Should I allow Nachtrae...

.... play a second PC character ?



I kind of, by default, said no because you don't play several characters in a campaign, unless you're playing Ars Magica or Game of Thrones since you play the house and not the characters, but.. I like her idea and I could have it in.
Now, all players have a voice in this, after all, it's your story as well

So, what do you think/want ?

I like having the freedom of choice, so I voted yes.

If you're skeptic about how it would turn out you could always do a trial week or some such and judge from there.

Well she has to stop slacking on het main first though :p

It's okay with me, although I'll agree with Bloodywolf (in more diplomatic fashion) -- if she feels like she can keep up with the posting for both characters, more power to her.

On a similar note, I vote we kidnap a few of the original players who left the game, and force them to start playing their characters again... tell them to finish what they started!

Just sayin'...

Oh god I tried ! I really did but the guy behind Raekel seemed only to want girl on girl sexy times, while the guy behind the Ventrue wanted to be all limo + cat on the shoulder show off and if he couldn't make the 30 yards to arrive, he didn't want to continue on the campaign. 8people I'm afraid she's really sick no news or anything of her philosopher well he told us. Eliza got German education and well that also saddened me

Nacht should post tonight (college being a little time consuming and her mom and did always watch twilight.. Yeah goes with living with family xD)




VTM players be VTM players, with drama and special circumstances right ! XD

I know; I was just joking. Real life has a way of intruding sometimes. I empathize with the ones who have life stuff happen, like sickness/broken bones etc. However, the ones who leave because the game wasn't what they expected... we wouldn't want those back anyway, because they would just flake out and leave again.

LOL at Raekel's player. I think he wanted the character to be like Emilie Autumn (singer; he used her picture for his avatar). I may have scared him off when Duncan got annoyed at Raekel; but if he knows anything about the game, he should expect a Brujah to get pissed sometimes. There wasn't even any violence! For Brujah, that hardly even counts as an outburst.

To begin with as far as the question regarding Nachtrae, I say as long as their posting isn't as bad as mine ( ) then I have no problem with anyone playing more than one charcter, so long as they can keep them seperate and all that - unless the character is specifically tied to the original.

However, I do have something else to say regarding players as a whole. This may be a bit of a controversial opinion, especially considering some of the private conversations I've had with Claudia about the game, and my own habits here, but I am inclined toward thinking that not just anyone should be allowed to join in. I think that they should have some experience with role playing VtM aside from playing Bloodlines. Now, I know that for a lot of the players here, this is their first time playing Vampire: the Masquerade, and from what I've seen, they're doing a great job. But from what I'm hearing about some of the players who have left in the past, it seems that inexperience with the game and the setting has caused some issues.

If I'm wrong and out of line, then forgive me. I know that despite the age difference, I am nowhere near as experienced at the game as Claudia, but I have been playing and enjoying the World of Darkness for about half my life now - I started playing when I was 15, and I'm now 31. This game means something to me on a personal level. I still remember all the hoopla about cases like Rod Ferrell and Daniel & Manuela Ruda. Hell, I even once knew a guy who took the game way too far into his personal life and did some things that were criminal and down-right insane. Wound up going to prison for murder.

Needless to say, I have a long history with VtM, so maybe I'm just a cantankerous old coot who hates all the youngsters getting in on what was cool when I was a kid, who knows? Either way, I'll shut up now and probably regret posting this. But ultimately, my answer is that I'm okay with it.

okay now you got me interested :-o

I can't remember his last name - it was a long time ago - but his name was Eric. I was about 16/17 at the time, and I think he was 19. He was REALLY into vampires. Always said he was a daywalker born to a gypsy mother and stupid shit like that. Well, he was pretty much homeless and was always staying with friends. He wound up getting a gun one time, and scared the shit out of me and my roomie one time, so we went and got another friend of ours who was a cop's son and was a security guard at the local college, and he basically kicked the asshole out of our place. That was the last I saw of him for a while, but then a few months later I found out he'd been living with the president of the university RPG club, and had taken him out into the woods and shot him for money. Dumb-ass didn't realize that all the bank statements he'd seen around the apartment were for college loans and all the money was already spent. Anyway, he got caught and is now serving life. Damn, i wish I could remember his last name.

Damn, Vorax, that guy was fucked up! O_O Just proves once again that every fandom has its creeps who should be behind bars.

As for the poll. You should totally allow that wonderful and creative lady to have another character! Through secret spying and inside info I happen to know which character it is, and everyone should be allowed to be amazed at his amazingness!

You should go post as Estela first

Ohh look, dangle a reward in front of her and she posts within 5 minutes :-p

*cough*

Check!

hahahahaha

Shoo my weird, long lost, male twin! Be quiet! The reward had nothing to do with me posting.
I swear.
