But thee I now admire, thee would I choose
|
|||
|
|
For my Religion, or my Muse.
|
|||
|
|
'Tis hard to tell whether thy reverend shades
|
|||
|
|
Has more good Volaries or Poets made,
|
|||
|
|
From thy dark Caves were Inspirations given,
|
|||
|
|
And from thick groves went vows to Heaven
|
|||
|
|
Hail then thou Muse's and Devotions Spring,
|
|||
|
|
'Tis just we should adore,'tis just we should thee sing

I have set the Vampire Club from "World of Darkness" in Paris.
|
|||
|
|
It has the same owner, and some background. It is floating on the
|
|||
|
|
Seine. Every new kindred to the city will have free membership, and
|
|||
|
|
will have to do a short performance on the stage. She/he will have a
|
|||
|
|
week to prepare her/his show. At the end, Sire Francois Villon will
|
|||
|
|
welcome the new kindred to stay as long as she/he wants, for the
|
|||
|
|
proof that one is an artiste has been given. If what they have done
|
|||
|
|
is crap, he will invite the new comer to leave his city. If it is
|
|||
|
|
THE PITS, he will order a Blood Hunt on the "chien qui a osser me
|
|||
|
|
presenter une tell chose!" ("On the dog who presented such a thing!".)
|
|||
|
|
This is very rare, as every kindred is told that they better do
|
|||
|
|
something good. On the other hand, if he is impressed by the show
|
|||
|
|
(such as very good french poetry, etc..) he will be most pleased to
|
|||
|
|
help the new comers in the future!
|
|||
|
|
This must be played in live action (rolls to play instrument..
|
|||
|
|
botch is always possible, no others!). Let them know that they are in
|
|||
|
|
the "citee des arts". Costumes, and advice are avaiable from
|
|||
|
|
Sebastien, but he will never set up something. Villon will never
|
|||
|
|
speak another language but he understands several others, and won't
|
|||
|
|
mind if the new comer performs in another language.
|
|||
|
|
This performance can be anything, like a play, a demonstration
|
|||
|
|
of one's abilities, a song, a lecture on a subject (art is good, but it
|
|||
|
|
can be on anything else, as long as its not borring!). Eg: A Tremere
|
|||
|
|
could do some "magical tricks"; a Malkavian could mimic the Tremere....
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOTE:
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
I am using different rules for Diablerie:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*First you advance in generation acording to (your generation/vessel
|
|||
|
|
generation) rounded to a lower value. If the vessel is of the same clan
|
|||
|
|
as you; then you gain +1 in any CLAN disciplines the vessel had, if
|
|||
|
|
they are above your own level. If from another clan, you can develop
|
|||
|
|
the vessels MAIN dicipline, without having to learn it. (same price as
|
|||
|
|
a non-clane dicipline, but no need for a teacher.).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*That's the good things, now the bads:
|
|||
|
|
Roll your conscience against your humanity:
|
|||
|
|
1 or more successes---lose one humanity and a conscience
|
|||
|
|
No successes----------lose 2 humanity and a conscience
|
|||
|
|
Botch-----------------as above, and the character gains a
|
|||
|
|
derangment and he/she frenzies...
|
|||
|
|
Now, some part of the vessel will pass onto you (his/her soul
|
|||
|
|
is beeing mixed with yours), so you will start to develop a
|
|||
|
|
trait of character which will be close to the nature of the vessel.
|
|||
|
|
The greater the jump, the greater the reincarnation.
|
|||
|
|
Eg1= Nathaniel diablerises a Ravnos of 8th generation, he ends up
|
|||
|
|
a a 8th (he was 9th), and only gets mild kleptonania.
|
|||
|
|
Eg2= Nathaniel diableries Villon, he ends up as a 6th generation,
|
|||
|
|
with a mix of Villon's soul and his own..he died as Nathaniel, and
|
|||
|
|
Villon died as well, but now there is a being with a bit of both!
|
|||
|
|
Eventualy, Villon will take over the new body and be re-born as a
|
|||
|
|
6th generation Ventrue.....
|
|||
|
|
*All disadvantages from Diablerie Mexico are still present!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It makes diablerie more powerful, but it has a very
|
|||
|
|
funny "bad" side...DO NOT TELL THE PLAYERS YOU ARE USING THAT RULE, IF
|
|||
|
|
THEY WANT TO BE DIABLERISTES, THEY MUST PAY THE PRICE (and discover it
|
|||
|
|
at the same time!!!). In Paris, a diablerist will gain a very bad
|
|||
|
|
reputation due to the Lady, who will "hate" him/her and will try to
|
|||
|
|
make his/her life very misserable! The only diablerie permitted is
|
|||
|
|
after a Blood Hunt, if the Prince is realy impresed by the courage
|
|||
|
|
of the players, and he is very VERY angry at the hunted! Even so, he
|
|||
|
|
will try to make the character do a wrong move and kill him/her as
|
|||
|
|
soon as possible; or at least to make his/her life very misserable!!!
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
Some of them go through the wall,
|
|||
|
|
Some of them could never stay,
|
|||
|
|
Some of them falling...Into the flames.

1_ T H E B R U J A H :
|
|||
|
|
Since the last 200 years, the clan has been known to
|
|||
|
|
be active in Paris. There greatest achievment was the French Revolution,
|
|||
|
|
in 1789, they manage to take control of France, and only an alliance
|
|||
|
|
of the other clans succeeded in destroying their "Republique". They have
|
|||
|
|
then waited till the 18 of March 1871: the Paris Commune! 100 days of
|
|||
|
|
anarchy across the streets of Paris. It was eneded by the army, lead
|
|||
|
|
by a ghoul of the Ventrue. Then the prince, after seeing that the
|
|||
|
|
Brujah destroyed his library at the Lovre, ordered a Blood Hunt on
|
|||
|
|
" Tous les membre de ce clan depravee et inutile!!!"(all the members
|
|||
|
|
of this useless and deviant clan). The biggest Blood Hunt ever called
|
|||
|
|
among vampires: All Brujahs were hunted down and killed by all the
|
|||
|
|
other clans. There was no pity. None survived, and Paris was free of
|
|||
|
|
their influance till the 20 century. the Elders of the clan took their
|
|||
|
|
revenge in 1917: The Russian Revolution was set and succeeded. All the
|
|||
|
|
other clans were told not to interfere. In may 1968, there was a
|
|||
|
|
burst of Brujah and the country was taken by surprise! The prince
|
|||
|
|
agreed to let the clan come back into Paris, and the clan ended the
|
|||
|
|
"mai 68" revolution.
|
|||
|
|
There are no leaders of the Brujah in Paris, only a
|
|||
|
|
inn, where they meet and plan what to do. They are all of 10th
|
|||
|
|
generation or above since no older Brujah will go to Paris...They
|
|||
|
|
still remember the Commune!!! The pub is called: La Taverne de Nesle,
|
|||
|
|
rue dauphine.
|
|||
|
|
There are lots of gangs in Paris (skinheads, punks,
|
|||
|
|
etc...), feel free to do your own Brujah, but they will be "young"
|
|||
|
|
(100 years old). The players could become leaders of the clan, or can
|
|||
|
|
start as one of the leaders (they are 5 called: Philippe, Bruno,
|
|||
|
|
Vanesa, Delphine, and Vincent. They are all 8th generation).

Why does it greave me so

Why do you breath so low

My Lady D'Arbanville
|
|||

You look so cold this night
|

Your lips feel like winter
|
|||
|
|
Your skin has turned to white
|

|
|
|

I love you my Lady
|
|||
|
|
For in your grave you lie
|
|||
|
|
I'll always be with you
|
|||
|
|
This rose will never die,
|
|||
|
|
This rose will never die.

2_T H E G A N G R E L
|
|||
|
|
They were the most powerful in the past, able to cross
|
|||
|
|
the kingdoms, as they wish. Now there are only dreams of that time,
|
|||
|
|
and plans for the future!
|
|||
|
|
Paris has a very small population of Gangrels, in
|
|||
|
|
fact they do not live in the city, but in the woods near it. All
|
|||
|
|
parks in Paris are theirs, but only few live there. They hate the
|
|||
|
|
Toreadors even more here, since it is them who have develpped Paris
|
|||
|
|
so much. Their leader is a women, who died around the 14 century, not
|
|||
|
|
a lot is known about her but that she is the Lady of Arbanville!
|
|||
|
|
She came to Paris 50 years ago, and became the leader of a brood who
|
|||
|
|
lived there. She seized control of the Boy Scout movement and it is
|
|||
|
|
said that Lord Baden Powell was one of her freind. (she didn't make
|
|||
|
|
him a vampire, because she loved him to much to inflict the curse on
|
|||
|
|
him. And at that time she was already in Golconda.). She made an
|
|||
|
|
aliance with the Nosferatu (with Jean) and the Malkavian (with
|
|||
|
|
Benoit) clan to move against Abelard, the Tremere leader of Paris.
|
|||
|
|
The Lady and he have been enemies since the first time they saw each
|
|||
|
|
other. She doesn't know what he is doing in Paris but wants to prevent
|
|||
|
|
him from doing anything. She knows that he practised diablerie to
|
|||
|
|
gain power, and that he will be ready to use it again, if he finds
|
|||
|
|
an elder! But she has no proof of it.

BACKGROUND: I was invited to quit the Camarilla and join the Inconnu
|
|||
|
|
sortly after my achieving of the Blessed State of Golconda, but my
|
|||
|
|
Children need me to show them that there is a way to be free from the
|
|||
|
|
frenzy, and live accepting the Beast as a part of yourself. I will never
|
|||
|
|
force them, if they don't want to join me it is all right, but I'll try
|
|||
|
|
to convince them all. My powers are great (since the Beast helps me now)
|
|||
|
|
but I will not use them, there are too many who will be jealous and
|
|||
|
|
might want to comit diablerie on me! But I will always answer them and
|
|||
|
|
advice them on how to reach this The Blessed State.
|
|||
|
|
My frienship with the Garou, or Lupines as we calll them,
|
|||
|
|
is long. I helped them against the evil force of a demon in the past
|
|||
|
|
(what they called a Bane). Now they consider me as one of their freinds
|
|||
|
|
and they are, in some sort, very close to me childrens.
|
|||
|
|
Of all clans, the Tremere are the one I fear the most! They are
|
|||
|
|
on the wrong way and they might unlease powers far above their
|
|||
|
|
power to control. Anyway, Tremere will pay for his Crime.
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: long blond hair, with eyes as deep as the sea, the Lady is one
|
|||
|
|
of the most beautifull women of the world. She always wear a white
|
|||
|
|
dress and is always charming to mortals and kindred alike.
|
|||
|
|
ROLE PLAYING: You will aid anyone on their way to Golconda, if they
|
|||
|
|
ask you. You will try to help any vampire who comes to you with
|
|||
|
|
goodness in her. Always smile, and try to make the others around you
|
|||
|
|
happy. If there is a Tremere in the room, you will not speak to him,
|
|||
|
|
nor help him. The Toreadors are blind to the beauty of the world and
|
|||
|
|
try to create their own, it is the wrong way: but they can learn, and
|
|||
|
|
you can teach them. Consider that in every Kindred, there is at least
|
|||
|
|
5% of good!!!...

