About “The Longest Road“

Come be part of the newly formed Gaian Alliance, where Garou, Fera, and Kinfolk are united at last in a battle against the Weaver.  Old enmities still simmer, and new alliances also made new enemies as the political landscape of the shifters has changed.  Meanwhile, practical matters of war against the Weaver and basic survival force political agendas to the wayside.

The Longest Road is a game about having nothing and struggling to earn everything, all while overcoming the tumultuous histories between the Silver Fangs and Glass Walkers and their allies. There is no stationary sept. What the PCs will have at start is a convoy of vehicles which they use as a base of operations, a makeshift Bawn until they can eke out an existence somewhere. Our game is about exploring player agency and how the world reacts to the reintroduction of Gaians into a city that has gone without for nearly a decade.

No prior experience with Werewolf: the Apocalypse is required to play!

Covid Protocols:
•    We are playing in a private home.  Respect closed doors and the homeowners.
•    If you feel the littlest bit sick, DO NOT COME, an immunocompromised person lives here.
•    The homeowners will not be wearing a mask, but players will be required to wear a mask while indoors.  Outdoors you may remove your mask.
•    Proof of vaccination verified including one booster.  This is a change from our standard for our 2nd weekend games so everyone will need to be re-verified, even if you have attended a Lost or Masquerade game.

It is that time again.. Boston Masquerade will be on Saturday 11/14 at 7pm Eastern on the LASTLIGHT Server.  If you have not joined the NHMA Masq2020 Server, Bri as iVST has done an incredible job coding the safety mechanics into seamless functions to be used in games.  Character sheets are not required and mechanics will not be in effect.  Game will be taking place in the Universal Elysia of the Paramount Theater and will be set on August 8, 2020.

Those kindred Christian Whitechapel knows how to reach personally receive a handwritten invitation on ivory paper with a dark golden ink. The envelope is sealed in gold wax with the ventrue clan symbol in it. The paper has a vaguely floral note to it, those familiar will recognize a subtle carnation scent.

Elizabeth Broun once said
ART IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT 
PRETTY THINGS.
IT’S ABOUT WHO WE ARE,
WHAT HAPPENED TO US, AND
HOW OUR LIVES ARE AFFECTED.

Come.
August 8th 2020
to a private art showing
of works submitted by non-Artists
that tell the stories of our lives.

Those individuals whom Christian does not know how to personally reach are also invited to this event through the monthly comings and goings of kindred through elysia and their monthly routines. IOW no one is left out, everyone is invited.

OOC :
This is a “Reverse-Toreador Salon”
NON-Toreador PCs are encouraged to submit ‘Art’ that reflects the stories of our characters lives or unlives. Many of us have an idea of what our sheets might look like so if you are planning on purchasing dots of an appropriate art skill feel free to include their approximate ratings in the ooc descriptions of your pieces. 

TO SUBMIT ART :https://forms.gle/ux7Ghi8NSPELVmcEA

All PCs will be encouraged to vote for their two favorite pieces, which may not be their own work, by leaving a thumbs up emoji on the art entry.

Toreador PCs will be given two votes. A thumbs up emoji and the toreador clan emoji.

Rumor is there are boons up for grabs for the top non-artist artists.

IC and OOC questions can be directed to Chris R, player of Christian Whitechapel and DST of MA003D.  They can be reached on discord or via email at nhma.dst@gmail.com

Bri B is the iVST and they can also be reached on discord or via email at nhma.masq2020@gmail.com

New players are always welcome! If you’re not a member of the Modern Enigma Society and wish to join us for our online game, please get in touch with us.
