IC: Vampire: the Requiem - To The Strongest

This game is set in the same time as the Dark Era's Too The Strongest mage setting. The pitch is that the game takes place in Taxila, a wealthy and prosperous city in Punjab that was handed over to Alexander. With this many western, Greek Kindred moce into the city. The native Indian vampires welcome their western cousins with a sense of trepidation.
I will entertain a Greek coterie, an Indian coterie or a mixed game.
It will be an intrigue heavy game as the balance of power shifts between various factions and cultures in play, playing along side history.
And with these changes, doom hangs over Tixla, and some fear the coming of shadowed wings.. But surely, those are just Greek legends?

Any interest in this set-up? I am open to suggestions. If the idea gets good reception I will start up the game.

Oh, I'm very much interested here. I've always wanted to try out one of the Dark Eras.

Hmmmm.......  I admit that I'm also intrigued by this idea.  Would you be aiming the game at experienced vampires, fledglings or a bit of both?

Well, I tend to start off as more experienced Neonates. The idea is the younger members of either culture are more likely to integrate, and that is what I am aiming for. But, many of the Greek fledglings would be Embraced mid-campaing in Alexander's army or brought along. Ergo, I don't see complete starting character. I will default to extra XP given, to say the least.

As a play on the same idea, we can use the 1800's in India (thinking maybe Magaluru? Major port city) but instead with the British moving in and settling in the city. I will be hitting some of the same themes and story points, the major change is it will be the more standard Euripean clans, with the same Indian clans.

Oh, as a summary, I include a lot of house rules. The major ones are I combine Clans and Bloodlines into one, for Lineages. Every clan has 4 Disciplines and a Bloodline gift. Clan and Bloodline is just a social distinction. The other major one, is the sun does not kill Kindred. It weakens them, or incapacitates them if they are more monstrous. Just a fyi to anyone interested.
