Custom things

by Keith Stebbins

January 24th, 2015

There was a new prop that was passed that requires all characters with Custom powers on thier sheet to have said things notified to proper coords to be archived. 

This means your characters with custom things on their sheet are now considered to be notify classification.

If you have a character based in DCH We need you to send us a list of all custom powers, rituals abilitys, backgrounds merits, custom anything.

If you or a player or a staff member or some one in coord land made it up and it doesn't exsist in a book it is custom.

Staff is aware of what the org is asking in relation to custom material. DCH staff is adding any other custom things to that list for our records so we can have an expanded Gdoc list of all this info.

To send us the information Please Adress the subject line as the following:

TO:dchstaff@googlegroups.com

Subject:(Your Character Name) Custom Informatoin

Body: 

Player Name:

Charactername:

Clan:

Sect:

List each Custom thing you have start the name of it and follow it with with the rules. 

Staff will then send it to the proper Coord.

We are giving Every one 2 Weeks to get this info to us. Players have until Feb 7th to get the data to us. 

Characters who fail to get this information to us in the time presented, Characters who have not been submitted will loose any custom stuff not submited.

Staff has a lot of Characters to go through for DCH, and there is a deadline on our end. 

If any pc has already sent their info to the proper coords than please forward or cc us on that email so we can give you the ok.

Thank you every one,

Peace and Love

Tonight's Game - January 2015

by James Monty-Carbonari

January 23rd, 2015

All Camarillan Kindred in the domain recieve an invitation to a soiree at the Hartford Club this evening. This is not an Elysium, and there will be mortals present in the main area. This is a very fancy club, so you would do well to dress up unless you feel you have enough fame or influence to get away with not doing so. You may be turned away at the door by mortal security if you do not meet a minimum standard of decorum or influence/fame.

Key points Jan 2015

by Keith Stebbins

January 8th, 2015

Staff had the first of 3 staff meetings for Jan. We wanted to focus three nights to cover different aspects going forward. Last night was our talks on the directions we're going. Listed are the major points we talked about:

1. Modular plot. Staff will be coming up with plots that work on our end like an old D&D module. A simple frame work with a quick outline for the Story, Ic and OOC goals and Npcs involved and a small explination for their intentions. These will be posted in a place so that any staff member can see them or run them on the fly. This means a number of pcs can get involved with the plot with different sts. While this could be an issue, We've implimented a Quentin Tarantino approach to cover the same module being run at the same time ooc. In short it happens on the same night and day ic time frams are scewed, conflicting out comes will be handled by staff to create a continum. Unless there are pc driven actions or legit ic reaons pcs will not simply be screwed over in this process. The ultimate goal for staff with this is to allow any st to resolve outstanding plots for any group.

2.Staff. I know there has been some issue with staff getting back to people, or in some cases conflicting rules calls or approvals. To fix this Staff standing on a unified front. We have a mix of conservitive and Liberal staff so opinions differ. We agree that a baseline for how we handle responses going forward is the best approach. Any member of staff can handle responses to emails or approvals, Who ever catches them first will take care of them. We agree that simple and reasonable instances can be resovled quickly with out discussion. Further we have decided that if there is an instance where one of us may not agree with the descion of a another st you will be in formed and staff will work it out via email asap. The players of dch reserve the right to to have the rest of staff question any rulings we make, again any resonable and polite inquarries will be respected and taken care of asap.

3.We want to create a new standard for creating pcs, with out hindering creativity. Going forward we as staff support more unique concepts with more basic sheets. Characters who have an amazing concept and starting sheets with more core book and focused sheets will be approved and given ties with current modules to streamline into play. This is not to say we do not support Complex sheets or sheets with stuff from other books or materials. We believe getting the stuff from other matierials than the core is something for play, and will be supported. R&U and anything to pass through the org first will follow as it has allways been.

4.Coord Land: To have it open and offical, any one who requires or wants something from the org needs to initiate contact themselves with staff CC'd. We stand by your requests and our players but it is the players responsibility for the initial contact. In most cases players have already gathered our permission for what ever reason and are now running it through the coord office, we are for the most part needed for the nodd and the thumbs up. We stand by you in cases where reasonable requests are ignored or given undo friction.

5. Mission Statemet. I left this to the end. We have come to our statement our goal for dch.

Our Mission is that dch becomes a Sandbox that is shaped by the player base. We want to be able to say Yes more. And in cases where we have to say no have reasonable compromises so that our sandbox can  continue to be a reflection of actions and desieres.

We don't expect every night to be perfect or smooth. Humans don't function that way. Nor can we make that promise.

What staff does promise is that we will make sure that every one who signs in will be treated fairly, and take an honest approach to handling the game, rules, and interactions with our player base.

Peace Love,

DCH Staff.

New Year

by Keith Stebbins

January 2nd, 2015

With the new year I want to move fresh on DCH. Staff and I will be having some meetings to go over various aspects of the game.

If any one had anything posted on puppet or emails needing approvals from 2014 through January of  this month that does not get poked can you either bump or remind us of these. I want to dedicate a meeting to staff solving through these and getting back to you on them. If we'eve told you it may take some time already then hang with us.

The biggest things I've seen people asking for from DCH has been a bigger staff. More focus on the actions of the PC's. More plot regarding internal politics.

Instead of focusing on the dislikes (which were not ignored, but we simply cut these things out or cut back on) we've tried to focus more on the things you guys want.

From where I'm standing this has spelled out to the fact that DCH players what to feel as if they have more effect with in our sandbox and that their actions with in the sandbox hold more wieght than something 2 dementional. and they want a bigger staff so there are more people to go around. I think these desires are more than reasonable.

I could go on but I want to have the meetings with the rest of staff before I comment further.

If any one has any thoughts or wises to make their voices heard please feel free to post here.( I know this has blown up in the past so keep things polite) I'll try to keep up with answers and take into account what people present here as we move forward.

We will try to post or musings from these meetings on puppet but the majority of this stuff will be presented or repeted at opening announcesments at game when we have everything wrapped up ooc.

Thank You every one and have a good 2015!
