[IC] Chronicles of Darkness or Star Wars

I am looking to start one game to run, and I have two ideaa in the running. One is a CoD game, maybe multi-splat for play, maybe single. The other is a star wars game. I am thinkig SAGA but can be convinced for a homebrew star wars or other lisenced system. My Chronicles diverges heavily from both WoD and CoD and takes aspects of both.

Option 1: The Shrouded City
Family sticks together, and in this city, other monsters are the family that matters. It would be amiss to say it was peaceful, or that the fanily was happy; no, they schemed and undermined, killed, made love, and thrived together, as only can be done in the moder age. The kin governed themselves, werewolves in their packs and alphas, vampires with their clans, lineages and houses; the sorcerers sequestered themselves in hidden cults and occult councils, while the beasts play ambassador. The fae keep to their holds, making deala which always are repaid.
As all good things are wont to do, it is falling into shambles, the kin wars are on the horizon. The werewolves' great alpha was found in war-form, slain, on the eve of the bi-yearly Convocation. As a reault of hostility and tempers the Convocation was called off, and ancient rites ledt to lie fallow. Strange occurences rock the city, and supernatural gang war seems to be brewing.

Option 2: A Game of Darths
For centuries the Bainite Sith have ruled and manipulated from the shadows, gainig power to defeat the Jedi. For two centuries Darth Viscae has ruled as Sith Lord, his life extended by centuries through fell, Sith rituals and by stealing the life from othera. You are hia apprentice. You have plotted his downfall, and secretly train an apprentice of your own. You are not hia only, your predecessor died by Viscera's hand, and your lessons have halted. You and your appre tice must build up a powerbase, scheme and not die like the last apprentice did.

I'd be interested in the Star Wars concept. I'm unfamiliar with Sagas, but not opposed either.

I'm interested in the Chronicles Game. I only have easy access to Mage: The Awakening books currently, but if you want a mage player I am keenly interested.

I would throw my name into the hat for either games. As long as I can make a simple request...
Please allow the charcters to be build with some experience.
SWSE game have them around 5-8 with maybe a few extra feats/talents.
WoD game with around 25-35 freebie points.

I always like a game that allows for a totally customized character and it also allows the GM to have powerful enemies. We can deal with mooks a plenty as long as they don't out number us 50/1.

None the less, count me in.

The games I'm most personally familiar with are Promethean and Demon, and I'm a big fan of both, but I can readily explore the others. I'd love to be a part of a mixed Chronicles game. It might throw some of the individual lines' themes into some confusion, but I feel like having a chance to play them out in a city-of-monsters setting wouldn't be an awful tradeoff.

I particularly like the idea of a member of one supernatural community passing themselves off as a member of another. For some this is intuitive, for others it might seem stranger, and if that feels too gimmicky, I could back off of it for another idea. Still, the idea of playing an Extempore promethean with a humor of Vitae, or an Osiran related to a failed attempt to replicate a Mummy's resurrection, or even just a regular Promethean on the Argentus path studying non-humans by impersonation. Demons by default don't go for it, but they have Exploits that allow them to mimic the supernatural powers of other creatures and craft Twilit bodies.

Well, I got some interest in the CoD game. I may look to doing one set in the modern day with some new Embraces.
