This is one of my rare public entries about Zeitgeist.

Zeitgeist, for those who don't know, is a live action rpg set in the old style World of Darkness - the one White Wolf nuked. It's run indepedently of the Cam UK by myself, pierot and portilis. We currently have a Sabbat, Cam-Anarch and a Mage game (run by jez), a Garou game (run by me) and a Mummy game (run

See.. I would consider a mage game but not a WoD game... same for Sabbat to a degree.

Huh? I'm missing the distinction; please clarify?

seperate games in their own world an dcontinuity with no cross venue issues. Mage is exciting enpough for me without vampires as is sabbat without werewolves or mummies.

I think it's a whole personal preference thing. To be honest, I think it's possible to play mage without hitting the other venues massively, but I know I wouldn't be able to guarantee that.

I personally quite like the holistic element of ZG - there is a whole world out there, and it isn't artificially kept apart with big walls, but I can see where you're coming from.

Oh I agree if the people playing it want it then great for them. I did think about mage but the x-over aspect was the reason I did not want to play. The big issue with old WoD always was wether the walls were artifical I always though tit was a far better set of rules and experiences if you did not knwo what was out there bar your self. Probably why after MAg eI rate Hunter the Reckonign the best game.

Eh. Its not so much that these creatures live in the same world that bothers me. Its that these creatures are in the same venues. Potentially Mummies in the Mage venue, Changing Breeds in the Mummy venue, Hunters/DA Inquisitors in the Sabbat venue.....

I'll stop ranting now.

That relies on the werewolves not building their caern in your back garden. :) Makes it a little hard to avoid them really.

I know man, I hate cross venue. There are enough antagonists and allies within each venue without the need to find more from other venues. Artifical though thye may be, I prefer barriers...
