I have never had a chance to do any LARP, but I have read most of the books. Any other Side/Toreadors out there?

I love Masquerade! I usually play a Tremere or a Tzimisce. But being new to Cali I’ve yet to find a new playgroup. Never tried Changling though, how is it?

I play a Sluagh on New Bremen (go to the White Wolf site and it’s under Interactive), never had a chance to LARP a changeling… though my cold recently made me wonder if I was going through my chrysalis, with my voice going almost completely and all 😛

Tonight I go to play one of the vampire games I play (I play 2) and I will either play my Toreador, or my Malkavian. The clans I’ve played are those two and Gangrel, not really any other. Maybe I will branch out in the near future though… we’ll see. And next Friday I get to play my Gangrel… she might be leaving soon which is why I say I might get to branch out 😃

The Kith in Changeling are Sidhe, Troll, Knockers, Satyrs, Sluagh, Pooka, Eshu, and Redcaps.

Sidhe: Faerie sword fighting aristocrats; beautiful, but very susceptible to “Banality.”

Trolls: Strongest, big, fiercely honorable.

Knockers: Ingenious inventors and builders of amazing contraptions that don’t always work as intended.

Satyrs: Artists and Hedonists

Sluagh: Double-jointed goth antique collectors, sometimes with Malkavian friends.

Eshu: Nomadic bards and storytellers.

Redcaps: Punks with huge mouths that bite off entire limbs in battle. Can eat anything.

Pooka: Animal-like shape-changers with disregard for physics and time; mischievous pranksters.