4_ T H E N O S F E R A T U :
|
|||
|
|
They are controlled by 3 vampires: Jean, Eric, and
|
|||
|
|
Laurent. They sleep in the catacombs and control all the other
|
|||
|
|
"dwellers under the sky" (the sky is in fact the stones above their
|
|||
|
|
head.). All the Cataphiles (cata: catacombes, philes:love. It is the
|
|||
|
|
name of the people who come to this place, and respect it.
|
|||
|
|
On the other hand "Tourists", are people who go there and trash the
|
|||
|
|
place.) are they herd, and some of them are retainers. They are
|
|||
|
|
regrouped in groups like: the deepcats, The psi-div (servants of the
|
|||
|
|
3 elders). Or they just have a underground name:Gandalf,Gizmo,La Taupe
|
|||
|
|
Legolas(they are the psi-div) others are cataclisme, cataract, caton,
|
|||
|
|
etc... Nobody knows how many there are, but they have all 2 things in
|
|||
|
|
common: they love the Catacombs, and are ready to defend it! (Once,
|
|||
|
|
there was a skinhead group, who went down. Sometimes later, all the
|
|||
|
|
Cataphiles knew it. (they leave handouts in special places, and the
|
|||
|
|
others can read them.) They all met in one place, and made a "bust"
|
|||
|
|
into the skinheads, who NEVER returned.).
|
|||
|
|
There are around 300 kmsq of tunnels under Paris, and
|
|||
|
|
they where made as a maze. Each tunnel has a name, like on the ground.
|
|||
|
|
But they are different, so there is no hope of getting out. The
|
|||
|
|
Cataphiles made maps of the place, but give them only to their
|
|||
|
|
trusted allies. The IGC (inspection generale des carriers, inspector
|
|||
|
|
of catacombs) patrols the Catas to get every body out(see after);
|
|||
|
|
they can give fines up to 5000 Fr, and if you are in possession of
|
|||
|
|
bones, then it goes to court, and you might have a prison sentence.
|
|||
|
|
Entrances are in fact pits with ladders on their side, at the bottom
|
|||
|
|
there is a corridor. This are about 1.60 m height, the temperature is
|
|||
|
|
fixed all year and around 20 C. There are some rooms, which various
|
|||
|
|
sizes: Z, Zlard, L'abris Laval, La plage.... This is where most of
|
|||
|
|
the cataphiles can be found (generaly partying, and listening to music
|
|||
|
|
like Dead Can Dance, And Also The Tree, or more "cold wave" stuff).
|
|||
|
|
The Nosferatu fight against the Ventrue of Paris over
|
|||
|
|
the cata, since the mayor of Paris (Jack Chirac is blood bonded to
|
|||
|
|
Labianus) wants to closed them forever. The IGC is their weapon.
|
|||
|
|
Their relation with the Toreadors is good, even if their clans are
|
|||
|
|
enemies. It is said that Eric and Arnaud were very good friends in
|
|||
|
|
the past, and they still see each other from time to time.
|
|||
|
|
They live under the Monparnass Graveyard, among the
|
|||
|
|
rest of those who fell during the Commune. Some strange facts about
|
|||
|
|
Jean, Eric, and Laurent is that no one has ever seen then. It is
|
|||
|
|
wispered that they are so horrible that they cause fear in mortals
|
|||
|
|
and great uneasiness among kindred. They, in fact, look as if there
|
|||
|
|
were no flesh between there skin and their bones. Along with their
|
|||
|
|
Nosferatu appearance, they look like Undead from your worst
|
|||
|
|
nightmare! It is said that they all have the corruption touch, and
|
|||
|
|
that plants, and small animals die from their touch.

BACKGROUNDS NOTES: Back in the old days, when I was studing in Poland
|
|||
|
|
I found the most beautyfull lady ever! I loved her so much, but she
|
|||
|
|
went away with another...my sadness had no limit. It was in 1556 in
|
|||
|
|
the Yagelon University in Krakow that I saw her again, but she found
|
|||
|
|
someone else to love, another women! But these days are over now and
|
|||
|
|
she is dust...I still live, remember her and cry.
|
|||
|
|
I can speak many languages, and I travelled a lot, until
|
|||
|
|
I found Paris, and it's kingdom of the dead! My doom is too great
|
|||
|
|
to carry, and no one will ever see me again; but they can still hear my
|
|||
|
|
voice, that chills their unearthly blood!
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: Ever seen the nosferatu page 54 of WoD? Well he is even worse.
|
|||
|
|
ROLE PLAYING: Be strange, make everyone feel uneasy (especialy women).
|
|||
|
|
Then, change and be happy for a minute or so...

BACKGROUND: I received the curse by the same Sire as Jean, and so we
|
|||
|
|
knew each other from the start! But what a curse! I cannot walk among
|
|||
|
|
the beauty of the world, since I am one of their most ugly things. But
|
|||
|
|
what a benediction, my lore of the world is so great that nothing
|
|||
|
|
is unknown to me...well somethings are but you know what I mean!
|
|||
|
|
One of my few children is living in the Opera House, he
|
|||
|
|
has even a book written about him! I will always be happy to see
|
|||
|
|
some of my clan, who love art! In fact, we should be the artistes of the
|
|||
|
|
undead, the Toreadors should consider our feeling and acept us as
|
|||
|
|
true "lovers" of Art! Many of us already sleep under the most beautyful
|
|||
|
|
Cathedrals of Paris!
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: well hard to guess....
|
|||
|
|
ROLE PLAYING: You have an integral culture on art. You know true
|
|||
|
|
ugliness, therefore you know beauty. You know a lot and hate it when
|
|||
|
|
someone corrects you, BUT the problem is that you have a very bad
|
|||
|
|
memory...

|
|
he hates theater. "Theater cannot give you the deep emotions and
|
|||
|
|
feelings that a camera can" as he says. He is in love with a mortal,
|
|||
|
|
but loves her too much to inflicte the Curse on her. If something
|
|||
|
|
happens to her, he will hunt and kill, in the most horrible way, the
|
|||
|
|
offender.
|
|||
|
|
He gives money to some cinemas, especialy the Max Linder
|
|||
|
|
Panoram (he owns it, as a matter of fact). He is in on his way to
|
|||
|
|
Golconda, and will reach it very soon. In fact, some say that he is
|
|||
|
|
a member of the inconnu (this is untrue).
|
|||
|
|
(since he never speaks, this was recored by Eric)
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: .....If I say: appearence of 5, you won't belive me.
|
|||
|
|
ROLE PLAYING: He will never speak, nor be seen. But he can be
|
|||
|
|
"sensed" (with very hight Auspex, or by luck) in a cinema. (He is in
|
|||
|
|
love with "Piero le fou" by Godard, and will see it whenever it is
|
|||
|
|
playing. )

BACKGROUND:Ever heard of the Phantome de l'Opera? (phantom of the
|
|||
|
|
Opera?). Well he is the one. His herd are the workers of the Opera.
|
|||
|
|
He has forgotten that he is a Kindred and feeds in a second state (he
|
|||
|
|
cannot remember feeding...).
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: He has the most elegant clothes in this time, and wear a white
|
|||
|
|
mask over his face, as well as a hat. He can take care of some very
|
|||
|
|
good singers and become their Mentor for sometime. He will NEVER
|
|||
|
|
reveil his vampiric nature, even to a kindred. He will go into
|
|||
|
|
frenzy if someone refers to him as: Vampire, Kindred, Cainite,
|
|||
|
|
Nosferatu...
|
|||
|
|
ROLE PLAYING: He will speak to no one, but other singers. You know
|
|||
|
|
you are far from better that them, so you require respect. Act like a
|
|||
|
|
father watching his sons.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There are little nosferatu in Paris, but most of them
|
|||
|
|
are art lovers, and live in the catas, or under cathedrals, or
|
|||
|
|
covents.

BACKGROUND: I came here to follow a girl. I killed her parents, in a
|
|||
|
|
frenzy and now I feel responsable for her. I am trying to help every
|
|||
|
|
one around (prostitutes, homeless), and I try to protect them
|
|||
|
|
from the evil of mankind. Now go away, I don't like you! I diableriesed
|
|||
|
|
a Tzamesee, so I learned her dicipline, and made myself pretty again..
|
|||

(ST note: I was feeling generous!!!).

3_ T H E M A L K A V I A N S.
|
|||
|
|
The Malkavians has two very distinct groups in Paris:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(i) The first is called thor et a dhor: They control all the clubs
|
|||
|
|
around and in Paris. They are the "next generation of artists".
|
|||
|
|
They will enter frenzy, if the name Toreador is pronounced in their
|
|||
|
|
presence: They are caitiffes who thinks they have a clan! as Benoit,
|
|||
|
|
their leader says. They will never attack the Toreadors, because of
|
|||
|
|
logic no one understands. Some whisper that The former Prince was a
|
|||
|
|
Malkavian, and that Villon killed him to take control. (this is
|
|||
|
|
untrue, the former Prince was a Ventrue: Labianus!).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(ii) The second are more "classic", if such thing has ever existed.
|
|||
|
|
They are ruled by the youngest vampire ever made! he is 15th
|
|||
|
|
generation and 3 years old! She has a nurse, Tatiana, who was
|
|||
|
|
embrased after she lost her child. In fact it is her who has
|
|||
|
|
convinced the others to have a baby at their head. "la verite sort
|
|||
|
|
de la bouche des enfants" (truth comes from children's mouths) is her
|
|||
|
|
moto.
|
|||
|
|
They are have all one thing in common: they are NOT
|
|||
|
|
mad.... they are completly insane, behond any hope of understanding.
|
|||
|
|
They are even more stange over here than any where else!

BACKGROUND: I lead the Thor et a Dhors of Paris! Don't let the Caitifes
|
|||
|
|
who called themselves of our clan misjudge me position. I let Villon
|
|||
|
|
be Prince, because it is too much hassel to me. I've already got my club
|
|||
|
|
to worry about! I am also the secret leader of the Anarchs...don't tell
|
|||
|
|
it to anybody, even they don't know about it!
|
|||
|
|
My history is simple: there is no such thing as the Past, and it is
|
|||
|
|
raining today. Lovely sound of the cars outside. Leave me now,
|
|||
|
|
I have to see my fiancee, Karine ( a 7 generation, owner of the Zenith),
|
|||
|
|
Did I tell you that she was my child? No, probably not; but we are the
|
|||
|
|
Blood Oath together, and I might even taste her tonight! Did you ever
|
|||
|
|
share blood with one of our kind? No, it is a pitty, it is great fun!
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: Benoit is always dressed in gothic fashion. He has black hair,
|
|||
|
|
and wears lenses (one violet, the other orange.). He is tall and slender.
|
|||
|
|
ROLE PLAYING: You will always say what you want according to your own
|
|||
|
|
logic, the problem is that no one understands it! (apart from Olivier
|
|||
|
|
another of your children).

BACKGROUND: So you want to know who I am? Well, let's say that
|
|||
|
|
I loved to be Feanor. You don't know him? he is a dude, from the
|
|||
|
|
Lord of the Rings. Never played Volley Ball, so I cannot be
|
|||
|
|
him...but I still would like to be. I control the parisian of the FEE
|
|||
|
|
(faculte des etudes elfiques, Elven studies university), and I was in
|
|||
|
|
touch with Professor Tolkien. My ghoul-dog, Bilbo bears his name...
|
|||
|
|
No don't worry about him, he just wants to play, as usual!
|
|||
|
|
Look, if there is any bands you wanna see in Paris, I'm the
|
|||
|
|
guy to se, I know it all!
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: Black hair, and dressed in expensive clothes, he is
|
|||
|
|
always in black, with a pullover (with many small holes in it!)
|

BACKGROUND: She was embrased after a having an abortion. From
|
|||
|
|
that time on, she sired 9 other vampires, all pregnant, at different

|
named Virginie, killed the others and become a 8th generation through
|
|||
|
|
diablerie!
|
|||

|
Of course no one knows this fact! She is blood bonded to Tatiana, so
|
|||
|
|
she won't tell anyone. Virginie is in fact a poor 12 year old girl,
|
|||
|
|
who should have listened to her mom when she told: Never speak to
|
|||
|
|
strangers. The only probleme is that she now thinks she is a nurse
|
|||
|
|
and she doesn't remember her past at all, or does she?
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: Always in a nurses dress, she has red hair and looks very "mean".
|
|||
|
|
ROLE PLAYING: If one of the players plays a child: you will love him
|
|||
|
|
(her)! If not just ignore them as much as you can!

BACKGROUNS: I am amekitac, or something like that, but everybody knows
|
|||
|
|
me and they are all nice to me. (if they are not I will dominate
|
|||
|
|
then to be!). The only probleme is that they all tell me different
|
|||
|
|
stories....and now I am very confused. Will someone help a little girly
|
|||
|
|
like me? (ST:"Who looked into her eyes???")...But I am a spy for the
|
|||
|
|
Sabbat, since all the others a very notty to me!
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: A little 8 year old girl...
|
|||
|
|
ROLE PLAYING: Be annoying, it will do very well.
|
|||
|
|
VINCULUM: 4 for all the Sabbat pack of Paris, but they only
|
|||
|
|
have 2 for her....
|
|||
|
|
NOTES: Short/child/concentration/iron will/anesia/obsession.
|
|||
|
|
On iron will, I am using another rule which is as follows:
|
|||
|
|
"you resist at your willpower + 3, and every point you spend (of
|
|||
|
|
willpower), your "dominator" loses a success. It worked very well!
|
|||
|
|
Make sure you know about this if you are playing! Nathaniel has the
|
|||
|
|
same advantage (cf Ventrue).

|
|
They are the founder of Paris, citee des lumieres.
|
|||
|
|
They control art, models, cinemas, museums, monuments...and half of
|
|||
|
|
the world's fashions. One word from their prince, Sire Francois Villon,
|
|||
|
|
makes a vampire the cream of the cream; or nearly nothing! The clan
|
|||
|
|
has control Paris politics till the Religion Wars. The Ventrue
|
|||
|
|
controled the Guise and Henri IV, the toreadors controlled the Valois
|
|||
|
|
family. During this time, the inquisition arrived in Paris and a war
|
|||
|
|
on kindred was set. A conclave was held in Rome, and the Toreadors
|
|||
|
|
lost Paris to the Ventrue: Henry IV become the king, and ended the
|
|||
|
|
wars. Sometime later, the Ventrue areed to let the Toreadors have
|
|||
|
|
the Louvre (the old palace of the king). They built Versaille, so
|
|||
|
|
they could have a eye on all the nobility of France, under their
|
|||
|
|
ghoul: Louis XIV!. He has lived for a long time due to his vampiric
|
|||
|
|
powers, but became a vampire. He died of the final death, in the Paris
|
|||
|
|
commune, killed by a member of the the Sabbat.
|
|||
|
|
In fact, he was killed by Arnaud, who took his blood! but no one knows
|
|||
|
|
this.
|
|||
|
|
The Louvre was, until now, the pride of the Clan.
|
|||
|
|
F. Villon owns it and is the true master of the clan in Europe. The
|
|||
|
|
Universal Exposition is in fact a Toreador meeting. All the Grande
|
|||
|
|
Couture is controlled by Arnaud. The minister of culture, is a ghoul
|
|||
|
|
of Villon, but is dominated to forget this when he changes functions.

