New Rule!

As long as I'm modifying the rules to accomidate for A/State, I might as well modify a few more. This change is in regards to the Fighting Style: Boxing merit in the NWoD core rule book.

The first rank of FS:B now allows you to stun your opponent if the damage you inflict exceeds the targets Stamina.

That is all. I now return you to your regularily scheduled lives.

Campaign Character Creation Rules

For Down the Rabbit Hole, I've decided on a few character creation guidelines for the Players. I've outlined them below:

Everybody gets 30 XP to start with. This can be spent pretty much any way that the player sees fit, as long as it fits in the character's background and doesn't break any of the rules below.

No character can start with more than 1 dot in Resources. You're poor. Deal with it. It's still more than a lot of people in The City have.

No character can have ties to any MacroCorp or other Major Power in The City except at the lowest levels. Your character might have come from a wealty and powerful family from Arclight, but for whatever reason you are ostricized from them now.

Every character has to have a "hook" for getting them involved in the storyline. They need some believable motivation to want to work with the group to help find Myles whether it is general altruism, greed for a reward, or something more personal. Give me something to work with people.

No character can take Fighting Style: Sniper. In exchange I promise never to use a sniper to directly attack any PC's.

No character can start with more than 2 dots in any fighting style.

No character can start with more than 4 dots in any skill.

In addition, I'd like to offer the following advice: While I don't expect (or encourage) everybody to play a Combat Wombat, please remember that The City is a very dangerous place, and it helps to be able to at least know the basics of how to defend yourself.

Edit: One last caveat regarding equipment. Nobody can start with any equipment deemed "High Tech", regardless of its cost.

Down the Rabbit Hole

"Down the Rabbit Hole" is the title of the A/State Campaign that I intend to start running in the near future. Hopefully, in the coming weeks, I'll be posting the backgrounds (or at least brief descriptions) of my PC's, along with other campaign-related resources. In the meantime, however, here's the hook that's going to kick off the campaign.

Don't laugh. At least it doesn't start at a bar...

Brooke Eldridge needs help. Myles, her husband of 6 years has gone missing. Working as a drudge in Bankside for one of the Myriad fish-breeding Microcorps didn’t bring in much money, but it was enough to keep himself, Brooke, and their four children fed and with a roof over their heads.

All that changed four days ago. Myles left home early that morning to walk across the Burgh to the Fat Fish Breeding Pond. He never came home. Over the next few days she contacted the company and talked to his coworkers, but nobody knows what happened to him. Lostfinders are rare in Bankside and the Provosts nonexistent so she’s looking outside of Bankside for help. She doesn’t have much money, but she’ll do whatever she has to in order to get her husband back.

Weapons and Armor

In anticipation of my upcoming campaign, I've revised the weapons tables previously published, and included with them a table converting armor over. You can download the table Here. I've taken down the old files, since they're obsolete now.
