  There has been some roleplay of late that has revolved around the claims that a character is or will be a “rapist.” We are officially retconning that verbiage. You may substitute “monster” or “animal” or whatever your imagination can come up with, but as we do not condone the roleplaying of sexual violence or even implied sexual violence, we are doing some “creative editing” and asking that you support us and help us eliminate this from our lexicon and play. We are counting on each of you to police this and while it may stretch veracity or create an atmosphere where we may “suspend disbelief” we feel it is the right thing to do. If you do not understand what that means, here is the definition: "The term suspension of disbelief or willing suspension of disbelief has been defined as a willingness to suspend one’s critical faculties and believe something surreal; the sacrifice of realism and logic for the sake of enjoyment." Thank you.

  Also, as part of the quote stated, you can go into the Tower to praise staff or players. Especially players! The watchmen will pass that information along to us and it highlights areas that can we can enforce and encourage the good play to continue through various means. I am sure the positive vibes will keep the watchmen happy!

  In the dark noir American southern city of New Corsica, a small group of Kindred are given their chance to earn their Second Embrace. Little did they know the horrors that await them are worse than anything they have experienced before. In New Corsica: Ascension Night, a group of 4-5 players bound by the need to join the Camarilla fight the horrors of the night while being one themselves. If you are not selected to play, that is fine. New Corsica: Ascension Night will have a rotating cast of NPC characters which will be pulled from the existing player base of Sanguinus to bring to life. There will be familiar faces along with new. New Corsica: Ascension Night will be dark and visceral, focusing more on the horror aspects of Vampire: The Masquerade than that is usually reserved for a tabletop version of the game. This will be a side game that takes place on Monday nights. You must have an active character in the Branton Chronicle to apply to be a player or an NPC actor. NPC actors available for play are either new characters or you can reprise a previous character from New Corsica 1.0 or 2.0 or our Chicago Chronicle. If you are interested in being one of the select players or playing an NPC, please fill out https://docs.google.com/forms/d/17bWSh-uXhaa8lPI3ZLXrivnHIGj899G-iTJnPRsrAa0/edit Session 0 will take place on January 21, 2019 and will include aspects of coterie and character creation for the select players only. Game will officially kick off January 28, 2019 for everyone!

  Bumping as a reminder and also… Hypocrisy is a hell of a drug. It may keep your character from seeing some of the more insidious ways they are monsters, but your character has been alive (undead?) long enough to know well and good that they’re a monster - even if they at times disagree about the details on the how and why… despite being able to point out all the monstrous flaws in a fellow vampire. Even those rare high humanity vampires who strive to cause the least harm possible realize they are a monster and per the mechanics of stains and degeneration will feel guilt from their monstrous actions to the point of possibly fear frenzying much sooner than lower humanity vampires. Because they are aware they are monsters, even if they try so very hard to not be. A Beast I am, lest a Beast I become…

  ::posted in various new media/digital circles, with some of the local traditional print presses picking up in their lifestyle thread:: Midtown proper is about to get a whole lot more dynamic and brighter if our advanced viewing of the soon to open “The Collective” is any indication. On Sunday, December 9, at 8PM, the converted firehouse cum art collective and gallery will open its doors in Midtown. Close enough to the galleries and art communities of Gainsborough, but decidely outside of it, stands ‘The Collective’ – a converted firehouse, which will contain both a gallery for traditional art mediums, a lounge/live performance space, and an area for private artistic gatherings. Mountain Entertainment was able to get an advanced preview and speak with the folks behind this exciting space. “We are here to give voice to the artists, wordsmiths, and woke people on the margins”, says General Manager Azure Smith, “For too long folks have been struggling to find a spot for their unique, beautiful, and shuttered voice – this is their space.” As we toured the interior of the establishment, we were quite impressed by the construction and the thoughtfulness of each collaborative spot. ‘The Collective’ will open this Sunday, featuring “the best of cutting edge art outside of Gainsborough, with a distinctly local community flair.” The proceeds of which, including artist auctions, will benefit The Branton Young Artists Community, an afterschool program designed to foster the arts in our local schools, where funding often falls short for art and art related programs in the educational system. ::The Location of The Collective, in Midtown, is provided:: Sam Riley, the Mountain

  ::written in Emmeric’s beautiful cursive, with a fountain pen:: Okay, this is a reach, but… what about propping up some social programmes in poorer areas? Homeless shelter, soup kitchen, clothing for job interviews, job training programs, rehabilitation programs, a half way house, shelter for abused and battered women and children, after school programmes, daycare? Rent controlled affordable housing? A community garden on the corner of ::blah and blah:: where that condemned building stands? The idea being with the destitute off the streets, people/businesses will feel more comfortable moving into the area. Increased police presence to catch, collect and distribute the destitute to appropriate programmes? A little high society to motivate those big spenders to throw their influence into getting these projects going, along support from local media to tout their generosity? A little more media to showcase how the underdog part of town is rapidly becoming not only appealing to locals, but trend setters from surrounding areas? It’s an undertaking, but I think injecting some pride, and hope, would do a lot to motivate the kine to take some initiative themselves. :: Signed with sociopathic flourish:: ~ Emmeric
