Introducing Myself

Matt Helm — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:17:42 GMT

Hi I've had several years experience in other RPGs, specifically D&D, but I'm new to the World of Darkness. I was given a couple of WoD books from one of my friends and I've decided I should probably put them to use, there's nobody near me that plays in this setting though so I decided I need to join a PbP game. I was lead to this community after searching for a WoD PbP game. I was immediately attracted to the layout because red and black are my favorite colors. I've read all of ...

DICE ROLLER

West — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 05:04:20 GMT

White Wolf has taken their dice roller offline, so apparently people decided to start using ours. tsk, tsk. Please use the dice roller on the new site right here... You MUST register before you can access this page, and you'll find the dice roller in the top navigation area under Twilight Valley -or- on the top left of the main portal page. Sorry for the inconvenience!!!

Weekend Getaway

deltadream — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 21:57:51 GMT

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am going to be out of town for the weekend. Family reunion in Iowa. I will try and sneak on when I can but between the corn, family, cows, and alchohol...well, even if I do get on my post may be less than stellar.

Just a heads up.

Hi all....new player here

Dusan — Sun, 10 May 2009 14:31:29 GMT

Hi. I found your site on the White Wolf Dark Pack page. I've had a chance to look around and I am anticipating playing here

Right now, I'm working on a Spring Changeling concept. That's pretty much my favorite NWoD system, with Vampire running a close second.

I'm looking forward to posting ICly soon, and I'm certainly pleased to meet you!

My wife (who posts here as Bodecia Albion, aka Derry O'Dell) and I will both be out of town and probably completely away from a computer until late tomorrow. So, if anyone is waiting for a post from one of our characters, feel free to go ahead and move things forward, and we'll catch up when we get back. I'm guessing things will likely be a bit slow over the holiday anyhow, but just in case, we didn't want anything to be held up on our account. Should one of our characters' reactions be ...

I'm not sure how many people have perused the web site ( http://www.twilightvalley.org )) but we have Chat. I've also added a link to it (and the dice roller) at the top right of the forums. This is a great way to crank through a Scene, or even a phone call, quickly if both people are online.

Notice that the time stamps were stripped, and everything ...

Musings on money...

Fractured — Thu, 21 May 2009 16:31:19 GMT

Last night, I was sittin' around and philosophizin', as is my habit, and I came up with an interesting question- The funny thing about money is that the more of it you have, the easier it is to get. Someone with a million dollars could turn it into 2 million in a year or so with a good business idea, smart investments (maybe not in this economy, but 4 or 5 years ago, definitely), etc...but you could go to your grave trying to figure out how to turn one penny into two. So the question ...

Oops/Apology

DaevaDude — Tue, 19 May 2009 21:56:13 GMT

Earlier today, I posted in the "Another Round" thread (the "room with no way in/out" crossover scenario Sweets is running) without having refreshed my browser. As a result, I ended up posting out of order and in a manner suggesting my character, Derek, had ignored things others had already posted. So, my apologies to the the players of Matthew and O-Yama, and to Sweets, for screwing up the flow of the scene. I don't like when other do that sort of thing, so even though ...

Anyone seen this? I saw it last night.

Good flick, although I didn't care for Sylar as Spock. I really liked the way they focused on the whole crew, and let everyone shine.

Chekov and Sulu rocked.

I can't remember the last time I was at a movie (not even on opening weekend) and there was applause at the end.

And as always seems to happen with the Big O reaches out to touch this plane of mere mortals, she underestimated the power of her disciples. KFCs are being deluged with coupons, and many of them stopped accepting them sometime during the day. They have chicken available, but only for paying customers. Several restaurants have reported mob scenes and near-riots, and ...

Steph and I are buying a house. A long explanation follows. Read only if you are bored. Skip to the bottom to see pictures. Background: When we moved into this area, I got involved in a community program that takes meals to shut-ins (older folks who can't get out much). It wasn't so much about providing them with food (many of them are quite wealthy) as it was about providing them with some company. That is how I met Mrs. Milly. She was 87 (she's almost 90 now), still lives alone, ...