BACKGROUND: I was embrased at the same time as my dear friend Eric.
|
|||
|
|
But, my Sire was far more kind to me, and I kept my body as it was
|
|||
|
|
(in a perfect state I will venture to say). Why my freindship with
|
|||
|
|
Eric continued after our "change"? Whan you faced true Ugliness you
|
|||
|
|
can face true beautty!
|
|||
|
|
My two children know it all, Michaele and Brennec (of the 7
|
|||
|
|
generation.) Brennec cannot force himself to kill his enemies, and
|
|||
|
|
got some Cainites in torpor, and staked in his cellar: he just cannot
|
|||
|
|
kill them (humanity of 10, conscience of 5).
|
|||
|
|
I am indeed, the master of the grande couture, and feed of them.
|
|||
|
|
My only retainer is a little cat, who spies for me. Some say that I
|
|||
|
|
have one or two mortal lovers. But I will NOT sire, because I will
|
|||
|
|
have to admit diablerie, since I will never lie to my children, or
|
|||
|
|
to my children's children.....and so on but some questions will never
|
|||
|
|
be answered...
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: He is a tall and handsome man, try to charm everyone in your
|
|||
|
|
presence. He has dark hair, green eyes, and a tanned skin. He is
|
|||
|
|
aways dressed in the more subtle way to make another person have
|
|||
|
|
good intetions towards him. He speaks with a very gentle and charming
|
|||
|
|
voice.
|
|||
|
|
ROLEPLAYING: Be as sophisticated as you can, try to seduce all the
|
|||
|
|
women you are near, but always with charm and as a gentleman.

==============================================================================

|
6_ T H E T R E M E R E :
|
|||
|
|
The clan has a deep hate for Paris, as they were not
|
|||
|
|
able to go there for a long time due to the importance of the
|
|||
|
|
Magi infulence. (they hate the Tremere for they turned into blood
|
|||
|
|
suckers!!). This past few years, the Elders of the clan have managed
|
|||
|
|
to convinced Villon to get them into the city. The Prince agreed on
|
|||
|
|
one condition: All the tremere, leaving or passing through Paris
|
|||
|
|
must NOT use any magic, and must have a Obsfuscat/Ritual that will
|
|||
|
|
hide him/her to the spells of the Magi. Failure will be followed by
|
|||
|
|
a Blood Hunt on all the clan in Paris. The Ventrue have agreed to
|
|||
|
|
help the Toreadors if such a Hunt is called. The gangrel will help,
|
|||
|
|
but they will not say it. (secretly Villon hopes that it will happend
|
|||
|
|
and he might even set something up... He hates beeing pushed around)
|
|||
|
|
The Elders have agreed to these terms, because they are
|
|||
|
|
so happy to set their agents to Paris, and work their plans. There
|
|||
|
|
is a Chantry in Paris now: Its head is Abelard, known to be a
|
|||
|
|
powerful wizard, and blood mage. Any Tremere going to Paris will have
|
|||
|
|
to go to the Elders who will cast a ritual on him/her. This ritual
|
|||
|
|
will "hide" the vampire to the Arcanum defences, but that is all. See
|
|||
|
|
The Magi of Paris, for more informations.
|
|||
|
|
The Elders plan for Paris is to learn more about the
|
|||
|
|
Toreador power, and why they have so much influence over all the
|
|||
|
|
others. They suspect an ancient to sleep under Paris and want to know
|
|||
|
|
who is she/he! The Settites have made contact with them, and offered
|
|||
|
|
their help! ?WHY? The Elders MUST know who is behind Paris.
|
|||
|

BACKGROUND:( If you are looking for a good guy: see someone else!)
|
|||
|
|
I was born to my new life in God's year 1792, in Spain. My
|
|||
|
|
Sire and mentor were very nice to me (poor fool even let me free of the
|
|||
|
|
Blood Bond!), and he taught me a lot about my new powers...
|
|||
|
|
Now I was the Master of the Ars Magica; I could learn everything and
|
|||
|
|
be the Most Powerful, and then take control of the Orders of Hermes.
|
|||
|
|
For 150 years, we travelled the lands and the seas seeking powerful place
|
|||
|
|
to perform powerful rituals, but lo! one day my "beloved" sire did
|
|||
|
|
a spell I could never do, because of my generation (7th at the time).
|
|||
|
|
I went away and cried for nights over my lost hope. BUT a member of
|
|||
|
|
the Sabbat saw me, and told that me I could take the blood of my sire,
|
|||
|
|
and become more powerful through diableri.
|
|||
|
|
I killed the poor fool, and drank his blood, but nothing
|
|||
|
|
happened, I was still a 7th. I set a trap for my sire and in june
|
|||
|
|
1900 drank his blood; thus becoming a 6th!!!!!
|
|||
|
|
My plan was never discovered, and the Elders belive
|
|||
|
|
the story I told them (we were attacted by some hunters, and my
|
|||
|
|
sire met the final death on that day!).
|
|||
|
|
I won't use my powers, unless my "life" depends on it. I
|
|||
|
|
remember one night, I had to kill some Dogs (read Lupines, some of the
|
|||
|
|
Lady's freinds), but it was the only time.
|
|||
|
|
The Elders of the clan see me as a great mage, but
|
|||
|
|
there is something strange about my ways. He hasn't witnessed a sun
|
|||
|
|
rise, because of my ability to conceal my actions, but the council
|
|||
|
|
will be more happy if they could know a bit more about me. They send me
|
|||
|
|
to Paris because I might make a false move: then Villon will order a
|
|||
|
|
Hunt on me, and the council will blame the Toreadors.
|
|||
|
|
I was approached by the Settites to uncover the corpse
|
|||
|
|
of one of them, hidden in France in torpor. They are looking for more
|
|||
|
|
information, and I think that when the Ancient is found; I will
|
|||
|
|
expose the Settites to the Prince (thus gaining prestige, and
|
|||
|
|
wiping out my potential enemies). I think that the Ancient is a
|
|||
|
|
Methuselah, and if that is the case, with the ritual of the bitter rose
|
|||
|
|
I think I will be the True Master of the clan!
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: He is a tall Spanish-type guy, in his 50s. Aways wearing a
|
|||
|
|
black suit from Chanel, and the most expensive aftershave on the
|
|||
|
|
market.
|
|||
|
|
ROLE PLAYING: You are a Master among Slaves: You respect only those
|
|||
|
|
who have more power than you. The others are your slaves! You will
|
|||
|
|
try to hide your feelings, but if they notice it, never mind they are
|
|||
|
|
just slaves.
|
|||

|
|

===============================================================================
|

|
|
7_T H E V E N T R U E :
|
|||
|
|
The clan got control of France after the religious wars,
|
|||
|
|
but they had to wait till Louis XIV became king to really have a hand
|
|||
|
|
on Paris; and therefore on France. Even if Villon is the Prince, he
|
|||
|
|
has to consult the clan to get anything which isn't art done. Villon
|
|||
|
|
hates this situation and will do anything to wipe out the Ventrue from
|
|||
|
|
his city, and France! By some allience with the Brujah clan, the
|
|||
|
|
prince managed to weaken the Ventrue, and now they control few
|
|||
|
|
important people around Paris.
|
|||
|
|
The clan meets in Versaille, every Sunday, to debate on
|
|||
|
|
the affairs of the state. But the clan is weak, and hasn't got the power
|
|||
|
|
to face the Toreadors. But they try to gain control of other clans.
|
|||
|
|
The Nosferatu are an easy aim, since the Toreadors won't help them!
|
|||
|
|
afterwhich the Malkavians, and the Gangrel. They plan to make each clan in
|
|||
|
|
their debt, then call for a conclave, and attack the Toreadors. Well
|
|||
|
|
this is for the future, because the clan is weak and waits for "new
|
|||
|
|
blood". This is due to the intervention of the Brujah clan over this
|
|||
|
|
200 years.
|
|||
|
|
They are lead by an old vampire, since his name
|
|||
|
|
is Labianus, he was Caesar's general, who in 52BC took
|
|||
|
|
Lutece (old name of Paris).

BACKGROUND: I was one of Caesars lieutenants, and the only one left!
|
|||
|
|
I went into torpor soon after being embrased and awoke some 1200
|
|||
|
|
years after. When I saw that my beloved city was a TOREADOR PLACE, I
|
|||
|
|
took imediate action: The War of Religion was set, and I showed them
|
|||
|
|
all!
|
|||
|
|
But after the inquisition days, I was quite happy to welcome
|
|||
|
|
the allience, and left Paris to the Toreador who gave France
|
|||
|
|
to the clan. I still want to see Paris free from this Degenerates,
|
|||
|
|
but the Beast is strong in me, and I know that one day I will hunt
|
|||
|
|
Villon and kill him! I CANNOT order a Blood Hunt on anyone, and this
|
|||
|
|
has made me despair for so long.....
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: He was a soldier, and is still one! Always in an uniform, and
|
|||
|
|
the general grade. Rather short, but muscular, he is a warrior of old.
|
|||
|
|
His dark skin and hair would reveal his mediteranian origin, if his
|
|||
|
|
accent was less pronouced.
|
|||
|
|
ROLE PLAYING: You are the best warrior ever and proud of it. If the
|
|||
|
|
one you speak to is a soldier, you will respect him; if it is
|
|||
|
|
civilian: They won't know what you are saying, so take time
|
|||
|
|
explaining things to them. ("You know a 44 desert eagle, the gun not
|
|||
|
|
the bird!").

The political situation of Paris was kown by the

setites for a long time, and now they made their first move to find

out why! They suppose it is because of an old setite, who is in torpor

|
under Paris, but who still influences the rest of the city (and France.)
|

|

They sent 5 setites to Paris, with the aim to discover who is the

|||
|
|
Elder, and bring him back to Egypt.
|
|||
|
|
They haven't told Villon they are in Paris, and if
|
|||
|
|
he knew of this in his city, he would order a Blood Hunt at once.
|
|||
|
|
They keep their temple secret, and no one knows where it is. They have
|
|||
|
|
made contact with Abelard, and gave him some help in the past. He will
|
|||
|
|
protect them in Paris, and help them in their search. Of course, he
|
|||
|
|
was corrupted by the leader of the Setites... his lust for power was
|
|||
|
|
too obvious for ANY setite to miss! It is quiet obvious that he
|
|||
|
|
will be killed when the Elder is found.

