first, they openly admitted that they made two white court virgins because the requests were similar enough. the only difference being that i feed on lust while he feeds on fear. we both became full blooded at the same time, which really sucked. and when they plot dumped him it was like, "oh, good to know i'm the spare rich kid."

second, that damned npc. I want to play him. I got him killed off so I could focus on being leon. but he got brought back and they told me that if I wanted a sheet for him I'd have to give up leon so I dumped energy into playing leon and burned out

third, a player who fucked off for three months decided he cared again and started swinging his dick around in the group chat. Like, i get it, you play ventrue in masquerade but kindly fuck off. I made all this progress and you came in like a bowling ball and fucked it up

fourth, i can't play social characters long term. i was so proud of myself for doing this but i only get one day off a week now, I'm not going to spend half of it sitting in a classroom derping around on my phone waiting for my next scene because the gm to player ratio is bad. Also, when three+ players say 'this scene is human only' i have to sit in timeout

fifth, the pilot game undid five years of damage done to my psyche by world of darkness larp and it was beautiful. the game itself did not stand up as well because when things started falling away I was still the outlier that no one knew!

also, I got accused of playing a carbon copy of Thomas Raith from the books, which is absolute horse shit. Like, you don't know me but kindly fuck off. I wrote pages and pages of backstory and would have broken it out if anyone had bothered to talk to me besides the other two white courts

>.< I'm SO sorry.

my last ditch effort to give leon new motivation was running for mayor and making a black court my opponent was brilliant on the GMs part but none of the players took me seriously. Like, when you promise to properly fund the 'anti supernatural task force' (while assuring them that the white court are no threat) and the cop blows you off. wtf.

I'm not good at social characters long term. I want to and I'm great for about five games then I burn out so hard

I love the system and I love the world so much. I even love that it's designed for characters to grow and change but damnit so much just went wrong. And it was nothing malicious, which is a first for me
