Santa Monica Vampires - Intro Post

Hello all.

My name's Marsten Eccleston, and I'm going to be using this blog to document our current game of 'Vampire: The Requiem', titled 'Santa Monica Vampires'.

I'll be posting Actual-Play reports every fortnight or so, detailing each adventure our cadre of fledgeling Kindred get up to. You can read along, and if you enjoy the various shenanigans, you can leave comments. If you want to run a game similar to this one, I can also give advice and suggestions.

The first part of the game, which should play out roughly over 12 weeks or so, will start with our characters as lowly mortals. They are then turned into newly-reborn vampires in the first week's game, whereupon they grow to be players in the local scene. By the end of the first part of the game (which should occur roughly at that 12 week point), the players should have defeated their big bad, and become major players in the Vampire society of the area.

Santa Monica is a real location, a district of Los Angeles, which neither myself nor any of the players have ever visited. Major (and I do mean major) liberties are taken with the location, and is used here to represent a clean 'canvas' onto which we can wreak considerable havoc and so forth. Any similarities between the game and real things are coincidental, and all that guff.

So without further ado, I'll post this and get ready for our first session.