BACKGROUND: I was a very nice person, but I was sent in prison...
|
|||
|
|
Well, I net my Sire there and he made me into one of the few followers
|
|||
|
|
of Set!!! I was sent on difficult missions for our God, and I always
|
|||
|
|
succeeded! I ended up in Paris in the 1900 century, but was discovered
|
|||
|
|
by a Nosferatu called Eric, so I left with haste, but now he has
|
|||
|
|
forgotten me and I will have my revenge.
|
|||
|
|
I tested my new reborn power in 1990, by corrupting
|
|||
|
|
a member of the French goverment and making him sign a paper to give
|
|||
|
|
HIV-contaminated blood to some 200 hemophiles! This worked very well,
|
|||
|
|
and all the clans look at the others for an explanation. In fact, they
|
|||
|
|
do not really care, for vampires cannot have AIDS, but the more human
|
|||
|
|
of them want to know who did it! The Sabbat is the first suspect!
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE: She looks like an innocent girl, in her mid 20's. Always a poor
|
|||
|
|
face, which lights when someone takes care of her. Dressed as to
|
|||
|
|
seduce the person you are aiming at, and always talk as to seduce
|
|||
|
|
her/him.
|
|||
|
|
ROLE PLAYING: You are a plotter and a survivor: the others are just
|
|||
|
|
above nothing: If they serve you, ok; if not corrupt them and use
|
|||
|
|
them.... as long as it amuses you.

|||

9_ O T H E R C L A N S :
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1_ASSAMITES:
|
|||
|
|
They have the right to come to Paris, as long as they stick to
|
|||
|
|
the rules. Some might be send to take a job in the Vampire Club, other
|
|||
|
|
could go there to kill a member of any other clan. (F.Villon, Arnaud,
|
|||
|
|
Laurent, and Benoit have escape such assassinations, and are therefore
|
|||
|
|
not concerned.). Sebastien will provide them a haven in his club.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2_GIOVANNI:
|
|||
|
|
None of these rats are ever to enter Paris: if they do, Villon
|
|||
|
|
will order a Hunt at once.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3_RAVNOS:
|
|||
|
|
They are welcome in France, but not in Paris. They can stay
|
|||
|
|
there, but she/he will have to report his activities to a Toreador
|
|||
|
|
every night at 1200. If she/he enters the Louvre to steal something, he
|
|||
|
|
will find himself/herself watching the sun rise! They can steal any
|
|||
|
|
other things, but art is forbidden. (ie a diamond:ok, a painting:final
|
|||
|
|
death!).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4_SALUBRI:
|
|||
|
|
This kindred will tend not to go to Paris, it is a city which
|
|||
|
|
is great, from a long distance. Each Salubri who dreams about Paris
|
|||
|
|
will have his worst nightmare. They are able to sense that there is
|
|||
|
|
something strange about that city.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5_THE SABBAT:
|
|||
|
|
They are few in Paris, and their power is weak. But they will
|
|||
|
|
try to start a conflict among the other clans as soon as they see
|
|||
|
|
an occation. They made an alliance with a pack of Black Spiral Dancers
|
|||
|
|
who are trying to fullfill their own schemes... They are a pack of 5
|
|||
|
|
vampires. They all leave in a communal Heaven in the sewers (the
|
|||
|
|
Nosferatu don't live there!!!), they have another heaven, in an old
|
|||
|
|
church inside Paris, but they will use it only in emergencies. They
|
|||
|
|
are the Templates of the PGttS (if you haven't got the book; go and
|
|||
|
|
buy it! it is worth the money...), with the following modifications:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Richard: the assamite antitribu. (quietus 4, generation 4,
|
|||
|
|
browl 4, dodge 4, celerity 3.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Virginia: the city gangrel antitribu. ( celerity 2, protean 4,
|
|||
|
|
generation 4, brawl 3, finance 2.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Vincent: the Lasombra. (dominate 3, obtenebration 5,
|
|||
|
|
generation 6, sabbat status 3, pack recog 3, leadership 5,
|
|||
|
|
subterfuge 5, finance 4.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Gerard: the malkavian antitribu. (Auspex 4, dementation 4,
|
|||
|
|
animalism 2, dexterity 4, perception 5, stealth 4.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Anne: the Tzimisce priest. (Vicissitude 6, Thaumaturgy 3,
|
|||
|
|
fire ways 3, generation 6, manipulation 5, charisma 5,
|
|||
|
|
occult 4, subterfuge 4, investigation 3.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Their Vinculums are as followed, the first row is the
|
|||
|
|
value of the mane, the column indicates for who (eg: Richard got a
|
|||
|
|
Vinculum of 9 for Anne. She got a 7...poor Richard!!):

"...When will you rage!"
|
|||
|
|
A garou.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1_ T H E G A R O U :
|
|||
|
|
There is a brood of garous living in the forest near Paris.
|
|||
|
|
They are weak, due to vampire presence, but are still important.
|
|||
|
|
Their aim is to hunt down the Wyrm of Paris! This is a great (and
|
|||
|
|
foolish) task! The only trees in Paris are mutants! Paris is a
|
|||
|
|
stronghold for the Wyrm, the Defence, is their dwelling place.
|
|||
|
|
Companies have their GHQ there, and it is easy to corrupt them. In fact
|
|||
|
|
it is easier to corrupt people here!.
|
|||
|
|
The leader of the brood, Melodie, is a very good friend with
|
|||
|
|
a vampire (the Lady of Arbanville!). The two have known each other for a
|
|||
|
|
long time, and are ready to help the other. Of course this friendship
|
|||
|
|
is not appreciated among other Garou, and Melodie has survived
|
|||
|
|
several challenges on that! Nevertheless the allience between the two is
|
|||
|
|
working pretty well: The ecologist mvts are developing quite well
|
|||
|
|
(around 18% at the last elections...) and the scouts of Paris are
|
|||
|
|
doing more and more things to help Gaia. (meetings, advertising,
|
|||
|
|
etc...). BUT the Lady told the Garou of an evil presence in town:
|
|||
|
|
Abelard, a Vampire/mage of great power. His arrival corresponded to
|
|||
|
|
the arrival of a pack of Black Spiral Dancers, that is what causes
|
|||
|
|
the uneasiness among the garou. Why are they here? Are they related
|
|||
|
|
to Abelard? What are they looking for?
|
|||
|
|
Melodie, is a female garou, very calm and intelligent.
|
|||
|
|
She knows when to rage and when to use her brain. She is an Homid, and
|
|||
|
|
is quiet good looking. She lives in the Mie de Pain (a shelter for
|
|||
|
|
homeless in Paris) and half the staff are also Garou. They serve a
|
|||
|
|
meal every evening to all who come there. They are helped by some
|
|||
|
|
scouts (Who were sent by the Lady, but they don't know it.).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|||
|
|
We could hardly ask anyone, even
|
|||
|
|
If we wish to, to accept this as proof
|
|||
|
|
of so wild story.

2_T H E H O L Y I N Q U I S I T I O N.
|
|||
|
|
Use the vampire hunter of Gary as the head of the Paris
|
|||
|
|
inquisition. He knows of vampires, and of magi. He has been more
|
|||
|
|
oriented to fight the magi (he still belives they are demonologists).
|
|||
|
|
He hasn't got many powers, but he is spyed on by Jean or his retainers.
|
|||
|
|
Following is a list of ideas for a group of hunters who might
|
|||
|
|
give daymares to your players:

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. A TEAM! Who in their right minds would want to hunt alone?
|
|||
|
|
For the exact same reason vampires form into coteries, hunters
|
|||
|
|
should create there own circles. Recruiting should be reasonably
|
|||
|
|
high on the list of priorities, putting together a group with
|
|||
|
|
a wide range of skills and resources. Suggested group members
|
|||
|
|
should be:
|
|||
|
|
-The bankroller: The person who has all the cash, a spoiled rich
|
|||
|
|
kid that does it for fun or maybe a tired old man who's devoted
|
|||
|
|
his life to the hunt. Through this cash supply, the hunters will
|
|||
|
|
have access to the absolute best weapons money can buy. Another
|
|||
|
|
idea is to have the hunters bankrolled by the government, a
|
|||
|
|
corporation (Weird R' Us Department) or by organized crime (a
|
|||
|
|
mortal drug dealer who's tired of following orders). Whatever
|
|||
|
|
the money source, it'll allow the players to get some of the
|
|||
|
|
neat toys listed later on.
|
|||
|
|
-Contact person: Could be the same guy as the bankroller, doesn't
|
|||
|
|
have to be. Sure, a vampire controls city government, but is it
|
|||
|
|
the one you're hunting? If not, then your contact man can get the
|
|||
|
|
local police to harass the vampire you are after. He can also go
|
|||
|
|
through the city records system and find a lot of havens. Might
|
|||
|
|
even be able to get some media attention to endanger the
|
|||
|
|
masquerade.
|
|||
|
|
-Occultist: Magick can be a great equalizer against the vampires.
|
|||
|
|
A decent occultist should at the very least be able to help spot
|
|||
|
|
any vampires, and probably help with the tracking. They should
|
|||
|
|
also be able to foil certain attacks, and place alarm wards around
|
|||
|
|
the hunters base, making it hard for the undead or their servants
|
|||
|
|
to catch the hunters by surprise.
|
|||
|
|
-Techie: This is something that is often neglected, in my opinion.
|
|||
|
|
People tend to rely on off the shelf items, but why not find
|
|||
|
|
someone who can help you out by making designer hunting tools? A
|
|||
|
|
flamethrower is WWI tech, any decent shop instructor could crank
|
|||
|
|
out an unreliable one himself. Tech's should also have some type
|
|||
|
|
of chemistry skill, so he can mix up a nice little batch of
|
|||
|
|
plastique or thermite or something similar to surprise a vampire
|
|||
|
|
when he starts his car.
|
|||
|
|
-Detective: Somebody good at shadowing, spotting the undead, and
|
|||
|
|
tracing the indicators of their existence. Somebody who can also,
|
|||
|
|
if necessary, help find replacements for any of the hunters who
|
|||
|
|
happen to buy it.
|
|||
|
|
-Butt kicker: Somebody who can use all the neat guns and stuff
|
|||
|
|
the hunters can have. Also should be physically effective, not
|
|||
|
|
that he could take the vampires in hand to hand (although a Navy
|
|||
|
|
SEAL should be able to take you average (i.e. non-combat monster)
|
|||
|
|
vampire. Somebody to actually pound the stake in, or to actually
|
|||
|
|
fire the rocket launcher into the haven.
|
|||
|
|
2: Good planning. Just because the players are often disorganized
|
|||
|
|
or divided against each other doesn't mean the hunters should be.
|
|||
|
|
These guys are professionals, and presumably very good at what they
|
|||
|
|
do. Not only do they know all the tricks, but they should come up
|
|||
|
|
with new ones as the situation warrants. Booby traps, terrorist
|
|||
|
|
tactics, ambushes, and other dirty tricks should all be high on
|
|||
|
|
their list of things to do. Also, keep them ruthless. These guys
|
|||
|
|
are fighting their very own Holy War, they shouldn't be worrying
|
|||
|
|
about civilians. Blowing up apartment buildings to get at the one
|
|||
|
|
kindred haven on the top floor is not outside their potential. Car
|
|||
|
|
bombs are distributed like party favors, and they take great pains
|
|||
|
|
to always insure that it is one kindred versus half a dozen well
|
|||
|
|
armed, highly trained kine in a venue of their choosing.
|
|||
|
|
3: Appropriate weapons. What's up with all these hammers and
|
|||
|
|
wooden stakes? Not a chance in today's world, buddy. Assault
|
|||
|
|
weapons, heavy pistols, and grenades can immobilize a kindred if
|
|||
|
|
used well. Flamethrowers are hard to buy commercially, but there
|
|||
|
|
is a black market and the technology really isn't advanced. For
|
|||
|
|
capture, there's always crossbows and spearguns, many of which are
|
|||
|
|
strong enough to punch through steel. A high powered rifle and a
|
|||
|
|
telescopic sight makes a great tool for softening up a vampire
|
|||
|
|
before your teammates move in, three or four shots to the head and
|
|||
|
|
chest should leave him low on blood and at least wounded. Tasers
|
|||
|
|
don't work (as far as I know) nor does mace, but an acid sprayer
|
|||
|
|
will do the job on a vampires eyes. Nail guns could be modified
|
|||
|
|
to throw small spikes, and keep in mind the kindreds extreme fear
|
|||
|
|
of fire. Hair spray is a nasty weapon in trained hands.
|
|||
|
|
4: Tactics- Different than organization and planning, this allows
|
|||
|
|
hunters to use attacks the kindred can't. Drive buy shootings
|
|||
|
|
work, because the hunters know who's kindred and who isn't.
|
|||
|
|
Admittedly, it's hard to kill a vampire with guns, but a dozen
|
|||
|
|
shotgun shells will slow him down and make him a little less
|
|||
|
|
cocky.
|
|||
|
|
5: Daytime movement- the hunters best weapon. If the hunters
|
|||
|
|
find out where the kindred live, no matter what the kindred's
|
|||
|
|
defenses, she can be killed. You've got ghouls, the hunters
|
|||
|
|
kill or disable the ghouls. You've got dogs, the dogs are toast.
|
|||
|
|
You've got the best alarm system money can buy, the hunters have
|
|||
|
|
a mad scientist techie that can circumvent it. You sleep in a
|
|||
|
|
lead lined steel bank vault, the hunters can either break in or
|
|||
|
|
seal it shut. Locking a vampire in forever is almost as good
|
|||
|
|
as killing it.
|
|||
|
|
Or say you have no haven and sleep out doors. No problem.
|
|||
|
|
the hunters follow you to the spot where you earth meld one night,
|
|||
|
|
and spend the day preparing for your reemergence. They coat ...
|
|||
|
|
oh, how about a twenty foot radius circle around where you went
|
|||
|
|
under with about an inch of beeswax, tar, napalm, or even silly
|
|||
|
|
string. When you emerge into the night, they light it up,
|
|||
|
|
simultaneously blasting you to bits with their shotguns. You
|
|||
|
|
get away by earth melding, no problem. They come back the next
|
|||
|
|
night and do it again.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I guess the important thing is to give your hunters a fair shake.
|
|||
|
|
They might not all be Rambo, but they should be able to kick some butt.
|
|||
|
|
Give the hunters as much credit as you give to any of the vampires,
|
|||
|
|
and they should do okay.
|
|||
|
|
Good inspiration for hunter teams:
|
|||
|
|
Sneakers
|
|||
|
|
A-Team
|
|||
|
|
Ghostbusters
|
|||
|
|
The terrorists from either of the Die Hard movies.
|
|||
|
|
NOT the Frog brothers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Here is a list of a hunters who lives in Paris, their leader:
|
|||
|
|
Father Vairnom and his "followers/allies/hunters" who helps him. A poor
|
|||
|
|
kine was embrased a year ago by a vampire of Paris. He went mad, and
|
|||
|
|
tryed to see a priest (to help him finding a way to redemption). BUT
|
|||
|
|
alas, he found Vairnom; who imprisoned him and did some experiments
|
|||
|
|
on him: fire, light, stake, power of the cross, holy water.... The
|
|||
|
|
poor priest lost his mind, and thinks of himself as "the armed arm of
|
|||
|
|
GOD". For him all vampires are evil and must be destroyed: There is
|
|||
|
|
starvation in Somalia, because of vampires; war in middle est, because
|
|||
|
|
of vampire; (insert what you don't like), because of vampires. He
|
|||
|
|
burned the poor kindred who sought help, and try to hunt down his sire:
|
|||
|
|
(who ever you want him to hunt!! a player perhaps?).
|
|||
|
|
He managed to get some help from some other parisians, who
|
|||
|
|
belive in the danger of kindred! They do not know how many they are,
|
|||
|
|
and think that the sire is the last one in Paris!

and don't seek their death. His true faith is also an expression of his

overidden, if the player/vampire does not belive in his power (or tries

to corrupt him.) his companions are average and of No help whatsoever.

