Feah the geekiness! Vampire musing!

I’m thinking of retiring my vampire campaign I’m running. We’ve run it for near 18 months now (I think) and it has been EPIC. They’ve made allies with the Inconnu, a cabal of mighty Aztec Vampire/sorcerers, become Archons, established vast influenced in Yuma, Arizona and virtually taken over Townsville, Queensland, Australia. The Setite clan owes them big, they have a huge in with the Tremere and they have made a pact with the Werewolves of Queensland. Oh, and they’re dripping in experience to a level most elders would envy.

And Saturday they finally finally killed DA BOSS. A very very dangerous boss that required them to use all their powers, all their influence, all their allies and still nearly die. I was extremely happy with the conclusion. So were the players.

But it was a conclusion. I now have a coterie of 5 extremely powerful elders with obscenely powerful contacts and areas of influence. Canonically, vampires at this level simply DON’T co-operate. They’re strong enough it pursue their own interests without needing to pack. I may return to them in due time for an elder chronicle, but for now I think they can be retired. I think a Werewolf campaign is called for :)

Retire?
BAH!
Now it's time to march them through GEHENNA!
Heheheheheh.

Argh I'm avoiding Gehenna chronicles, they depress me. I have over 200 2nd and 3rd ed WoD books and was unspeakably depressed when they killed the universe. As such I sulk and refuse to acknoledge Gehenna or the apocalypse :)

Sure it's their canon, but I'm the GM and I'll keep the world going forever if I want to :P

Ah, good deal then.
I was very impressed by the End, as it were. Simply from a metaplot point, they managed to tie up a LOT that was severely going out of control.

It was handled well, I loved how the mage reality consensus bled out to other creatures

Hmmm....Werewolves. I like the sounds of that! Sounds like a fun campaign.

I've never really had the chance to run a long werewolf campaign so I'm looking forward to it

Heh 18 months? Only? I have a Mage storyline I'm Still trying to wrap up all by myself. it's been going on 7 YEARS! Umm guess it's kinda lame if they only reason I can't finish is I don't wanna Rp the main character party AND the bad guy huh? I suck and Vampire.. and not in the appropriate way. Well, I've passed up my deadline of august 4th when I promised I'd just write the damn ending and tell everyone involved how it went. Bah. But that's no fun.

I do agree though. If they've finally beat the big boss and maybe can't get along anymore, time to try something new. If I ever do finish my Mage/Vampire/Werewolf/Changeling crossover epic, I think the survivors are gonna maybe spend a few months recovering, then take off to Italy for some Mage pre-vampire bad guy boss back storyness. Or maybe Ireland first for some Changeling Past Livesness. There's always the possible foray into the Deep Dreaming and the attempt to keep the Euthie from going Marauder. If I can just keep in touch with at least 3 of my players, I think I'll be busy with these chars another few years. ^_^
