The Rules

•  The Automatic Success rules from page 193 in Vampire Revised are in effect.
• Willpower Automatic Success rules are in effect.
• Both of these can only provide one success per action.
• In addition, each primary character has ten "Autosuccesses" per chapter and each secondary character has five "Autosuccesses" per chapter to advance the player's plans.
• All sources of success are cumulative.  For instance, if you have more dice than the difficulty of an action, you get one success.  If you choose to _also_ spend a Willpower, you have two successes on that action.  If you further choose to spend three autosuccesses on that action, you have a total of five successes on that action.
• AVOID COMBAT.  This should be a diplomatic game.  If combat is required, we will play it out face-to-face.
• You each know the rules.  Use your best judgement.  Don't go out of your way to abuse the system.
• A chapter is an e-mail.  Assume that each chapter is approximately six months long.  This time length will vary depending on how things seem to be working.
• Please try to maintain a two week turn around, for the sake of the Storyteller and your fellow players.  The Storyteller will attempt keep his turn around to one to two weeks, depending on the amount of personal attention he must give each reply as opposed to how much can be done in a single public posting.