Paris is (and was) a great place for magi, rituals are
|
|||
|
|
easier to perform and there is much lore to be found in the libraries
|
|||
|
|
of the Orders og Hermess. Their main plot (as regard to Cainites) is
|
|||
|
|
to know a little more about the Tremere Clan. They will let them come
|
|||
|
|
to Paris, then capture some leaders and question them! Well this is a
|
|||
|
|
good plan, even if the Tremere have some powerful rituals they
|
|||
|
|
cannot yet break. They know of Abelard and will try to get him for
|
|||
|
|
interrogation! the ony problem is that the Order is divided as what
|
|||
|
|
to do after: Kill him, or make him a slave, or maybe take immortality
|
|||
|
|
from him.
|
|||
|
|
As Magi is not out yet, this might (actually will) change. But
|
|||
|
|
the basic idea will still be there. Since I don't know of any
|
|||
|
|
clans/orders/??? I cannot tell you who is the leader or anything else,
|
|||
|
|
sorry.

Paris, city of light, is in fact a city of darkness.
|
|||
|
|
Corruption is easy in Paris. Anything has it's price, is true in
|
|||
|
|
Paris. All living or undead person in Paris will or are be open to
|
|||
|
|
the touche of corruption, or will corrupt others. Only those will
|
|||
|
|
hight humanity (humanity of 10, councence of 5, or Golconda) will be
|
|||
|
|
immunue to this effect. Note that this is NOT apparent, you (as ST),
|
|||
|
|
must make the climat of Paris as dark as you can.
|
|||
|
|
The ST will have to show Paris on two different
|
|||
|
|
aspects: The first; the beautifull city. La citee des arts, glitering
|
|||
|
|
and lovly. (as in the vampire club, the louvre, etc...). This is where
|
|||
|
|
art express itself. The Toreadors must remain in power, or this dream
|
|||
|
|
will fade! Villon knows it, but still wonders WHY? This is the Paris
|
|||
|
|
you will see in tourist guides, on postcards, and blablablabla.
|
|||
|
|
the second; Paris the pit! corruption, gangs, homeless, blablabla.
|
|||
|
|
It is the Paris of the "cours des miracles" (think the right
|
|||
|
|
translation is Court of the miracles, it was a court of beggars in
|
|||
|
|
the ?? century). you must show your player both sides, and swap from
|
|||
|
|
one to the other as they cross a street, or change tube!
|
|||
|
|
Why the Toreadors didn't "clean" the city and made it
|
|||
|
|
a haven for artistes? well there is an Ancient vampire under Paris.
|
|||
|
|
He walked the earth for millenium, he was sired by Sutekh, in the
|
|||
|
|
Land Of The Pharaons! For millenium he planed total destruction of
|
|||
|
|
the world of the livings, and of the world of the undeads...Now, even
|
|||
|
|
in his unearthly sleep, he still cast a shadow over the small town of
|
|||
|
|
Lutecia, in Gauls. But the truth is far more darker, in his madness
|
|||
|
|
he opened a gate to the Black Lodge; a powerful place, where spirits
|
|||
|
|
meet. He was possessed by a Spirit called Bob, and went into torpor
|
|||
|
|
just after.
|
|||
|
|
Villon is aware that there is something strange in
|
|||
|
|
Paris...He thinks that it might be due to an old and powerful Cainite
|
|||
|
|
but he is not sure. He now suspects that there are powerful spirit
|
|||
|
|
activity and it is the first reason why he allowed the Tremere in
|
|||
|
|
town! He is trying to contact the Inconnue to get their aid, but
|
|||
|
|
had no success so far. One of the future campaine will be set
|
|||
|
|
around the Black Lodge, I'll do it next year (ie 1993/1994). It will
|
|||
|
|
be playtested.

1_The Black Lodge: An Overview.
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
The Black Lodge is a spiritual force from Native American
|
|||
|
|
belief, which has been modernized and corrupted by the dreams of an
|
|||
|
|
increasingly more and more self-gratifying humanity.
|
|||
|
|
The Black Lodge is spiritual location, another plane of
|
|||
|
|
existance closely tied to the earth, but not by the usual linear
|
|||
|
|
earth-type "you get there by going north" fashion. It instead is a
|
|||
|
|
realm inside of dreams, the soul, and the mind. The Black Lodge is a
|
|||
|
|
domain in the Umbra, darkly linked to Gaia. As such, it can be
|
|||
|
|
reached by Garou stepping sideways, but to do so would require a
|
|||
|
|
great expenditure of Willpower and most importantly Rage to reach it,
|
|||
|
|
I, as a ST would take several from each off the character attempting
|
|||
|
|
to force his way into the Lodge, perhaps even making them permanant
|
|||
|
|
losses.
|
|||
|
|
The Black Lodge is a place of Madness. Perhaps at one time it
|
|||
|
|
was pure Wylding madness, but has over time been corrupted by the
|
|||
|
|
Wyrm. It is a place where the Weaver holds no dominion, and realty is
|
|||
|
|
a dream.
|
|||
|
|
Time does not flow linearly within the Lodge. Events can
|
|||
|
|
happen in any order there, effect before cause, effect without a
|
|||
|
|
cause, cause without effect. And time within the lodge relates to
|
|||
|
|
time outside the lodge in the same fashion. If a person is seduced by
|
|||
|
|
the lodge's madness in the year 1990, then it is fair game for the
|
|||
|
|
Lodge Spirits to influence the persons actions in 1940 or 2016, and
|
|||
|
|
within the lodge it will appear that these influences took place
|
|||
|
|
after the persons seduction, usually. There are no hard-and-fast
|
|||
|
|
rules within the lodge. Time is what you make of it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2_Entering the Lodge:
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
There are several known methods of entering the lodge. Garou
|
|||
|
|
may be able to force their way into the Lodge by stepping sideways,
|
|||
|
|
as mentioned above. Doing so would be a costly, and dangerous,
|
|||
|
|
proposition.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Particularily twisted Tremere or Magi might develop a ritual
|
|||
|
|
or spell to allow them access to the Lodge in an attempt to negotiate
|
|||
|
|
with the Lodge spirits in exchange for power. Even the attempt to do
|
|||
|
|
so virtually guarentees the attemptor that s/he will be possesed or
|
|||
|
|
murdered by the Lodge spirits. This does not deter said Magi however,
|
|||
|
|
as their mere desire to enter the Lodge at any point in their life
|
|||
|
|
opens the neccesary doorway for a Lodge spirit to begin directing the
|
|||
|
|
wizard in the direction neccesary to be embraced by the Lodge.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There are locations which exist in nature, similar to Caerns,
|
|||
|
|
which hold portals to the black lodge. These portals open rarely,
|
|||
|
|
usually only once every 50 to 500 years, and are dependant on the
|
|||
|
|
position of the planets. When one of these portals is open, anyone
|
|||
|
|
may enter the Lodge through merely by stepping into the center of the
|
|||
|
|
portal. [The ring of Sycamore trees from the series]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Any one who has been seduced by the Lodge will enter the
|
|||
|
|
lodge in spirit form whenever the Lodge spirit who seduced them
|
|||
|
|
desires. While this is happening, the Lodge spirit will control their
|
|||
|
|
body, making them commit horrendous crimes and acts of evil. The
|
|||
|
|
amount the seduced body/mind recalls of these acts while it is not
|
|||
|
|
being possesed appears to be up to the Lodge Spirit's whim.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also, any one who has been seduced by a Lodge Spirit will
|
|||
|
|
enter the lodge whenever they fall asleep. In these periods, the
|
|||
|
|
Lodge spirit does NOT enter the body, instead the soul roams the
|
|||
|
|
lodge in what will be remembered as a never-ending tensely surreal
|
|||
|
|
recurring dream, in which the individual wanders a limitless series
|
|||
|
|
of identical rooms interacting with evil reflections of people who
|
|||
|
|
have or will play an important part in their life.
|
|||
|
|
Further, since time has no meaning (or perhaps just a meaning
|
|||
|
|
incomprehensible to humans) within the Lodge, anyone who is fated to
|
|||
|
|
someday be seduced by the Lodge can be influenced by Lodge spirits
|
|||
|
|
before their actual seduction, being posessed as above or entering
|
|||
|
|
the lodge in dream-form, as above. [For example, for the year before
|
|||
|
|
his possession, Cooper wandered the Lodge in his dreams on a highly
|
|||
|
|
regular basis]
|
|||
|
|
And lastly, items brought from the Lodge into Gaia may be
|
|||
|
|
used as portals into the Lodge by those who have been or are fated to
|
|||
|
|
be seduced by the Lodge. These items may allow the doomed to enter
|
|||
|
|
the lodge spiritually and/or physically, and the entrance may or may
|
|||
|
|
not be controlled by the doomed. The specifics vary from item to item
|
|||
|
|
and incident to incident. [The photo Mrs. Chalfont gives to Laura
|
|||
|
|
and/or Teresa Banks's ring are good examples of such items]

3_Inside the Lodge: a visual description.
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
Most Caern-like openings into the Lodge and most
|
|||
|
|
dream-passages begin in a part of the Lodge known as The Waiting
|
|||
|
|
Room.
|
|||
|
|
The waiting room is a large room with thick red curtains for
|
|||
|
|
walls and a zig-zag pattern of off-white & off-black stripes on the
|
|||
|
|
floor. It is furnished by three black apolstered chairs, two of them
|
|||
|
|
next to each other, the third a short distance away and facing at a
|
|||
|
|
90 degree angle perpendicular to the other two. The seperate chair is
|
|||
|
|
adjacent to a small black marble end table with a small white marble
|
|||
|
|
sculptur on it. The sculpture appears to be of a planet or
|
|||
|
|
astrological model, but never manages to draw much direct attention.
|
|||
|
|
The chairs in close proximity to one another have a similar endtable
|
|||
|
|
between them, this one lacking a sculpture. And at either end of the
|
|||
|
|
chair/endtable/chair combination stands a tall brass floor lamp.
|
|||
|
|
Behind the chairs is a near-life size white marble statue of a female
|
|||
|
|
nude Coffee is often served in the waiting room, but I wouldn't
|
|||
|
|
recommend drinking it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you pass thru the curtains in any direction you will find
|
|||
|
|
a short hallway, also walled by curtains, and with the same floor.
|
|||
|
|
Passing thru curtains out of this hallway will take you to another
|
|||
|
|
room almost identical to the waiting room. The only difference will
|
|||
|
|
be the furnishings. Apparently an infinite number of rooms such as
|
|||
|
|
this exist, and appear in a totally random order. One is furnished
|
|||
|
|
with a black chair and a single brass lamp, another with nothing but
|
|||
|
|
an ornate silver table, another...etc.
|
|||
|
|
If you continue to travel without a deffinate destination in
|
|||
|
|
mind thru the lodge, you will continue to pass thru room after room
|
|||
|
|
on this order, and most certainly become lost.
|
|||
|
|
However, if you walk with a target location in mind, and are
|
|||
|
|
willing to spend a Willpower, Gnosis, Rage, or HUMANITY point to get
|
|||
|
|
there, you can step thru any curtain and arrive in any location
|
|||
|
|
within the lodge.
|
|||
|
|
Other locations include any entrance room that an artifact
|
|||
|
|
gate or item opens into. Thru these rooms, you MAY be able to exit
|
|||
|
|
the Lodge. These rooms can look like ANYTHING, but probably resemble
|
|||
|
|
the item they are linked to.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The final location is The Meeting Room. This wood-floored
|
|||
|
|
room is where the Lodge spirits get together for reasons
|
|||
|
|
incomprehensible to mankind. This square room is occupied by a small
|
|||
|
|
stage in the corner, several chairs, a dark-colored sofa, and the
|
|||
|
|
infamous green formica table (allso, I could have SWORE I saw a
|
|||
|
|
1960's refrigerator next to one of the chairs).
|
|||
|
|
Possible ways in which the Black Lodge can be used in V:tM :
|
|||
|
|
#1: Much as they were used in the TV show: a bunch of rowdy,
|
|||
|
|
unhuman spirits who drag the PC's into their power struggles as pawns
|
|||
|
|
and/or food.
|
|||
|
|
#2: Another interesting idea might be to make the Black Lodge
|
|||
|
|
= the beast. In this sort of chronicle, all vampires are possessed by
|
|||
|
|
Lodge Spirits when ever they frenzy. All vampire PC's would probably
|
|||
|
|
start out with the Dark Fate flaw. Alternately, you could do this for
|
|||
|
|
lupines, connecting the Black Lodge to the moon and too the Veil.
|
|||
|
|
Either way would work, but I prefer it with the vamps being
|
|||
|
|
possessed, as it fits the concept of them "having no souls" and also
|
|||
|
|
fits well with The Little Man's fascination with green formica
|
|||
|
|
tabletops.
|
|||
|
|
#3: And my final idea for using this, would be to have the
|
|||
|
|
PC's play Lodge spirits. Yeah, you heard me right. This is only
|
|||
|
|
advised if you're dealing only with players who are either very
|
|||
|
|
experienced role-players, or total 'Peaks Freaks. Otherwise, it'd be
|
|||
|
|
VERY difficult for them to stay in character. You've been warned.
|
|||

