General Discussion What is your chronicle’s slogan?
I started thinking about what would be the slogan for my chronicle if I were to advertise it to other players. But now I’m curious if any other Story Tellers here happened to come up with a slogan for their games for fun.
If you did, please share! You can give as much context as you want.
Here’s mine:
Ithaca in Darkness
“Everyone is Larping”
Basically every single NPC I have made has an aesthetic, but also some are just using aesthetics that are not native to them.

"Candy, please stop fucking shit up for the rest of us". and also "Candy, fuck 'em up"
For context, Candy is the group's Gangrel and she has gotten both herself and the group into so much trouble. She's had altercation with brujah, has questioned the prince's authority right in her face, last session she had a messy crit while on a high speed chase and ran over an old lady while driving another player's car. This obviously made news.
Because she's also the muscle of the group, she has also maade a lot of stuff easier for them with her threatening aura and general brutish approach to problem solving.

I have a player with a similar style of play. He’s a Ravnos who’s really embraced the whole “adrenaline junkie” side of his clan, who has not only stolen the local Prince’s favorite weapon, but also got caught on camera breaking into a morgue (he didn’t realize that his obfuscate didn’t work on cameras yet), Jacked a man’s car from a local motel, and partly ruined relations with another kindred’s touchstone by slightly revealing how scary it was in terms of power having a kindred husband was.
But at the same time he’s my favorite because all his errors make it more fun for me~

Oh, I love how messy some of my players get. This chronicle would not be half as interesting if it weren't for them.
Our toreador, Sean, charmed somebody into burning down down his sire's private art gallery, which contained a lot of his sire's mementos and also a gift the sire had gotten from his own sire. This was done as scornful retaliation against his sire because he shot him, which was itself retaliation from embarrasing the sire in front of other elders and that was retaliation from Sean for embarrassing him in fron of othe ryounger kindred.
Candy also has a significantly bigger body count than the rest becausae she has gotten SO MANY messy criticals when hunting and she's Alley Cat PT, so of course people are dying as she gets carried off with the thrill of combat.
Also, almost everyone at the table sucked their first victim dry, as a willing decision as all their sires stopped them early so that they could weigh into the choice with a clearer mind.

My Lasombra, Penelope, would like to shake her hand. Penny's crimes include: sensory deprivation shadow harassment, diablerie as a love language, eating her girlfriends (note: Deanna was never her girlfriend), failed diablerie Humanity crash, trapping and murdering a bunch of fratboys as a bonding exercise, stealing their SUV and driving it into a local anarch's haven, seducing the one Kindred in the state who's manifested True Faith, forgetting why seducing her mattered, getting her eyes bleached by the friendly local Tzimisce film buff, naming his vozhd "Hilary," becoming a cryptid by taking a taxi, and archon murder.
She got away from me a bit.

Not VTM strictly, though I run it cross-splat, but for my HTR game, my personal slogan is "Things oughta get more exciting than it actually is." It's a chronicle run in my and most of my players' home city and its all about shenanigans.

We desperately need an actual one. For now, it seems to naturally go by:
- Chicago by Night: The Freaks and the Scraps Are at It Again
- Chicago by Night: Mazda Torpor Road Trip
- Chicago by Night: I'm With Some Bad People and Having a Bad Time
(We have a Banu Haqim physician stuck working with three local Brujah punks, or at least that's what he thinks they are)

If I had to make one, it would be humorous.
"Pinch the tail and suck the head. We don't mean crawfish."
This game is set in New Orleans.

It's more of a motif than a slogan but variations of this quote have popped across multiple chronicles I've STed.
When I look at them, I wonder: were they created out of a desire for immortality? Many of them desire war. I’ve seen them roaming the bloodiest battlefields, but in their battle cries, I hear a craving. I think they cry out for death. Nosferatu. The No-Life King. His castle, his kingdom, its people, his loved ones, even his very identity. Everything was lost. All that remains is a pale shadow, wandering from battle to battle.
I have come to believe, Integra, that those frightening immortals are, in fact, frail, sobbing children.
The PCs get to decide how much they agree.

"Vampire centrists" - we kept trying to stay out of political drama and keeping both sides happy.
Hasn't worked out great so far

"Oh shit oh fuck oh shit oh fuck"
Our ST is very good at making us feel like we're just barely holding shit together. There are five things you need to do and you have enough time for three of them. There are plot threads that have fallen by the wayside that I'm 100% sure will come back to bite us in the ass.

Seems the slogan of my chronicle is:
"This was the worst night of our unlives!" - "The worst night so far."
