Hi! I'm Kimberly D., a happy southerner and RPG enthusiast. Besides running about with PCs, I do light web or wiki work for some gaming organizations.
OWbN PCs and NPCs portrayed in the past:
- Stella Brahms, Ventrue farmer and artist
- Isabella Domina, Malkavian Jekyll and Hyde
- Olivia Reed Brannon, the cutest Child of Haqim
- Jennica Sparrow, ...Gangrel?
- Lucinde, Ventrue Justicar, when the coords can find my remote control
Over the years, I have accidentally(?) collected a list of things I am not allowed to do at WoD LARPs. Here they are, for your amusement and/or warning.
- I cannot make a garou named Social Justice Warrior.
- Can't make a Child of Gaia named HashtagLegalize.
- Cannot make a Gangrel that wanders the earth after killing the son of a powerful prince because he killed my Gangrel's blind mentor.
- Can't build a bomb in my basement in Accord (because I have five dots in engineering but not explosives).
- Not allowed to wear any costume that includes strategically placed electrician's tape.
- Can't use peanut butter for a prop to represent something other than peanut butter.
- I can't shoot another PC in Mage: the Awakening because my Guardian of the Veil finds their ignorance a danger to mages everywhere.
- Not allowed to make a PC with the flaw "Small Size" and then stick google-eye stickers on my cleavage and insist people play out "making eye contact."
- I can't claim my cleavage as innate status, even when I think it's "only fair" to spend XP on what I can't negate.
- There can be no seduction rolls whenever I am within fifteen feet of a Justicar.
- "So I can head-butt people in the face" is not a legitimate reason to app for a Bastet PC.
- Not allowed to pimp out other PCs as justification to grow my Resources. That goes double for NPCs.
- Irish Brujah PCs are not members of the "leprechaun bloodline."
- I am not allowed to teach new Masquerade players the "other, extra" Traditions.
- I am not allowed to settle ruling disputes with STs by challenging them to the "field of honor."
- On becoming the ruling PC in a game, I am not allowed to mandate that all men wear kilts.
- May not bid "Pretty Pretty Princess" as a status or trait against those "other, lesser Toreador."
- I cannot play a Tremere with a heavy southern accent, referring to my primogen as "that sum'bitch."
- Not even if I wear Daisy Dukes.
- Cannot force Toreador to spend willpower to avoid entrancement by a piece of shitty art I convinced an ST to rate at crafts 5.
- Actually, if the ST says it is crafts 5, I totally can. But I shouldn't.
- Psychological warfare on an OOC level is against the spirit of the Member Handbook and I am not allowed to use it.
- I am not the Official Alcohol Tester at any con.
- My Toreador courtesan cannot convince people to start calling all Princes and Archons by Pokemon codenames as she's "gotta catch 'em all."
- I am not allowed to hand out tiny complimentary bars of soap during the con.
- I cannot sit by the door of an IC room with Olympic-style score cards to judge costumes.
- I cannot say my coterie is sponsored by Smirnoff, or Jack Daniels, even if it is.
- My PCs cannot set things on fire "for shits and giggles."
- I can't do it OOC, either.
- Likewise, during an investigation, my character cannot "glass parking lot" a suspicious site to "save us the trouble, later."
- Cosmopolitan magazine is not the revised Toreador handbook.
- "Ivory Tower" is not a euphemism.
- Nor may I use it so in the presence of a Justicar, with the implication I can "forever make it stand."
- Being a redhead is not an approval justification for Infernal Power.
- Nor does it mean I can commit Diablerie without a test because "gingers just eat souls."
- Conflict resolution is not handled by Thunderdome and I am not Tina Turner.
- I am not allowed to make a magic item called the Ugly Stick and then refuse to use it on certain people due to knowing it won't make a difference.
- My spirit animal is not a Rokea.
- Anarchs do not eat Ramen cooked in blood, and I can't use Ramen noodles coated in ketchup as a prop.
- "Shake a Brujah and throw him at the enemy" is not a valid battle plan.
- I can't instigate a game of hide 'n seek in the Hedge.
- My vampire PC can't replicate the Men in Black memory-eraser-pen as a substitute for Dominate.
- No PC I play is allowed to open any caskets, ever again.
- My Camarilla-loyal PC cannot keep a Salubri in her basement, again.
- My Changeling PC is not a vegetarian because she "fucking hates vegetables."
- Garou don't regain Gnosis by "hugging trees," "eating dirt," or "peeing on vampires."
- I can only get away with killing an infernal creature with an office chair once.
- This is not a boffer larp.
- "Boffer larp" does not mean what I think it means, nor should I tell new members that.
- I am not allowed to resurrect Goratrix ever again.
- I am not allowed to date Goratrix ever again.
- The next time I spend a third of the chronicle in a chantry, I need to be a Tremere.
- I will not claim to have prophecy gifts and create fake spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens just to see young Anarchs freak out.
- I cannot substitute the show "Supernatural" for any type of lore.
- I will not refer to clan Ventrue as the suppository of the Camarilla.
- I am not allowed to narrate my Carthian gunslinger's thoughts and actions as if it were the voiceover of a noir detective movie. Especially when doing so reveals the secrets of other PCs.
- I will not tell people that I'm actually part of the True Toreador and all clans have a "True" version, just like the True Brujah.
- Travel-sized soaps are not appropriate as swag-bag gifts.
- "Booze for the Booze god!" is not the Fianna battle cry.
- Not allowed to rewrite traditional hymns for Gaia and sing them nonstop, especially "Gaia Loves Me, This I Know."
- Ditto for any song from Barney the Dinosaur.
- I am not allowed to recreate anything I saw in Apocalypse Now.
- Even if I can present a paper explaining the ties to Heart of Darkness "justifying" it as "art."
- Furthermore, no more of my characters can be based on Tropic Thunder, especially RDJ's character.
- "Gaia" is not a three-syllable word. Not even in the South.
- The Monroe Doctrine is not justification for killing European PCs.
- Manifest Destiny does not apply a bonus to my influence actions.
- I cannot make up totally off-base pronunciations for "Tzimisce" and teach them to new players.
- I am not allowed to hide subliminal messages in wiki code.
- Substituting my own clan meetings with those of another clan doesn't mean I get a vote in their clanhead elections.
- Unless they allow it.
- "Awkward Con Conversation Bingo" is only fun if everyone gets to play.
- Signing up other members for the rules email list is cruel and now a bannable offense.
- There is no alternative to Rock-Paper-Scissors for challenges in games, especially the following: fistfights, staring contests, rap battles, jousting, Trivial Pursuit.
- Mean Girls is not the revised Toreador handbook.
- I cannot present a list of PC sugar daddies to a storyteller as justification for a large purchase.
- ...until they email the storyteller with their approval.
- I cannot sell Princes at auction, anymore.
- I can't start another bidding war between Justicars.
- 2edgy4u is not a Sabbat status.
- "Zoo Director," "Tour Guide," and "Habitat Cleaner" are not the titles of officers in any Anarch domain.
- HYDRA is not a branch of the Sabbat, the Anarch Movement, or The Society of Leopold.
- It's Technocracy.
- "That's some real conversation for your ass," is not the new catchphrase sweeping the Ivory Tower.
- My ass is not an Architect, no matter how many sweet motions it makes.
- "Strip Club" is not the name of a group of Furies.
- Gangrel are not "vampire furries" and telling new kindred that is strictly not okay.