4_Additional note about entrances into the Black Lodge:
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
Aside from the methods of entrance I noted in my earlier
|
|||
|
|
posting, it seems to me that area's which have become slowly and
|
|||
|
|
gradually charged with wyrm energy become more and more similar to
|
|||
|
|
the lodge, until at last the eventually open a physical threshold
|
|||
|
|
into the Black Lodge. By wyrm energy, I'm not talking about high
|
|||
|
|
powered, split second flashes of evil, but rather, in this case,
|
|||
|
|
lethargic/lecherous energies which continually pervade a location.
|
|||
|
|
[examples from the show include One-Eyed Jacks, the Bang Bang Bar,
|
|||
|
|
and the convenience store in Buenos Aries which Phillip Jeffries
|
|||
|
|
discovered] Such locale's become slowly build up with this energy (a
|
|||
|
|
more appropriate description might be "lack of energy", as these
|
|||
|
|
areas tend to syphon off the intellectual energies of those who
|
|||
|
|
enter, leaving them hollow) over years, until they begin to shift
|
|||
|
|
into looking like the black lodge. The change is gradual, and usually
|
|||
|
|
goes unnoticed by those who frequent such locale's, but garou and
|
|||
|
|
mystics who enter the place for the first time will notice a
|
|||
|
|
metaphysical stench/blanket of laziness charging/smothering it. From
|
|||
|
|
such a location, anyone possessed by a lodge spirit may physically
|
|||
|
|
enter the lodge, but it should be costly in willpower and/or
|
|||
|
|
garmonbozia (see below). Inside the lodge, an analog will slowly
|
|||
|
|
begin to form, a combination of the infested locale and the
|
|||
|
|
red-curtain motif of the lodge.
|
|||
|
|

|||

|
5_The singularity.
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
"Do you know who I am? I am the arm."
|
|||
|
|
- The Little Man From Another Place
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To really stew it all down, there is only ONE lodge spirit.
|
|||
|
|
Only one. It has the ability however to divide itself into lesser
|
|||
|
|
incarnations, more specialized ones. The lodge exists, and it has
|
|||
|
|
it's own goals in mind which it directs the lesser spirits of itself
|
|||
|
|
too, but they can attempt to subvert the goals of the lodge [like The
|
|||
|
|
Giant / The Little Man From Another Place did in the show, trying to
|
|||
|
|
help Cooper avoid being sucked into the Lodge].
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The lodge broke itself off into at least 2 separate spirits,
|
|||
|
|
Bob and Mike, there were probably others. Between each of these were
|
|||
|
|
formed lesser spirits that bridged the gap in their personalities and
|
|||
|
|
foci. In addition, they form more lesser spirits whenever they
|
|||
|
|
possess an individual. Any Lodge Spirit can dissolve any and all of
|
|||
|
|
the lesser spirits which are directly linked to them, but cannot
|
|||
|
|
dissolve those further out, and to do any dissolution is very costly.

6_Garmonbozia.
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
Defined within the context of the movie/series as both "Corn"
|
|||
|
|
and "Pain & Sorrow", Garmonbozia is in a way the food of the Black
|
|||
|
|
Lodgers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In game statistics, Garmonbozia is pooled trait, similar to
|
|||
|
|
blood pool, rage, gnosis, and willpower in that points of it are
|
|||
|
|
spent to utilize supernatural powers. It is different from all of the
|
|||
|
|
above in that it has no set maximum, and that it can take damn near
|
|||
|
|
forever to replenish.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6_Hierarchy.
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
All Black lodgers also have a hierarchy rating, which defines
|
|||
|
|
how far removed they are from the lodge in the same way that
|
|||
|
|
Generation determines how far a cainite is removed from Caine. The
|
|||
|
|
lodge itself has Hierarchy 0, Bob and Mike each have1's or 2's,
|
|||
|
|
Phillip Gerard and Mrs. Tremond's Grandson are 2's or 3's, etc.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
7_Replenishing/Increasing Garmonbozia.
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
There are at least three ways in which Garmonbozia may be
|
|||
|
|
replenished.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The most rewarding is thru possession. If a Black
|
|||
|
|
Lodger is able to possess an individual temporarily, and during that
|
|||
|
|
possession cause them to loose a humanity point, the Black Lodger
|
|||
|
|
will reap great amounts of Garmonbozia from it. The figure I
|
|||
|
|
recommend (But have yet to play-test) is as follows:
|
|||
|
|
Have the possessed make another
|
|||
|
|
humanity roll, this one against a low difficulty (3 thru 5). Failure
|
|||
|
|
on this roll will NOT cause them to loose additional humanity.
|
|||
|
|
Rather, total the number of successes made, and multiply them by
|
|||
|
|
their (pre-possession) humanity score. The result is the number of
|
|||
|
|
Garmonbozia points the lodger gets. (For example, Bob is possessing
|
|||
|
|
Leland. He forces Leland to kill Laura, thereby dropping Leland from
|
|||
|
|
a four to a three humanity. Leland rolls four dice against a
|
|||
|
|
difficulty of 3 and gets two successes. 2 x Leland's prepossession
|
|||
|
|
humanity of 4 = 8, so Bob feeds 8 Garmonbozia points off of it. Had
|
|||
|
|
he forced Cooper {Humanity 10} to kill Annie, he could have
|
|||
|
|
potentially gotten around 70 or 80 points from that one act)
|
|||
|
|
The only other safe way to replenish/build up
|
|||
|
|
Garmonbozia is by absorption from those around you. If a Black
|
|||
|
|
Lodger is able to cause an individual near him emotional pain, he can
|
|||
|
|
psychically suck that sadness/sorrow in for nourishment. To do so, he
|
|||
|
|
must concentrate, but it requires no rolls or special actions on his
|
|||
|
|
part. The person in pain, must roll humanity, but with no adverse
|
|||
|
|
effects if they fail, against a low difficulty. If they net any
|
|||
|
|
successes at all, the Black Lodger is gains one garmonbozia point,
|
|||
|
|
two points if the trauma is especially heart-wrenching.
|
|||
|
|
Then there is the dangerous way to get Garmonbozia,
|
|||
|
|
which is too steal it from the other Black Lodgers. ["You stole the
|
|||
|
|
corn from the can on the shelf, Bob! The thread is about to break Mr.
|
|||
|
|
Palmer!" - Phillip Gerard]You can only steal Garmonbozia from those
|
|||
|
|
of an equal or higher Hierarchy number (i.e. those equally or further
|
|||
|
|
removed from the lodge than oneself) To do so requires an action of
|
|||
|
|
any sort which is symbolic of theft or eating off of the other
|
|||
|
|
lodgers plate, at which moment is made a extended contested willpower
|
|||
|
|
roll. Whichever spirit runs out of willpower first automatically
|
|||
|
|
looses 2/3rds of their Garmonbozia (Half of which is gained by the
|
|||
|
|
winner of the duel, and half of which is lost to the lodge itself).
|
|||
|
|
You might also want to allow Garmonbozia to be increased by
|
|||
|
|
spending experience if you play black lodge chronicle type 3 (above),
|
|||
|
|
at a rate of one experience point = about 5 Garmonbozia points. Such
|
|||
|
|
increases could be justified as being the result of all the assorted
|
|||
|
|
crap the characters mere presence has brought into the lives of those
|
|||
|
|
she is around.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
8_Using/Expending Garmonbozia.
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
Garmonbozia is used in many ways. It is spent to power the
|
|||
|
|
Lodge Spirits supernatural powers, it is used whenever they attempt
|
|||
|
|
to possess an individual, it is used to bring someone across into the
|
|||
|
|
black lodge while they sleep, and it is used to create further lodge
|
|||
|
|
spirits.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
9_Creating Lodge Spirits.
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
A lodge spirit may create (at any time in which it has more
|
|||
|
|
than 2 Garmonbozia points) another lodge spirit. Such lodge spirits
|
|||
|
|
must be warped perspective reflections of oneself, wrapped around a
|
|||
|
|
focus of some sort. [For example: Bob has other things to do than
|
|||
|
|
maintaining constant watch over Leland (Which he does end up doing
|
|||
|
|
anyway as time goes by and Cooper starts getting to close to learning
|
|||
|
|
the truth) so he draws forth an aspect of himself, creating a lesser
|
|||
|
|
spirit which is Bob weaved into the mentality and maturity of Leland
|
|||
|
|
as a child, one to watch over Leland and keep him from figuring out
|
|||
|
|
what was happening to him. Then later Bob needed an agent who's
|
|||
|
|
perceptions would always be in the physical world keeping track of
|
|||
|
|
Cooper et al, so he formed a part of himself into The Owl, which was
|
|||
|
|
focused around spying on coopers actions, and then... well, you get
|
|||
|
|
the point. ]
|
|||
|
|
To do so, it must find a focus, envision a form for
|
|||
|
|
the new spirit which symbolizes that form, and then transfer a
|
|||
|
|
portion of it's life-force into making that vision and foci real. It
|
|||
|
|
must spend one third of it's current Garmonbozia (rounded up)on the
|
|||
|
|
creation. Those points are consumed by the lodge, who then gives the
|
|||
|
|
spirit the immediate capacity to solidify it's vision into a new
|
|||
|
|
lesser spirit.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The new spirit thus created has a Hierarchy number
|
|||
|
|
one larger (weaker) than the spirit who focused/formed it, and has a
|
|||
|
|
starting Garmonbozia pool of 1/2 the pool the "parent" spirit had
|
|||
|
|
just prior to the forming. (Yes, this will net a total Garmonbozia
|
|||
|
|
between the two of them which is LARGER than the Garmonbozia pool
|
|||
|
|
possessed by the spirit who created the other one. Why do you think
|
|||
|
|
Mike was willing to form The Giant and Phillip Gerard? Because he
|
|||
|
|
knew that in the long run it would make him MORE powerful within the
|
|||
|
|
lodge. )
|
|||
|
|
Also, while the personality of the new spirit IS that of it's
|
|||
|
|
creator wrapped around a focus, it IS a free willed spirit, capable
|
|||
|
|
of disobeying or even turning against it's creator over time, but
|
|||
|
|
probably will not do this, for reasons which follow...
|
|||
|
|

