…..it seems like there is a lot of interested players, so I will wait in the shadows and come out if needed.
Eh, only 6 concepts so far. Speaking as an ST myself it is always better to have as many options as possible - better chance to assemble a coherent and well-functioning coeterie/pack. So if you're interested - why not come up with something? Concepts and ideas can always be adjusted. @Thielindra

Thanks for all the cheerleading, @reversia.ch . You'll get some extra freebie points!

I've enjoyed many of the character concepts pitches for far, and my plan remains to extend invitations tonight. I will lean more toward characters that shy away from the broody loner stereotype; they don't need to be extroverted but they must at least have the will to seek to engage.

To any prospective players who've not yet reached out, you've still got ten hours or so to get ideas in.

While I've generated a number of NPCs to populate Phoenix, I've left most of the politics of the city somewhat undefined for now. My plan is to have character creation done in private threads, with backstory and network development so we can all jump in with the right tools to navigating a political sandbox. Then I'll flesh out the rest of the city's kindred and include ties (good and bad) suggested by the PCs stories.

Seems like there's a bit less interest than I thought there'd be. Which might be because folks simply missed the ad? It'd be pretty unfortunate to miss a fairly rare VtM fare. In which case, a just-in-case emergency summon!

@valentine_teddies @Camilla @Kier01 @Neil @Crowjane @emsquared (currently afk, but maybe will make it?) @vicky_molokh @eldarin @DragonDweller62 @Kingo @virtualbasement @The_Librarian @witchdoctor @Gearspark

And my shovelheads @rabble @Redcroc @JarOfPickles in case you guys were interested.

That's everyone I could think of. If you already saw this and decided to pass on it - sorry to bother you and I hope you have a great day!
Thank you for the ping! I probably won't be able to apply, since I'm traveling out of the country at the moment and I don't think the setting is for me. However, I really appreciate you considering me!

My stuffy and insufferable Tremere academic at Arizona State is on the way, so lemme pitch for a spot! (Should've been a Brujah, but that's part of the backstory).

Gimme politics and restrictive masquerade rules with harsh penalties, why else would our kindred be Camarilla? I enjoy a game with socials and debts and consequences, where there are no perfect decisions, only pragmatic ones. But I'm excited to play most flavours of VtM except dungeoncrawls (is this even a thing?). Thanks for a potential opportunity!

Thanks again for the interest shown. My preference is for a more or less straight-forward Camarilla game, rather than a sort of counter-culture backlash against the same, and so my choices have reflected that. I also like to mix new-to-me players along with a few ones I know are reliable.

I was intrigued the most by the pitches by @Delirium, @lazyflux, @Makkiu and @reversia.ch (the FBI concept), and I add @bedzoneII and @thielindra (who pitched in private). I think six players is the most that I can make work in PBP.

I'll send invitations to the game (if you're new to the site, you'll likely get an email, but you'll also see the invitation on the front page, or be going to the game details from the top post in this thread).

Recruitment is now closed.

Hey Qralloq, apologies, I was on holiday.

But also, when I replied to the poll, I marked my interest as being in V5.

I just have no interest in playing in older editions of WoD anymore, other than 5th and CoD/nWoD lines :/

Hi Qralloq, sorry I missed this one. I've had a busy week so perhaps it wasn't meant to be for now. You can add me to the waiting list and I can chime in again once I've thought more about a character concept. Thanks for inviting me! Big fan of Camarilla games even if they get seen as the "default" game mode. I look forward to seeing how this one pans out!

I have an unfortunate inactive V5 game I'll be looking to restart. Putting it here first. :)

Sorry I missed you, too! I'll keep you on the list.

My apologies, Qralloq, I was logged out and didn't realise. Hope it runs sweetly.
