Introduction
|
|
|
|
From the dawn of time we came, moving silently down through the
|
|
centuries, leading many secret lives. Struggling to reach the time of
|
|
the Gathering, when the few who remain, will battle to the last. No
|
|
one has ever known we were among you... until now.
|
|
-Ramirez

|
|
Ever since the introduction of the World of Darkness, the idea of
|
|
incorporating the immortals from the movie Highlander has seemed
|
|
not only interesting and appropriate, but almost necessary. The world
|
|
presented in Highlander (there should have been only one) and the
|
|
series closely mimics that of the Storyteller system: a world slightly
|
|
darker and more menacing than our own, with supernatural beings
|
|
wandering among us. In fact, the movie Highlander is listed as an
|
|
inspiration in the credits for the Storyteller games, so the
|
|
introduction of these characters seems vital.
|
|
|
|
This module is the first in (it is hoped) a series of public domain
|
|
supplements for the Storyteller system. The Vampire mailing list has
|
|
an abundance of talented, intelligent people perfectly able to write
|
|
their own supplements: this forum will allow for professional quality
|
|
work to be done by these people, and distributed to the Internet for
|
|
public consumption.

|
The author would like to thank both the Vampire and Highlander mailing
|
|
lists for their ideas on this topic. Special thanks go to Jeff P.
|
|
Schneiter, whose dissertation on Quickening (which coincided with the
|
|
week Mage was released) convinced the author that the time had come to
|
|
construct the rules contained here. The finished result, the author
|
|
hopes, is something that Highlander purists are comfortable with, and
|
|
which Vampire players find useful.
