− | + | ==Plot Point Bidding== | |
+ | PBP format doesn't work well for Player/GM back and forth, so I do my best to avoid it. This means the bidding aspect of spending PP on a roll kinda drops off. Instead, I find it helpful for players to indicate (if you are able) how many PP/HD you are willing to spend (if any) to succeed on the roll. I will do my best to make sure those PP are spent as economically as possible to achieve your desired outcome. | ||
− | + | If I am willing to spend enough GMPP that you cannot succeed, I will let you know that so you don't have to burn PP if you don't want to on a failed action (though you always have the option to spend your PP to force me to spend mine in those situations). | |
− | + | If I am requiring an action of you (defending vs an attack, random notice check, etc) I will roll stakes or set a static difficulty so you know what you are rolling against, and I will tell you what PP I am willing to spend. I don't generally pre-roll for actions I think you might take no matter how obvious it might seem, because I don't want to influence how you choose to act in a scene. | |

− | + | ==PVP== | |
+ | While many games in the vampire genre imply a fairly significant amount of player vs player conflict, I prefer not to run games that lean heavily to that assumption. Games like that simply do not need a GM, and I would rather spend my time running games that do need a GM. | ||
+ | If you wan't to do something that directly acts against another player's character, these are your options. | ||
+ | * '''Unilateral Permission:''' The other player agrees to your action. No rolls are needed. Just RP it out. | ||
+ | * '''Limited Permission:''' The other player doesn't agree that it is an automatic thing, but does agree to let the dice decide. | ||
+ | * '''Declined Permission:''' If the other player does not agree to PVP, it doesn't happen. Move on with something else. | ||
