My name is Tom Speciale. I have been storytelling Minds Eye Theater for more than 6 years under the name of Theater of the Damned (ToD). Up until 2001 ToD was headquartered in Central Illinois. I have run seven major chronicles (most over 100 players) set in places like Peoria, Illinois; Astoria, Oregon; Austria, Montreal, Venice and South Africa and I hope that you like what ToD has to offer. I run a game unparalleled by most others.
With your participation, I’m starting a 1798 Napoleonic Egypt vampire chronicle that I know will leave you wanting more.
In this chronicle mortals will outnumber the vampires. That's not to say you won't be one of the chosen. Everyone will be involved in Cainite politics, some will be ghouls; some will be newly embraced children of vampire lords. This will be a game built for acting because there will be even fewer vampires than in typical chronicles. You will not be able to fall back on Dread Gaze or Celebrity or Potence. You will have to role-play everything out for fear on being discovered and breaking the Maquerade.
There will be a limited number of Cainites in this chronicle at the start. A random drawing will determine secretly the players who will start off as Cainite Lords. The players will choose their own Clan. They will in turn pick their retainers from among the remaining players. Those players selected to be retainers of Tzimisce will be Revenants. There will be two different random drawings; one drawing for local Egyptian characters and one for foreign characters. The Egyptian vampires will be predominately Setite, Ventrue and Assamite. So, players who want to be with these Egyptian Cainites should make up Egyptian characters. The foreign Cainites may be any of the other Clans and from any other part of Europe.
The vampires who are indigenous to the city will know of each other and will have a Prince (Status very important). Cainites from outside the city will not be known as such and will not know who the vampires in the city are.
