    Nexus draws it's name, and beginning, from the convergence of ley lines that span across Sacramento to intersect at the top of the Wells Fargo Tower. They all came to study, or wonder at the mystic bands of energy. Changelings, mages, vampires, werewolves, others. And in doing so, discovered one another. Rather than fighting over the man-made aerie, a detente was born. Quiet and careful study slowly shifted over the years into the current state of affairs -- a private party for the city's supernatural.

    Nexus occupies the top floor and roof of the Wells Fargo Tower. It's lavish and decadent and very, very secret.

    This is the new play-testing sandbox of open crossover.

    Yes, with reveals.

    A few setting pictures can be found in the social group that's also a play-test of using social groups instead of wiki pages for locations, but this isn't about that.


    What You Can Not Do
    • Question the ownership of Nexus ICly. We don't know. We never came up with a good idea, but it's not owned by the vampire Prince or mage Hierarch, or whomever. Everyone should treat it as an island.
    • Question the history of Nexus ICly. Don't ask why it appeared overnight. Just smile and nod that it's always been there.
    • Do not recruit out-of-venue characters for venue plots.
    • Do not recruit out-of-venue characters for venue rivalries or politicking or murder.
    • Do not volunteer to help with out-of-venue plots.
    • Do not volunteer to help with out-of-venue rivalries or politicking or murder.
    • Do not trade or give or establish venue-specific line items with out-of-venue characters. That includes Pledges, Vinc'ing, Artifacts, Hedge Fruit, etc.
    • Do not start a fight, be a dick, etc. Don't tell the werewolf you can kick his as or call the vampire a leech or brag about being able to cast a sunlight spell.
    • Do not white knight.
    • Do not 'out' other characters in your venue without permission.
    • Do not infer information or use the transitive law elsewhere, i.e. meet [X (Vampire)] at Nexus, then assume [Y] is a vampire in a non-Nexus Shard because they know or are with [X].
    • Prometheans, Geists, Mummies, Demons, Slashers, or any minor template which is intrinsically antagonistic are not allowed.


    What You Can Do
    • Reveals and open talk.
    • Hook up.
    • Feed or get fed on.
    • Use powers in non-provocative ways, including with subject consent. Walking through a wall is fine, creating a ball of fire is not. Mind-reading with permission is fine, mind-reading without permission is not.
    • Talk about past plots.
    • Continue connections made at Nexus outside of Nexus threads (but the Do Not rules still apply).
    • Bring your Shades and what-not.
    • Minor templates will be allowed with the above exceptions, but please ask first in case something has been missed. This includes Changing Breeds, but nothing silly. No were-octopus or were-pangolin.


    These rules/guidelines are subject to tweaking based on how things go. If something isn't explicitly covered by them, either ask or give it fair consideration. The intent should be quite clear of what is allowed and isn't, and trying to be cute about skirting the guidelines will only result in us calling this a failure or banning specific players/characters.

    Nexus Shards are going to be used sparingly, like Man In Black, at most quarterly so as not to detract from player-owned Sites in Shards.

    I'd like to keep this thread clean for further announcements and/or actual scene discussion once the first Scene is opened, so please ask any preliminary question in the Shards OOC thread.
    Don't hate the player, hate the game.

    Found a comic that the Nexus concept reminds me of. Have fun everyone! Thank you for setting this up West and all our wondrous moderators.
