Introduction
The World By Night Cronicles is what I like to call a Moderated Free-Form RPG Gaming Session. In laymen's terms it means basicly a huge setting where people can interact in character with the setting, a persistent world, between adventures. In pratice this means that if you were to join the "Strange Bedfellows" Cronicle you have the opertunity durring your story to jump ship and say tag along with another Cronicle if you can explain why your leaving mid Mission IC. For example Johny Sharp's player, (ITX Time-Motion Manager who acts a lot like a NWO op) decides he's more interested OOC (Out Of Character) in the "Earth 2: Energon Wars" Cronicle and informs the story runner he's going to get 'stranded' in the Umbra so he can enter their campign. Bob the ST arranges for Johny to get Blasted into the Umbra and thus he switches Campigns. Later on when "Strange Bedfellows" concludes the remaining players can participate in down time by say having a night out in NY, which may or may not bring them into a new Cronicle.
General Rules
Each WoD Race from Fae to Shih are playable and in time will have their own sub sites with details on their game specific setting and rules. We even have a couple Non WoD setting cramed in. But the cronicles of Earth Prime are the main WoD. If you wish to play a character simple use one of the Character Application Sheets you can find at The World By Night Forums, which is also where you post your actions.
