So getting the itch to storytell my first game, I have decided that I am brave/foolish enough to give the Giovanni Chronicles a try. If enough people are interested I'd like to give it a go.

Description

Other information

Spoiler

System: OWOD, The 20th edition of Vampire with some minor Dark Age Vampire elements mixed in

Players wanted: Depends on how many are interested. I'd like at least three. Realistically, I can't see me taking more than five or six, but we'll see what works depending on the number and quality of the applications, and my confidence that I can provide you all with a fun experience.

Style of Play: Largely role-play focused, with occasional combat and other dice rolling. I'm big on giving players freedom, so I'll try to work your personal quests and such into the story. If you want to go in sword swinging to every challenge encountered, I won't stop you. But you might not live long. :)

Players roll their own dice, using the forum dice roller. If wanted I may occasionally roll for players, mostly if they need to soak damage from an attack.

Allowed Content: We'll be using V20 rules, with a few minor changes, explained below. Besides the Giovanni, which don't yet exist, all 12 major clans will have one slot be available for play.

Character Creation: All characters will start as mortals living in or close to Northern Romania. Characters need to buy at least one point in the Language merit to be able to read and write in their native tongue. Every point after that doubles the amount of languages they know, up to 16 if five points are put into the merit.

Characters should be created using the standard Dark ages template, with a few noted differences. Kindred start with four discipline dots, not three. All characters will become vampires at 7th generation, so the Generation background is prohibited from being bought. If you like, feel free to buy your disciplines now, but of course they will not take effect until the actual embrace. Finally, Put no dots into Linguistics. This remains a merit. 1 point is needed in it to read and write your language,e very point after that doubles your languages. If the game gets far enough, the empty Linguistics skill will be replaced with science, but it's not really applicable now.

Post sheets here then send them to me.

So, is anyone interested?

Their daily routines are interrupted when they are greeted by a servant with an invitation... "The honor of your company is most respectfully requested for a late dinner at the home of LORD CLAUDIUS GIOVANNI, EARL OF STAVLACHIA the Fourth Day of April, the Year of Our Lord 1444. A coach will be send round to collect you and provide all necessary traveling arrangements for the feast. Do not arrive early." The characters all accept the invitation, be it out of curiosity, ambition, or fear, and began traveling towards the manor.
