Alea Iacta Est

I foresee various kinds of episode in the chronicle:

• Mainstream: Most of the campaign should progress a bit like an ensemble TV show; the group follows a mutual plot with camera time shared out as evenly as I can.
• Blue-booking: I'm more than happy to run side-plots for individuals or subgroups in FB threads or extra meetings; this may be the main means for characters to advance in their own clans.
• Side Episodes: Like some ensemble TV shows, I may occasionally have space for something else. Perhaps a flashback episode, or an unusually combat-heavy one. Perhaps someone has arranged a side plot that I deem entertaining enough for a main episode. In these cases if some players' normal characters aren't suitable they can 'borrow' pregenerated ones for the night. We'll see.

There will be some combat. I don't think that'll be a problem for anyone, although players who want to be better at it can quickly become proficient by spending a little experience. If we fancy a combat-heavy episode and their normal characters don't fancy it we can always bring along some stand-ins.
