Looking for validation on this topic.

So logically I had the idea that 2 clans as groups could control domains and herds in their perspective territories. First is the Nosferatu clan in the sewers(Warrens) who can use animalism to summon all manner of wildlife for easy meals(which I noticed that players with animalism use it as a freebie hunting roll).

The second was a Gangrel clan. Originally they only had a combo of 15 domain and 1 herd. But I changed it to 9 domain and 7 herd (now that I acknowledged that earlier animalism trick). My idea is that all manner of...

What did you use? Excel?...

Did someone make a comprehensive list of clan lineages in a family tree format already?

[Pnizzle]

I surfed around. Those are the best ones I could come up with for now....

[Pnizzle]

I wouldn't say no reason. It could easy be done in various ways. Mortals unknowingly assigned to harrass another target. Papparazi, police, gang members, etc get in their way and mess with them in various ways....

In my chronicle no one used influence. Only one character had it but never utilized it. I decided to make a more mechanical system to spice it up. This idea could open up some more passive aggressive uses of influence from other vampires NPCs who you make piss off.

Pip 1: Expose a corresponding background of a foe.
Pip 2: Impose penalty on background to a foe (sustained, only 1 at a time)
Pip 3: Impose penalty to a corresponding skill to a foe (sustained, only 1 at a time)
Pip 4: Grant bonus to a corresponding skill (sustained, only 1 at a time)
Pip 5: Unique...

Some questions.
How could you justify a player(s) without domain but they have influence and herd and resources?

Contacts: how would you value having a shreknet account? 4-5 pips?

If you have a mayor in your pocket how valuable would they be?

Domain seems like just more work and unnecessary if you have herd unless it were a prerequisite to getting more stuff.

I tried to upload attachments in another topic of mine. I got an error saying " You are not authorized to create or remove attachments.". but i blatantly see it on here. I must be missing a step....

Thanks. To answer your questions, the purpose of the write up is to be a generic write up. I could throw each character individually in to set the tone. The characters introduced in their manner was supposed to be purposeful. The deputy is supposed to be scary. If i could upload attachments to the site i'd show you pictures to describe them(keep getting errors). The seneschal is supposed to be waiting outside the conference room. He's supposed to be an imposing, curt, and extremely formal individual. Yes he is stoic as he never expresses emotions and its supposed to unsettle people. I...

characterization, Style, plotting. This is for my campaign I've been using.

I was bouncing this off of guide to Camarilla and the story tellers guide to make sure it flowed normally. Some things are unique. And I wanted to make sure it would be entertaining and mood setting at the very least.

I can check for grammar. My wife is an English teacher, she can bust my chops if I don't get the simple stuff right.

THE PRINCE’S PRESENTATION

You begin your journey through a turnstile of the World Trade Center. Armed men escort you with suits and wires connecting to their ears and ridiculous yellow tinted glasses. There you get on a service elevator which seems very ornate and mirrored. An electronic keypad is in place of a regular button panel. One of the guardsman swipes the screen with a black keycard and ankh appears. You arrive at a very high floor you estimate considering the panel does not give you information as a normal elevator would. None of the...

We dropped the 1s and raised all difficulty to 7 base instead. It went poorly and we failed much more often. Caution advised when changing the system.

In my chronicle I have Pentex agency making power plays against other entities in the city.

I've done a good job at making two of their local CEOs be very intimidating to the players.

Although one player joined them. But through bad luck later lost his character to NPC status. His npc status made him scary too which worked out well.

I'm fishing for ideas to make them scarier and more interesting while maintaining the masquerade theme.

[Pnizzle]

I can't give away any details about the murder because my players are on this site.

Every detail you ask is a detail they must confirm or debunk.

I already have ideas but am checking the hive mind for things I may pass up. Devil is in the details.

I have the book forArchons and templars. Good combo investigate abilities.

Any suggestions for giving stats to an archon?

[Pnizzle]

How can the scape goat prove their innocence?

Yes this is LA, and is pivotal to the Camarilla.

Would morale break? NPCs ditch town?

If the sabbat catch wind what would they do with this knowledge?

Through a convoluted series of events and literally amazing luck of a player he has diablerized the prince of the city. During the morning dawn he walked in and the prince could not stay awake to defend himself.

The mystery is no one knows really who or why. Another pc who was spying was in the chamber when it happened but also could stay awake. So now the spying pc nosferatu is obviously being blamed for it when the ghouls freak out and find their master's ashes after feeling the pull of their blood supplier's bond vanish.

Should a justicar get involved? How many archons...

[Pnizzle]

Yeah this won't be short. So I'll drop that plan.
