The following is a list of PbP (play-by-post) stories that members of GotEXP are currently participating in. They primarily take place in White Wolf’s New World of Darkness and are separated by White Wolf’s genres:

World of Darkness

 

  • Reaching for a Candle – There’s a whole world out there – so many lights and cultures and so many shadows and secrets beneath it. Of course, some secrets are right under your nose. And we all have our own secrets to find or tell. The characters involved are some of the few that will be turned into this unfortunate set of events and their eyes will really open up to London – Modern London – A city where so much can go badly so quickly.

Vampire the Requiem

 

  • Nekro Pyrae MMVIII – Following Nekro Pyrae MMVI, the year is 2008 and the death of the Hardball Lancea Sanctum Primogen, Ariel du Coudray, has created a lull for the Kindred of New York City.

  • Stories of Sin – This is not the World of Darkness as we know it. Humanity is not a commodity in dwindling supply. People have flaws – but are still good. The world is not falling apart. At worst, life is in danger of becoming predictable, bland, over-merchandised, and boring. The streets are clean and trains run on time. The characters enter – a coterie of vicious, cold-blooded narcissistic bloodsuckers: Enron with even sharper fangs. Cold-war paranoia creeps in around the edges of the American Dream. “Greed is good,” says Gordon Gecko, AIDS is still that “gay disease” and cocaine is the new heroin. The music is overplayed Album Oriented Rock garbage, post-disco, post-punk rock. Death rock has yet to become hopelessly self-referential, and heavy metal is still the tool of the Devil. New Wave bands prance and preen in gravity-defying hairdos on MTV, and rap music hasn’t lost its shine. Cell phones are the size of shoe boxes and Google is just a really big number. Need to call a cab at two in the morning? Use a payphone. Welcome to the 80s. Welcome to San Francisco.
