The Cam plays several White Wolf Games. At the moment, we play

Genre |

The VC is responsible for setting up, shutting down, organizing Drink and Snacks, and so forth. |

| DST | Domain Story Teller: Responsible for coordinating the in-game plots and storylines
for a Domain. Most games are reasonably self contained, but sinces they are happening in the same city,
sometimes what happens in one game will effect other games. Such as when someone blows up a major
landmark... yes, it has happened.

| Cheese | A slang term, generally meaning character abilites that are powerful out
of proportion to the cost. No system is perfect, and most game systems have the potential
to be rorted. WoD is no exception...
Cheese or Cheesing is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it isn't misused...
but building stupidly optimized characters and then using them to kill or dominate other
player characters is frowned upon. |
|---|
| NewbieA new player. New players are encouraged...please play!! and it
is club policy to actively involve new players in plot, and avoid killing off new characters
until they've had a chance to get
used to the game. This is not an excuse to abuse the the system, though... |
