<div align="center"><em><strong>Update: I know I screwed up, and I'm trying to fix things!</strong></em></div><br/><strong>Update:</strong><em>Please note the current schedule for scenes I run is: Mondays, Wednesdays, and optionally on weekends, 3pm to midnight Eastern (8pm to 5am GMT)  (There will also be a one-hour break at 6pm Eastern, 11pm GMT).  For scenes run by thesunmaid and/or by ShamshielDF, please contact them or see their posts on the thread.</em><br/><br/>I'm a glutton for punishment, so I'm starting a third roleplay on the chat: a contemporary supernatural/horror chronicle known as<em>Pulp Scripture</em>.  (My other two are a fantasy game called "Shadows of Terramar" and a currently-on-hold steampunk story known as<em>Perfidious Albion</em>.) The style/genre that I'm aspiring to is the sort of supernatural fiction which Neil Gaiman did in<em>The Sandman</em>and most of his other works, and Mike Carey did in<em>Lucifer</em>.<br/><br/>The game is played on the chat in #WhispersInTheDark for IC conversation and actions, and #WhispersOOC for OOC comments and socializing.<br/><br/><em><strong>If you are interested in participating, please contact me via PM or IM, and feel free to post a character sheet in this thread (subject to review).</strong></em>You can find a character "template" (for garou, but easily adapted for other characters) here (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=36118.msg2781082#msg2781082) and a more detailed one here (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=36118.msg2781139#msg2781139).<br/><br/>I encourage people play whatever type of character they want, as long as it doesn't interfere with the story by either being very unbalanced or by being inappropriate for the genre/setting/style.<br/><br/>Characters can be either humans or supernatural creatures -- almost any character that would be appropriate in a contemporary supernatural/horror story.<br/><br/>I always ask people to play whatever character they will enjoy the most, and I am fine with people bringing in existing characters within reasonable limits.<br/><br/>I am using White Wolf Games' "World of Darkness" setting -- the original one, not the new one. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWorldOfDarkness)<br/><br/>You can find the core rules for<em>Vampire: The Masquerade</em>online but don't worry about them if you're not familiar; instead just worry about the character's background and personality.<br/><br/><strong>We also have a Garou venue called "Moral Victory" which is currently the largest part of the game.
