The Dark River Society
is an official Domain of the
Camarilla.
Welcome to the May/June edition of
Undercurrents. Thank you to all who
submitted this month, especially those
who came through at the last minute. I
really appreciate it.
In this issue we have a note from the
DST about the Changeling venue, a
brief overview of how to use the XP log
in Grapevine, a story from Josh
Edwards, and a look at how virtual
adepts fall in love. Also, don’t miss our
new section, “Documents from the Desk
of the Doctor,” a revealing look into the
files of Dr. Zebul McCoy, for a glimpse
into just what makes him the Dr. Z we
all know and love. We also have a
hilarious top ten list and some great
candid shots from Carrie Hirsch.
I hope you enjoy! Ω
News from the DC
By Paula Watt, DC
Hi everyone,
Probably the
biggest
announcement I
have is the
formation of the new chapter. Twelve
members from TN001 and TN003 met
on April 30th to decide what they
wanted to do. They chose the name
“Government Denies Knowledge”, and
elected Mike McMahan as their Chapter
Coordinator. Winn Keathley was
elected Chapter Storyteller, and they
voted to run Garou and Mortal games.
The paperwork is in the works, pending
three months of on-time reports.
We have a few more MC increases:
Charlotte Anderson, Jesse Crawford,
Trevor Marlin and David Toral to MC
2, Carrie Hirsch to MC 3 and Winn
Keathley to MC 7. Congratulations
everyone and keep up the good work!
At the last Domain meeting, we voted to
allow the chapters to raise the game site
prices in order to procure larger game
sites. As a result, the Cam/Anarch,
Mage and Sabbat games will now be $3,
the rest remain at $1.
Punch cards are now available for site
costs. They can be purchased in
amounts of $10, $15, $20, $30 and $45
(cash only). In addition, each card has a
number of free punches. See your local
coordinator about purchasing cards. The
cards can be punched at a game in lieu
of using cash.
One of my projects for this month was
to come up with temporary membership
cards. Some stores (like the Game
Keep) want to see proof of Camarilla
membership before giving us a
discount. The new cards will have your
name and new Cam numbers, along
with the expiration date. The back has
the same text as the old NPO cards, and
a signature is required. If you haven’t
received your card by the end of the
month, let me know.
I also have MC cards for everyone who
is MC 4 and above. These cards can be
used as proof of your Member Class
when you travel to other cities. The new
MC cards have the White Wolf
Camarilla membership number rather
than the NPO number.

We are now awarding prestige for
recycling. You can earn 1 prestige per
10 pop-tabs you collect and turn in (max
10 prestige/month). You can also earn 1
prestige per ½ lb of aluminum recycled
(max 10 prestige/month). You will need
a receipt for the recycling in order to
receive prestige, so be sure to keep it
safe. The money (if any), needs to be
donated to the domain in order for the
recycling to be prestige worthy.
I think that about covers it. See you at
the games! Ω

A Note From the
DST
If you do just what I’ve listed above,
you can earn over 50 prestige per
month. Easy, huh? For a full
breakdown, see the table below.
By Ian Harris, DST
That’s 60 prestige without holding an
office of any kind. Every little bit adds
up :)
Now, we don’t always have a charity
event scheduled for every single month.
During those off months, donate blood
if you can. Or, collect Pop Tabs or
aluminum cans for recycling. At the
game, but don’t feel like playing? You
can volunteer to play an NPC.
Look at the prestige chart and decide
which activities play up to your
strengths. Are you good at
organization? Organize a social event.
Are you good at drawing or writing?
Write an article, or draw a picture for
the newsletter. Can’t write worth a
damn? Keep a pad of paper handy and
jot down Quotes during the games.
Submit these on the web site for
prestige.

Changeling 101:
Lesson One - The Nature of
Chimerical Reality
This will probably come across as a bit
bookish, and if it does I apologize. What
I am about to discuss definitely falls
into the category of “things that are
obvious about Changeling once you
understand it, but are completely
incomprehensible until you do.”
Chimera aren’t real.
Finally, you must, must, must report
your prestige to your coordinator every
month. Drop your Coordinator an email
that lists your activities for the month, at
least three days before the last day of
the month. Don’t worry if you don’t
know which category to use, or how
much an activity is worth. Just list the
activities. Do include as much detail as
possible (including the date, and a
description of any donations). Ω
Description
I thought since we are re-starting our
Changeling venue, some of you who are
less familiar with the game might find
this interesting. Thanks go to Chris
Pitts for the original version.
A chimerical object (i.e.: bought with
the chimera background) DOES NOT
EXIST to the unenchanted. I can take
my chimerical sword and wave it right
through a normal person and they’ll just
wonder why I’m waving my fist at
them. For the purposes of this
discussion, “normal” refers to any
character that is not a fae or enchanted;
this includes vampires, werewolves,
mages, wraiths, etc, etc.
If I build a chimerical house, no one
will see it. A normal person can drive a
car right through it without damaging
either the house or the car. It will not
keep me dry if it rains unless there are
no normal people around. One minute
I’m cozy and warm. Then a bum looks
over, notices me sitting on the ground in
an empty lot, and I’m drenched.
(Note: At this point there would be
Prestige
a simple test of my glamour vs. the
5
bum’s banality. If I win the test,
5
the bum becomes enchanted and
5
can see the house.)

