The Bay Area Masquerade

Does anyone have pictures that were taken on the roof of the CVS, in the CPA underground, or another parking structure or parking lot? Preferably with obvious costuming, but just hanging around is fine. It's for a work project, probably internal use only. We design and build parking structures, and ...

Works for me! Twoey - try Ctrl+F5?

Success! Thanks Adam!

Android: would not connect to BAM, but could connect to DP. Restart did not fix. "disabling" chrome did not fix. Uninstalled all chrome updates, restarted phone, re-applied chrome updates - this fixed it. iPhone: Cannot connect to BAM, can connect to DP. I don't know enough about the device to do th...

Try that?

"Staff" is a group list - the only one we've got. Here's how to message us as a group. 1) Open your User Control Panel and select Private Messages tab. 2) Locate "Staff" in the upper right corner of the panel, highlight, and click "add" select and add tiny.PNG [/size] This will add "Staff" as a grou...

Current as of 11/3/2016. Official up-to-date version is on the wiki at Rules Thou Shalt Not Break . These are the most important and immutable rules of MET, the ones that keep your game and your players safe from folks who either don't care that you're playing a game, or who take the game way too se...

Current as of 11/3/2016. Official up-to-date version is on the wiki at Discipline and Standards Policy . The purpose of this page is to document our expectations for player behavior, and how you can expect Staff to respond to a complaint. Because Vampire the Masquerade is a setting of strife and bac...

Welcome!

Here's a link to the Rules Thou Shalt Not Break, a basic guide to how we expect you to behave at game.

Here's a link to our Standards and Discipline Policy, which details out our very simple rules, what to do if you have a complaint, and how you can expect it to be handled.

I think the answer is to just not have PM groups, since they are by definition public.

I didn't realize there had been more than one incident (we have no oversight into PMs) so thanks for the heads up.

Now updated with no more archery - and my sincere apologies that this is only like a year late...

Characters should NOT generally be able to tell if a given piece of art has Absent Sway, unless they are either versed in the power itself, have an appropriate lore, or spend a good deal of time and repeated experiences with the art. I for one will certainly be playing most of my NPCs blind to abse...

I can give it a go.

This is my happy dance:

Can we make this default to unchecked?

Retainers are a quarter-sheet page, just like the books. I'll see if I can make a printer-friendly version and add to the existing PDF.

Please show me, where there is anywhere "punishment" listed for not patrolling? Fourth, it also opens up specific rewards. This will be more clear as plots surrounding feeding grounds develop over time - but there will be some rewards for those who maintain well patrolled grounds, and penalties for...

Please show me, where there is anywhere "punishment" listed for not patrolling? The mechanic is simply: if you patrol, you are more likely to catch an interloper. That's it. If someone decides to feed in your hunting grounds, patrolling determines whether they get caught. Please also note, because I...

Why again is a Path a 3 point merit and not a 3 point flaw. Also, what are you doing about the characters on a path who have greater than 1 status. First: Because the Camarilla values Humanitas, so being on a path requires you to use your special snowflake points. Second: being on a path is a lesse...

as a general rule, yes, active years would include years as a ghoul.

okie doke. It boils down to how irritating you find the new-account-creation process. You must create sub-accounts from within master accounts. You cannot create sub-accounts from within a sub-account. However: You can then unlink the accounts, log into the newly-created no-longer-a-sub account, and...

First - to clarify - you only *really* need a master account when your prime/main is retired.You DO need a separate character account for each character, and you may not re-use the same account for more than one character. But both the Aoife and Melissa accounts are fine until/unless you retire thos...

TL;DR for existing players: Now you can create character accounts from within your main, no math quiz or captcha required!! For our forums, we utilize a linked account process that includes both player and character accounts. Here's how that works. The first account is your main/master/primary acco...

Out of curiosity, am I allowed to come into game with beast traits if I choose to? Lets say I feel that I've done something particularly heinous, whether or not Staff agrees with that assessment. While technically the rules state that the traits should reset between games, can I elect to come in wi...
