World of Darkness session 6 overview
Well the fight went alright barring the fact that our Mage with the life magic was basically glued to the Giest healing him. Course that is partly our fault seeing as if he would die then he just comes right back so we send him through the doors first. The big fun was the boss fight though. This guy had stolen a giant hammer artifact the Vamp prince had locked away to protect people from it. It basically created paradoxes almost constantly. Lucky for us though one of the things that happened was it shorted out the magic shield the guy had on so we could finally attack him with some chance of success. My gun did some decent damage after that and we managed to take the guy down.

World of Darkness session 5 overview
Tomorrow is going to be the 6th session so I guess I should overview last weeks session. In short nothing happened. Sure the local Vamp Prince's stronghold was taken and sure we learned that the Prince is a mind controlling type of Vamp but tomorrow we actually go in and clear the stronghold of who ever is there. Last week we acquired a quest this week we do things.

World of Darkness session 4 overview
Today not much got done. The one player that had a cop character did not show up today and all that happened was we met the guy who founded the Mage group we are a part of. The dude used to be a scientist that studied DNA. He had found the part that represented a person being a Mage and made a device to find it before he knew what it meant. One night Vamps stole it and later on he Awakened and realized what that meant so gather some other Mages and made a new device so they could stop the Vamps. Other than learning this and some work on a few things not much else happened. Next week we have the promise of combat and other exciting things to do.

World of Darkness session 3 overview
This weeks session went well. Not much got done though we where able to go and see the 2 Vamp's trial by the local Prince who is apparently the one who met us and took them away after the giant sword Vamp guy beat them up. The 2 criminals where hung upside down and gagged then their crimes where read to them and once they where all read the prince asked them if they had anything to say... being gagged of course made the chances of that nil. Then they where tortured for a couple hours until everyone but my group and the Prince and bodyguard left. The Prince went to an alcove that would not be in the sun to witness the death by sun of the 2 criminals.
Not much other than that happened though somehow we all ended up making sandwiches to see who did better in the time before the trial. I only had 2 success but was better then some, though the winner was 5 success. The session was fun and many jokes where had out of character but most where in jokes or situational and we did a lot of Magic the gathering in between it all.

Its not Dungeons and Dragons but...
So tomorrow I am playing World of Darkness as a Mage. Now I personally tend towards Dungeons and Dragons but I can never find a campaign that I can join. Its actually ironic because I was able to join the WoD campaign because they where just starting it after finishing a D&D campaign. My group consists of 3 Mages and a Geist for some reason not that I am complaining.
I was not originally going to be able to join it but circumstances allowed me to slip in. They had already done the first game session. Two of them went to a bar with the usual background color plus a very well described npc(Very well described, as if she had stats or something!). The third was a cop who was just off giving tickets or something. The action started when a Vamp appeared in the corner of the bar and another came in the front and promptly plugged the pre-Geist in the back of the head with some bullets. The Very well described npc then shot that vamp and managed to be incredibly lucky for the whole of the fight. The Vamp from the corner preceded to gut the pre-Geist with his claws while the pre-Mage found out stun guns do not work on Vamps. The Cop shows up then with another npc who is also Very well described and decked out in full riot gear. The Very well described cop then preceded to kill steal knocking both the Vamps out with his baton even though he only did maybe 2-3 bashing each.
Before this I had not even known any of the rules or anything about WoD but it seemed fun so over the intervening week I learned how to play by reading through not only the base settings book but also the Mage and the Geist books as well. Last Sunday I went back to listen in on them playing again but the player with a cop was going to be late so they let me use the Mage character I had made for fun till he got there but when he got there no one said anything and now I am in the group.
For those wondering how last weeks game went, what happened was I started as a Forest Ranger and was attacked by Vamp Minions but the other players showed up at the scene right when I got knocked out. They where doing good till a couple of Vamps showed up, one with a gun and another with an axe. Things where not going so well though the healer was able to get me back up on my feet till Another Vamp showed up who was giant sized with some weird sword called a Zweihander and started cleaving the enemy Vamps. The fight ended and another Vamp showed up who persuaded us to let them take the 2 knocked out Vamps so they could be properly "dealt with" for going against them.
A specific group of Vamps are the bad guys and the plot is that this group of Mages that me and the other players joined as well as the bad Vamps have devices that let them detect Mages about to awaken so the Vamps try to kill them while we try to save them. Also the 2 vamps in the first session and the second are the same ones, they had just managed to disappear when our backs where turned in the bar.
