I want to get an idea of how many people would like to play in an online only vampire game set in Oklahoma City. I do not have many details set up right now and will not be ready for a bit, but i need to get an idea of how many people want to play in order to decide how I would like to set this up.

One big question that I will ask and I'm sure many others would if I don't: "New or old vampire?"

I might be in for an oWoD.

true. i'd play either, but i prefer the owod story all in all. nwod mechanics are at times better, and the clans are better for larp... but that stuff doesn't matter for boards as much, as long as you are the one doing all the rolling.

meh. i don't care upon deeper thought. whatever.

I kind of want to run nwod to get more of a feel for that system. I think the somewhat more simplified system makes things run smoother. If people are more up for owod i might be willing to switch to that. Not a huge deal since i really do not have much written up and will not have to change many details at this point

I am all for it. How are you thinking you might run it? Forum or something like skype?

I am thinking it would be forum based. That way as you all come up with stuff you want to do or explore i can have more time to react to what you want or do.

Thinking on it some though I think I may just go with oWod since I know it better. So input please, unless Rydi, Avilister, Durden, and Angel are all that have some.

I am up for either and am equally unproficient with either set or rules. :lol:

I hate the way you are playing with the droplet.

how would people feel about mixing the two a bit. keep the old wod rules and clans, but take the factions from nwod. Some clans of course would be factions in and of themselves, like Giovanni or possibly Ravnos, but most factions would transcend clan.

I like this idea because it makes Kindred society less black and blacker (Camrilla v. Sabbat). It gives people of differing clans to trust each other more and can increase political tension a bit without making it devolve into a faction war.

fine with me. keep the clans, add the covenants in place of the shitty cam/sabbat dichotomy.

owod or nwod system mechanics? if you are keeping the old clans you run into some conversion probs i've found...

like i said the owod rules so that i can keep the old clans. Some problems will arrise from the covenants that have special powers, but i will work on a way to possibly allow them. Maybe just allow them limited use of thaum.
