The following is a repost of a new Vampire Pbm game.  We are still taking
applications through this Friday, February 16.  Note: Camarilla vampires
only.  Toreador and Tremere are CLOSED.  We are looking mostly for Ventrue
and Malkavians right now, but any good application is the other five clans
will be considered.  All mail to jezijoha@law.mail.cornell.edu

REVELATIONS OF NEMESIS
A pbm Vampire chronicle set in Gothic-Punk London

London, one of the most important cities in the world, home to a coterie
of Europe's most powerful Kindred.  From the glass and steel boardrooms of
the City, to the dingy alleyways of Soho, the Thamesian vampires compose
symphonic conspiracies of intrigue and manipulation which reverberate
throughout the worlds of the living and the damned.  The rites and
traditions of London are far older than most immortals from the New World
can comprehend.  From the Malkavian balls at Buckingham Palace, to the
Nosferatu Underground Network, nothing exists by chance.  It is a city
where society is paramount, and dissedence is treated with contempt, where
the Prince is a known puppet of the ancients, but his word must be obeyed
on penalty of final death.

So it has been for centuries, but now, this world has begun to crumble.
The ashes of a Justicar, mighty enforcer of the laws of the Camarilla,
drift in the chill winter winds across the city.  Archons prowl the
streets as the Prince cries for vengeance.  In the shadows, mysterious
magi hunt the Kindred for their blood at the bidding of an unknown master.

The Anarchs are restless, sensing that their time might be at hand.  The
Ancillae glance nervously over their shoulders, waiting to discover who
will bear the Elder's blame.  In the midst of this chaos, opportunites are
rife.  Power beyond imagining awaits the bold, yet may prove deadly for
the weak.  Only the most devious and cunning Kindred can hope to break the
downward spiral, and claim the influence and respect that has hitherto
been beyond their grasp.  It is a dangerous time for all, for no one is
yet aware of what revelations are to come.

REVELATIONS OF NEMESIS is an opportunity for creative individuals to take
part in shaping a story of terror and intrigue.  Playing members of the
Ancillae (Vampires who have existed for at least 50 years and been in
London for at least 5 (applicants take note))  each player will be sent
descriptions of scenes which their characters must navigate, and problems
which they must solve.  Playing by e-mail captures the excitement and
intensity of taking part in a storytelling game, but is not as
time-consuming as live role-playing and allows every player to participate
in a leading role.  Players who find themselves either outspoken or
unheard in live role-playing are equally ideally suited for an e-mail
chronicle.

Those interested in playing should send an application to both
jezijoha@law.mail.cornell.edu AND jaj4@cornell.edu.  Applications take the
form of a Vampire character, complete with game statistics and a DETAILED
background.  For character design, use the standard White Wolf Vampire
rules with an additional allocation of 10 Freebie points (for a total of
25).  No character may be below 8th generation.  All applications must be
for Camarilla vampires ONLY.  Again, Tremere and Toreador are CLOSED.  As
many quality applications as possible will be accepted.  We look forward
to hearing from you.

Note:  VAMPIRE is a WHITE WOLF game system and is copyrighted by them.
REVELATIONS OF NEMESIS uses the VAMPIRE system and its attendant
atmosphere but does NOT use any previously published characters or
settings, including the WORLD OF DARKNESS.
