Organisation |
'Prophecies' will be led by one storyteller, assisted by several regular NPC players. This does not mean that one person writes the scripts or commands the lot. The Storyteller makes sure the storyline of 'Prophecies' is synchronised with the other Camarilla storylines, and provides the basic ideas for the session and long-term plotlines. Before each session he meets with the NPC's to discuss his ideas and the NPC's will give their input and ideas for the short- and longterm stories. This way, every NPC can give his input and participate in the creation of the stories, so it's really a team effort. However, a ship can only have one captain, and the final decissions lie with the storyteller. The storyteller provides NPC's with details about their characters and rehearses the parts with the NPC's, so they're well prepared for their parts. Also, a group of people will help with the creation of props and costumes, so the sessions will have the right mood and the NPC's are properly dressed for their parts. This is an important task, as the atmosphere of a session will greatly depend on this. Before each session music will be selected for the more important scenes, as this enhances the mood considerately. One of the most important tasks for the storyteller is to provide the players with good and thorough feedback on the actions they plan between sessions, which will take a good deal of time.
