An Angel dies

by Lex

March 5th, 2010

One night during a normal night in Boston, where all of the Cainites are gathered as per the norm. Rain begins to fall, lightly at first but rather heavily within mere moments. Then, what is that smell? The hairs on your neck stand and the beast shivers with delight. It's blood. Everything smells like blood. The city lights take on a haze, the sounds of dogs barking can be heard everywhere.

 

As the days go buy, the town that looks to have been painted red starts to wash the red stuff off and the news is covered with information on a once in a lifetime algae population explosion that has something to do with the launching of a satelight somewhere and Jupiter being in just the right position, but you know. You know what that was, it was too intoxicating to mistake for anything else. It was a rain of blood.

 

Many of the local Clergy find themselves called upon to discuss these portents. It is known that one of the signs of Gehenna is an angel dies. Various Malkavian Antitribue are verifying that an angel has infact fallen off of it's cloud and Boston has been bathed in the blood of it's divine crash landing. Gehenna is indeed upon us and we are not prepared.

Wrath; Feel mine

by Lex

March 4th, 2010

I have been told this and that. Silly comments here and there, so I will clear the air. Much of this game is dependant on trust. If I find that you will not make path checks unless forced, you will just fail them. If Vincs aren't played worse will happen. Over the past few weeks there has been a lot of fingers pointed. This is my stance. Carry on. Rant concluded.

Earning/Awarding XP

by Kat F

March 2nd, 2010

Hey Guys,

Unless you've talked to me or made a journal entry about how you would rather track your own xp on Puppet, by adding your earned xp entries, I'll be adding xp to your sheets for attending Boston, usually within a week of game.  If people want, I can even post on the journal for Boston that xp has been added to sheets.  If you're attending KONY, or for some reason, Hartford/Springfield/Portland etc, you're responsible for awarding that to yourself.

For people who are STs, you get your xp the same night you run game, assuming you're there to run the game.  If you don't run game that month for whatever reason, no ST xp that month either.  Coords/Subcoords/CMs, you get the xp every month at the start of the month.  If you're putting the Org position on another PC, you don't get it in Boston.  That said, it's totally okay to split the XP up between your PCs.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask, and I shall try to clarify.

Printing of Sheets

by Boston Sabbat Staff

February 11th, 2010

If you need staff to print your sheet for you, please let us know.  By commenting here in this thread, in your character's journal, emailing us at bostonsabbat@gmail.com.  Somehow, please let us know.  The number of people who are showing up to game and asking if we printed their sheet is starting to get out of hand.  We have no issues printing sheets for people, but we need to know.  It's a waste of paper for us to print off everyone's sheet when only a handful of people actually need us to print their sheet.

 

Thank you,
The Staff

Word around the city streets

by Lex

January 28th, 2010

The number of local Loyalists has begun to explode within the greater boston area. Many among them have gathered performing ritae and discussing the recent events in Boston. In thanks to "Bishop Natalie whatever the rest is" Not even a Priscus is above the code. Finally a city that doesn't just talk about it but has decided to "Be about it."

FREAK STORM OFF EAST COAST CLAIMS OVER 50 LIVES

by Stephen McAuliffe

January 12th, 2010

FREAK STORM OFF EAST COAST CLAIMS OVER 50 LIVES

Boston -  A sudden and intense storm came into existence 50 miles west of Boston yesterday, dropping a mix of rain, hail, and snow onto several ships.  The intense wintery mix caused over 50 deaths and a yet unknown number of injuries.  Upwards of 95% of the deaths were aboard the Elizabeth Alden, which was caught in the center of the storm.

Preliminary reports indicate that the Elizabeth Alden had failures in the heating systems which started a chain reaction shutting down many computer controlled systems, including navigation.  As a result the Elizabeth Alden was unable to find its way out storm quickly.

The vast majority of casualties sustained were due to intense hypothermia.  A growing number of missing persons from the Elizabeth Alden has also been reported, although they are presumed to have wash overboard.

The Elizabeth Alden is owned by Vanderbilt & Rosenwald, a medical supply company and subsidiary of Hornby Enterprises LTD.  The Elizabeth Alden was carrying materials needed to manufacture the much needed H1N1 vaccine. Ellis Goldman, a spokesman for Hornby Enterprises, stated that the incident would not impact the supply of the vaccine in any significant way.

Post Game

by Boston Sabbat Staff

December 20th, 2009

Everyone's xp should be updated.  If you got an RP nod, and you don't see the xp for it, my apologies.  I know a lot went out at the end of game, and I got the ones I remembered.  So, if you got an RP nod, and I missed it, award it to yourself.  

I hope everyone had fun at game.  I know we got started a little late, and as such, some things wound up getting pushed back/didn't run as smoothly as planned.  I want to thank Aaron again for stepping in and helping us out, especially with the stuff getting dropped in the main room as Lex, Steve, and myself were running around like crazy people trying to juggle flaming bowling pins.  That said, feel free to post any questions/concerns/comments regarding game here.

Changing Morality Paths

by Kat F

November 19th, 2009

Okay, Lex and I got the rules for switching paths hammered out.  It may change over time as it gets fine tuned and tweaked, as we've not actually used this yet, but right now, it's what we're going with.  

The chop is a static willpower challenge, with three different difficulties based on the differences between your current path and the one you are trying to switch to.

Difficulty 5: If you're switching to a path that has the same virtues as your current path (ie, Humanity to Honorable Accord).

Difficulty 6: If you're switching to a path that has only two virtues virtue in common with your current path (ie, Humanity to Death and the Soul).

Difficulty 7: If you're switching to a path that has only one virtue in common with your current path (ie, Humanity to Power and the Inner Voice).

You may make your first attempt to switch paths at Humanity 2.  If you win outright on this test, you may start at a rating of 2 on the new path.

If your first attempt to switch paths is at Humanity 1, you may make a free retest should you fail the initial challenge.  If you win outright on this test, you may start at a rating of 2 on the new path.

Additionally, when making the challenge to switch paths, you may expend as many PERMANENT willpower traits as you wish, up to your current permanent willpower,  to continue retesting should you fail the initial challenge.  

When making your path switch, you must still spend XP on your new path traits and virtues.  Remember that morality traits are 2xp, while virtues are 3xp each.
