Ok, I'm making this public for all to know about.
I have been considering running a new world game. I already have people who are willing to staff it, and they're people I both know and trust, and there's only one or two positions left open and I'm still working out who I'd want for that. I'm going to allow -ALL- types of supernaturals, that means..
Vampires
Werewolves
Mages
Hunters
Mortals
Changelings
The only group I am NOT allowing (for storyline reasons) are Prometheans, unless you come up with a REALLY good reason otherwise, and before you go "omg, it's gonna be a huge combat game" be advised, there will be enough NPCs on each side, and all of the forces know about it. It's a very large, unsteady cease-fire.... more details for each group when you choose to play it.
I do NOT have a date for this, this is Sean going "ok, let me test the waters, how many people would be interested." If you would be interested in giving it a chance, perhaps to try out the new world system, perhaps to play something other then a vampire, please, feel free to post, ask questions, etc.

Only problem that i can see, and have, it doing a game like this there will be mass combat, whether you like it to or not. and to warn you as well, by having npc control the combat, your basicly using a hand of god card to move the game and people will either A. Like just doing nothing and not being able to play a char to its fullest or B. Leave the game because of he 2nd part of a..... its always a great idea but you need to understand sean... its WoD.... Thing kill each other.... And if you dont want it to happen and want everyone to get along, your using pretense for the wrong game...
**Im not saying this to be demeaning, condinsending, or cocky. Im telling you this outa pretense of what i have seen happen before when ST's attempt to control a WoD game from combat.

I understand that there is a great chance for mass combat. But none of the NPCs will want to get involved if you want to go attack one of the factions, like if your a vampire who wants to try and kill the werewolves. While it is entirely possible to do so, don't expect there to be a full out war. The elders in the city don't want to touch them, and if you just charge in and try to kill them, your gonna get smacked down hard. So it comes to the player, if you want to attack the werewolves, how the hell do you intend to do it? Plus, what if you fail and manage to escape? Now you've got a bunch of pissed off werewolves, and the elders will certainly be upset because someone tried to mess things up.
I'm still working out some of the background information mind you, my main goal is to provide a game where everyone can play anything they want. This topic is just me going "hey guys, working on this" just so I can say I've had this up, so ppl can talk, comment, and if they get an idea that they feel they should mention to me, by all means, mention it! i'd love to get the ideas.

If I did Old World, my issue is then both game balance and some freedom as far as background goes. I tried to think of how to make this game work for Old World, but in the end I think New World would be a better choice.

As far as the whole mass combat issue goes, let it be clear that aggression and violence between the different creatures is no where near as pronounced as it is in OWod. Like for Vamps and Weres, there is no goofy wyrm taint - we hate you and must kill you - scenario. The various denizens for the most part ignore each other in NWod. Conflict can happen, but it is more as a response to some smaller group or individual angering another. Likewise they can aid each other. It is a matter of roleplay and interaction, of which I would love to see people RP without having to resort to violence for every little indiscretion.
Now, my only concern towards the ends of reducing the amount of killing involves the Hunters. For obvious reasons.

Actually, funny enough, not all hunter organizations are "KILL EM ALL!" most of them are "gather information, wtf are they"

Update! After speaking with more people and getting a general consensus of what people want. My interest in running has grown. I will definately run this game should I acquire any chance to do so. Denise suggested Sunday in the meanwhile but as it stands I don't think a lot of people would want to play Sunday night sooo... until then, I'll keep people updated.
if anyone wants to make a character, feel free to talk to me anytime about it.. I'll provide an email address you can send it to, I'm usually on AIM Dockter Worm, or send me a PM here (I don't know how much longer i will have the Lawrence name, so I'll post when Jean-Paul is approved.)
