even know his own name yet

We're going to be opening soon

We need some Anarchs. C'mon, son, you could be the Constable, the Ambassador, or the Engineer whose job it is to be an asshole and fuck with everybody's havens. Imagine the potential.

Howdy, guys!

I'm JD from By Right Of Blood and since I got the reins of my game back, cut out its restrictive house rules, burned its Spanish Inquisition style chargen to the ground, and started storytelling on Wednesday and Thursday nights, I'm super excited to invite you to my game! It's a Vampire: The Masquerade game (20th Anniversary Edition) and you don't need to have the 20th Anniversary Edition book to play, you just need to come in and be awesome. Our plots focus on the religious and occult aspects of the Sabbat and reckoning with crazy Eldritch abominations.

I've had two fun plots running for the past month about uncovering the secrets the Followers of Set left in the city. This Saturday, the 25th, Archbishop Eremenko is asking the diocese to infiltrate a gathering during the Feast Of Saint Mark to recover information on a potential new enemy for the Sword of Caine, as chances run high that the Sabbat face a new war against an enemy not seen in recent years in the City of Miami.

Check out the website (www.byrightofblood.com) which has ideas and information, or come and connect to Mux.ByRightOfBlood.Com port 2015 and party hard with us.

The game is small so we want to see more players. If you recruit your buddies and they make a character, you can get 5 XP per victim you bring into the fold. Our staff's timezone is CST so you should see us online on weeknights and weekends!

Chargen is smooth and user-friendly, a matter of putting stats on your sheet, so you can hit the grid as soon as you've desced and statted your character.

I am open to the idea of adding in Camarilla and/or Anarch on Tree Of Woe's terms, that is, if the sects are put into different cities that have enough distance between them so that open PC vs PC warfare is not tenable. We tried it out with them being next door to each other and that was not good, combined with problematic staff at the time.

However I WOULD NOT STAFF IT MYSELF. because I am not really personally interested in Camarilla/Anarch as a storyteller and a game deserves someone who is willing to devote attention to it.. I would code for it (since it'd be on my game), but I wouldn't do any storytelling for it.

So, the opportunity and code is ready for someone among you who DOES want an Anarch and/or Camarilla Vampire game, if you want it enough to build a grid and provide storytelling and engage players, and you are okay with collaborating with me in the sense that it would be on my server/port.

I really would like to see what would happen if you provided an all or multi-sphere game, but where the spheres themselves are segregated into cities. The details depend on who you're crossing over, but, the concept interests me. I want to see what would happen if you had a game where every supernatural type has a designed-in reason for sticking to their territory/territories....Hell, where merits like "Open Road" are actually worth taking.

As an aside I also have code for Werewolf just sitting around on this game since I was asked to do a Werewolf sister game but then the staffer lost interest. So Yama and I are recycling it to make a BADASS WESTERN AW YEE. and I think one of y'all wanted a Werewolf game?

Aw. Wellp, tonight at 7 CST I'll be wearing my ST hat :V Thanks to the events on Saturday (that being this priest BURSTING INTO FLAAAMES at a feast) the players want an audience with Eremenko and it looks like vampire hunters may be afoot and need skull crushing.
