Venue Style Sheet Information in the Tome

Emphasis has been added to these excerpts to highlight certain passages from the Tome of the Camarilla:

The Sanctioned Game

Most chapters and domains host and participate in the Camarilla's sanctioned global chronicle. The sanctioned chronicle is created by the collaborative efforts of players and storytellers across the world. By agreeing to work together and link chronicles, we are weaving a grand tapestry of a unified worldwide story. In the sanctioned game, players in Perth can interact with players in Seattle, London, Dublin, and Paris. One of the most exciting events is to see roleplaying events in one part of the world have ripples elsewhere. This may happen when events from your game have an impact on nearby cities or they may have a subtle impact on events in another part of the world. In the sanctioned game, there is a whole world available for you to explore.

For a chapter or domain to include their storyline and their members' characters in the sanctioned chronicle, they must file a venue style sheet, report regularly, have a storyteller that has completed the required ordeals and meet the on-going guidelines of their RST. Storytellers must remember that the Vice President of Storytelling and the National Storytellers set the direction and overall style of the game. The RST, DST, and CST must consider themselves to be acting as extensions of their National Storyteller and the Vice President of Storytelling and they should apply and interpret the rules as they think the National Storyteller would do in that same situation. This is the only way the Camarilla can foster a level of consistency throughout the game.

Venues

Venue is a term used in the Camarilla to describe roleplaying events that are part of the sanctioned global chronicle. Generally, a venue focuses on a specific supernatural type and also adheres to the style and limitations established by the National Storyteller. Chapters are encouraged to host sanctioned venues that reflect their gaming style or philosophy, but they must comply with the rules supplements appropriate for their nation. A chapter may also host multiple venues. For an event to be included in the sanctioned game it must have a venue style sheet approved by the Regional Storyteller (or National Storyteller in countries without regional officers). The venue style sheet describes the style of the event (e.g. drama, political, action) as well as the creature types that will be allowed at the event (e.g. vampires, werewolves, wraiths, bete, Sabbat). For more information on the venue style sheet, see the Camarilla Storyteller Guide. Members wishing to portray a character in a sanctioned venue must present characters that meet the parameters of the venue style sheet. The CST may deny any character at a chapter venue or troupe game if they deem the character inappropriate to the published venue style sheet.
