Rothschild Boulevard Puns

Preface: For those reading this, know that this entire scenario really happened. As rare as completing a campaign actually is, this one ran for thirteen months, on a weekly basis. I was inspired to chronicle the story after reading other tales of RPGs, and, kept a word document spanning the length of the game’s run, which grew to be 107 pages in length (including NPC backgrounds, story threads which never came to be, combat notes, and individual pieces of information given to characters over the course of the game. From these notes, I have compiled my summation. This is a VERY LONG story, with this post serving as the first of three installments. This is also my first time posting a story, so, if I've made a breach of etiquette in any way, let me know!

In May of 2020, I reached out to a group of friends, offering to run a Discord one-shot for the White Wolf game, Vampire: The Masquerade (20th Anniversary Edition). This is a game I’d run a short campaign for previously, though not with all of the same players. Wanting to lean hard into the gothic-punk horror-vibe of the Vampire line, I told the players that the game would be set in Los Angeles, beginning on the same starting date as the actual game was being played, with one exception. I chose the year 1981, instead of placing the mission in the true modern-day. This setting allowed for players to build characters as either Sabbat or Camarilla (with Los Angeles being an Anarch city ruled by clan barons, rather than a Prince or Bishop).

The conditions I set for the game were as follows:

1. Each player would have to choose one of the existing clans from the game-line. No Caitiff were allowed, as I wanted to make the clan weaknesses a more active part of the mission.

2. Each player was given 200 experience to flesh out their character beyond starting builds. As this was intended to be a single mission, not a campaign, my intention was that players would be able to really play the characters they so often worked toward, but never fully realized. As a veteran of twenty years playing various role-playing games, I’d seen firsthand the collapse of countless stories for as many reasons, and, wanted players to be able to play a character without the concern for unlocking future abilities. This decision became the fulcrum around which the entire campaign developed, but, we’ll get to that.

3. No character could be more than two-hundred years old at mission-start.

4. All V20 material was accessible for building a

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

The doctor says it terminal.

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Apologies for posting this a little later than I had planned. Here is the final post to our 4 part BK saga. A friendly reminder - I know little about the truth of these claims, I am simply summarizing the information that is contained within the book itself! Next I will post about Little Kathy, but its likely that I will move over parts 1 and 2 before I do, as well as update them with some links and photos.

We return to Big Kathy after the death of her most recent husband, Jack Catain. Kathy is beginning to get low on money. She chooses to sell the house that Ken Richards had built for her. She used that money and is rumored to have also borrowed from a well off Middle Eastern man one of her daughters was dating. She buys a two bedroom condo in Beverly Hill. It was on the first floor and was described as modern. Jane Hallaren would describe the building as "characterless."

Kathleen is now in her 40s and single. Adele Avanzino, sister of previous husband Larry, says that BK was "at a stage in her life when she was cutting back and trying to make life a little simpler." I'm wondering if this is code for midlife crisis because Jane Hallaren reveals that BK told her she was "going to get another baby." (I also think that maybe her girls were out on their own, older, and pulling in less money for her, so maybe she was hoping to raise another child star?)

BK told Jane "there is this terrible woman who doesn't want her baby, and I'm going to get it. I met this woman in the parking lot and I told her 'you'd better get me that baby.'" Jane contends that BK was baby crazy, but was alarmed at how "illegal and grotesque" the plan was. Jane tried to reason with BK, asking her how she would take care of a baby with her lifestyle(aka the booze, partying, and frequent night guests). BK replied "Well if I can't do it, the girls will take it. They want another baby, we all want another baby in the family."

Jane says this made her really wonder how much control BK had over her daughters. A few months later, Jane checked in with BK, asking if she had gotten the baby. BK replied "no, no, no I can't go into it but that horrible girl didn't let me have her baby." However, this statement would be only partially true. The pregnant woman in question was actually the girlfriend of a Dugan family relative. The woman didn't feel prepared to take care of a baby, so BK asked to take it. Adele Avanzi

And now I’m cannelloni

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!
