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.

House Rules

House Rules for Seasons of Strange: City on the Sound
Our House Rules are a living document. As time passes they will change and evolve as we experience more and learn from mistakes and discoveries.
For the most part, we will be playing directly from the Laws of the Night (LotN). Most of the House Rules will be clarification of rules already in play, but are nebulous or easy to misinterpret.
The Staff reserves the right to make a rules call on anything not currently covered in the House Rules and we will endevour to include any new rules which must be clarified in the House Rules.
Communication:
Any and all IC communication should CC the staff (Strange_Staff@googlegroups.com) in order to be considered valid.
Character Creation:
All merits and flaws must be intended for Vampires. Some exceptions will be made on a case by case basis. When in doubt, ask an ST.
All character must begin play on humanity.
Disciplines:
The body of all characters using "out of body" powers (i.e.: Possession, Astral Projection, Subsume) must have their bodies within the jusistiction of, and in the control of the ST staff. Staff must also be informed of the location of the characters body at all times.
Dementation: Voice of Madness: A willpower may nmot be spent to ignore the virtue challenge portion of this power.
Fortitude: Aegis: Aegis must be declared before any of the staking simple challenges are thrown in order for Aegis to be effective.
Thanatosis: Withering: Withering a Vampires head causes them to lose access to all disciplines EXCEPT Potence, Celerity, and Fortitude.
Backgrounds:
Retainers of any stripe will be run straight from the book as starting "characters" of their genre. They will not gain XP. There are however some Merits which allow a greater than average retainer of some types. You are allowed a maximum of 5 dots in any particular type of retainer however (if you have the means). This includes, but is not limited to, Retainer, Animal Retainer, Wraith Retainer, Spirit Slave.
Influence:
The Dark Epics Influence rules will be in effect, their description begins on pg: 56.
Traits:
You may only gain bonus traits from only a single of any given type (i.e.: Merits/flaws, disciplines, magic items) in any given challenge
Languages:
We will be using the doubling language scale found in the Kindred of the East sourcebook.
Dark Epics:
For the sake of brevity, I will list the optional rules which we will be using from the Dark Epics book.
1) Retests, pg: 70
2) Movement in Combat, pg: 71
3) Two-weapon Combat, pg: 71
4) Noticing powers in effect, pg: 72
5) Explosives, pg:50
