- Statement of purpose -
It is my goal to bring interest to the venue of Vampire: The Requiem by creating an engaging and entertaining story that is driven by the player characters. It is my hope that through creative use of the global plot lines, and creation of new venue level encounters that players will be able to enrich their role-playing experiences. I will endeavor to create an environment that is filled with rich character development, storyline and intrigue and provide any support for players that they feel they may need. I see this game being run as a cooperative team effort between both the VST staff, and the players, because a truly immersive experience must be created with mutual, positive and open communication.
- Vision Statement -
If elected to the office of VST:Requiem, it would be my goal to create balanced plot lines that players would find engaging and to create an immersive experience through the use of Downtimes, IRC and the forums.
I would like to see the venue set up with strong roleplayers, costuming and player involvement in the set up and tear down of the gaming site.
I would also love to have player input as to what kinds of things they would like to see happen in the plot lines of the venue and I encourage all players to be forthcoming with their long term goals for their characters. When I know what people are aiming for, it gives me a much better chance of setting something up for that goal to be achieved.
The type of ST am I? I would like to think that my ST style would be more along the lines of player engagement and immersion in story. I am not opposed to combat or conflict as I think they are very important aspects of a game, but one of the main goals that I hope to accomplish as an ST is to be just that, a story teller. I feel that the story is why we play the games we play. We all love to escape from our normal lives and delve into the world of fantasy from time to time. It is my hope that I can create a world that is worth escaping into. Some of the people who have been in my pathfinder games have told me that my use of voice acting with the NPC's in the game have made the game a more enjoyable experience for them, and I plan to do the same with the NPCs in Vampire: The Requiem as well.
