When I started this particular Chronicle, it was ran as an introduction to roleplaying for my wife and a novice Dungeons & Dragons gamer who agreed to play because he was interested in a new game. I ran it as a table top from my kitchen table in my small apartment and started with Milwaukee by Night as the story set in Tacoma, WA. As you can imagine, it evolved from there; where I destroyed the Kindred population in Tacoma with a Lupine invasion and moved the story North into Seattle, WA. I also picked up five more Players and it became a LARP. There were a lot of novice LARPers who didn't know they could get off the couch while playing, but the Chronicle grew in popularity and I had about seven to ten active Players.
Things got busy. After ending the Chronicle when my Players couldn't find a twice a month date to meet up, I started LARPing in a Chronicle up in Seattle where I fell in love with the House Rules and ultimately adapted them to an online setting. My friends and former Players urged e to return to Storytelling where I learned about Discord, applied the LARP house rules to an online setting, and dusted off the personal metaplot that had a five year break since last being told.
Back when the game was a LARP, my Players showed appreciation for my patience and dedication by bringing food and beverages for them to enjoy. Gamers got to eat and drink and I offered 1XP if they brought something for everyone. Most could afford a case of soda, cheese and crackers, or a vegetable tray, and my wife and I got to keep the leftovers. We especially loved it when someone took the time to bring a home made goody or two (Dan's cheese cake!).
Tonight, the online community is a little different, but you can still show your appreciation for my efforts by offering things. It isn't mandatory and I won't judge you for not donating, but if you feel inclined to offer something for my services it would be greatly appreciated. Below you will find a link to a Patreon page where you can choose to donate or continue playing for free!
