Use of Horses is all but unavoidable, making the curse a much bigger deal. In Modern Nights, cats and dogs shying away from you isn't a big deal at most it's a hint to hunters and observant humans that there's something odd about you. Remember that animals are a very important factor in the DA. Really focus in on the fact that darkness shrouds everything, and that light comes with its own risk The Red Fear. The only way to see at night is with Supernatural powers (Abyss Mysticism, Lure of Flames, Protean) or by risking the use of fire. Natural light is barely a thing, and light pollution is minute. Best quote I've heard on DA: "The Vampire DA is a world lit by Torchlight". How do I make the best of the Dark Medieval setting as a Storyteller and what are some good general pointers for running a good Dark Ages game? I'm leaning more towards Dark Ages: Vampire for the sake of mechanical clarity, but I will read over both before making my decision on the rules to use. VtDA has a more evocative atmosphere and overall matches the tone of the game I want to run, but DA:V has better mechanics, especially concerning the Roads of Salvation. I own both of them and like both equally. Other than that, I am still having issues thinking of side quests and other plots to keep players occupied.Īs for rules, I am torn between Vampire: The Dark Ages and Dark Ages: Vampire. The game is set in Britain in the year 1197 AD, and although it is still in the early stages of planning, I do know I want to run it as a sandbox chronicle with an overarching Myth Arc in the background that becomes more and more prominent as the players progress. I intend to run an online game for the Dark Ages setting on this very forum in the Play By Post section soon, but I need some advice on how best to craft stories for the setting. Much more interesting than even the modern times, and while I have played Dark Ages, I have never been the Storyteller for a chronicle set in the Dark Medieval. Alright, I am getting into the Dark Ages setting for Vampire, and I find it very interesting.
