Grand Mansion of the Crystalized Dagger

9.11.2001

Hi. I guess after a month a site should come back huh?This place used to be the home of the Keepers of the Crystalized Dagger, but the guild was disbanded. But I still have the spot. I've had it for awhile and I like Angelfire so I'm not deleting it! Everything that once was here I built with my own hands, alone, without help (read, no editors). Everything here now I built myself! Except the Angelfire games in the Basement of course (well duh). I will be more than happy to allow any up-and-coming guild to live here. The only rule is that I remain the Webmaster. Contact me, and we'll work something out.

Only problem is that the URL is fixed, so everything will always have 'crystalized dagger' in it. Consider that. Will it fit your guild name?

In the meantime.. 50 MB of space going to waste! That won't do. So...

Vampires!

For the past 6 months or so I've been in a Mind's Eye Theater-based live-action role-play game. (Mind's Eye btw.. takes the White Wolf tabletops and converts them to live-action. www.white-wolf.com) We were pretending to be Vampires using Laws of the Night and it's various supplements. I left the game for the chronicle-long problems that were there in the beginning. I tried to just take it, but I could only take so much. White Wolf has said that good Storytellers don't force their players into pre-made plotlines, and good Storytellers don't ignore a character's Traits, show favoritism etc etc etc. Well, all these problems were there, and after awhile I left. Things got to me including the social control, or attempts at it. Higgy even offered XP if you went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show! What relation does that have to the game? I'm actually kind of sad that this all happened. I saw a side of myself bending to what the STs were, so I left for that too. So much frustration needed an outlet lest I go insane, and after awhile the website didn't relieve enough, and that's when I noticed what I was becoming. So I left.
Characters:

Renee Perdot- my first char. Literally created on the spot on my first night. Embraced in summer of 2001 at the age of 16. 14th generation Caitiff/Tremere (explained inside). Because of various weaknesses that I wasn't told about until some 3 weeks after her creation, I had a very frustrating time.

"The Star"-This may have been my first live-action but I've done tabletop and every game I've been in I had to be someone weak. Just once I wanted to design a goddess, an angel of death. Estella is my Angel of Death. But unlike the powergamers, I had no clanbook. Everything she has is in Laws of the Night or the Camarilla Guide. I may pick a few Sabbat Guide things now. The only exception is I made her her own Path and her own Discipline. She's not as strong as I aimed, but I'm happy with her. She's a mere 8th generation. But she'd be the strongest I ever played and would actually be difficult to kill. But I'll never play her. STs wouldn't allow it, they'd say she's too strong.And just recently Higgy declared that only he could ever have Vicissitude, which she has.
Meet my Angel, my 8th gen Tremere.

Rosa- I've just started developing this girl, so not much is made. All I can say now is that she's a Hispanic Gangrel. Possibly Hispanic/Native American (Pueblo).

Italian lady- Another new one, created before I left Lonnie's game. A Giovanni madam in command if a fair share of international commerce and trading in spiriti of all sorts, just like the rest of the incestous Giovanni family.
Heh, yea Lonnie. "Kal" isn't his real name, he's really called Lonnie.


Instead, I'm now an ST myself in a game my brother my boyfriend have wanted to run ever since my boyfriend came up here from Las Vegas, Nevada. It's set in a Las Vegas, Nevada, that's been tweaked to be from the World of Darkness. We're not sure what the official White Wolf ruling on Vegas is, but for our game it's run by Sabbat, and the objective is to get it back. I'm in charge of the Independants. Since of all the LARP characters I've made, only one was played and that one was treated horridly, I've made some adjustments and transferred them over. Rosa runs with the anarchs, who are Independant. The Giovanni sells various interesting drinks and objects to the highest bidder, Renee runs a covert Caitiff Coalition that is just getting off the ground, and Estella, who I'm hoping will never come in, occasionally suppiles both Rosa and Renee with a few tricks. I'm hoping that of the four, only Rosa will be a regular, but if worse comes to worse all four will be ready. Please excuse the lack of more information, but the players may well see this and I don't need to add temptation to metagame.

Cardinal Sins: Sin City by Night
On a Geocities website(to lessen chances of players finding THIS one!)
Note:game now down. The STs were forced to move on by life circumstances. The Geocites site will probably be transferred here.

The book story that holds these characters is coming at a fair pace. I changed a few things, indeed the only things I seem to have kept are the clan names and the basic ideas from the tabletop version of the Disciplines. Actually, at this point I've dumped the whole White Wolf universe and am making my own from scratch. This allows me to be fully familiar with all the background, and what's true in the world's myths and what is just a tale told by ignorants. I can't get the straight story about White Wolf, and besides that now thaqt I've seen more of the White Wolf mythos I can't say I'm happy with it. It doesn't fit what I had in mind for my characters.
