Kings of New York

New York, the city that never sleeps. An Ivory Tower. A cesspool. Both Babylon and Bohemia. Home to those who call themselves Sabbat. Denizens of the night, they cry to defy the tyrannous stars and slake their thirst upon those who would see them kneel. Still, they stand at a precipice of inevitability. Can the children of Caine stay united in their holy war, or will they fall upon themselves once more? Only time will tell, and the end of days grows closer with each passing night...

Kings of New York is a One World by Night, Sabbat Vampire, Mind's Eye Theatre game hosted the 4th Monday of every month on our discord.

As said at the last few games we are not wishing to burden any one person with the bill or head ache of feeding all of us hungery hungery panders and real clan sabbat.

So this thread is for the players to state what and how much of what they are bringing. The yearly can I get banged by the Vykos while Lasombra watch in secret envy request thread will be posted later.

If you think of other things that should be added to the list by all means tell me and I will add them.

Palla Grande 2013 Fund Raiser!

Pallae Grande 2013 retests: Starting at the September Kings of New York Game and continuing up into the Palla Grande event, Kings of New York will be selling “Palla Grande 2013” retests. Much like the charity retests of the past, these “Palla Grande 2013” retests may be used in any scene or challenge run by a Storyteller or Narrator. They may not be used against fellow players as per usual, and they last until Palla Grande of next year. “Palla Grande 2013” retests may be purchased at game for five dollars a retest. A player may purchase as many as he so chooses. Each retest will be signed and dated by the storyteller they are purchased from.
Raffle: KoNY will be hosting a raffle for fun prizes next game for your PCs, and help raise money for Palla Grande! One dollar gets you one ticket, with no limit to the amount of tickets you may buy. We will be doing a raffle for each prize at this coming game. Only one person may win one prize (lets spread the wealth). Each prize won comes with an appropriate story for your PC on how they gained their prize. Any prizes won by a player for PC not based in KoNY, have no guarantee they may redeem their prizes in their home game. This year we are doing magic items. These items are NOT Fetishes, but rather strange items one can in theory get in the world of darkness. This list is:

1. Book of Dyzan: An Eastern occult text, reputedly of Tibetan origin, used by Madame Helena P. Blavatsky as the basis for the commentaries which form the first book of her Secret Doctrine. Often described as a puzzling and conflicting book of abstract ideas, the Book of Dyzan is actually an ancient Sanskrit text that gives, by means of esoteric symbolism, the history of the cosmic evolution.

2. Lamp of Alhazred: Mad poet of Sanaá, in Yemen, who is said to have flourished during the period of the Ommiade caliphs, circa 700 A.D. He visited the ruins of Babylon and the subterranean secrets of Memphis and spent ten years alone in the great southern desert of Arabia — the Roba el Khaliyeh or "Empty Space" of the ancients — and "Dahna" or "Crimson" desert of the modern Arabs, which is held to be inhabited by protective evil spirits and monsters of death. Of this desert many strange and unbelievable marvels are told by those who pretend to have penetrated it. In his last years Alhazred dwelt in Damascus. This lamp was created by the Mad Arab in his explorations

3. Cabala of Saboth: This ancient jewish tomb describes the theories and concepts of an ancient god known simply as the worm or Saboth. This creature is a being of destruction and death, but part of the natural cycle of things.

4. Powder of Ibn-Ghazi: This exotic occult powder renders the unseen visible, opening terrifying vistas of reality and our frightful position therein. Powder of Ibn Ghazi has been trusted for centuries for revealing the invisible under conditions of extreme duress, and should be used with great caution. Dr. Francis Morgan's powder is compounded in the day and hour of Saturn, in accordance with the formula first developed by Hamurtash Ibn Al-Ghazi himself, as recorded in the Al-Azif.

5. Dragon's Eyes: This amber stone is rumored to be the Eye of a Dragon from the Mythic Age.

6. Flute of the Outer Gods: This ancient flute was used in the ancient rites of long forgotten gods. It seems to be carved of human bone and has the carvings of runes from a long dead civilization.

7. The King in Yellow:

A bizarre book that contains a play an in depth instructions of how to perform it. The play The King in Yellow has two acts and at least three characters: Cassilda, Camilla, and "The Stranger", who may or may not be the title character. Chambers' story collection excerpts sections from the play to introduce the book as a whole, or individual stories.

8. Blue Watcher of the Pyramid: This relic of Egypt is a small blue stone tablet with carvings of Hieroglyphs.

9. Cultes des Goules: : It is a book of black magic written by Francois-Honore Balfour (Comte d'Erlette) in 1702. It was published in France and later denounced by the church. Only a handful of copies are in existence. One of the known copies was kept for 91 years in an arcane library of the Church of Starry Wisdom in Providence, Rhode Island. After Robert Blake’s mysterious death in 1935, Doctor Dexter removed the grimoire and added it to his library.

10. Ruby of R'lyeh: This jewel is claimed to be from a long forgotten empire who worshipped the gods of the seas. This empire was swallowed by the oceans. The ruby itself sits in an odd serptine sea dragon of alien design black stone idol.

As always, any question let me know1 This auction will be next game!

by Nick Lambaunas

August 31st, 2014

Dearest Brothers and Sisters,

Founded covens and nomadic packs hear my invitation. I implore you all come join us in the Jewel, a city unscratched by civil strife and united by cause. It’s nearly that time of year and Palla Grande will soon be here! The time for celebration and reflection grows near.

The Mad Hatter’s Ball is where it is all going to be happening at. Location will be disclosed when the event grows closer. If the name of the party hasn’t given it away, this will be Wonderland themed. Dress up as your favorite parody or whatever! Regardless, there will be a costume contest, so dress to impress. Make your preparations to go down the rabbit hole, if you’re not prepared with your own psychedelics, I will be taking care of that for you. And speaking of preparations, the City of New York will kindly take any tokens of Herd, or loaned influence to assist in helping secure our party goes off without a hitch shall be appreciated by the diocese.

The Archbishop of Hearts, Ecaterina the Wise, shall be bathed in all of New York’s beauty, any priests who wish to assist me with her bath, please contact me. In addition, priests who wish to help with our feasts and other ritae, please contact me for coordination. All contribution will be taken with honor in the great Diocese of New York City.

I’m sure we will be receiving a visit from the Grand Mistress. Last year she was expecting so much more out of our plays and celebrations. Let us not disappoint a Founder and ensure her visions of a NYC Palla Grande is everything she expects. Let us not just honor her but all the brothers and sisters who make this sect great and have some true Passion Plays to remember. I’m happy to assist with any who need help with this.

That pretty much covers it. Get your asses here.
