Cherche Sourcebook Preview

It's Saturday morning, just before noon and I felt it was time to do some unveiling. Just enough to get your pallet whet and get the ball rolling. I've been on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ and I've checked my email to see who's said what. Already this morning I've posted a few things about the upcoming Cherche Sourcebook we've been working on and here are some of the things we've heard about it.

"Seems like you left [another RPG company] in the dust a long time ago. They'd need The Doctor to catch up with you lmfao."

So what are we unveiling today? Well there's the cover, below. Which we're happy to say was taken in South Bend, Indiana. If you know where this photo was taken, then bless your heart.

Some of the things you can look forward to include: Philosophies. Cherche live according to codes. Each Tribe has a code they live by. These Philosophies include The Blood of the Warrior, The Blood of the King, and The Blood of the Scholar. The three schools of thought for Cherche which include archetypes and jumping points for making your Cherche vampire and the attitudes he/she will be immersed in.

We will be breaking down common stereotypes both inward and outward. It's hard to get an idea of these guys and how they work without seeing what they think of others and how they are viewed. Then, we reveal how they really are. After all, if everyone looks at them and thinks, "Oh OK, got it. So I wear a biker jacket and boots with some blue jeans and grab a baseball bat and motorcycle, that's it." Then they'd be dead wrong. Cherche aren't ALL about that. A very minor few of them might be that mindless rabble but most of them are highly organized, small Tribes who answer to each other out of familial loyalty. Think Lost Boys the Tribe, those kids from Blade Trinity, Hell, think Peter Pan with his Lost Boys. There are tons of movies where a group takes care of their own and forsakes all others.

For those of you who like engaging in politics, we've included some stuff for you too. The older, more experienced Cherche tend to engage in politics more (the non-violent kind) while the younger ones are more likely to hang you by your toenails somewhere.

Taking from mortals
Being a Cherche is all about second chances. It's about getting that second wind when something takes you out of the game. When that BMX rider crashes and breaks his leg and ESPN says he'd never ride again, that's when someone comes out of the darkness and reaches out to him. That's when he has a big comeback doing night shows and explodes to live a life of night concerts and parties for the next ten years of his immortal life.

Want to know more? Wait a little longer. Coming in 2014 are the most rambunctious vampires, tearing up the streets and partying hard.

UPDATE: The Cherche Sourcebook was finished January 5th, 2014 and is available for purchase HERE.
