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.

The first game I ever played with my current group (almost 20 years ago now) we were technically Neonates at the start. Except we were made with magic and Cain's blood (he gave permission) and were only made to save the world from Elder Gods invading. (There were people with time powers who were orchestrating the whole thing.)

By the end of the game we knew we technically didn't have generation. Other vampires were freaked out because they knew we didn't have generation. (It involved an angry Gangrel, an airport, and a salsa jar full of blood. I got my jar of blood back btw. You don't leave that stuff laying around.) We had powers our storyteller made up just for us. Casual observers had no idea what our clans were because we'd all cross-disciplined out the wazoo.

We were the reincarnation of King Arthur and the Knight of the Round Table.

I'll look around for my character sheet later and post a link. It was ridiculous.

My husband was another player in the group. Our storyteller did the in real life wedding ceremonies for both my sisters. And? We get together almost every Saturday night still.

Our current game? A replay of our first. Some of the players are different. No one is allowed to play the same clan. Some of us aren't even vampires. Storyteller has taken out some things, added new things, and changed the order of events. We're all having a blast.

Found my character sheet. It's posted over on my journal to save space here.

Please note I could have been way more OP at the end of the game, but didn't because the Fader wouldn't have. I now get to play things my storyteller would never let anyone else play.

If the SU finds his, I'll copy it too.