If I have a chimerical dog (bought
with the companion background) it
can’t bite a burglar. It can bark and
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
wake me up, but the burglar won’t hear
a damn thing. He can walk right through
it as if it weren’t even there. That’s
because it isn’t.
This is one of the hardest things for
people to understand about Changeling,
and I usually have to spend at least an
hour going over it with every new
Changeling player. Chimerical reality
isn’t like the umbra. It isn’t another
place that only Changelings can go. It’s
an entire set of stimuli that only
Changelings (and the enchanted) can
interact with. It’s sort of like those
multi-layered transparency drawings.
Chimerical objects / people / animals
are imaginary things, yet to the
enchanted they are just as real as
anything else.
The second way to force the
unenchanted to deal with chimerical
reality is to “call upon the Wyrd”. A
Changeling must spend a Glamour and
a Willpower, and then concentrate for
ten seconds. If you don’t have ten
seconds, spend two more Glamour to
hurry the process along. At the end of
this time the fae has completely dropped
his mortal seeming. In our example
above, the street punk glares at the
person who has been irritating him for a
moment and then abruptly shifts into a
horrific gray skinned monster with red
dripping dreadlocks and a huge mouth
full of flat grinding teeth. The irritating
person screams and runs away. When
calling upon the Wyrd, all of a
character’s chimerical objects and
companions also become real. Note that
this only applies to objects and
companions for which the fae has
actually paid points. There is a
downside to all of this, though. While
“Wyrd,” all chimerical attacks cause the
character real damage instead of
chimerical damage. All chimerical
cantrips cast by the character are
considered Wyrd, and therefore cost an
extra glamour trait.
Ok. I hope this was informative, or at
least not actively annoying. Tune in
later for “Lesson Two - Where is the
Dreaming, Anyway?” and “Lesson
Three - Cantrip Casting Made Easy”.

Deep Thoughts By Matthew Skipper
That is the first thing you have to wrap
your head around. I’ve had people ask
me if Changelings shape shift into their
seemings like Garou go into crinos. The
answer is no, sort of. A Changeling is
(for instance) a normal looking person
and a slavering redcap, at the same time.
I suppose you could say that it all
depends on how you look at him. The
unenchanted see an angry young punk,
the fae see a terrifying monster.
enchantment.
Why did I say “sort of” you ask? That’s
because Changelings do have two ways
to make normal people interact with
chimerical reality. The first is
enchantment, and it’s the way most
choose to go about things. There are
two methods of enchanting a mortal.
The first method is to offer the person
an object that you have imbued with
glamour. If they accept the gift they are
enchanted for one day per trait of
Glamour imbued into the gift. (Note:
Garou, Kinain, Malkavian and Ravnos
vampires remain enchanted for one
week per glamour trait imbued. Mileage
may vary, consult your pineal gland for
details. Hail Eris.) The second method
is to force the enchantment on the
person. To do so you must either defeat
the target in a simple test of glamour vs.
banality or successfully strike them with
a chimerical weapon. Weapon should be
defined loosely here - a fish will suffice,
as long as it’s chimerical and passes
through the person’s body. Then, spend
glamour traits as desired for

