Most excellent, most excellent indeed but in the end I think we can work everything out.

**Mordoskul**

Did someone say: Bloodmoon: The Great War?

**halonachos**

Trench warfare with werewolves and vampires sounds fun, let's see who's interested and then see if we want to make a different thread or keep it in the same. If we do keep it in the same thread we need to label each one as being part of a different story.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

That would be possible, Nero already referenced he'd been involved with WW2, odds are he saw time in WW1, would allow me to flesh him out even more.

**Hlaine Larkin mk2**

YAY the revival of Longinus.

But what if PCs start dying and create paradoxes???

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Simple, you fudge it.. either have almost unbelievable moments of fate/luck to prevent their demise or keep an eye on how far you push them on the mortality stakes. Also don't forget Vampires can take serious wounds, and go into the torpor like state we have nabbed (referenced) as used in WoD, to recooperate over time. Werewolves could drag themselves off, for healing as well, so serious wounds could occur, give more disharmony between certain individuals with no actual threat to the main game.

Folks could also make up additional temp npc's, that if they die they go with no issues, or if they survive are someone for FITZZ or the player to reference back in the modern nights later on.

Hunters are the odd ones out as they aren't old enough to be there, but Grandfathers, Uncles, distant relatives, or totally different characters just for fun and potential atagonists for the modern nights could happily take their place.

**halonachos**

We've already had characters with insane amounts of luck so that won't really be a surprise.

But I think that people seem to agree upon WW1, that means gypsies are around too and gypsies are supposed to be pro hunter.

Easy, we remain quite careful and don't put our characters into any situation where they die...that means if something comes up where PCs are in conflict (preferably not though) we'll just have to work it out...

This also works for me because I've already written a piece in BMII about Harlow being in WWI...I have unwittingly covered all my bases with all of these background posts I've done...

**halonachos**

I think that events will have some sort of plot armor involved, just because we know that a character has to make it through doesn't mean the character is going to make it through without being hurt a bit. It also doesn't mean the RP can't be fun if we know that Harlow has to survive any and all encounters for example, we can still make memorable RPs.

I think that this should all be for fun and not continue the story so events should be lower key than the actual RP. That way the characters who are already in the RP will survive and have their backgrounds fleshed out while we avoid making drastic changes to the actual RP.

Great...so now the question remains...

When do we get started?

**Mordoskul**

If everyone's onboard with this, I can have the thread up tonight.

**WARORK93**

Lets not forget that if we do this and characters get hurt...

Its all Chowder's fault since he started the war...

**halonachos**

Definitely up for it, will probably start writing after Friday though thanks to finals.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

Suppose I'm in...

... could always use Carl, he would be alive at that time...

... of course, I could always have Atlas' father (the Crooked World, wolf king, well, presently, before he died), and have him as a char, although I will have to have some Crooked World fluff for it, so I stay in check...

... which do you think sounds better?

**halonachos**

I think that we're going to try to stay in only one realm of existance, not too sure though.

I propose the name to be Blood Moon: Interlude or Blood Moon: A Romantic Comedy with Trench Warfare, Vampires, and Werewolves.

Made me think of RZ&LWC.

**WARORK93**

Shas'ui T'au Kais wrote:... which do you think sounds better?

The first one, as I think the crooked world is really a plot device for BMIII...

Okay, another question...what year will this be set in?

My vote is 1917...because that's the year when a lot of the worst, gritty, bad fighting happened...

plus it was the date that I chose for one of my background stories so if we could stick to that, that would be great...

**halonachos**

1917 is doable, they had tanks by then.

Update: Two more finals, one I need to study for on Thursday and the other is an Art History one that I have a 101 in with no notes taken this semester. So After 5pm on thursday I'm good to go.

**Mordoskul**

Who's running this? Is it to be I? I'm up for both playing and GMing.

No, we need players to survive.

Just kidding, I thought that it was going to be you, playing and GMing that is. Shouldn't be too time consuming on you as a GM hopefully.

Alright, I've got this. When you're all ready, I'll get the thread up.

**halonachos**

I'm ready, screw my exam.

**WARORK93**

Been ready for a while...this is all just to pass time until the status quo is restored anyway right?

**halonachos**

To keep the status quo, and to keep us in RPing shape. This is not a replacement for Blood Moon, keeping the story and characters alive for awhile and having fun.

**Mordoskul**

Thread is up! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/417532.page#3690906

**WARORK93**

Awesome...

question though, if we're using the same character as here, do we still need to post a character sheet?

**Mordoskul**

I would prefer if you did, detailing what you're doing during the Great War.

Is "For the hell of it" an answer?

**Chowderhead**

Woot!

Finally get to do some of the awesome Musater/ei shenanigans I've wanted to for the past year!

**halonachos**

Come on chowder, get rolling, also Mordo are you going to do a character?
