| Chronicle/Position | Voted for | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| St. Louis, MO - USA, Shadows of St. Louis | Against | Per Storyteller Decision. Parts of the Packet look good and parts look really abusable. So we're gonna have to go with no. |
| Los Angeles, CA - USA, La Sangre De Los Angeles | Abstain | |
| Pirenopolis, GO: No Man's Land | Abstain | |
| Sheboygan, WI - USA, Blood on the Lake | For | Per Storyteller decision. |
| La Crosse, WI - USA, The Rivers Edge | For | Good revision. I like that Calling the Thing in Darkness no longer has the potential of adding 10+ attributes. Finally the flavor fully supports Lasombra and Abyss ideals, one part beneficial, one part fearful and many parts threatening. |
| Iowa City, IA - USA, Fields of Rage | Abstain | There are things we like about this proposal. The defining of AM as blood magic to cut down on the crack out there is a plus. The scrying and other factors are too much. So, we are abstaining. |
| Cape Cod, MA - USA, Rage Across the Cape | Abstain | |
| Berkeley, CA - USA, Wasting the Dawn | Against | |
| Stockton, CA - USA, Stockton by Night | For | Been thinking about it. This is better than the nothing. The Packet needs work, like lots, but its better than some of the stuff games have home brewed. Abyss Mysticism SHOULD be its own for of blood magic. |
| Milwaukee, WI - USA, Nocturnal Rapture | For | I personally deny that AB even exists and will not allow it in my chronicle, but that's something I can put in my house rules. However since it already is out there in other games, I am for this packet to give everyone a common ground in those games that do have it. |
| Decatur, IL - USA, The Chaos Within | For | For those who think ''this isn't needed'' or ''we should stick to the Clanbook'', know this .... There are currently PCs in the org who possess both blood magic and AM. And the Clanbook is very vague on AM, leaving it very open for abuse. This is more than needed ..... |
| Promise, CA: Broken Promises | For | |
| Cedar Rapids, IA - USA, Five Nights | Abstain | There are some things we like, some we don't, so we are taking the middle ground. |
| Sacramento, CA - USA, Sacramento By Night | Against | Abyssal... Mysticism... can we keep the blood magic down please? We have enough wooj out there. |
| Duluth, MN - USA, Thicker than Blood | Abstain | Pending discussion witht the rest of my players. |
| Philadelphia, PA - USA, Nusquam | Abstain | Pending ST Staff discussion. |
| Chicago, IL - USA, Dark Requiem | For | |
| Fredericksburg, VA - USA, Caine's Chosen: Liberty in Death | For | |
| Plainfield, IL - USA, Obsidian Shadows | For | |
| Indianapolis, IN - USA, Stars Never Rise | For | |
| Winona, MN - USA, Winona Dark Haven | Against | |
| Auburn, CA - USA, Lux Tenebras | For | |
| Norwalk, CT - USA, Rails of Revolution | Against | I really like the packet, but I severely disagree with the inclusion of AM as a Blood Magic. |
| San Francisco, CA - USA, Always Comes Evening | For | After a long discussion and vote, we've decided to go Yes on this so that it may be regulated. We generally do not support PCs with this ability, though. |
| Providence, RI - USA, Hidden Flame | Abstain | |
| Atlanta, GA - USA, Whispers of Atlanta | For | It's a well-written packet. The rarities and coord approval will hopefully keep it from becoming widespread, and games are still free to just not allow it in their chronicle if they don't want to. There is no detriment to voting for it as long as it's well regulated. |
| Fargo, ND - USA, Within Shadow's Reach | Abstain | pending feedback |
| Dayton, OH - USA, Dying Embers | For | Anyone who thinks that voting this down will put a Cap on AM is kidding themselves. Even if this packet fails I'll be using this as a guide for AM in my chronicle and look forward to revisions and improvements from Team Lasombra. I know that it's a lot of effort to put one of these together and applaud their efforts for even trying. Thanks! |
| Macon, GA - USA, Stolen Hours | For | This puts a limit on how many PCs can have this most predominantly. I'm all for that. |
| Cincinnati, OH - USA, Shadows of Cincinnati | For | |
| Columbus, OH - USA, Columbus in Darkness | For | |
| Gary, IN - USA, Shattered Souls | Against | |
| Phoenix, AZ - USA, Secundus Surrectum | Against | I'd prefer to stick to just what's in the Lasombra Clanbook. If it's good enough to be the Lasombra Genre Packet it's good enough to be their Sorcery Packet too, frankly. If you want restrictions on Abyss Mysticism make it R&U, don't make a packet expanding what's in the Clanbook at the same time. |
| Amador, CA - USA, River of Shadows | For | I am happy to see restrictions placed on hereto ignored powers. Maybe next packet will do away with it all together..till then, bungee is better than the free fall. |
| Kenosha, WI - USA, Memento Mori | Against | |
| Green Bay, WI - USA, Shattered Dreams | Against | |
| New Orleans, LA - USA, Long Night | For | |
| Iowa City, IA - USA, L'Ange Noir | For | |
| St. Augustine, FL - USA, On Haunted Ground | For | Good Well Balanced and certainly lacking the odor of Fromage ;) |
| Northern Virginia, VA - USA, Night Falls | For | Great fixes and conversions for what has sometimes been an abused powerset. |
| Edwardsville, IL - USA, Caught in Eternal Twilight | For | |
| Baltimore, MD - USA, Dark Harbor | Against | |
| AHC 1 | Abstain | |

| Chronicle/Position Unknown | Against | After discussing it with the Lasombra players of the area i have to agree with them that there is no reason they would ever waste their ONE bloodmagic possability on abyssal mystacism. |

| Chronicle/Position Unknown | For | Abyss Mysticism already exists in the org in many games, on many levels. Having some regulation is long overdue. (that and we kinda know the folks who wrote it, and what they had to cut out from the proposed powers) |
