Thomaslee Introduction - Page 35

The whole nostalgia of rolling dice gets tossed out with LoGaS. However, I do understand the appeal and I cannot remember where I stored my copy.

I realize that Hunter is an introduction game, but I like being able to give players the ability to connect and relate to their characters. It works well for a WoD intro.

Mage we could tackle as well. To be honest my favorite is Mummy, followed by Mage and then Vampire: Far East.

Introduction Thomaslee

Fair enough. Their are probably quite a few roleplayers that would find it weird not to be rolling in the dice, but to a certain degree one could make the argument that a diceless roleplaying game would be a lot easier to play online and on a forum.

Admittedly, a counterpoint to this is the question of how one would go about doing the auction? That is best in person or over video chat such as Skype given how you need to have players be fast and put under pressure to decide how many points they want to bid on any given stat.

Give and take, there are considerations and challenges in most roleplays, especially when online.

True, and if others would like to play Hunter I'd be willing to give it a try as well. I would simply need to make certain that I limit my knowledge to that which my character or no and try to reacreas they would despite the knowledge that I have of the many monsters of the WoD.

That and I admit despite reading many WoD... I have not actually been a player in this setting. Which means being introduced into the game by way of Hunter could be appropriate.

Personally my favorite is that of Vampire the Masquerade… or more particular Vampire: the Dark Ages as that would allow me to play a vampire following a Path of Heaven. I think it would interesting to play a more religious vampire, a fair challenge even with rich roleplay potential, and it would give me excuse to use the book Road of Heaven.
Really though either Hunter or Mage would be fine.

Thanks for your insight their Thomas.

I love Vampires of the East for a lot of the same reasons, you like Vampire: Dark Ages.

I will make you a deal.

1) We get things going with a Hunter campaign, see how much interest follows.
2) Complete a 4 part mini series.
3) Then we can poll the group to decide on Vampire or Mage for the next "Genre" to be covered.
4) I will GM so you can play.

Sure I think that's a fair deal, starting with Hunter then once we complete a 4 part mini-series that we can move to either Mage or Vampires mattering what the other players want. Can't wait to see this get started!

We could even have it be that if Vampires are chosen we can go with the VotE, as I am willing to give it a try though I'd like to read though the book a bit and familiarize myself with it.

One idea I could suggest, if we go with this, is that the players' characters are from different parts of the world and all start in the 'The East' for one reason or another.

Introduction Thomaslee

Thomas-

"Kindred of the East" is available in a pdf format. It should be fairly easy to find.

As to the Hunter campaign starting in 'The East', that can certainly be arranged.

For follow up campaigns, it might be better off if we did "Kindred of the East" and then looked at a "Mage:The Ascension" tie in to the Vampire campaign.

I will start a write-up for the Hunter: The Reckoning campaign.

Thomaslee Introduction

I'll look forward to seeing it! Let me know when you get it written up. I may need some helping building a hunter character.

My thoughts being a young man following in his father's footsteps, becoming a hunter so as to protect those who cannot protect themselves against the monsters of WoD.
