Tim Franzke, I saw a few people talking about how to get XP (I am assuming AW new players,) curious on your opinion if you preferred the AW method of highlighted stats, the DW method or the AW:Dark Ages method? I am guessing US though in it’s final stages isn’t 100% designed, so this mechanic could possibly be affected.

I added the AW:DA method quite easily into my game of US, I have quite enjoyed it.

“Mark experience by filling in one of the little experience bubbles on your character sheet when you use any basic, faction/rapport, corruption, debt or archetype/add-on move with that move counting only 1 time towards XP during that advancement. 

When you gain 6 experience, then advance and erase your marks. 

There are two exceptions to this rule: the moves Spellcasting and the move Fae Magic. You do not receive experience when you use those particular moves, but will gain XP each new spell or faerie power you use.

Certain moves / traits designate additional experience when activated, giving direction on how and when such experience is gained.”

I think I’ve been conditioned to think of vampire society in the WoD way with princes, etc.  I don’t know about…

I think I’ve been conditioned to think of vampire society in the WoD way with princes, etc.  I don’t know about anyone else.  Perhaps it is really just semantic.

Still, in thinking about this, I also tried to think up alternate ways that a vampire society has been presented.  One set of books that has done that is the Joe Pitt series by Charlie Huston.  The books have a map of New York that shows how the vamps have their territories broken down.  Some work like hippie communes, some like mafia, and some like monks.

It’s a pretty good series for another look at vampires and vampire culture.

Anybody in Calgary, Alberta, or surroundings, that would like to pool resources to save on shipping? If we can get 5 together, we can order the Mayor level for $22 each instead of the $35 each of the Mixed Up level.

How do you guys handle debts in the fiction?

How do you guys handle debts in the fiction?

Do you write down for each debt what it is owed for? If yes, do you integrate this into the fiction each time a debt is cashed in?

Or are debts, once taken, just a mechanical currency that is simply counted and spent for a mechanical effect?

My guess is: Somewhere in between both extremes. But what should I aim for when playing the game for the first time?

Andrew Medeiros, what was your intention for the layouts of the archetype sheets?

Andrew Medeiros, what was your intention for the layouts of the archetype sheets? It looks like they should be folded lengthwise, pamphlet-style?
