The following clans are capped:
Baali
Samedi
Capped clans may be increased by in-game embraces. This does not necessarily mean a PC sire. It means, "Hi...here's the guy I just Embraced. Between last game and this game."
Merits:
Coldly Logical
Color Coordinated
Enchanting Voice
Merit and Clan caps may be adjusted as the game grows, or as PCs with the relevant clan/merit are GNC'd.

Well that was awesome, but we had to blow out at the end as opposed to telling people about cool things we saw, so if you saw something cool, post it here, and call out someone for doing it. No Secret Stuff :-)
I'll go first:
Doug's Character the "First Citizen" managed to tap dance his way onto what appears to be some sort of council thing based on little more resume than "I was the fist one in the room." Kudos to Doug and his character's political savvy.
Cuzin's character "Manny" talked his way into and then back out of joining the Church of the Guardian. I missed most of the scene, but what I saw was pretty super
Erika's character got into a little bit of trouble, (staff's doing :-) ) and I wanted to shout out to Erika to rolling with it well.
Other than that I just wanted to thank everyone for coming and let you know that I had a great time, and thought everybody really contributed to there being a new and dynamic game
That's me. What'd you see?

So, you've filled out one of the worksheets we handed out, and are wondering "So... my sheet is where?"
Here's the answer to that, and many of your followup questions too. If your sheet made it to staff, Ben's put it into a database. It's a big block of bits that aren't very useful to you. At game, you'll be given a paper copy to take with you. After game, take it home, and put it into puppet. Then submit it to the chronicle, and it'll show up in our list. You'll also appear under Newest Characters, so your friends can see that you did it.
You have control of the sheet from there out.
"But wait!" you ask "I can put anything on it I want?"
"No!" we reply "We still have a seperate copy in the database, and Ben's auditing a few every month. We expect to find discrepencies (your notes say you have 6 pistols, and our records say 5, where'd you get the other one?), and resolve them, but we'd notice pretty quickly if you were magic penciling (your sheet says Celerity 6, but our records say 2. Where's you get the other 4 levels of Celerity dude?)
"But what about XPs? I like those!" you ask.
"You get them" we reply "so long as you post what you're learning"
Posting your learning requires using your character Journal. It's at the top of the puppet page when you're looking at your character. Make a post each month. In it, please put down the following:
Before game, we'll match it up, and a note will appear in your XP log, telling you when you've finished learning the thing. Please remember, you get two (2) seperate things to be learning at a time, so make sure to get them both down, or your XPs will be sad and lonely without you.
"What else can I do with my Journal?" you ask, clearly on a roll.
"You can post your character questions, backstory, and downtime actions there" we reply, having carefully prepared a response.
"Character Questions?" you ask
"Simple" we reply.
Character questions are found here:
http://www.vampire.echoesofempires.org/index.php?title=Character_Questions
We need you to do the first five (5), but if you answer them all, you get two (2) more freebies. Love your dots? Answer the quesions. Put them in your journal for freebie points. Put just the 5, and that's okay, you can always get the rest later. They're to help you think through your character. They're also to help us think about plots for you.
Happy dots are dots that have puppets, so get your dots into puppet, as soon as you can.

Several people who have already submitted their character packages (and thank you for those who have already), and for those who are going to finish up their character packages on Saturday:
Please note which merits and flaws you have decided to take that have the Costumed tag. Please be prepared to costume these merits and flaws, or have an explanation for why you shouldn't be.

Hey all! With games only a mere 3 days from now, I thought that I would take a moment to recommend the Echoes Wiki. It is the most up to date source for rules, systems, and info on World Plot. Specifically, for this weekend, I recommend the following link: http://www.vampire.echoesofempires.org/index.php?title=Factions The Factions info. This will give info on a very significant, but wholly optional, facet of this game universe that is completely new to the uninitiated. I can speak for all of the staff when I says press how excited we are for Saturday. See ya there!!! Jim

(The following arrives via some reasonable method...known contacts, a mentor, etc. Both envelope and invitation are on a heavier, parchment-like paper, the writing clean and neat, if a bit ornate.)
You are cordially invited to a discussion regarding the politics of the area and available avenues of recourse on Saturday, May the Nineteenth.
Discussion will be held at the Hartford Hilton on Trumbull Street.
Attendees should be prepared to present invitation to the “Michaelson Conference”
With Regards,
Count Hari Michaelson, in service to the Iron Crown
OOC: The actual game site and times have not changed from the site announcement.
