- Content - How much did you do to further the actual game plot or did you just spend the whole night reading your e-mail and watching reruns of 'Leave it to Beaver'?
- Background - In character generation, you write a background story. During the game, the ST's look to see if any aspects of the characters actions are a reflection of something from the character's background story. If so, XP is awarded.
- How many characters can I play?
- Each player can have up to 1 character per genre (Vampire, Werewolf, Mortal). So 3.
- How often does game time advance?
- Game time advances as fast as the players as a whole make it go. 1 game day could be 1 week or 1 month. It all depends on how regularly people post, how long people spend in conversations, special events (Elysium, a Moot, or whatever the Sabbat do.), and so on.
