So I'm trying to get a local drunken tabletop game going and I think I've gotten together enough interest to get a few players, but in order to make it regular, I want the first game to kick ass.

I decided on WoD 2.0, because it's relatively straight-forward as far as mechanics go, and requires a lot less math to do than D&D or D20, which is very helpful considering I intend on being close to as inebriated as my players.

I've also never run a WoD game before, so I needs some practice.

Enter in you guys.

This'll be a Mystery/Horror game using the WoD 2.0 system, theoretically with low PC death, and should be a rather short game. My goal is to have it finished in 5-6 sessions, but we'll see how things progress.

I need at least 4 players and can handle up to 8.

The setting for the game is a fictional town near the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve in Alaska called "North Station." North Station is a hodgepodge town comprised of a number of different people who sort of ended up living in the same area. There's an Iron Mine, a research/preservation station for the ANWR, and the remnants of an Inuit tribe.

The town has just been witness to the first murder in its recorded history, with a few extra complications that will be detailed a bit more once things get going.

Your characters will either be denizens of the town or visitors who have a damn good reason to be somewhere that can only be reached by helicopter, 4WD, or foot.

The game will revolve around solving the murder, and then there'll be some supernatural stuff that shows up as the game progresses.

If you're familiar with WoD, feel free to get to work on making your character, though talk to me some about it before you declare it finished.

Otherwise I'll be happy to explain character creation and help anybody out who needs help.

Any takers?

I may be interested, based on time of play and whatnot.

I think I only have Changeling for 1.0   but I would love to play a redcap...   

Im into it. Baseline humans, you say? So we're all unaware of the supernatural?

I've never played WoD from that point of view.  Are there download-able rules for it anywhere?

I tend to enjoy Changelings so much though .  But I would be more than willing to give this a go :-D.

"So, what do you do up here?"

"I tag polar bears."  *KA-CHAK!*


Edit:  Also not a bad excuse to have access to a helo.

Awww nuts... my entire library is 2nd and 3rd edition.

2.0... I fear change... 

S*S: Yeah, baseline humans. You're no more aware of the supernatural than a real person. It's possible you've had some experience with ghosts, though nothing you'd swear by in front of an audience, and you've seen all the horror movies you care to have.

It sorta depends on how well-trained the wolf is. If you want it to be loyal to you and answer basic dog commands like "Here," "Sit," "Stay," etc. then I'll say level 1. If you want something that will serve as an attack dog and fetch things and do other things that would require a lot of extra training, it'll be a level 2. Either way you're going to have to take at least 3 dots in Animal Ken.

Jabba: Yes, though I sort of have this policy of the better prepared you are ahead of time for the game, the more you'll have to work for it, or translated, no matter how many guns you have, you won't have enough of them.

So pack him full of whatever skills you like, but I'd keep him lightly armed.

Dadu: I've got a .pdf I can send you that has the basics.

His Royal Dorkness: 2.0 is better in every way, trust me.

I haven't read through the Mage source-book yet. Vampires I think are better, simply because now they're less godlike than they used to be, and just strike me as being a bit more balanced over-all.

I've not read through any of the campaigns yet, so I can't vouch for the quality of antagonists.

I'ld be down for playing if you've not filled this up yet.
