Things you should never do in Elders games

[havocthecat]

Anyone else ever played an Elder, either in an Elder game, or just get enough points accumulated into your character that, no matter young your character was chronologically, you were an Elder?

Theoretically, they are of greater maturity than their Ancilla or Neonate counterparts, but let's face it. We're playing for fun, not to be boring and mature.

Anyone want to share a story of things you should never do in Elders games? I mean, I've got a whole boatload of them, and I'll kick it off with some terrible decisions I have made IC for my favorite character.

Anyone else ever do moodboards for characters? The traditional character portrait never worked for me. I've found that a collection of images does the job better.

Relatedly, would anyone be interested in seeing moodboard or outfit of the day pictures people have done for characters?




(Icon related because fashion Tories are like that, okay?)

Tag structure

[propergoffick]

Throwing this one open for suggestions, since I have only the sketchiest of ideas myself.

I'd like to differentiate by post type (meta, humour, advice, insight, fic, news, actual play, and something for "taking the community's pulse" posts like this one). I can see the merit in tagging LARP and tabletop separately, same for Masquerade and Requiem. How far do we want to go beyond that? Do we need separate tags for each edition? How about clan tags?

Help me out here. Left to my own devices I'll either do nothing or make it heinously overcomplicated.

ETA: Right, I've started introducing some nice alphabetically sorted tags. Two things.

1: let me know if any of them are not clear - I don't always use words in a way that makes sense to other people.
2: I could do with a LARP expert to talk me through the edition history and tell me what tags would make sense there.

To be honest I wouldn't mind a LARPing co-mod as that's the bit of the game and fandom with which I'm least familiar.
