Current Events > So I had my first session of the tabletop RPG Vampire: The Masquerade

(+) Yeah! (+)

Played with family. Was so fun, we are all new except the Storyteller (but it was his first time being storyteller). Character creation took lot of time, we are 5 players.

My character sheet, we ignored some more advanced stuff at stsrt.

I play a c-list celebrity who had a lead in a hit show but it was cancelled due to his scandals, almost killing a person at a drunk driving accident, ending up on rehab, then befriending his mentor in NA who makes my dude want to atone for his behavior.
He was a single kid raised by rich influential parents in LA and he was spoiled which caused him to become selfish etc.

As a vampire he struggles with his selfishness and atonement, he wants to redeem himself.

Cant wait how the story unfolds from here on.

Anyone played this?

I have read a lot of material for it but in terms of playing I've only played the Bloodlines game

Why would you play a toreador?

Works with my character background, and I want conflict as 2 others in my group are Nosferatu

I used to be really into reading up on that game. I read a lot of the rule and lore books. I only got to play a few times unfortunately. There was going to be an mmo based on this game. It was going to have mages and werewolves too

Mage the ascension and Werewolf the apocalypse are 2 other rpgs that are set in the same world as VtM. The mmo would combine those 3. It never made it out of planning stages though

Meta hint: celerity is a cheat code.

Currently playing an online game alongside my gf, another couple and the storyteller. Came from D&D 5E so this is a nice change of pace. Play like twice a month, and it's so much fun. Im Brujah and the celerity/potence are no fucking joke

I wanna try to be as social as possible, but I put one point in celerity, well see if I get to use that. Only used awe from precence this session.

I once had a 13 Gen vampire beat up an 8th Gen koldunic sorcerer who was like the 2nd in command of the sabbat using nothing but potence, celerity, and fortitude.

Man I wanna continue our story now. But we wont play until end of october again.

I also gotta practice and remember stuff about my character so I can rollplay better and not step out of character.

Im already hooked, I want to have tabletop RPGs as a new hobby from now on.

Vampire is fun. Used to play every other week, but we switched to Werewolf cause it's easier to be action oriented.

Been thinking of my character, also I have to come up with enemies to him as I have it as a flaw and what group Im infamous at. He had lots of scandals so that can be where its from. Gonna ask the ST if an enemy could be vampire hunters the dude I almost killed drunk driving has sent out for me.

Our group is kinda interesting. Im Toreador, then we have 2 Nosferatu, one Bruja, one Malkavian and one Tremere. Our first meeting none of us trusted eachother and there was already conflict, which is gonna get worse.

I bribed my target with lots of money while the others who spllt up and made deals with their targets that will compromize our initial mission, actually it was the Nosferatu that made the deals, one even made a boon, while the other is trying to play a double agent.

ST accepted my enemies idea, he also has enemies of my Sire planned since he is dabblong in the occult and Toreador that knows about it might target me.

Now I gotta come up with groups to be infamous at, thinikg Anarchists might be a good idea. Other than that Im bland atm.