|
10_Dissolving Lodge Spirits.
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
Any lodge spirit may dissolve any lesser spirits which it has
|
|||
|
|
formed as direct links to itself. [Bob may dissolve Mrs. Tremond's
|
|||
|
|
Grandson, but he can't lay a finger on Phillip Gerard] To do so,
|
|||
|
|
certain conditions must be met:
|
|||
|
|
The spirit you wish to dissolve must be one of your
|
|||
|
|
direct "children": of the Hierarchy rating just above (weaker) than
|
|||
|
|
yourself, and created by you. You may not dissolve another spirits
|
|||
|
|
construct, no matter what it's Hierarchy.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You must currently possess more or equal amounts of
|
|||
|
|
Garmonbozia as it does. Any excess in it's favor will deny you the
|
|||
|
|
right to destroy it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You must win an extended contested Willpower roll
|
|||
|
|
against it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
and lastly:
|
|||
|
|
You must make some sort of symbolic attack against
|
|||
|
|
it's focus. [For example, in order to destroy Mrs. Tremond's
|
|||
|
|
Grandson, he would have to symbolically weaken it's link to Leland,
|
|||
|
|
perhaps by having possessing someone and forcing them to send Leland
|
|||
|
|
a valentine. :)
|
|||
|
|
Once you have successfully completed the above requirements,
|
|||
|
|
the lodge will grant you the immediate ability to dissolve the spirit
|
|||
|
|
in question. All of it's Garmonbozia will be absorbed by the lodge
|
|||
|
|
itself, along with one third of your own (ST's might think this all
|
|||
|
|
seems pretty drastic, but I believe the dissolution of a Lodge Spirit
|
|||
|
|
should be a major event, an undertaking not taken lightly)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
11_Lodge Artifacts:
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
Aside from creating spirits from themselves, Black Lodgers
|
|||
|
|
may also create physical bodies [Phillip Gerard and The Owl] too.
|
|||
|
|
To do should be more costly, and such a being should only start out
|
|||
|
|
with 1/3rd the Garmonbozia of it's creator, not 1/2, and lacks the
|
|||
|
|
ability to possess that non-physical lodge spirits have.
|
|||
|
|
Physical Artifacts may also be created [Teresa Bank's ring or
|
|||
|
|
the photo Mrs. Tremond gives Laura are both good examples, both being
|
|||
|
|
able to draw a person into the lodge. Another good example is the
|
|||
|
|
coffee cup which traps Cooper's soul in the lodge at the end of the
|
|||
|
|
last episode]. Such items only have 1/4th the Garmonbozia of the
|
|||
|
|
creator, and are indiscriminate in their evil. They perform
|
|||
|
|
particular functions well, using certain powers at the cost of one
|
|||
|
|
Garmonbozia point each. They continue to work toward their focus
|
|||
|
|
until they run out of Garmonbozia, and are non-replenishable. The
|
|||
|
|
reason a spirit would create such an object is simple: artifacts lack
|
|||
|
|
free will, and as such will never turn against you. Also, unlike
|
|||
|
|
spirits, they can be absorbed by their creator at any point without
|
|||
|
|
having to spend the Garmonbozia to to dissolve them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
12_Cooperation:
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
It is possible for multiple lodge spirits to work together to
|
|||
|
|
create an artifact or spirit which is linked to the both (or all) of
|
|||
|
|
them. Such spirits may be dissolved or absorbed by either without
|
|||
|
|
requiring the permission of either (But the lodge must still think
|
|||
|
|
their actions are in its best interest though).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
13_Additional Supernatural Powers:
|
|||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
I don't have time to work out additional powers for the Black
|
|||
|
|
Lodgers, but I can list some already existing powers in the books
|
|||
|
|
which can easily be appropriated for the Lodge Spirits and their
|
|||
|
|
artifacts. The use of any of the following powers should each cost
|
|||
|
|
the Black Lodger from one to five Garmonbozia points, depending on
|
|||
|
|
the relative power of the ability, and the circumstances surrounding
|
|||
|
|
it's use. Costs should be much lower while the spirit is actually
|
|||
|
|
within the black lodge.
|
|||
|
|
From Vampire: the Masquerade :
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
All the auspex levels seem to fit with the style and
|
|||
|
|
mood of Twin peaks, with the exception perhaps of level 5, but even
|
|||
|
|
that could be made to fit.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Presence level 1 works nicely, yet unreliably.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
All the dominate levels work well, with one small
|
|||
|
|
change. Rather than requiring eye-contact, they require that the
|
|||
|
|
spirit who is using them be focused on "seducing" the specific
|
|||
|
|
individual on whom the powers are useable.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Animalism MIGHT be okay, as these are amerindian
|
|||
|
|
nature spirits, sort of, but only if that were the focus of the
|
|||
|
|
spirit using it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Obfuscate: A definite yes. What more can I say?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
From the Storyteller's Handbook:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Visceratika: the levels which let you sense the
|
|||
|
|
movements of everyone in the same building as yourself might work.
|
|||
|
|
[The Fan could always tell when Laura was home...]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sanguinus might be allowable between a "parent"
|
|||
|
|
spirit and it's "children", but I'd be wary here as a ST, using this
|
|||
|
|
might just make the Black Lodgers seem combat-oriented, which is NOT
|
|||
|
|
what they are, most of them don't even have true physical forms
|
|||
|
|
outside of the lodge.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
From the Player's Guide:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The setite powers of corruption are also definite
|
|||
|
|
yes's, but not the stuff about the tongues and turning into snakes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Necromancy might work too, with the Black Lodgers
|
|||
|
|
being able to call upon the souls of those they've seduced and
|
|||
|
|
corrupted in the past. [I'd hate to meet the ghost of Windam
|
|||
|
|
Earle].But still, I don't think the flavor is right on this one.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some of the really high levels of the conventional
|
|||
|
|
disciplines seem workable too, but I'd have to say no, you need to
|
|||
|
|
give the Cainites a few advantages (at least, you do if you're not
|
|||
|
|
considering the black lodge to be the source of the beast) over their
|
|||
|
|
non-corporeal brethren.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
From the Player's Guide to the Sabbat:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dementation, the power owned by the Malkavian
|
|||
|
|
Antitribu: This is THE key power of the Black Lodgers, without the
|
|||
|
|
ability to drive people mad, they really aren't worth using. My only
|
|||
|
|
regret is that white wolf didn't include this power in the original
|
|||
|
|
rule-book.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Vicissitude: One could make a VERY good case for
|
|||
|
|
level one of this power.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Obtenebration (?) : Another good one. [and great for
|
|||
|
|
explaining why Leland and the girls were lit by a flashlight when
|
|||
|
|
they made the run to the train car. And don't tell me that Phillip
|
|||
|
|
Gerard was holding the flash light, because he was still back at the
|
|||
|
|
cabin during the scene in question].
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
From Werewolf: the Apocalypse :
|
|||
|
|
Okay, I admit it. Sorry Sam, but I don't play W:tA
|
|||
|
|
often enough to have many of the gifts memorized. But I'm sure that
|
|||
|
|
many of them are more than appropriate to the Black Lodge, such as
|
|||
|
|
ones controlling the terrain, or driving off animals, or for sensing
|
|||
|
|
the wyrm and things of that nature. I'll have to leaf thru the book
|
|||
|
|
again.
|
|||
|
|
I know there are rules for wyrm bane's possessing
|
|||
|
|
individuals in the book, but I haven't read them in a while. If I'm
|
|||
|
|
not mistaken, I think their rules for fast take-overs, which is
|
|||
|
|
definitely NOT in the spirit of Twin Peaks. It took YEARS for Bob to
|
|||
|
|
get the kind of hold he did over Leland, and about six more to get
|
|||
|
|
the hold he did over Laura. Twin Peaks is about destiny, timelessness
|
|||
|
|
and lethargic evil, not about last second rescues and disposable
|
|||
|
|
badguys. [OK, yes, Windam Earle DID believe in disposable badguys,
|
|||
|
|
but not in thump...he's a puppet. Okay, you kill him, so I possess
|
|||
|
|
the guy standing next to him. You kill him, so I get the guy on the
|
|||
|
|
corner. That's just not Twin Peaks IMHO] Cooper would like it to be
|
|||
|
|
about last second rescues...

Black Lodge Spirits:
|

|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
Black Lodgers are not neccesarily evil. In the same sense
|
|||
|
|
that Sabbat are not neccesarilly evil. The quick and easiest (and
|
|||
|
|
shortest) description I could come up with for Black Lodge Spirits
|
|||
|
|
personality is this: They're just like Malkavian Antitribu except
|
|||
|
|
that instead of bluntly sucking the blood out of people, they instead
|
|||
|
|
go the more subtle route of wearing down their victims humanity and
|
|||
|
|
feeding off of the sadness and pain this causes. They aren't evil,
|
|||
|
|
just....sick. :)

|

"Do you know WHO that is!?!??!!!!?"
|

|
|
-FBI Agent Phillip Jeffries to Director Gordon Cole,
|
|||
|
|
talking about Agent Cooper,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
because Jeffries could see that
|
|||
|
|
Bob was destined to possess Cooper.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In the tv show, we see at least half a dozen Black Lodge
|
|||
|
|
spirits. First, we see Bob, then Phillip Gerard/The One Armed Man,
|
|||
|
|
then Mike/The Little Man From Another Place, then we hear about Mrs.
|
|||
|
|
Tremond, then we discover that The Giant (Who until that point I had
|
|||
|
|
assumed was an angel) is really not only A: a black lodger, but allso
|
|||
|
|
B: another incarnation of The Little Man From Another Place.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Then, we go to the movie, where we see all of the above (save
|
|||
|
|
The Giant), plus a couple of woodsmen, and a little boy behind a
|
|||
|
|
mask, and a strange little critter which seems to be a weird
|
|||
|
|
Mike-like thing with a face like the little boy's mask and lastly we
|
|||
|
|
get to see Mrs. Tremond, who allso goes by the name Chalfont. Lot's
|
|||
|
|
and lots of these Black Lodgers, right? I thought so at first too,
|
|||
|
|
but I was wrong.
|
|||
|
|
The little man says "Do you know who I am? I am the arm."
|
|||
|
|
Whoa. This took me at first. Then I thought "So, Mike is Phillip
|
|||
|
|
Gerard's arm, and it seems that Mrs. Chalfont's Grandson is sort of
|
|||
|
|
like Leland trapped at the age/moment in which Bob first seduced him.
|
|||
|
|
And the little dancing guy in the corner of the convenience store
|
|||
|
|
looks like Mike with a face made out of Mrs. Tremond's Grandson's
|
|||
|
|
mask, implying that he's a link between Mike and Bob/Chalfont. Then
|
|||
|
|
Bob throws up his arms and it forces that little guy back into the
|
|||
|
|
corner, a certain sign that Bob would destroy this link if he could,
|
|||
|
|
and of course Bob was obviously the owl or linked to the owl, and we
|
|||
|
|
know the doppleganger was really..." Well, I started to think too
|
|||
|
|
fast for words, and this is what I came up with:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To really stew it all down, there is only ONE lodge spirit.
|
|||
|
|
Only one. It has the ability however to divide itself into lesser
|
|||
|
|
incarnations, more specialized ones.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I'll attempt to trace a genealogy of the spirits shown in the
|
|||
|
|
tv show and movie: We start with the lodge. The lodge for some reason
|
|||
|
|
splits itself into at least two persona's. One is Mike, and at least
|
|||
|
|
one of the others is Bob. They are all linked in a web. Between them
|
|||
|
|
they form lesser spirits which bridge the gaps in personality. They
|
|||
|
|
continue on thru physical-world time, possessing humans, feeding off
|
|||
|
|
their pain, and dragging them into the lodge to use as the basis for
|
|||
|
|
the creation of more lodge spirits. Bob takes over Leland Palmer,
|
|||
|
|
creating a new spirit in the form os Leland locked in the age he was
|
|||
|
|
possessed at but wearing a mask. Time passes in the physical world.
|
|||
|
|
Then an FBI special operative by the name of Phillip Jeffries is able
|
|||
|
|
to willingly enter the lodge somehow, exerting his will over a part
|
|||
|
|
of it. He affects Mike, changing him forever, and in the process so
|
|||
|
|
changed is Jeffries. Mike is able cast off the wyrm influence from
|
|||
|
|
himself. He takes a bit of Jeffries life force, and uses it to
|
|||
|
|
construct for himself a body which is able to enter the physical
|
|||
|
|
world. He names this body Phillip Gerard (the one armed man), and
|
|||
|
|
locks humanity into thru the weaver. He splits himself off into
|
|||
|
|
several more parts, one known as the The Little Man From Another
|
|||
|
|
Place which houses wisdom locked by the wyld. Another houses madness
|
|||
|
|
locked by the wyrm. Bob is revolted by this, and so destroys the
|
|||
|
|
connection spirit between himself and Mike. However, Mike has by this
|
|||
|
|
time created another spirit (In the form of a hyperactive version of
|
|||
|
|
The Little Man with a face which completely resembles the mask that
|
|||
|
|
Mrs. Tremond's grandson wore) to house his madness, and links this
|
|||
|
|
spirit onto Mrs. Tremond/Chalfont's grandson. Bob is not directly
|
|||
|
|
linked to this little dancing critter, so he can't destroy it without
|
|||
|
|
first destroying Mrs. Chalfont's Grandson, and doing that would cost
|
|||
|
|
him his control of Leland (and, since the black lodge exists beyond
|
|||
|
|
time, he would know that it would prevent him from getting Laura,
|
|||
|
|
Dale, Annie, Windam Earle, and Chet Desmond too, altogether too
|
|||
|
|
costly). So Bob has to live with this connection, and thru it, Mike
|
|||
|
|
is able to syphon off some of Bob's influence and Garmonbozia,
|
|||
|
|
thereby slowing Bob's efforts to consume both Leland and Laura. Not a
|
|||
|
|
perfect fix, but worth attempting anyway in Mike's opinion. So Bob
|
|||
|
|
burnt some Garmonbozia forming Teresa Banks' ring, because he figured
|
|||
|
|
it would bring him enough Garmonbozia to make up for the amount he
|
|||
|
|
had to spend on it. He allso created a spirit form of himself linked
|
|||
|
|
to the fan in the Plamer household so that he could talk to Laura
|
|||
|
|
when Leland wasn't home. Mike saw that he wasn't stopping Bob, and so
|
|||
|
|
formed himself into The Giant to try to warn Cooper off, [but in his
|
|||
|
|
madness (?) he was unable to tell Cooper straight out what was
|
|||
|
|
happening]. Bob was wary of this though, and so formed himself The
|
|||
|
|
Owl to be able to keep an eye on Cooper.

