Seasons of Strange
Seasons of Strange is a multi-genre chronicle. We will primarily be playing Vampire, Werewolf, Mage and Changeling. Other genres may be adopted into our rotation as well in the future.
Till further notice, we will be playing Werewolf: The Apocalypse.
Werewolf
The native people of the lands of Dutchess County have returned to reclaim what was theirs. The Garou are doing so as well... Some things that were thought gone, have been hiding in plain sight. Take back that which was and that which has yet to be from the agents of the Wyrm.
Recover it.
This is a Werewolf game set in Dutchess County, NY.
Vampire
Welcome to New Rochelle, a fairly new domain. Prince Martinez has now claimed this odd little Domain as his. Maybe this is the place for you to make a name for yourself? Perhaps this is where you wish to start up anew? Many things will come to pass here as with any fledgling Domain, nothing is written in stone and the only certainty is the changing of the seasons.
Enjoy your stay.
This is a Camarilla chronicle set in the city of New Rochelle, New York.
Mage
They have a plan and these Mages mean business. They will not be going away...
Be seeing you.
General
Game is held on the second Saturday of the month and we start at roughly 2:00 PM on Roll20.net.
Please feel free to contact us at strange_staff@googlegroups.com, with any questions or comments. We ask that you make all character submissions through Puppet Prince.

I would very much like everyone to welcome our new satellite game: Unraveled Threads. It is an awesome Mage game being run by Donny Pascale and Rob Nichols. I had a lot of fun there myself and hope that everyone else will give it a try.

Kindred of the Domain of New Rochelle,
There are things I wish you all to know, and it can not wait until our next gathering. I want to be crystal clear on these issues, so that when I am done, there is no doubt in anyone's minds as to how I feel, or what I think about a particular situation.
First some recognition. I want to again congratulate my three new Primogen. Shy Guy of Clan Nosferatu, Percy Fitzwallace of Clan Toreador, and Voltan Dadian of Clan Ventrue. Vaughn of Clan Toreador had to step away to focus on his art, and we thank him for the service he has given my domain. I am sure these kindred will prove worthy of their Clans support.
On that note, some of my new kindred have already stepped forward and are proving to be the leaders I am hoping to become.
Lucy, of Clan Brujah, for being well-informed, decisive, and quick on her feet, as I am *Exalted, please know that she is to be considered *Respected from this point on.
Voltan Dadian of Clan Venture, for volunteering to spearhead the rebuilding efforts for the city, as I am *Well Known, I wish him to be known as a *Dedicated kindred, willing to sacrifice much of his time and effort, to help rebuild.
For services provided to my domain, Jacob Rothstein has been granted his own personal territory, within my domain, in the city of Pelham Manor. You will respect his boundaries, and would due well to remember, that within those boundaries, his rules are law.
Now to focus on the mistakes that have been made. I announced my decision at the last gathering, but to make sure that everyone knows far and wide across my domain. After talking to some of my most trusted advisers, explosives of any kind are hereby banned. No kindred while in my domain may use them in anyway without MY express permission, and no one elses, up to and including my Seneschal. The destruction caused by one mistake has caused my domain damage and loss that can never be recovered, an Elder of our domain was almost destroyed by this mistake, and local, state and federal law enforcement, along with all of the intelligence agencies were on their way to our domain, had not the elders stepped in. This mistake can not, and will not be repeated on my watch. Explosives are dangerous, they are difficult to control, and they draw attention that we do not want. If anyone violates this law of my domain, final death is the punishment.
Finally, apparently people need to be reminded of past edicts I have made. Almost a year ago I made it clear that all schools, from Kindergarten to College were under my protection, and were my personal domain, and that NO ONE was to tread into this domain without going through me. I found out that someone had decided to frame local university students for the explosion, as a prank gone wrong. Thankfully I had allies watching, and they made sure that this didn't happen, and brought the information to me. Once again, to be clear, this never happens again. If anyone treads into this domain again, you will feel my full fury and wrath in a way you could have never possibly imagined.
Prince Paul Blake.
Your new CM, a reminder, a side note, and a ruler... Oh my....
July 24th, 2014
Since we are now completely and one hundred percent in OWBN I have chosen to step away from being CM and the staff has agreed, unaminously, that Andrew is now to be CM.
He accepted and we also appologized for all the future headaches and frustration he would have to endure.
If in the future you need something CM-related, please speak with him and remember to be kind.
On a side note please remind all the new players that have not joined on to Puppet Prince to please do so. The staff would like to award them XP before game (not during) and bring them further into all the new plot that is about to be DUMPED ON YOU ALL. Also, please send staff comments about any and all things related to the past plots and or types of plots you are interested in. There has also been some personal plots that are being written as we speak for some of the characters. We want to include more of you so let us know if you want in on this stuff too!
There was a ruling that staff made that I keep forgetting and manage to piss on both Pat and Nick about... I have no excuse other than I suck. Please try to play ONE character for the entire night. There are the exceptions of: unless your character has been taken out of play or there are extenuating circumstances where you will have to play another character, or some other unforseen situation (which is a storyteller "catchall"). Staff must be made aware of and give the blessing of such a thing beforehand.
-Jesse

