Vampire: Bloodlines One-Year Anniversary Q&A

Former Troika Games designer Brian Mitsoda stopped by the Planet Vampire forums to answer a host of questions about Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines to celebrate the game’s one-year anniversary (today, November 16th). His answers can be found on the fourth page of the thread. A snip:

Q: But what about the other ones? Were they characters taken from WW notes or did you make them up yourselves as needed? Characters like LaCroix, Gorgeus Gary, Nines, Jeannette, Ming Xiao, VV, Strauss?

A: Good question. As I’ve said, Beckett and Smiling Jack were White Wolf characters. As for developing the others, that was up to the writer/designers. I wrote over seventy of them, including LaCroix, Gary, Jeanette and Therese, Nines, Damsel, Beckett, VV, Caine, Heather, Isaac, Chunk, Pisha, Mercurio, Larry, Samantha, Ji Wen Ja, Yukie, the blood dolls, the radio script, the news, and a lot of ambient stuff I think that covers the stuff I had the most fun with.

TJ Perillo wrote Jack, Ming, Skelter and a few other NPCs. Chad Moore wrote Strauss and wrote/edited some of the NPCs.