|
|
1_PRELUDE:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is the senario, played on Sundays evenings, during
|
|||
|
|
the Lent term 1993, by me as ST and all the play testers.
|
|||
|
|
It is based on the idea that a Lasombra antitribu is hunting
|
|||
|
|
down all of his children, and children's childrens...etc. He happends
|
|||
|
|
to be a member of the Inconnu, so he cannot hunt them down directly,
|
|||
|
|
BUT he can use other vampires to do it for him: the players!!!!!
|
|||
|
|
Even if he follows the path of Honorable accord, he senses the
|
|||
|
|
corruption of the Black Lodge and has brolen his word of
|
|||
|
|
non-interferance!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2_ ENTER THE CHARACTERS:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After being introduced to the Prince; each player will dream
|
|||
|
|
the following dream, and recieve an invitation to dine signed
|
|||
|
|
The Duke of Provence (he is Corwin). The dream is :
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"White hands are playing with some cards, making a castle
|
|||
|
|
with them. All the cards are blank. On the other side
|
|||
|
|
there is a red "S" and a "C" (Sabbat/Camarilla) on a
|
|||
|
|
black background, separated by a white line. Then the hand
|
|||
|
|
take one card of the castle, and all falls...."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When they will go to the address, the next night, the Duke will
|
|||
|
|
explain what he wants of them, and will give them a pack of cards:
|
|||
|
|
it has 32 cards, 5 like the carracter in a medieval costume (whatever
|
|||
|
|
suits him the best: knight/paysant/noble/magician...). Another card
|
|||
|
|
has a picture of a street in Paris, near the Eiffel Tower. The name is
|
|||
|
|
Vincent! (NOT the Brujah, the Lasombra). Corwin will be pleased to
|
|||
|
|
swap cards....see after. The Duke (Corwin) wants the players to kill
|
|||
|
|
Vincent (he doesn't care about the rest of the pack) BUT he will
|
|||
|
|
not give them any help (the cards are powerful enough) nor will
|
|||
|
|
he fight along side them. He is from the Inconnu, and has sworn
|
|||
|
|
not to get involved in Kindred and Kine affairs (which he is doing, but
|
|||
|
|
he is covering for it... and the Lodge infuences him as well).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Cards are a powerful artefacts: If some blood is put on a card
|
|||
|
|
where there is a picture of a place, the user; by spending a willpower
|
|||
|
|
point; can "jump" into the place represented by the picture. If
|
|||
|
|
the user has a card of another person, and some his/her blood
|
|||
|
|
on the card; she/he can speak to the person; if and
|
|||
|
|
only if, this person has a card of the caller, with some of its
|
|||
|
|
blood on it. The caller (or reciever) can "jump" into the place the
|
|||
|
|
other is (by spending a willpower point) providing that they hold
|
|||
|
|
their hands. (ie if one of them doesn't want the other to "jump"
|
|||
|
|
then, he/she cannot jump!!!). These are borrowed from the Amber
|
|||
|
|
Chronicles by Zelazy. The cards might have other powers, but it
|
|||
|
|
is up to the ST to decide, as he wish (as long as it fits the plot)
|
|||
|
|
Do not foget that Corwin gave his world that the cards are not
|
|||
|
|
dangerous per se, and that he is following the path of honerable
|
|||
|
|
accord.
|
|||
|
|
If you think that the cards are too powerful, just say that,
|
|||
|
|
at the end of the story: You wake up and feel realy worried about
|
|||
|
|
that strange dream of yours....Cards, which cards? (dominate
|
|||
|
|
is a Lasombra clan discipline, and Morphus ways gives a nice control
|
|||
|
|
other the dreams.....).
|
|||
|
|
The players will have no lead whatsoever to start with;
|
|||
|
|
so it is up to them to find a way to find this Vincent.

3_ENTER THE RAVNOS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In the mean time, a Caitif, wanting to join the Ravnos clan
|
|||
|
|
is trying to steal something from the Louvre, as a proof of his
|
|||
|
|
"ability" (he is in fact a Ravnos, but doesn't know his Sire, so
|
|||
|
|
he assumes he is Caitif). A blood hunt will be ordered, and the
|
|||
|
|
players should suspect the Sabbat. You can leave some leads as to
|
|||
|
|
where to find the Ravnos, as a letter in Gypies Cant (posted
|
|||
|
|
sometime ago on the list). The idea is to get the players to
|
|||
|
|
hunt him down, have his blood (or not, this is up to you.)
|
|||
|
|
If she/he does, he will be "badly" seen by vampire
|
|||
|
|
with a humanity of 6 or more. Make sure that the player
|
|||
|
|
gets some powers, but balance them with a derangement of
|
|||
|
|
cleptomania.... Ravnos blood bears a strange curse! Of course
|
|||
|
|
there will be all other (normal) effects for Diablerie...
|
|||
|
|
See "Diablerie Mexico" for details), and become famous in Paris
|
|||
|
|
(status goes +1, unless already above 3 (ie 4 or more)).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4_ENTER THE SABBAT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
At that point, our friends from the Sabbat will appear,
|
|||
|
|
and guess who will be their targets???.... They will try to make
|
|||
|
|
the players join them (since they need more information
|
|||
|
|
on Paris, and these guys are young/neonates vampires, so
|
|||
|
|
do your best to present the sabbat with a good face.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Their plan is very simple, try to give what the vampire
|
|||
|
|
want, and make him/her join a vinculum. It could be giving
|
|||
|
|
a apprentice to a Nosferatu, political power to a Ventrue,
|
|||
|
|
true freedom to a Brujah, new rituals for a Tremere....or anything
|
|||
|
|
that your players might want/like. This is there to show the
|
|||
|
|
"good" side of the Sabbat, and to put a twisted plot into the
|
|||
|
|
adventure... (imagine one of them joining the Sabbat, and
|
|||
|
|
acting as a spy for them....). Will the players trade their
|
|||
|
|
humanity for power???...You never know!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If all the players accept the deal, they will undergo the
|
|||
|
|
Ritual of Creation, and become true members of the Sabbat. BUT
|
|||
|
|
They will have to drink the other blood in a Vaulderie, with their
|
|||
|
|
own; but the others won't drink theirs. (ie they will have a
|
|||
|
|
rating of Vinculum towards the others, but the others won't have
|
|||
|
|
one towards them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If some acept to run with the Sabbat, let them plan an ambush
|
|||
|
|
for their fellow ( and former) companions. (use both above and under
|
|||
|
|
options....).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If none acept the deal, then the Sabbat will try to
|
|||
|
|
kill them. They will lead them into their haven in the sewers
|
|||
|
|
and ambush them, with the help of some Black Spiral Dancers,
|
|||
|
|
or alone (it is up to you). Their plan must leave NO way out
|
|||
|
|
for the players, they will be trapped with no way of escaping..
|
|||
|
|
(by a fire elemental, or something else up to your fiendish
|
|||
|
|
imagination!).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5_THE LAST BATTLE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Sabbat will think that the player cannot escape their
|
|||
|
|
fate, and won't bother finding out if the players really died.
|
|||
|
|
It would be true, apart from the cards: One can jump out of the trap
|
|||
|
|
with a card, to the street in Paris (see above). The player will
|
|||
|
|
then have to find a GOOD plan to get the Sabbat....Obviously,
|
|||
|
|
they cannot go in the places where they are known, nor to places
|
|||
|
|
where they hang around (ie Vampire Club, clubs, etc.). If they
|
|||
|
|
don't do it: then there will be a Wild Hunt on them, and they will
|
|||
|
|
have a hard time!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If their plan is good, then let the Sabbat fall in it: BIG
|
|||
|
|
fight and let destiny play its wild card!. If their plan is bad,
|
|||
|
|
then, use the Sabbat as more intelligent...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6_NOTES.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I didn't give a more precise line, because the players WON'T
|
|||
|
|
follow it! You could make connections to other vampires in the city
|
|||
|
|
all dead ends, but it will show more of Paris to your players.
|
|||
|
|
If you want to use Corwin (as the Duc of Provence) for
|
|||
|
|
another hunt, or as a mentor for the players, feel free: He could
|
|||
|
|
always find a "job" for your players. "How about getting this
|
|||
|
|
painting for me?" or "How about going all over the world and killing
|
|||
|
|
Lasombra vampires?" or "Serve me as spies in Paris".....etc. Below is
|
|||
|
|
a list of "botches for hunting rolls" which seem to happend a lot
|
|||
|
|
in my game (for some strange reasons).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*The vessel is a vampire, just take one from the above.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*The vessel is a kine, with wonderful blood. It is so good
|
|||
|
|
that the player must made a conscience roll (diff 7), if he
|
|||
|
|
fails the vessel is drained...if not he will have taken 4
|
|||
|
|
blood pool points, and the poor vessel is going to a party
|
|||
|
|
where he will drink a LOT (you can tell, because he got
|
|||
|
|
a bottle in his/hers jacket.).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*The vessel is a magi, looking for a Tremere....
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*The vessel is watched by the police for a reson X.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*The vessel is a carrier of the AIDS virus. (no offence
|
|||
|
|
intended.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*The vessel will be found raped and killed the next day,
|
|||
|
|
She was a very good looking person.(no offence intended).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*The vessel is the character's ward/retainer and there is
|
|||
|
|
a chance for frenzy (diff 6). If you are feeling in a bad mood.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*The vessel is a lupine (either a Black Spiral Dancer, or
|
|||
|
|
"good" one, or a ratkine, or any other garou you like....
|
|||
|
|
apart from a were-elephant...).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*When feeding, a group of Sabbat vampires play a little
|
|||
|
|
Gangbanging game.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*The vessel is a undercover police officer on duty.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*The vessel was already "used" that night, and has 6 Blood
|
|||
|
|
pool points.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*The feeding is seen by a group of "teens", who want to serve
|
|||
|
|
the kindred...Only problem, they will tell everybody about
|
|||
|
|
him/her; and will want to become one of the immortals....
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*The feeding is seen by a cop, and he wants to become a
|
|||
|
|
vampire.. (he is mad for power and will do anything to kill
|
|||
|
|
his sire, even diablerie....he read and loved The Vampire
|
|||
|
|
Chronicles....).

|
(This is just an idea, it hasn't been played...).
|
|||
|
|
The Prince is living Paris, he is bored with it! He designs a
|
|||
|
|
new Prince and leaves the city in a chaotic state!!!! The "heir" will
|
|||
|
|
be one of the players! The real story, is that Villon wants to see
|
|||
|
|
who will obey him, and who are his enemies, hence a little "game" of
|
|||
|
|
his to make it clear who plots against him! Hope the "heir" has got
|
|||
|
|
guts........
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Brujah: Let's create an anachic comunity, they plan an Anarch
|
|||
|
|
uprising
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Gangrel: The lady waits, feeling the trap.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Nosferatu: Panic on board!!!! Spyes are sent everywhere...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Malkavian: Benoit ask the players to become the Prince, since he
|
|||
|
|
is the leader of the Toreadors, and the city needs a Toreador Prince!
|
|||
|
|
Mark will send a letter, asking him to become the first Malkavian Prince
|
|||
|
|
of Paris...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Toreadors: They want one of them in charge! and now!!!(this is
|
|||
|
|
a facade as they (the elders) all know the plan...since they are
|
|||
|
|
blood bounded...).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Tremere: Back up and see what is happening, if they can create
|
|||
|
|
even more trouble, then ask for a Justicar!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Ventrue: It is our change...CHARGE!!!!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*Sabbat: Let's have a gangbanging games, or maybe more!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, when Villon sees who is ploting against him (or if the
|
|||
|
|
situation becomes uncontrollable), he will get out of hiding and
|
|||
|
|
plan to bring down his more important enemies! He will reward the
|
|||
|
|
ex-Prince with allowing him to Sire a child, if the ex-Prince had a
|
|||
|
|
brood (ie other players), he will grant them a boon! (but if they
|
|||
|
|
don't want to use it NOW, he will manage to find a way to reduce it.
|
|||
|
|
eg: by talking about them is good terms (status up) etc....).
