Because I'm getting the sense that I'm doing that thing I do when, in the furtherance of springing fun surprises, I accidentally give the players too little info, he's a little clarification about what I have in mind. We haven't started up the opening story yet because we're giving enough people as need to fill out the Sects time to make their characters (and we're far closer than you might think, more people are working on sheets than show up here regularly at this time). While I had planned on keeping even the very basics secret for the sake of impact, the fact that we're running some before-the-fact stories means I need to give you guys at least some info. Our opening story will be that, under the cover of mortal riots over governmental austerity measures, the Sabbat launched a crusade against Oddhaven. The disaster went on for weeks, both on the mortal and supernatural side, before burning itself out without any victor. All the Sects got caught up in and decimated by what rapidly turned into a four-way struggle. Most of the city's former vampiric residents will be dead at the start (don't worry, not going to kill off any NPCs that are mentioned in character sheets) and while there will be some NPCs, the PCs will constitute the majority of the vampiric survivors. Just keep that in mind while running stuff before we kick the opening story off. You guys are even welcome to invent NPCs who held Sect titles prior to the cataclysm, as they'll all be dead when we open.

If we had ideas for dead NPC's should we PM you or Strigus, or another story mod, or is there another place we should post?

I was more just thinking if they appear in the course of a story being run then create/use them freely, rather than compiling a list. Because we can always retroactively come up with them at any point after the story starts too, so there's no particular need to be encyclopedic at the moment.
