Re: Laws of the Night OOC and Discussion
XD I guess it wouldn't work on some players, but I get attached to NPC's way too easily. On the other hand, I've been on the edge of my seat for most of this prologue, so that's a good thing! (I think I'm just not used to having ST's in control of every little thing... usually my games with other folks are equal so it's taking some getting used to!)
Can't wait to see if Jaylene wanders in, grumbling bloody murder about the same kindred that everyone else is all sparkly-eyed and bushy-tailed over being saved by!
And this is a random question, since I know that it's not likely to come up in the game, but I remember in a long-ago previous reading of the V:tM guide of a friend's that vampires/kindred are essentially sexless in that their sexual organs just don't work any more? Asking because I was reading that wiki that Rule had linked and there were some mentions on various pages that seemed to contradict that. XD It seems like an odd quirk, given how vampires have been so romanticized and sexualized... I wonder if the creators added that twist (if it's true) to keep players from focusing solely on that aspect?
As undead creatures, they generally don't work at all down there, though as with any other function of a living body, they can spend a blood point to simulate the effects, man or woman. Problem with that is, they still derive no pleasure from it themselves, so it's entirely for the benefit of the mortal partner, and really, the Kiss feels an order of magnitude better, so why bother?
Now, little known fact, but the Tremere has a ritual that actually allows them to actually feel pleasure from sex, but it's a closely guarded secret...
I sooooo get attached to NPCs too. Usually they're mine but I took an instant like to Raven, just ask Shrike *laughs* And, well, Izzy isn't moon-eyes over Vincent, so that's one in your corner (for the time being.) I think if she heard both stories, she'd come to the same conclusion, but then, if you've read her prologue, you know another reason why she'd be in your corner, Wall *laughs* Also, not saying that he can't be a hypocrite, it makes it more fun to boo and hiss at him from the sidelines.
Edit: Right, I was gonna make comments about sex. It is pretty much like Shrike said. Of course, pending on the type of game, you still have vampires that are bonking each other, but that was wayback, online, semi-free form stuff *laughs* I still remember people thinking my character was boffing the Sheriff and while I will conceded that Mary did have a relationship with him, there was absolutely no sex. Not that we argued to the contrary *winks*
You guy's may hate me for this, but I like Vincent. He may be a dick, but he's doing what he's supposed to. Of course that could just be because I'm more of a lawful neutral type person to put it in D&D terms. Never let me play a paladin in a group, I'm a dick.
On a side note I don't know how much you've read about your clan Wallpaper, but I think you're playing Brujah perfectly.
I don't blame you for not having a kook, they seem the type that will get missplayed by just about everyone. Even if they are a good roleplayer.
Finally I'm just curious, if it's supposed to be a secret or something don't tell me, but what was up with the whole CD player not making any sound in Seth's car. I was going to ask this morning, but I fell asleep and drooled all over my keyboard.
Again, agreed, but that still doesn't mean he can't be hypocritical with the whole Rosary thing. And yeah, I don't think I could play a Kook right, even after all my experience with the game. And totally forgot about that, Ronny. I think I thought about it when it happened, then got caught up in the other stories, hehe.
I'm leaving later today... sooooo if I get on to the internet, it'll be on sunday or monday, most likely. But, if I can't get on at all, I'll be gone for a month. Have fun!
Have fun, Tsuki! Come see us if/when you can, but otherwise, enjoy the time off!
