Bringing Good Role players together all over the world

What is the Camarilla?

Basically, the Camarilla is an international organization designed to keep their members safe while playing. A more in depth definition is that the Camarilla is an organization that provides a structure that: (1) Provides a safe gaming environment, (2) Provides a Social atmosphere to be creative in, (3) Provides members with a way to give back to their Community at the same time rewarding you for it, (4) Is the Name of a Character Based social order in one Venue we play.

How does it do all that?

·    Well there are rules set in place that I'll give the quick version of below (See rules of conduct) for members to follow, and this goes for those who are visiting as well.

·    A system is in place for members who can find time to give back to the Community through volunteer service, blood donations, bringing sodas to game, or even offering up their home for a game. This Donation, how ever small, when reported or noticed is awarded a point total, this total goes into a larger total and added up monthly to give you a Membership class. This Membership Class can be transferred to your Characters and give you points you don't actually have to earn in game. But you can only do this with a paid membership.

How does one know if they Like to play in the Camarilla?

Most times we will let you make a character and try out our games (generally for 6 months) then if you like what we do. A list of Venue storytellers can be found here.  The Venue Storyteller (VST) can help you better understand the venue and will guide you through making your first character. After you have a character approved by the appropriate VST, just show up at the time and place noted on the schedule. If want to join the club, you will need to fill out an online membership form (Free Trial) and pay $20.00. However, you do not have to pay the $20.00 for your 6 month trial membership. If this cost is an issue, and you want to join, something can be arranged and the members can possibly help with this cost.  This buys a one year membership to the organization.

What's the benefit of joining the Camarilla?

·   Membership in the largest Gaming organization in the World. There are 7 nations already, there is also over 100 chapters/domains in the US and Canada, so even if your on Vacation in say Hawaii you could still play the character you made right here at home.

·   Online Services such as In character and Out of Character Chat with members all over the world. (mIRC / Gmail Chat)

·   Access to as many e-mail lists as you can take, then there is always still more.

·   Use of Membership Class, and the ability to earn even more. A paid membership buys you MC 1, you can; in time, earn up to MC 15. Each membership class gives you 20 points to add to your character, or you can create a new one with an additional 20 points per MC class you gain.

·   Security of knowing that you will not be subject to any strange behavior that you may find offensive or hurtful without recourse in the organization. 

·   A way to publish creative materials (i.e. pictures, stories, articles, etc.) for free, and get others works for free. We have local, regional, national, and international publications that go out to all who have paid memberships.

What are the rules that keep me Safe?

·   Keep it Real!  Remember this is just a GAME your playing a CHARACTER and that is not real life, so yea, a hand can take a head off or a crow can rip through a car roof… Vampires and Werewolves don't exist, as long as you understand that when participating in the Camarilla everything will be ok.

·   Be Honest. I'm going to be honest with you, you are honest with me, and everything is fine, if your not, we need to have a chat and find out why. 

·   There Will be no abuse, not from anyone, and if there is the Coordinator needs to know about it, that is not tolerated at all.  Also no one can harass another member at all.

·   At a game, on the internet, or when talking one on one about the stuff we do at games are subject to all the rules of the Organization

·   Physical Contact is to be consensual. Yes its live action, but we talk out a fight using adjectives, not fists.

·   No member can carry a weapon unless by law (i.e. if they are a cop) have to, and even then it takes approval.

·   You will not be discriminated against for any reason at all.  If you are a victim of this the Coordinator needs to know.

·   The Camarilla is free of Drugs and Alcohol; you do that on your own time, not ours.  But you may be invited to a party not Camarilla related

·   You can not participate in illegal activities while participating in a Camarilla Event of some kind.

·   If someone calls a time out for some reason, stop!

·   Members as well as non-members will be expected to not do anything that would jeopardize the safety of even one member (including self).  So if you wanted to simulate the fall of a 5 story building, you can't unless you use something like G.I. Joe's

·   Be Courteous of others and respect their space and privacy. 

·   No spreading Lies or rumors

·   Maintain the general Relationship between the Game site owners and the Organization as well as keep our good standing organization free from bad publicity. 

·   Try and generally get along with members while participating in Events and Activities.

What are some of the Drawbacks to membership?

The Camarilla is very different from most other organizations out there. The drawbacks is that we are held to a code of standards (as above) that if broken can result in the suspension of rights (as gone over in Benefits). In order to facilitate special types of characters, standards have been set into place, and rules follow the awarding of special types. This is a draw back because you can not gain access to this ability until a membership number has been purchased. Once you get that you can apply for special things. Beyond that there is not limit to possibilities in the Camarilla!

About our domain:

We are a dedicated group of role players who believe in honesty above all else. We may have our little problems once a year or so, but we are a group of friends who despite the rules above mange to keep our friendship in binds with the organization keep our values and respect for each person. We're happy to invite anyone who feels that they can be honest and sober to every event, after that I think we can build a great friendship with our common bonds and unique pasts. If you would like to talk to the Domain's Coordinator e-mail dc@bloodfireandfielity.net Thank you!