May/June 2002
But the story does not end there. I returned
to my Sept and while on patrol in the umbra
I spotted a Lion cub. We spoke with him
and told us that he was ordered by Lion to
keep an eye on me. Ever since his visit I
have had dreams that I can never remember.
When I do I see green and taste blood. I
wake up nights feeling as though I'm being
watched. I have no taint about me.
My Dance with Lion
By Josh Edwards
It seems that due to popular demand I tell
yee the story of what happened to between
Lion and myself that night.
After being attacked by the Spiders everyone
was busy doing this and that. I went off into
the woods and hunted down a large buck and
brought it back to the campfire. I stared
deep and hard into the flames thinking of
Lion and my old Alpha wishes of singing
their tales, maybe fighting alongside of the
Howlers again.
Suddenly I found myself deep in the Umbra
in the realm of Savanna Lion's home. I set
the deer in front of me and I waited. Then a
large Lioness appeared. She took her time
devouring the deer then she spoke to me:
“Well, what do you want?”
I told her, “Mighty Lioness I have returned
here to speak with you. I want to
apologize after we lost your children, our
brothers, few have called to your pride.”
She gazed upon me, “So who are you to
come for your people? You do in fact owe
my kind this much. Are you someone with
such power as to apologize on behalf of
your people?”
“Aye, I'm afraid I am not. I am Guards
Like Angel, Cliath, Galliard of the Fianna.
I come here because I weep for your lost
children. My tribe was closer to your
children than any.”
Then she spoke, “Well, what is it that you
want here?”
This what I feel Gaia wishes me to do. With
permission from the elders, I wish to return
to see Lion and speak with him once again,
only this time I hope that many will
accompany me. This is my charge.
Perhaps Gaia has decided that is time to
rescue one of her lost tribe of warriors.
There is an old saying that Heroes are
remembered but Legends never die. Perhaps
this is the key. Could someone not venture
into the realm of legends and bring back one
of the White Howler legends?
I know that I am but Cliath and I do not
mean to overstep my bounds but must we
not try? Who I am to defy the task that Gaia
has set before me? Everyday I feel the pull
of my quest. It drives me; it feeds my
passion. I must at least try.
I ask for the support of the nation. This is
not my task alone. This is about something
bigger than my tribe, myself or anyone. Let
we Gaia warriors rise up as such and
complete this task as wolves do as one pack.
If I am to do this alone then so be it. But
know that I do this for Gaia, the Nation and
all that we hold dear. If I die in this task it
will be because it was Gaia’s will. But
someone shall rise in place to complete my
mission. Remember me in your howls not
as a fool but as a Garou who served the
mother always and died in her service…

Using Grapevine
By J.T. Talley
Since a number of people have stated that they don't know how to use the experience
log in Grapevine, I have come up with a set of instructions to use it. Always remember,
a date when the experience is logged is *necessary* in the Cam. Also remember that it
is, primarily, the player's responsibility to keep track of their character.
Step 1:
Have a character.
Step 2:
Place the character in Grapevine.
“I ask that you teach me the stories and
songs of your lost children so that they be
remembered as the heroes they once where
and will always be and to perhaps serve in
your pride.”
These first two steps may seem self explanatory, but, hey, better safe than sorry.
She snarled as those last words left my
mouth and leaped upon me and raked me
deep with her claws, yet I did not resist her
attack. I could sense that she was testing
me to see if I would succumb to my rage
and outright attack her.
with "Group," first.
She stepped back and I recovered myself.
“Forgive me Lioness, I meant perhaps one
day to serve under your pride.”
She responded, “Better.” Then she
challenged to me to combat, but alas I was
no match for the mighty spirit. She turned
and started to leave but before she left she
said some final words. Words that have
stuck with me a riddle that I must solve:
“Find your way home, Fianna.” Then I
found myself thrust back out of the umbra
where fellow Garou healed me.
Step 3:
Choose the Characters option from the top menu bar.
Step 4:
Choose the option labeled "Experience Points..."
Step 5:
There are two tabs labeled, "Group," and "Individual." Make sure you start
Step 6:
Select the character you want to adjust the experience on.
Step 7:
Choose the amount and type of adjustment you would like.
"Add," increases the experience by that amount.
"Subtract," decreases the experience by that amount.
"Set Experience To," gives a character a base experience pool.
Step 8:
You should now click on the two check boxes that say "Record the Change
and the Date," and "Record this Reason."
Step 9:
Fill out the date the xp was earned.
Step 10:Fill out the reason the xp was earned.
Step 11:Click on the button "Change Histories."
Step 12:Review what you have entered and click "Yes," if it is right and "No," if it is
wrong.
Step 13:Adjust the stats of the character in Grapevine as you have listed in the
experience log. Ω

