Cain brother of Abel killed him, and was cursed by God to walk the world immortal. Cain the curse had 13 children, the clans of cursed, the Damned, the Vampires. All 13 had their own curse to bare. They slowly each slipped into eon long sleep. Before each slept they created their own 'children' those children turned around and made children. Finally we come to the current night. The elders are awakening and they have the blood of there children calling to them. They plan of draining all the clans dry till Cain returns, and consumes them.
This is Gehenna.
Roles:
There are 14 roles, for the 13 Clans and 1 for Cain. One of them is on the Elder's Side and one on the side of the Children. Nobody is sure of who is who.
All the Elders are wolves, for purpose of the night kill, however the Child that is night killed must have corresponding Elder voting for him as well as have the most votes. All Elders have the 'Seer' ability, if this gives them the 'Seer' ability twice, they may scry twice each night.. All the children have auto-bane if the corresponding Elder is lynched. Hence can only be killed by Cain.
Independent Clans
Spoiler
Assimite: A clan of assassins who have always had a taste for the blood the kindred. This has given them a taste of blood. Assimite Child wins if all the Elders are lynched or killed other then theirs. Assimite Elder wins if all the Children are lynched or killed other then theirs.
If they vote for someone in a Lynch they may attempt a Scry on that person.
Followers of Set: A clan of sinners, made of sin. They have always prayed to their Elder and wish to be consumed by him. They would lash out and destroy all who dared stop them form the honor. Followers of Set child wins if all the other children are killed/lynched before them. The Followers of Set Elder wins if all of the other Elders are killed/lynched before them.
Child = Beast, Elder = Seer/Fool (but always scrys Follower of Set as Follower of Set)

Seer, also Elder and Child know eachother.
Camarilla
Spoiler
The Camarilla is a group of vampires who have forgotten that Gehenna can and will happen. They have been more scared that humans will relight the fires of the inquisition on them. They hide their vampire natures by pretending to be human and keeping up an elaborate masquerade. The Child members of Camarilla win if there are no Elders or members of Sabbat left. The Elders win if all he Child members of the Camarilla are killed/lynched.
Brujah: Rebels with a cause. The Brujah were once proud warrior scholars and have fallen into the sorry state they have come to. They still have the fires but not the wisdom. Child = Mason, Elder = Beast
Gangrel: Beasts in mind, and immortal in body. They do not truly follow the Cammarilla but are in need of protection as they KNOW there elder is awaken. Child = Seer/Fool, Elder = Beast

Nosferatu: Ugly, disgusting monsters. And they know it. Theirs was the first to raise from the sleep and it has had a head start. They called the Camarilla together and tried to prepare, but only this clan has prepared properly. Child = Seer/Fool, Elder = Voider
Ventrue: Aristocratic Princes of the Night. Ventrue have the market closed on royalty. They lead the other vampires in this time of strife, and grab power for themselves. Child = Mason, Elder = Spy (Has a list of the Camarilla's Masons but not the Clans of, Scrys as Elder)
Sabbat:
Spoiler
Sabbat is vampiric freedom to be monsters, and they have long improved themselves to become more and more dangerous. They hope to destroy the Elders instead of just survive and have always intended to do this. One does not act like their food. All members of the Sabbat win the other caste is killed. (Elders want to kill Children, the Children want to kill the Elders)
Tzimice: Mad Scientists, and Flesh Crafters. This Clan of vampires is physically capable of anything, they improve themselves to become greater and greater monsters. They wish to destroy their Elder once and for All. Child = Baner, Sabbat Mason, Elder = Transmuter
Lasombra: Darkness Wielding nightmares. A clan that sees itself as greater leader then the Ventrue. They are monsterous and monsterous while still haveing a human-like exterior. Child = Lynch Votes count double, Sabbat Mason, Elder = Night Kill Vote Counts double.
Catiff
Spoiler
There will be clanless vampires who can be recruited by one of the other Child vampires, they gain none of the special abilities till their recruiting member till that person is lynched/killed. They count as a member of that clan, as a child. A Catiff can't win without a clan.
Cain
Spoiler
One member of the group is Cain, he is pretending to be Catiff, and cannot be recruited, however he may choose one Unstoppable-Night kill per night phase. With a 50% chance of success. If he does succeed he will gain one Lynch/Kill protection. He may 'burn' one of these to make an Auto-Kill from his night phase kill. Cain can only win if no other vampire exists. Scrys as Elder

The thirteen clans have been warned, they have been told the signs of the coming end times. The vampires know their elders will awaken in the time of thin blood. Most did not heed the warnings. It is now the end times, Gehenna, and none can be blamed for ignorance but the ignorant. This is the end time, Cain shall rise and all vampire kind will fall to the will of the eldest.
Even in the darkest days, there is still hope, if the clans rally before it is too late, but is that enough?

Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear,
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.
LLama says: Of course, the game would also have been more balanced if you all would learn not to trust Shadow
no matter what game he's in or role he has. Duos says: I've read the archives... and Shadow frankly scares the bejeesus outta me. It's like playing with a
hypothetical cross of Lex Luthor and professor Moriarty.
If he was made of SPIDERS.
I remember this looked interesting, though I will have to read the rules later.
In.

D&D Characters Past and Present:

The Honest Man (3.5 LG human fighter), Princess Kailee (4e Good elf cleric), Elric (4e Good human paladin)
Talia Dakashnit (3.5 CE human fighter), Gabriel Stryfe (d20 Modern fast hero), Tacin Willow (3.5 NG human fighter//bard)
I think I will join though I would like to clarify the basic idea of the game.
13 wolves called Elders
Vote as a group each night on who to kill, each has a scry and one other ability.
With Set's scrying he can scry twice each night is the elder scry guaranteed to be true and the other scry random? If so does Set know which is which?
13 Good power roles called Children
Each gain a special ability and can also recruit a villager each night
1 lone wolf who wants to eliminate everyone else called Cain.
Has 50% chance of killing someone that can be baned.
Once he has killed once, can burn a self bane to guarantee a kill no matter what banes are there and ignoring his 50% miss chance.
Does he have to say when he is using a self bane or is it automatic?
8+ Villages
No special ability and may refuse recruitment. Must be recruited at some point during the game to get their win conditions.

Both scrys are guaranteed to be true. I missed a bit of the rules I was using. Because of the massive amount of scrying I will be using Helgraf's Scry Interference Rule.

Correct.
1 lone wolf who wants to eliminate everyone else called Cain.
Has 50% chance of killing someone that can be baned.
Once he has killed once, can burn a self bane to guarantee a kill no matter what banes are there and ignoring his 50% miss chance.

The self-bane is automatic. I was thinking of changing it that you cannot bane against Cain. I think this will help balance that.
8+ Villages
No special ability and may refuse recruitment. Must be recruited at some point during the game to get their win conditions.
Correct.

Ahh. A group of neonates rambling about the endtimes. How novel. Let me guess; wild claims about antediluvians and Caine. Your originality astounds me. It seems I must stay around to educate this rabble of childer. [/Beckett]
You wake up at Seatac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an hour. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.