Kindred of the domain of New Rochelle
(OOC Academics for spelling or grammar mistakes)
I am sure that by now, everyone has been made aware of what happened on the evening of our last gathering. Terrible things occurred, and it will take strength, physical, and mental, to put the city back to right. Mistakes that were made that evening will be put right, and they will NOT happen again on my watch. We will rebuild the city better and stronger than it was before. I look forward to everyones efforts towards getting this done quickly.
Not all the news I bring to you all is negative however, I am happy to announce that the cities of Eastchester, Pelham, and Pelham Manor, have now been added to my domain. I thank all of you who have worked to make this domain, more than it was when we arrived here. Those who have helped and struggled with us have been noticed, as has those who have done nothing to add to our home.
Our next meeting place will once again be hosted by Clan Brujah, in a renovated warehouse.
I look forward to seeing you all soon.
Prince Paul Blake
Boom! The Aftermath and "official story"
July 8th, 2014
The City of New Rochelle suffered a devastating explosion that has made a smoking crater out of primarily the main industrial area. The entire sewage treatment plant, a large section of the costal sewer system, the Water Company, and several outlying residential areas have been leveled when a monumental explosion occurred in the middle of the night. Thankfully, through a miracle of pure happenstance, no one was injured and the skeleton crews of both the municipalities were evacuated in the nick of time.
A story relating such splashes across all the local news feeds describing how a dangerous situation suddenly arose when malfunctioning equipment in the sewage treatment plant caused a situation where the employees quickly acted to contain the exponentially volatile situation by removing the equipment before it exploded. With the equipment relocated to the athletic field an even greater explosion that could have caused a greater disaster was averted by the quick thinking heroes. It was further determined that equipment that caused this problem was from a company in China who have recently been brought up for the manufacturing of sub-standard parts.
The local government has enacted a 10pm curfew city wide as well as patrols.
A 200 foot buffer zone has been put in place around the crater of the blast and is being patrolled by police and guard. No one knows how long the cleanup will take, but rest assured there are many efforts being made to make life normal again as soon as possible. Most coastline residents have been asked to relocate till sewage and potable water service has been returned to the area.
A Russian Corporation, Novolipstk Group, has set up a satellite office on Main Street is offering reduced loans to all that were impacted by this tragedy and are willing to offer higher than average buy outs on all outstanding debtors as well to help stabilize the economy for the area. They have offered the free services of one of their subsidiaries, Plotzi, that specializes in large-scale disaster recovery and reclamation. Novolipstk has further declared a unheard of bid to rebuild the sewage treatment plant and Water plant with one of their state- of-the-art facilities that will bring the city in the 21st century and beyond for free. Which they will gladly run at a reduced cost for the city.
The local Global Investments Corporation is offering their considerable resources to aid in further investigating as well as their security firm as needed.
What is not published….
Feeding has become exceedingly difficult for most Kindred. Rumor has it that it will be so for at least the next few months.
Movement after 10 will be very difficult for all who cannot manage to get through security sweeps. All neighborhood watches have been quietly told that they will be in violation of local ordinance and summarily arrested by the National Guard if found out on patrol at any point, not just after curfew.
Premium Pointe: The club on the very tip has been leveled by the explosion. The Toreador Art Salon that was there is no more.
The Warrens have collapsed from the blast as well as Candyman’s personal haven.
There is a rumor going around that most of the Elders in the area are grumbling.
Most become immediately aware that there were many stories being handed into the various news agencies and ALL were thrown out and replaced with the story of this being an industrial accident caused by an outside source’s disregard for manufacturing as stated above.
Corwin’s Gym/ fight club have been wipe off the face of the earth.
Anything further will need to be investigated.
The Sabbat may have left the area… for now.
Vaughn and Enzu have both gone missing; this may be a result of the explosion.
All moorings on the coast are being highly monitored and all water taxi services have been suspended till further notice.
