So what you all really mean to say is that some mortal used the phrase at some point in the past, an immortal caught wind of it, and now you're all scrabbling to take credit?

;D

That is how Vampire works, doesn't it?

Actually, the term Emerald Domain comes from the teritory of the vampire group, Emerald Coven, from within the game system, Shades of Nightfall, Seattle was controlled then by Raul's Coven.

But that was some many years ago, in a world far removed from the World of Darkness...

Ehrm... not that far removed.

And we know how interconnected Raul has historically been

[Barnaby Cuthbert]

yes, we can all aggree that gamers are a very small and 'incestuous' circle.

Where when you become a vamp you forget everything except one major personality trait and have a blobby mass of creepyness that acts as an auto masquerade called a knowing?

I always thought the knowing was cool.

Getting one personality trait to base an entire character on was teh gay. Talk about a mandate to make cardboard characters.

Playing Fallen was pretty sweet though. I got all 'The Prophesy' one everyone.

As far as the reset time line, in general add 10 years to most things in your personal time line and things work (In general mind you), as far as The emerald domain used. I also recall BJ being the first to use the term ofcourse my mind is not as good as Victor's

[O'Keefe]

I believe that it was coined when the super natural councel was created by Kell Stormgaurd and he expanded Seattles control to its current immensity. Kell began to call it the Emerald Domain rather than the Seattle domain.

'Shades' may have influenced this game to a degree, but Emerald Domain is not one of them.

This is seriously turning into a bit of a joke, like that line in where the dude says: "You can't fully respect Shakespeare until you have heard it in the original Klingon!"

Shades of Nightfall is definately not a tabletop games, it is full on LARP

Must have been a different game. Just wish I could remember what it was called, then.
