Area: The Camarilla is an international social organization sanctioned
 by White Wolf, Inc. which revolves around the gothic-horror genre set in
 White Wolf's World of Darkness. The Camarilla is world-renown for its
 continuous, live action role playing game that spans ten countries on
 five continents. But the Camarilla is more than a live action role
 playing club--we are committed to member involvement and hosting activities
 to encourage members with interest in the gothic-horror genre to socialize
 in a dynamic and creative atmosphere. We publish members' literature and
 art, sponsor convention events, host parties and much more. 

 The Camarilla uses a chapter structure to allow its
 members to tailor their participation in the club in the
 ways they enjoy most. Our global LARP has over 3,000
 members contributing to an international chronicle, with
 each member portraying their persona and interacting
 with other members in small or large groups. Because the
 Camarilla encourages creativity and socializing, many!
 
 members' personas have rich backgrounds that include
 other members' personas' fictional histories. Members'
 character histories are woven into the Camarilla's in-game
 history, allowing for rich, complex characters with many
 connections even before the games begin! 
 
 The Camarilla is far more than just a LARP club, it
 encourages member involvement in many social, charity,
 and other non-gaming events. Members often meet
 formally or informally at conventions, coffee houses,
 specialty shops and a host of other places world-wide.
 Many of our members have international and domestic
 pen pals in the organization. Members write for our
 quarterly fanzine Requiem, help each other develop web
 pages, work on costuming, write poetry and fiction,
 discuss their interests, and improve their role-playing,
 storytelling and leadership skills. The Camarilla is an
 association for all aspects of gothic-horror genre and
 White Wolf games. Member interests range from the
 intense passion of the creatures, to the gothic ambience.
 Stories offer themes of tragedy and struggle for
 redemption to struggles in overcoming weaknesses or
 protecting others. There are even those who simply
 admire the creative costuming and seek to explore the
 accessories that create atmosphere and mood.

CELTS Online Roleplayers Group
Contact:
E-mail:  CELTS@thecelts.com
Home Page
Notes: Founded in 1992 on the former TSN/INN network in the RPG Yserbius,
 CELTS is a serious Role Players group for those that tire of
 playing in the chaotic and vampire strewn IRC chats and child clogged
 MUDs and MUSHes.  In the CELTS, the focus of all RPs are the day to day
 lives of the mundane character. No Magic, no immortals, no omnipotent figures.
 The world has been written and fleshed out through years of intense RP.
 The lives of all the characters, no matter what part of the RP
 world that they may be in, are affected by the actions in some way by
 characters that may be halfway around the globe. This creates a
 richer, much more involving world to lose yourself in, and has proven so
 by the numbers of long term players. CELTS has small pockets of RPers
 spread across the Internet and a few commercial networks.
 There are no stats, no dice, no books of rules to learn. This is
 freeform RP with the guidance of a DM to keep the play in balance and
 direct the action around the player characters.

Notes: Welcome! - Dec. 21st, 1996
 Right now, as you can see, we are in the midst of constructing this
 wonderful site. What is this site for? Here in Dallas, many roleplaying
 game or comic book stores have a book where you can jot down your name
 and what games you like to play. Some GameMasters (Storytellers, Dungeon
 master, whatever..) look through this book for new players and contact
 them about their new game. I've found it to be a great way of meeting
 people and bringing new life to that 8 year campaign. 
 So, here we are. I'm in the midst of constructing a database engine so
 that you can add your name to the list, contact information, and the games
 you like to play. I am also going to put up a wwwboard for people to chat
 on (Thank's Matt!), maybe a newsletter if someone would like to write one,
 and the largest list of links I can try and create. 
 I used to run the Role Players Guild homepage (A student organization at
 the University of Texas at Dallas) a few years ago, so I have lots of
 experience in the RPG WWW world, not the mention the fact that for the
 past year, I have worked at an Internet Provider in Dallas (INTEX.NET)
 as Webmaster.
