Lets get dirty like a french whore, Yeah we are going to be going bareback. I'm just going to post a brief back story. You can pm me for more questions I'll probably be drawing up a world map some time soon.
Are there Aliens?
No Space travel has been consider invaluable research.
Laser beams?
Yeah but it will cost you arm leg and right testicle. That might be a literal statement as much as it is metaphoric.
What can I play non-vampire?
Humans, Well that's with out a back story. Fimori and Ratkin are acceptable choices with a back story. Garou are all almost dead due to corruption from the "Weaver" they tried to fight the remaining changing breeds and by a fluke made it out with 10% of their starting forces.
How far in the future are we?
1100 years, 11 months, and 20 days.
What is the purpose of the game?
To develop a deeper story and show everyone what it feels like to play the power house we work so hard to get yet keep the odds evenly match with our enemies. Also trying to make a set of rules that fixes any issues I've heard.
What Clans/Bloodlines are playable?
All the main clans replacing Giovanni with Harbingers of Skull and Tremere with Salubri. Mostly all White Wolf Official bloodlines except True Brujah. If you have doubt Pm me.
Is Vicissitude still a disease with Tzimice dead?
No and Tzimice have a new advantage were as before it was that Vicissitude couldn't take them over. Now they act as if they have the Merit Primordial Mud, this means that use of Vissitude on there own body unless other wise stated can be done with a thought. Also any use of Vissitude on yourself doesnt count towards the three uses per-night before you test for derangements.
I'll post more answers as you ask.
Now on to my short story time. I dont have the time to get into detail of the whole world complete history but, I'll give you the jist of what you need to know until you start asking more.
We Vampires had a great war for freedom, it all started in 2020. Ravnos, Salubri, Tzimice, and Giovanni all propitiated in this vampiric war. To be short Salubri in Tremere's body destroyed The Tremere Counsel. Ravnos and all his descendants swarmed upon the Justicars. It then broke out into an all out war the Sabbat and Anarchs joining forces to march against the Camarilla. Clans Giovanni and Tremere where hunted to extinction. It took a hundred years of kindred killing kindred to end the savage slaughtering. We lost all our ties with humanity focusing on rebuilding our own race. Tzimice died fighting against the Tremere. The human world soon fell to pieces with out puppet masters to pull the strings Their hatred for each other got the best of them. They survived a nuclear holocaust, the world became a barren place, some of them forbid technology claiming it caused this worlds state. Which in truth it die but, it was more so the idiots wielding the technology we should blame. We all found our own way of life the world has gotten much better the land has taking time to repair. Though a lot of the world is covered in a dried out damaged crust still. A lot of vampires have found protection work with Pentex one of the two major companies in this new world. There products specialize in Genetics, Medical Care, and Weaponary. They're leading competitor is Metacorp whom specializes in Cybernetics and Non-Cybernetic Technology.
