Someone has to decide where the trade is being made, unless the coterie is handing out phos rounds in the street.
(Admittedly that might be overlooked in NYC, but I wouldn't risk it.)

I'm sure the studio has a backlot for unloading band equipment. It wouldn't look out of place for some shitty van to pull up and take boxes out of it and into the building.

Just finished writing something up. Left you an opening if you want to suggest it.

cj iwakura · April 11

It's enough ammunition and weaponry that it couldn't be conspicuously carried around.

Ardent · April 11

"We succeeded in every expectation made, bigly."

Probably just want to find a place without street cams. I'm guessing that's like Perception + Streetwise + Auspex?

Geth roll 5d10o10h8 for "no cameras, low witness chance"

5d10o10h8 1 [5d10o10h8=1, 4, 7, 9, 4]

cj iwakura · April 12

The back alley would do, or an adjacent side street.

Grunt's Ghosts · April 12

Can we get those character sheets from a few pages back onto the OP?

cj iwakura · April 12

Sure. Thought I'd done that already...

Guess not, heh. Updated.

cj iwakura · April 19

What specifically is Max wanting a lead on?

Fencingsax · April 19

Thank you, Kenneth is exactly what I meant.

Grunt's Ghosts · April 19

And now Lizzy's position as Sybil's spy is safely secured...

Maclay · April 19

Time will tell...

Anyway, rule question. Based on my last few perception checks, my impression has become that if I want to perceive non-magic stuff I should explicitly not include Auspex in the roll. Is this correct? Follow up: If so, in cases where I want to look for both magical and non-magical stuff, should I make two entirely separate rolls?

cj iwakura · April 19

Auspex will give you more insight into the supernatural-skewed occurrences, though those insights could be vague given Danny's Malkavian blood. Or possibly more informative. Anything else would be the non supernatural. You could use Auspex to strictly focus on non-magical if preferred, though it could still be Malk-flavored as a result.

Maclay · April 20

Okay. I'll try to keep that in mind, thanks.

AustinP0027 · April 20

Just a quick heads up, I am having back surgery tomorrow morning, so I'm going to be MIA probably all weekend. I'm guessing I'll be back to being able to be online by Monday, but if something kicks off this weekend, just drag Alex along, don't feel like you need to wait for me.

No problem. Hope everything goes well.

AustinP0027 · April 20

Never mind. Somewhere between the doctor office and the insurance company someone screwed up so now it had to be rescheduled two weeks out.

AustinP0027 · April 26

Going to be MIA a bit. Ended up in the ER due to pain and looks like I'll likely be here till they get the surgery taken care of

Ardent · April 26

Sucks. Good luck!

cj iwakura · April 29

Are we waiting for Austin to recover? Because I am 100% fine with that.

Maclay · April 29

I figured that was the case and I'm okay with it too.

AustinP0027 · May 1

Sorry all, but I think I'm going to have to drop out.

Had the back surgery but still dealing with a lot of pain around recovering from that and it's generally keeping me from doing much of anything other than sitting propped up on a couch.

I have no idea when I'd be able to get back into shape to follow the game, and I don't want to leave you all constantly waiting on me to do things.

Sorry!

cj iwakura · May 1

I can't speak for everyone, so I'm fine with the group preference, but I don't mind waiting for you to recover.

Grunt's Ghosts · May 2

I'm cool if we want to take a break while you recover. We've been going almost a year now (which has taken us three nights game time!) so I think this group will still be around when you are feeling better.

Fencingsax · May 2

Waiting is fine. Just someone remember to type a recap!

I'll do better, I'll have one filmed.

Ardent · May 3

That show.

cj iwakura · May 3

It had its moments. Lacked Tremere, though.

Grunt's Ghosts · May 3

Lacked Nosferatu.

What they call Nosferatu were too pretty to be one.

Grunt's Ghosts · May 20

Sometimes the world just knows who you really are.
Sometimes it doesn't have to look that far...

cj iwakura · May 20

Austin is keeping in touch, by the way, so no cause for concern there.

If anyone wants to crunch character sheet numbers or request information in the meantime, feel free. (Downtime actions are also viable.)

AustinP0027 · May 30

Whew! Sorry about all that!

First of all, I appreciate everyone taking a "time out" to pause the game so I could come back. Thank you!

I'm pretty much healed up, so I should be good to go to come back full time and feel like I can actually participate regularly.

So, where were we? I remember something about vampires.....

cj iwakura · May 30

I assume everyone else is still good? I can recap if needed and update the IC thread this evening.

Grunt's Ghosts · May 30

Good to see that Austin is back in the game.
We are still looking for whatshisname.
In the ghetto we were told he would be
And we asked a hobo to tell us things he sees.
Then there was a car that followed us close behind.
But they saw we weren't there to bust their grind.
And now we are basically out of clues
And the Prince is waiting to hear from our crew.

cj iwakura · May 31

The group reached the museum, last it seems. They'll have to get past the cop if they plan to investigate it.

Maclay · May 31

Do we need to summon the others? Meanwhile, as I recall Kenneth disappeared outside the museum, so we might get away with just keeping him distracted while we poke around? Might be handy to find out his thoughts on things if anyone is that way inclined.

Fencingsax · May 31

There may be clues on the premesis, or perhaps a seciroty system saw what happened. We need to get in there.

Maclay · May 31

Seems reasonable. If no one else does, I can put something together later in the day, just to get the ball rolling. Not really around right now.

cj iwakura · June 1

@Ardent @Boozer
Just making sure you're aware we're back on and that you're both good to go.

Boozer · June 1

Awesome, I'll post something today Friday.
