Handy hint of the day.

[davywavy]

When creating a Follower of Set, read the FoS clanbook.

Can you find the phrase "As the Followers of Set acheive their goals by subtle manipulation or supplying needs that people don't even realise they have - and much of this strategy relies upon other people trusting them - the clan makes sure to follow an active plan of only embracing morons, fucked up junkies, petty criminals,prostitutes, and dangerous lunatics; these are obviously the sort of people that suspicious members of other clans are going to trust instantly."

You can't find it?

That's because it doesn't say it.

Comprende?

Good.

And pass the fried rattlesnake.

I hate stupidity in any clan but I swear the FoS collect the largest hive of the Clan of Boppo..

Honest. Go to my info page and find the Book_of_Boppo LJ. Read it. Make it a friend too!

oh I dunno I've seen the like in all clans methinks

and as a personal gripe the old 'hey I'm a ravnos therefore I steal'

is one of the most irritating things EVER ( at least in relation to vampire stuff ;o)

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

I thought the rule for creating a character from *any* clan was "read the FoS Clan Book" then, even if playing a still-bleeding-from-the-embrace neonate, you can know what those rascals are like & act appropriately.

[winterthing.livejournal.com]

And always remember - heart theft. Not a deep dark secret, but a freely advertised public service by the FoS.

Everyone knows about it! Remember this and act accordingly!

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Like any other so-called secret of any clan; find me a neonate who can't name (bizarrely) at least three paths of Thaum, who hasn't heard of Cathage, who doesn't know about the Toreador guilds, who...

we know what we mean

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Actually, I OOC can't name any paths of thaum. Um. Well, maybe take an educated guess at one. I hate reading rule books; helps at times.

[quisalan.livejournal.com]

I haven't been able to names thaum paths, either as Leonie or Lisa. In fact as Leonie I knew nothing about any of that lot above since it waz all scary leech..er... kindred stuff.

As Lisa...

I do know about Cathage but that's Brujah training for ya ;). Try and avoid Cathage when Critus locks you in his library for days and goes on about republican theory (bloody cambridge bloody split Elyisum *mutter*)

I know vaguely about guilds because they kept trying to get me embraced into them, but I have this idea that it's more like "art appreciation societies" inside the clan who use it as an excuse for parties rather than anything else.

Setites? Aren't they the snakey things that do.. er.. snakey things... and hang around in sunglasses? Why is that? Bad fashion sense?

*grins*

Krystyna
(Player of Neonates who know some stuff, not others)

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Well my low-level sarcasm wasn't directed at you m'dears, rather at those Neonates who know more about kindred society than Caine...

[atrophy-angel.livejournal.com]

bad fashion sense..?

oo, i'm really hurt now... ;)

*grins*

[atrophy-angel.livejournal.com]

um... my character knows diddly-squat, despite his desperate attempts to study... & he's a setite... ;)

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

If I wore a hat, I'd take it off to you.

Re:

[atrophy-angel.livejournal.com]

heh heh.
i like hats... my character has a hat... always great for easy PC recognition...

not that i skimp on costume, or anything... ;)

[skinny-cartman.livejournal.com]

what they can do that?
damn and I had that staking plan already to go
one of my pc's knows about that but has good reason to seeing as he was told by someone I trust knows about that stuff
the other one hasn't a clue and would be very skeptical if anyone told him they could
I mean what a stupid idea you'd drop down dead surely?

Re:

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Yeah...when yo usay "Everyone knows it", you should actually be saying "everyone knows it *because they read it in the rules*"

Sigh.

I loved Iscariots example: "We Followers of Set dress up in tutus, cover ourselves in marmalade and sing "Agadoo" in religious rituals."

20 minutes later: "Iscariot *told* me that you setites did perform religious rituals so I know IC now."

Sigh.

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

But I thought Iscariot really did cover himself in marmalade?

[winterthing.livejournal.com]

Shhhh...that's just Andy R...and we don't talk about that.

[winterthing.livejournal.com]

*nods*

I've noticed that.

People do it with more than Setites. I remember once Bridget ended up trying to explain the world to a newly embraced char (actually - she's done that more than once.)

Apparently everything she said was utterly convincing until she started explaining the horrible vampiric werewolves created by lupined biting kindred which could only be repelled by bleach.

Sounds totally credible to me! I mean - when did you last see an evil vampiric lupine in your toilet?

*sighs*

Apparently it wasn't believable, although the whole vampire, clan, blood bond, discipline thing just made sense straight off. My 'fairies are evil but can be repulsed by some kind of herb' also went down badly...

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I'm quite pleased with myself on that score.

I recently bought "Inaccurate Tremere Lore" as one of my lores:)

[winterthing.livejournal.com]

Oh - I don't buy lores. I keep track of what Bridget is told IC.

So far we have...

Lupine lore: - dangerous 9 foot tall furry things
- created by being bitten by a werewolf
- only come up on the full moon - otherwise you're safe
- repelled by bleach, garlic, and silver.
- have a strange sexual fascination with female vamps
- have some odd fixations with insects
- like to kill people with magic in their auras.

...and there are a lot like that. I think my lupine lore is the best however...

[bringeroflight.livejournal.com]

- have a strange sexual fascination with female vamps

Damn them all!!!!

Re:

[winterthing.livejournal.com]

Well...Bridget's lupine lore came from the combined forces of Leonie, Iscariot, and Roshem. Oh - and Hungerford the Gangrel.

I feel she has a nicely eclectic mix of lores..

So - female vampires?

[ex-epithet668.livejournal.com]

I have often thought that the world of darkness is wasted on roleplayers....

Re:

[skinny-cartman.livejournal.com]

well exactlyn my character whon believes certain things about the FoS that are true also believes they are like the baddies outta stargate SG1 so expects a whole load of stuff from them that never arrives..

Re:

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Fantastic!

[atrophy-angel.livejournal.com]

*feels slightly hurt*

um, there's sometimes more to those moron-junkie-criminal-hooker character concepts than meets the eye... being underestimated is a wonderful thing...

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Wasn't thinking about you, as it happens. Some other people entirely...

[atrophy-angel.livejournal.com]

now, that surprises me... :)
coz i'd think my PC would be about the most obvious contender for the seeming idiotcrackwhoremaster title...
my childe, though: now he's smart.
& subtle.
gah.

Re:

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I've not met him, nor have I read the background or anyfink.

Re:

aaaa.
