In nWoD difficulty doesn't change, your dice pool does.  So as long as you keep the default roller, you're fine.

James Warden:
Is 8 the standard difficulty?


You can just use the default dice roller for the game, which is set up to use the NWOD 1E system. And 8 is the success threshold, meaning rolling an 8 or higher is considered a success.

Re: OOC Chatter, Q&A, etc.

Also does one roll a d10 for starting blood and then roll to feed and is it Pre+Potency+herd and haven or does herd and haven just count as an auto succ?

In reply to James Warden (msg # 312):

in the House Rules thread, Feeding is outlined as starting a scene with our Humanity score in Vitae, +1 for each dot of Herd or Haven Location, and then -1 for each Ghoul

There are then a couple of options for going out and feeding beyond starting blood.

Accidentally posted this in the IC thread, so deleted it and put it in the right place.

Out of curiosity, is it Sir Felix or Sir Tapper? Knights are generally referred to by first name, like most titles of nobility. Sir Lancelot (du Lac), Sir Elton (John). Prince Harry. Queen Victoria. Is it different for the Invictus?

Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth are not good examples, because you know you wouldn’t refer to the Prince in such a manner within the Invictus! Regardless, one does still use the last name given forms of address within the Covenant. Using a first name is always implying familiarity and possible intimacy of sorts. Formal address of a knight would be Sir/Dame Knight, or Sir/Dame (insert last name).

Clearly the vamps are just really into shark monsters and are using Invictus double speak.

Re: OOC Chatter, Q&A, etc.

Just FYI -- I'm still adding things to the map for this game (link found in setting/background thread) and will continue to do so as things progress. In the meantime, if your character has a business or some other location if importance that is publicly known, do let me know so I can add a pin to the map! You'll notice the Elysium's location is now pinned on there, as well as Borderlands and a couple of other places.

Re: OOC Chatter, Q&A, etc.

Afternoon all, hopefully will be wrapped up shortly so that I can join in on the fun times...well figuratively speaking of course, lol.

While I shore up some more of my background perhaps I can see if Ryoto has any previous contact with anyone, or wants to be connected in some way with him.

...

I know I'm a real latecomer so I'm not expecting anything till I make them in game :)

Re: OOC Chatter, Q&A, etc.

Happy to have you on board! You haven't missed any boats. PCs are just mingling in court and some players are PMing each other with little background hook ideas.

I personally don't go too deep because I know characters can change as soon as people get a feel for what works, but the launch points have been fun.

First of all, I want to say I love how great players we have, the thread is a joy to read, if I just can abandon the fact that I can not keep up with the actual plots going on.

Second, I will be heading to the more rural parts of Finland this weekend. Though I have been told the might Internet can be found there too, I might not be bale to read let alone post during the weekend.

Have a great time! I've been enjoying myself too, though the pacing of the posts have been keeping me a bit overwhelmed. I'll try and make at least one more post today, but then I won't be available again till Sunday. There's no guarantee I'll be able to post when I get home because I'll like be tired.

Bring in the Prince.

When that happens I’m sure it will slow down some cause there will be a lot of hushing and plotting

Re: OOC Chatter, Q&A, etc.

A few of us are way faster than average PbP speed for sure. We could free up the thread by moving to a side thread in PMs if people would find that more helpful?

My focus has been networking my PC so I can do scenes with people later at their speed. People have been good so far about not treating people who haven't responded yet as "remaining silent" or "ignoring" In-Character.

Have fun this weekend Gabriel!

I plan to do so soon. Was trying to give the couple newest arrivals a bit of time to finalize sheets and enter the scene.

Afterwards, there will be more scenes for people to connect in smaller groups and post at their own pace :)

Re: OOC Chatter, Q&A, etc.

Hey guys. At some point earlier Ophelia put her mask of Tranquility back up. Because I copy/pasted my header before I corrected it in my notes, it didn't get updated for further posts. I'm not asking anyone to change what's already been written or done, but just wanted to give a heads up for further posts if they happen before I get a chance to post again (May not be able to till Sunday).

Oof, I didn't get time to post this morning and now I'm out and about probably for the rest of the day :o  I should be able to post in the evening, but nobody wait up for me!

Who are we kidding, nobody in this Elysium is waiting ;)
