Played for the first time (2 games)
Well, I'm an old D&D head, so I wouldn't normally play this. But, since I'm waiting to roll a character for the new D&D "old school" game coming up with Red Priest, I decided to hop in with the Vampire folks for a trial run.
My pre-rolled character is a Ventrue: Dominator.
The Ventrue are the movers and shakers of vampire society. Members of other clans call them "Lords". In times past they were the nobility of the vampire world, but, recognizing that the world has changed, have modeled themselves after the current elite - businessmen. The Ventrue are perhaps the most conventionally powerful of the vampiric clans as a result of their wealth, social influence, and commanding powers. The clan as a whole is quite conservative, be it in actions or customs. The Ventrue have their own etiquette which is nigh-inviolable.
Unlike the Ventrue clan from Vampire: the Masquerade, the re-imagined Ventrue of Vampire: The Requiem are not restricted to a specific type of blood. Instead, their minds have been subtly unbalanced by the power of their blood, cursing them with a susceptibility to madness, represented mechanically by a penalty to derangement rolls.
The Ventrue clan's tendency towards dominance is reflected in their clan Disciplines of Resilience (supernatural toughness), Animalism (control over the beasts of nature and the Beast within a vampire's soul), and their unique Discipline of Dominate (the power to control a sentient's actions).
The current game:
We're contract investigators in today's times. We solved one case or at least gave our findings to those that hired us. There was one comical killing with a book, but, I'll let the Red Priest tell you all about that one. We encountered some "Black Blood" Vampire Eaters (killers) that wouldn't normally seem like killer...but, It looks as if we're going to have to deal with them again. MORE TO COME...
I have to run, but will be back later to finish up.
