Domains!

by grah

November 6th, 2013

A lot of you who I know have long held domains haven't spoken to me about any kind of grandfathering.  So this post is to let you know that if you don't at least make contact to start working on this by the New Year, you are considered to have neglected your claims and will have to start over.  I will make this announcement at November game as well.

Some of you have poked me about it and I've fallen a little behind due to working obscene hours, and that's on me--you obviously won't be punished for it and please poke me about it if I don't reach out to you within the hour.

The rest of you, get your claims in, and those of you without grandfathering claims, start snatching up choice territory!  The advantages of Domain are numerous and powerful!

Council stuff

[PROPOSAL] Allowing and Denying Entry Bylaw, Minor Change

Currently this is passing with a majority vote if anyone has concerns or ideas about this speak up will be casting KoNYs vote later before it closes on the 8th.

1. The storytellers of individual chronicles have the right to ban any player or character from their game. Alternatively storytellers may ask a player to temporarily alter their sheet or item cards, or take other actions, to be allowed entry into the chronicle. If a player accepts the requirements to gain entry then they must follow Character Regulations Bylaw Twelve. Any player or character that is banned from a chronicle must be announced on the OWBN-ST and OWBN-Council lists, included in the chronicle report, and the player should be notified if possible.

The original is as follows: 

1. The storytellers of individual chronicles have the right to ban any player or character from their game if s/he would upset game balance or plot. Alternatively storytellers may ask a player to temporarily alter their sheet or item cards to be allowed entry into the chronicle. If a player accepts the changes to gain entry then they must follow Character Regulations Bylaw Twelve. Any player or character that is banned from a chronicle must be announced on the OWBN-ST and OWBN-Council lists, included in the chronicle report, and the player should be notified if possible.

Reasoning:

Currently the bylaws imply that the only reason to ban a player or character is because of IC concerns.  I feel that OOC reasons beyond game balance or plot are also acceptable, as do most STs, especially when it comes to player safety.  This updates the bylaws to reflect this.  It also leaves it up to the ST staff of the game.
I also feel that STs should be able to place requirements on players or characters, beyond changing their sheet, in order to play. For example, a minor who wishes to play must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is responsible for them.  Or telling a visitor, "You can play, but don't use this power on PCs, only NPCs." Again, this is up to the STs of the game.
Basically this is how things already mostly are, but I want the bylaws to reflect that, so that expectations are clear.

Pallagrande is coming!

by Rob S

September 30th, 2013

With the cold winds blowing into the city sending a chill down the spines of the kine, as they bunker down for the dreadful time of the year. The homeless streetwise diving deeper into the dark recesses of the city. Others like a great herd to the cities wild center wishpering in fear of the devils night is once again drawing closer.

Pallagrade is quickly coming upon the crown jewel of the Sabbat. With packs of nomads from near and far finding there way through the wilds and the barrens to the temples of caine. They are as always seeking to bolster their supplies in preperation for the hardy celebrations of the sword. So gather up your pack, dust off your holiday best, and come out with your inner monster; and celebrate with the finest the sword has to offer.

Join your brothers and sisters in one voice.

PRAISE CAINE!

Hey folks! As many of you joined us at KoNY for September or have been marching in the Cardinals army for years, you know that Pallagrande, our annual holiday event, is just around the corner. This October 25th and 26th we invite all Cainites to join us and revel. We will be hosting our festivities at Tada Studios, 15 West 28th Street, NY, NY 10001, Between Broadway and 5th. With a number of our classic little games of instinct and a few new additions. As always we invite all willing and daring enough to put on a Passion play.

As always this is a dry site; so NO DRINKING, at game, and of course no showing up drunk. Any player that violates this policy will be asked to leave. There is going to be after parties, I am sure, so stay tuned. (I know, I know what kinda palla/sabbat event might it be with out spirits of caine or our jungle juice Vaulderie. But we can subsist off the swords convictions for a few nights, and !ALL THE AWESOME FOOD THAT BEN IS MAKING!.)

Stay tuned as more teasers or information about Palla will likely be popping up over the next few weeks.

As well as I am sure a number of visitors will be scouting out for havens to bunker down in during the dreadful sunlight hours. So in that spirit players are invited to post here if they need crash space or can offer crash space.

And let us not forget those wacky nomads that brave the skies and fly. If players are flying in and needing assistance with getting to and from Airports you are also very welcome to post here.

Thank you all for another awesome year.

KoNY staff.
