The Bay Area Masquerade

Yeah, I think a certain dark flamingo god used to be responsible for that..

Seconding this. Recent events have taken their toll on me mentally and emotionally, even physically as the stress manifests in strange ways, and I just don't have it in me to deal with all of it right now. If you honestly care what I think, feel free to contact me and I may respond if I feel up to i...

Thank you for all your offers; if it's still an issue when court is rescheduled I will talk to everyone about it then. ;)

After some last minute musical chairs, I will be hosting court.. however, I need chairs for it! If you have some to spare, please let me know. Other decorations would also be greatly appreciated since I don't have a lot of cash to spare this week, and I will be taking public transit to game so getti...

I think it was a bit of a headache to figure out how to parcel everything out, but other than that I don't expect it will have a huge impact on how I play. Jane does patrolling downtimes pretty much every week anyway. Sometimes I run into plot because of it, but I wouldn't say any of it has been for...

PS: I was wrong last night when I said being nice to a Caitiff was a lesser status ban. Not sure where I remember that from. You know, I could have sworn I heard this somewhere else as well. Maybe it was in a previous draft of the BNS system or something, or someone remembered the rule wrong and ac...

Thanks for the heads up. Saw there was supposed to be another storm coming in but I didn't realize it was this soon.

I think one possible solution would be that characters who frequently commit heinous activities "earn" the nightmares flaw but receive no points for it. Having nightmares would mean it takes longer to lose beast traits and it makes sense that repeated atrocities would eventually take their toll on a...

I'm all for having consequences to your actions, but I feel that this is something that should have been addressed sooner. Changing the way downtime works after all downtimes have been answered and retroactively applying the rules change to certain actions is sort of a dick move.

I plan to attend.

Yeah, it's not just you. If you have (or want to download) an IRC client like mIRC, Trillian, or something else, we can help you set it up instead. It's actually pretty easy to do, and I think there's already a guide for it on the forums somewhere.

I like doing spends in person, but if people also want to do so online I don't see a problem with it. If staff is concerned with how long check-in takes, may I propose that we have two check-in stations? We have four members of staff and I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to divide the sheets up...

If staff wants a copy of my sheet online for downtime purposes, that's fine, but when I am at game I want a hard copy in my hand. I don't have a smartphone and I'm not going to hunt down someone who does every time I want to know what my stats are. I also need a hard copy because electronic sheets h...

I've taken a glance at some of the clan blurbs, and I think some of it is a little lopsided. I think that if we were going to use it, it would take some serious re-working to make it work with our game. A few things that stood out to me: -There is a 2 point merit that allows Toreador to purchase the...

Damn, I've been meaning to ask the same question. I really would like to turn this feature off.

We're not planning to go to the first Gaslight session, and I think Adam has something else in mind for costuming if we do go, so it shouldn't be a problem if Tom wants to borrow it.

Oh hell yes.

I heard Lennet is a pretty cool guy. He kills whores and doesn't afraid of anything.

I know that there are many talented artists in the group, and many of us will be making our own costume pieces for this event. People are already planning costumes, and some of you are going all out! There are also many of us that lack the time or skills required to make something, or the money to b...
