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.

Does playing in a Dark Ages game count? (I don't think so...)

I briefly played a number of NPCs who probably qualified, but none of my PC characters in my main LARP were Elders.

Playing an NPC elder I tended to make them calmer and more focused than a 'younger' vampire ... but also MONOfocused on their particular worldview ... I figured they'd likely started to calcify a bit.

Oh goodness, yes! I have stories about when I accidentally made a deal with a demon in my Dark Ages game, which means I say it does count.

I mean, it's a vampire game, so it should count, even if we don't have a tag for it, right? You're also so right about the monofocus. That's what's fun about playing an elder!

Dark Ages Vampire, or indeed Vampire: the Dark Ages, TOTALLY COUNTS. I kind of roll the historical settings in under the general aegis of 'Masquerade' but I'm perfectly happy to have a separate tag for them.
