Nocturnal Callings was born a few weeks ago, the idea of Brad Norsworthy and his wife, Holly Norsworthy. This is not the first attempt at creating a web-zine, and will probably not be the last. However, Brad, Holly, and others, who will be listed below, worked long and hard to make this web-zine a great place, and it could not be done without the effots of many people, who Brad searched out specifically for the purpose of creating a great web-zine.

He's tried to do it alone, and failed miserably. Thanks to those below... The Staff of Nocturnal Callings.

Brad Norsworthy is a strange little man who tends to refer to himself as a cave-dwarf. This is not far from the truth, since he is a dwarf-like person, not in appearance, but in mannerisms. A recluse to the Nth degree, Brad has a severe God complex, especially when Storytelling, and tends to scare most normal people.

Take The Goth Type Test

Brad has been Storytelling since 1993, when he picked up the Mind's Eye Theater version of The Masquerade and the Vampire Player's Guide, thinking that this was like Dungeons And Dragons, where you get the Player's Guide if you're a player and the Dungeon Master's guide if you were the Dungeon Master. Clever as he is, however, he managed to coax the rules from a few people and begin his storytelling adventures.

Brad lives with his wife, Holly, in Lockwood, Missouri (often referred to as Misery by Brad), his cat, Ramius, a few wild cats that belonged to someone once upon a time, a few wild dogs, and something that has been called Sasquatch by the locals. He loves to refer to himself in the third person, and is the founder of the web-zine known as Nocturnal Callings.

Holly Norsworthy married Brad on June 9th of 2000. Introduced to the World Of Darkness last year, there isn't much to say about this mother-to-be, who is currently pregnant with their first son, Trenton Jordan, and is taking care of their kitten, Ramius.

Holly loves to play Vampire: The Masquerade and Mage: The Ascension, write poetry, and erotic stories. She also loves to take care of her family, and hopes that one day, Brad will pull himself out of the internet (literally) long enough to teach her how to ST decently. Her main goal, aside from assisting Brad in the creation of this web-zine, is to break Brad of his God Complex.

(Brad insists that he is not a God, he is -=the=- God and will shove a large helping of Evil Mojo, Wicked Juju, and a Spiked Paradox stick up your ass if you argue with him.)

The VenomousOne got his name from his native american family. born from two seperate bloodlines, one spaniard and one native, he was seen as a threat and was given that title to represent what would soon be his betrayal to the family. He has been through it all, and if he hasn't, he sure is damn close. he has experienced more in his short life than most do their entire lives, but above all, he has managed to retain a lot of his roots as a gentleman and a man of honor through the lessons he learned as an adopted member of a japanese family (crazy isn't it?). a samurai at heart, a savage by nature, but a blueblood above all.

He's fairly new to the world of darkness despite being familiar with it for years. the knowledge is there, along with lots of reading, but the experience isn't. however, he has written a lot of stories either for his own records, english papers, or just to share with others and all pertain to events that happen in his life, and most cross over to other storylines whether it be the crow, darkstalkers, or even dragon ball z. he sides with the ventrue clan because of his royal roots through his father's bloodline that follows back to one of the greatest kings of spain.

He has many names, many aliases, but now simply goes by "V" since all of the aliases started with that letter. the newest name a dearly departed friend, also a native american, has been "VampireSavior" because he always did what he could to stand up for those mocked and segregated by society. he has been a nomad of california his entire life, and amazingly, after four years in the marine corps he still lives in california, specifically, san diego. never been deployed to a foreign country for any reason, and never going to at any time. with enough luck, and perhaps some will power he just might move away from california... or does he love his state that much?

I am a boring guy who has little to say. Favorite White Wolf game is Vampire the Masquerade, and my favorite clan is Brujah. I have been familiar with the World of Darkness for the past 3 years. I am currently involved in a Vampire the Masquerade LARP that is in the OWBN ring. I am also currently involved in a Werewolf the Apocalypse game. I travel to a lot of cities playing in the LARP for the Vampire the Masquerade game. My character for the LARP is named Hawk and is a Brujah. Many people call me Hawk since the character for the game was created.

Non WoD related details: I play drums and I'm in a band called Lane 29, I was in a fairly well known band called Anatomic Weezles � then I quit it because it stopped being fun. I listen to a lot of hardcore type of music and my Favorite band (even though its not hardcore) is Green Day. I am interested in making low budget movies with my Friends for the hell of it in the near future. Paintball is a great sport. I'm currently involved in the Rennesaince Festival, I am a Squire for the jousting knights. Best things to do would be driving around and just hanging out with friends, other than sex, nothing else beats it. If youre riding in a car with me and I'm driving I hope you have balls, I do what the bumper sticker says "drive it like you stole it". Street racing is very fun and almost anything else that is pumped filled with adrenaline... That's just about all there is to know about me.

There once was an innocent little girl who thought nothing about the world of the supernatural until one day a friend of hers handed her a book by Laurrel K. Hamilton six years ago. From there she went on a search into the unknown, into the world ruled by White Wolf. It was later that first year of darkness she was given a copy of the players guide for Vampire the Masquerade by a friend and from there the obsession grew. For the first three years she learned about the clans and bloodlines of the vampires and then slowly started to learn a bit about the werewolves, all the while snatching up every fiction book she could on the subject that came from the White Wolf publishers, along with anything put out by Laurrel K. Hamilton.

After some time she discovered other games, such as Werewolf: The Apocalypse and Wraith: The oblivion (even if she didn't care too much for the latter). Then when the new game of Hunter: The Reckoning came out she snatched it up and fell in love. She created her alter ego on the net to use for this new game and joined the hunter list to write about her character. From the experiences in this list she learned about Changeling and started to toy with that game as well. She then attempted to learn about the mages, but failed utterly as her mind could not figure it all out just yet and has yet to learn about the mummies.

Now this once innocent little girl stands before you, corrupted by the games she loves so very dearly, searching for new ideas and thoughts.
