Auckland
#1

Myself, Dave, Taz, Becky and Nikki shall be running a new White Wolf, Mind’s Eye Theatre larp, to start late February 2010. It is vampire’s only, set in Auckland, modern day.

Our new forum is up and running at: http://newhorizons.vampire-legend.com/forum.htm

We are currently accepting character concept submissions. We are running an established city, and so we encourage the formation of integrated concepts to create coteries and family ties.

Players of all experience levels welcome. For more info, sign up to our forum.

Hi Zannii

We will only know closer to the game if we will need NPCs or not. We will keep you posted. However, if you need help creating a character, and you would like to play, let us know nd we will see what we can sort for you.

Thanks

Nikki

Alrighty,

We have had several character concepts which have already been submitted and approved. The ST’s are meeting for the last tim before the holiday season, this Friday.

So if you want your character concept approved before January, get it in to us on the New Horizons forum before this Friday.

Thanks

Nikki

Nikki your avatar has died

somewhere in the new horizons forum or here, you need to post a copy of the rules coz for those of us who didn’t play requiem and are being carjooled into playing this one, we don’t have copies :slight_smile: hence can’t make character concepts

#12

The problem there is the rules are copyrighted so they can’t post up copies. Ask around, I’m sure you can find someone who has the book or access to the book

HI Prema

The Requiem rules can look daunting for someone who has never playd before. I know! I was a newbie only 2 years ago!!!

If you PM me your email address I can send you a PDF copy of the rules, if you would like help creating a character, the best way to do this is to find a player who you want to play with and knows what their doing and ask them to help you crerate a character (we really encourage linked back stories)

Otherwise I am going to discuss at teh ST meeting tomorrow night, that we hold a “Character Creation” workshop day, to help new players.

Dont let the complication of the rules put you off, it is very worth it in the end, as some of the most intense roleplaying I have experienced was in the previous Requiem game.

Cheers

Nikki

Character creation workshop sounds like a good idea, I’m sure we can find some time somewhere for it. I expect the others will be keen too.

Otherwise Nikki’s right, linking yourself with another player is the easiest way to get involved. We suggest that new players might like to play ‘fledglings’ - new vampires that have only been turned into vampires within the last year. That way, you have a player who is your sire who is responsible for teaching you all about vampire society. You can learn as your character does.

I’d also suggest thinking about modern day concepts that you might enjoy playing. Start with the human, and then the vampire tends to flow from there. Why were you chosen? What was special about you that made someone decide to give you immortality?

We have decided to go ahead with a character creation day, but haven’t set a date for it yet. It will probably be in late January or early February.

In the mean time, if you want to create a character concept, you can read the links posted in the Welcome to New Horizons forum, here. This has basic information about the setting, the vampire clans and the covenants.

Then you can check out our Lonely Hearts Club forum and see if there is anyone that you could link up with, to create characters that link with other players.

And if you have any questions, we are happy to help. You can ask questions on the New Horizons forums, either openly for everyone to help with, or in your personal forum if you just want to ask the STs.