Project AMSR-0001345 “Sweet Kiss”
Project Leader Field Test Report
Village of Yinxhou
Guizhou Providence
12 June 1943
On 1 June 1943 agents working unknowingly for Project Sweet Kiss deployed a
total of 1.5 grams of biological agent AWHV-0012 into the main well of the village
of Yinxhou (population: estimated 8000) at approximately 0200 local time. All
agents involved in the controlled release have been accounted for and have
volunteered as subjects in further experiments.
On 2 June, 1100 local time, Agent Zero, placed in the village under orders
to observe for any unusual activities that may point to a Japanese incursion,
reported the first infections of agent AWHV-0012 among 27 fieldworkers. Symptoms
described in his report include: high fever, delirium, dysentery, vomiting, and
shaking. All infected are reported as being completely disabled. Later, at 1830
local time, Agent Zero reported in again to say that an additional villagers had
begun showing symptoms as well as entire pens of livestock. The exact number is
unknown but was estimated by the agent as over two hundred.
On 3 June, 0700 local time, Agent Zero sent his morning update. Included
was a report that over night, several households had been infected and that the
village population had begun to panic. Quarantine efforts underway by local
physician. By 1223 local time, our agent reported that the local physician was
sick and no longer able to assist in efforts. Also, all people attending the sick
through the morning had begun to show symptoms. In his 1830 report, Agent Zero
reported that he feared he had contracted the plague and that only a handful of
villagers were still able to walk.
On 4 June 0800 local time, Agent Zero reported that the first victims of the
plague had begun to die early in the morning hours as well as much of the towns
livestock. This was the last report by Agent Zero.
On 8 June, 1330 local time, aerial reconnaissance over the village showed no
human movement, but a multitude of bodies unmoving in the streets.
On 11 June, it was determined that AWHV-0012 would have run its course and,
as designed, begun to die off. Laboratory tests predict that by 13 June, the
village should be safe to enter without protective equipment for post test
evaluations in the field and sample collections. For extra safety precautions,
the post-opp has been scheduled for 14 June at 0800 local time. A post-opp report
will be filed at a later date no later than 3 July 1943.

Angst and obsession,
privacy and pornography;
how Virtual Adepts fall in
love
By Emily Douglas
It is thought, in some cultures, that the
act of taking a photograph will steal the
subject’s soul. In these modern
times, however, we know that a
photograph takes no more than
.00001% of a soul. It is,
of course, obvious,
when you think on
it. Those who avoid
the flashes and their
images being recorded
and translated through
the digital and the
darkroom (the shamans
and the third world and
the recluses and the
merely shy) keep their
souls well nigh intact,
keep them from being
fractionalized. Those who
live before the paparazzi, with
their thousands of cameras, lose
themselves ever so quickly in this
day and age. It is estimated that
the top Hollywood stars have no
more than a quarter of a soul.
How many forms, do you suppose,
might the imprint of a person take? Can
text and sound and taste be as fitting
shards of a person as an image? Is their
immunization record as valid a
representation of them as their senior
yearbook page? In other words, how
else might one quantify and collect the
essence of a human being?
In the sickly glow of monitor light, we
reflect that perhaps we have as much of
6
7% of their soul saved on the hardrive.
Then again, it may be less than 1%. As
we jerk off to captures lifted from the
campus surveillance system as they
make their way out of one building and
across the lawn to another, as we skim
the layout of their apartment from the
blueprints held at the County Clerk’s
office, retrieve win.amps from their
brief interview on NPR, and take careful
note of the various medicines
maintaining
their daily health on record at
the corner pharmacy, we
reflect. Knowing through what
sizes of clothing they order that their
body’s dimension is roughly thus, that
this style is favored, that color is never
worn, these shoes were obviously
uncomfortable, we reflect. Paging
through the tedious logs of their car’s
maintenance schedule at the garage,
cataloguing the minutiae of daily life,
noting the charges on their credit card
from month to month, idly tracking their
social security number as it goes
through seven, five, twelve mainframes
a day, we reflect.
Vague overtures of romance,
untraceable and largely unnoticed. The
elimination of an accumulated hospital
debt. The curve of their ear, cropped
from a photographer’s negative, layered
subtly into a creation for a local ad
agency. Rearranging the TV station’s
scheduling so that a number of their
favorite movies will show at a time
that happens to coincide with
when they will be home and
free to enjoy. Their name
slipped subliminally into a
track of samplings for a DJ
to mix into his music.
Their favorite dish
gradually gaining
prominence in a number
of restaurants around
town by judicious
placement of
variations on
the recipe. A
quick crash of a
professor’s computer
when an exam is
coming, when we
know that they need a
little more time to
study. They will
never see these marks of devotion, these
gestures of adoration. But we will know
that they are there.
But we wonder, as we comb through all
the bytes of data, all the hardcopy
layered in a box for incorporation into
the files, about something that cannot be
gleaned by ordering the same book they
last bought from Amazon.com, or
rummaging through their grades from
last semester. We wonder what our
name tastes like on their lips. Ω

There are all sorts of strange

him unable harm others. Instead,
he turns those impulses upon
himself…

Top Ten Ways to Piss Off the Prince
By Fred Barrell
10. Find a bathroom, declare Praxis of said bathroom,
and charge boons for entering your domain.
9. During your initial interview with the Prince, demand a
minor boon for every question you answer.
8. Bring your brood of ghouled monkeys... all dressed
