Sheraton Cleveland Airport Hotel Schedule of Events Venue Style Sheets • Universal VSS |
USCC 2008 Venue Style Sheet for: Werewolf: The Forsaken Chasing Shadows This VSS is considered a supplement to the USCC 2008 Universal VSS ST Contacts [R.01.0] Nicholas Glencross, usforsaken at gmail.com, and John Christensen netbard at gmail.com Place/Time [R.02.0] This VSS is applicable to all sanctioned Forsaken games, either ST-moderated or in non-challenge role-play, during USCC 2008, held in Cleveland, OH from May 8 to 11, 2008. Specific game times and locations vary; consult the USCC 2008 schedule for specific information. The Universal VSS is considered always in effect, with this VSS being supplemental to the Universal VSS. In a situation where there is a conflict between the two VSSs, the Universal VSS takes precedent except in cases where the Forsaken VSS specifically lists this to be an exception to the Universal VSS. Theme/Mood [R.03.0] The overarching theme for USCC 08 Forsaken is “American Dreams, the memories of tomorrow.” The focus of the event will be on exploring the foundations of the country, through the eyes of the Uratha and their blood. Whether the creatures were colonizing the east, forging west, fighting the north or invading the south, the Uratha were there. So where is the history? Where are the full legends of yesterday? What lead up to The Brethren War? So many have dreamed for the answers, wished and prayed that they would come, and for so long those answers never came. Yet out of the ashes of a temple you may just find what you are searching for… are you prepared to accept the answers? “Not every question should be answered.” Styles of Play [R.04.0] Action (Combat and Challenges) 4 Character Development (Personal Dilemmas and Choices) 4 Darkness (PC Death or Corruption) 5 Drama (Ceremony and Grand Story) 5 Intrigue (Politics and Negotiations) 3 Mystery (Enigmas and Investigations) 4 Character Restrictions [R.05.0] The Forsaken game will be using the honor system. All items Mid Approval or higher, along with any Low Approvals / Notification requiring tracking within the database, must be listed on either the character sheet or xp log. All mechanics not found in either Mind's Eye Theatre (WW50000) or Werewolf: The Forsaken must be available upon Storyteller request. This can be provided via a sanctioned book, a print out or photocopy of those mechanics, or neatly handwritten in pen (pencil or illegible handwriting will not be accepted). If those mechanics cannot be made available to the Storyteller upon request then those mechanics may not be used. Custom Mechanics [R.05.1] In addition to the requirement above, any custom mechanics (Rites, Lodges, Fetishes, Talens, etc) must be sent in prior to arrival at USCC to USforsaken at gmail.com . Players must include on the character sheets presented at USCC a typed description of that power, ability or item, and its game mechanics, otherwise it will not be available for use at USCC. Please note that this does include custom devotions taught at High Approval. Top or Master Approvals without custom mechanics do not require prior notification. Willpower and Essence traits [R.05.2] PCs enter the VSS with full willpower and Essence. In character "off-site" locations for use in play must be approved by the Lead Storytellers, and may be subject to travel risks and out-of-game time requirements for travel. Additional Restrictions [R.05.3] To have a character that can be portrayed at the game, the character's physical body must be located within the VSS. If for any reason your character is given fair escape and leaves the area defined by this Forsaken VSS, they will be effectively checked out of the convention and may not return. Totems [R.05.4] Totems will be allowed to be used by participants if a registered sheet and creation log for the totem is included at PC sign in. Please remember that a Totem will only attend with the majority of pack members. Talens [R.05.5] All players will be limited to their Harmony in the number of Talens they may carry on their person. |
