Description of the Venue
Las Vegas has seen turmoil over the last twenty-five years, a prince who had no control, a prince who wanted too much, and then there was the prince who thought he could change it all. None of them succeeded and someone kept killing. It started twenty-five years ago with the gruesome and mysterious murder of the Master of Elysium, Father Little. Then one by one kindred met the same horrible fate. Too busy trying to bring about change, the prince along with most of the rest of the kindred missed opportunities to stop the one who hunted them.
Then he appeared, shortly after the death of the latest prince, offering a way out. He made the kindred of Las Vegas believe that their may be a way to survive, at least for the few that were left. At first, no one believed him, and then he took over. He took over because they let him. They, the oldest members of the city, believed that this one kindred could in fact change the fate of Las Vegas. Surely, favors were exchanged, force was exercised, but in the end he had somehow convinced them.
Change is exactly what Las Vegas got in the years after his arrival. It was not easy and it was not instantaneous, but the new prince delivered what he had promised. It has been over 15 years since the last murder of a vampire. Kindred have died but not by the hands of the one who had slain so many in just seven years.
Now Las Vegas has started to flourish again, but the kindred are curious, who was responsible for the murders? Why did they stop? Will they start again? Who can answer their questions? The Prince? The ones he allies himself with? Should they be worried?
The fear and suspicion start to rise as the city prepares for its Centennial celebration. Las Vegas is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States, no wonder kindred keep popping in to stay.
Mechanics
Visiting Players/Characters:
All players planning on playing in a game in Las Vegas should contact the Domain Storyteller within 24 hours of the game they are planning to attend. They must have their character sheet and item cards for all non-standard items signed by their storyteller, including their STs contact information and Camarilla number. All approval numbers must be on the character sheet as well or attached in list form and signed by their ST.
Proxied Characters:
Players wishing to proxy their characters into the Domain must provide 48 hour notice to the Domain Storyteller. Proxy requests must include a copy of their character sheet, as well as their general goals/reasons for coming to Las Vegas and contact information for their ST. Proxying a character to a game will be based on availability of a player to portray the character. Approvals of proxied characters remain within the discretion of the Domain Storyteller.
Travel:
Keep in mind that travel is not always easy for vampires, and all players who are planning to have their characters travel into or out of Las Vegas must contact the Domain Storyteller.
Storyteller Caveat:
The presiding storyteller of a game has the right to disallow any character from the game.
Experience Points Awarded:
Base XP of all games will be 2 XP, additional XP will be awarded based on storyteller discretion of whether a character has taken part in a significant aspect of the game and role-playing of a characters flaw. In addition, up to 1 additional XP will be awarded per month for costuming, based on storyteller discretion.
Disrupting Roleplay:
Players caught out of character in areas designated as in character will get a warning first by the storyteller or narrator, if they are caught again they will be docked XP, and if caught a third time will be asked to leave the in character area and remain in the out of character designated area. If at the time of the third warning, the player is involved in a scene with his or her character that to leave would interrupt the continuity of the game, then the player will have to relinquish control of his character to the presiding storyteller to complete the scene.
