Basic game information, please read.

[Assistant ST]

Just wanted to consolidate some basic information that may already be mentioned in other threads.

We do play at a private residence. Dave is our most gracious host, and has a beautiful home that he has been letting us play at. Because of this, we do need to make sure we aren't overly loud when we're outside, as it is a residential neighborhood and we don't want any complaints. Also, once we reach a certain amount of players, we will have to shift sites as his home can only accommodate so many people.

While we are using Dave's home, the fridge is available if you want to bring drinks and snacks. Label items that are for your use only if you are concerned about anyone grabbing something they think is for the 'house'.

Smokers are required to use the front deck to smoke, as there are some players within our group who cannot abide cigarettes for health reasons. Ashtrays will be available, so please do not leave butts in the grass.

Game usually starts between 4:30pm and 5pm and can run as late as 1am, depending on the action going on. A typical evening winds down at midnight. The ST team tries to arrive by 3:30pm-4pm. We arrive early to facilitate downtime activities the players want to pursue, as well as updating character sheets and printing them out for the players. We kindly ask that anyone who will not be able to make it to game give us as much advance notice as possible, especially if your character holds a court position. This can be done either by email, here on the forums, or if you have the ST's phone number, by phone (call or text). We understand completely that life happens and won't be negative about it if you cannot make it. We are only trying to make sure we have a rounded group for the story lines that are taking place.

We award 2exp per game session. A third experience is awarded if you help clean up the various messes that accumulate during a typical night's game. We also reward another experience point for excellent role play if we feel it's warranted.

The current creature type we are running is vampires. We are open to allowing wraiths and werewolves into the game as well, though a robust background story would be a must for such characters. There are multiple copies of the Laws of the Night present at the sessions, as well as almost every other MET source book in print. The setting is Sacramento proper, with an autarch hierarchy in place instead of Camarilla or Sabbat. Most clans are available for play, including Giovanni, Gargoyle, Assamite, Setite, Ravnos, Daughter of Cacophony/Son of Dischord, Tzimisce, and Lasombra. Playing a more rare clan, such as Baali or Samedi, would require ST approval on character creation.

If you have any questions that haven't been covered, feel free to ask.
