Gamification

## Definition

Gamification (von engl. "*game*": "Spiel") ist die Übertragung von spieltypischen Elementen und Vorgängen in spielfremde Zusammenhänge. Alternative Begriffe im deutschsprachigen Raum sind "Gamifizierung" und "Spielifizierung". Ziele von Gamification sind die Steigerung der Motivation im Alltag und eine Verhaltensänderung bei den Nutzern.  *Gamification* wirdalso genutzt, um bereits existierendes - eine Website, eine Anwendung, eine online Community - um Spielemechaniken zu erweitern, um Beteiligung, Engagement und Loyalität zu fördern . Ziel ist es den Spieltrieb des Menschen zu nutzen, um die Produktivität zu steigern und ihn somit an das Produkt zu binden.

### **Spieltypischen Elemente**

* Beschreibungen (Ziele, Beteiligte, Regeln, Möglichkeiten)
* Punkte/Level
* Preise/Achievements oder Belohnungen
* Fortschritts-/Statusanzeigen
* Rückmeldungen
* Gruppenarbeiten
* Ranglisten

### **Spieltypische Vorgängen**

Spieltypische Vorgängen, welche bei der Gamification adaptiert werden, sind etwa die Bewältigung von Aufgaben (individuell oder kollaborativ).

## Anwendung

Seinen Ursprung findet die Gamification in der Unterhaltungsbranche und im Feld der Werbung. Vorrangiges Ziel hierbei war die Bindung der Kunden an das entsprechende Unternehmen. Inzwischen jedoch hat dieses Vorgehen in zahlreichen Branchen Fuß fassen können.

## Kritik und Ausblick

Der Erfolg von Gamification ist stark von der Haltung der Anwenderinnen und Anwender und ihrer Affinität zu Spielen abhängig. Zudem ist es wichtig, dass die Elemente und Prozesse professionell, wirksam und stimmig umgesetzt sind. Fraglich ist, ob Gamification zu einer Gewöhnung an das Spielerische führt und die Motivation in traditionellen Bereichen weiter senkt.

Invictus of Southampton

Not much is known about the Invictus of Southampton at the moment, save that they were headed by Claudius' childer, Lodovicus, and were in control of the city before 1874. In that year, they were exterminated alongside the rest of their princedom by the King in Gold and forced into an eternal spectral play. These ghosts were then later taken to the King in Gold's Underworld realm of Carcosa. The fief was presumably latter resettled by the Prima Invicta, or has potentially fallen to other covenants.
Tribe Unmourned

A vampire sect and their mortal followers. First active during pre-Columbian times. Forced out of their original homes by supernatural threats, the Tribe Unmourned settled in what is today Wyoming. Under the guidance of their vampiric masters, the Tribe built a small underground city to house their civilization.

Over the centuries, the vampires have begun succumbing to decadence and ever-greater displays of depravity. Attracted by the bloodshed, a Maeltinet of Thurifuge settled in the forest above, creating the Wound known as Whispering Wood. The vampires soon came to worship the powerful spirit.

However, this was an ill-advised move. The Maeltinet stroked the embers of violence in the vampires' heart, leading them to massacres and slaughters that the Tribe's human population could not sustain. In the end, the vampires turned on each other, and only a scant few survived in torpor. Buried seemingly forever in their underground adobe.

The Tribe Unmourned would become once again active in the modern era. After the founding of Edwardtown, the Bale Hounds summoned by the Maeltinet awoke the remaining vampires, who restarted their predations, this time on the denizens of Edwardtown.

Windham Masquerade

The Windham Masquerade was a social event covertly organized by the Serpent Brotherhood, and hosted by Dr. Friedrich Magnussen in his Windham Estate in 1873.

The masquerade was attended by most English members of the Serpent Brotherhood, as well as the Krewe and two squires sent by Arthur Pendleton.Thanks to the meddling of Jack Taylor and the unleashing of Ybalashi, the guests and staff were dragged into Ybalashi's pocket realm, and the mansion was laid to waste. Besides the Krewe and Magnussen, none were known to have escaped the fae's clutches.

This event is considered chiefly responsible for the apparent collapse of the Serpent Brotherhood in the months to follow.

Stheno

Stheno was a Nosferatu vampire of the Galloi bloodline, leading a small cult of Cybele in Portsmouth during the late 19th Century. Though nominally the head of the local Circle of the Crone, Stheno's faction was miniscule and subservient to the Invictus of Portsmouth.

Though their history is mostly shrouded in mystery, Stheno was originally a young Greek slave who served as a catamite for the still mortal Claudius during the later Roman Empire. The boy was eventually sold to the cult of Magna Mater (Cybele), where he eventually ascended to the ranks of the priesthood after castration. Independently of each other, both ended up as vampires, with Claudius being embraced into the Macellarius bloodline, while Stheno found a place among the vampiric worshippers of Magna Mater, the Galloi. Since then, Stheno has been changing sex and gender as some would change clothes, thanks to the unique blood rites their bloodline possessed.

At some point in their common history, Stheno and Claudius reunited, with Claudius allowing Stheno to operate their Cybele cult in Portsmouth. Stheno also sired Maria at some point, intending for her to follow in their footsteps as a Galloi. However, Maria refused this design and went on to serve Claudius instead, tying Stheno's hands. When the Krewe came into contact with the vampires of Portsmouth in 1873-1874, Stheno became an unlikely friend to them, with them even serving as a mentor figure for Abigail in the healing arts.

However, this relationship would come to end when the news of the Krewe's "betrayal" reached Prince Claudius. Learning of their approaching doom through divination, Stheno enacted their final contigency plan. They embraced Aquila, their most loyal ghoul, into the Galloi bloodline and sent her away alongside the other ghouls and servants. Stheno then faced the Krewe in personal combat, and their soul was shortly afterwards collected by William Astley for the King in Gold in 1874.
Serpent Brotherhood

A secret society of murderers, serial killers and slashers that existed for centuries in the United Kingdom and Northern Europe. The primary leader of the group for most of its existence was Dr. Friedrich Magnussen, an immortal Klinkerash warlock.

In its official doctrine, the Serpent Brotherhood worshipped the monster Jörmungandr, and desired to satiate the world-serpent's hunger through human sacrifices. Murder was considered a holy act by them. Their ranks covered all strata of society. From commoners to nobles, from workers to merchants. While their numbers were never high, the Brotherhood was influential due to their widespread presence.

In truth, the Serpent Brotherhood was a front for multiple organizations. In its original form, the Serpent Brotherhood's creation was dictated by the Race History of Lemuria, a vast conspiracy of Geniuses seeking world domination, as a way to channel the murderous impulses of mortals to 'constructive' ends by winnowing the weak and eliminating the superfluous elements of society. The worship of the World-Serpent was fabricated by Lemuria, and tied to their own serpentine iconography. As the final means of ensuring the society's success, Lemuria placed one of their agents, Dr. Friedrich Magnussen, as the high priest of the cult.

However, Magnussen was never truly working for Lemuria, and was in truth the leader of the Cabal of Abaddon, an infernalist cult dedicated to bringing forth the apocalypse by opening the way for their master. Due to the murderous ethos of the Serpent Brotherhood, subverting them for the Cabal's plans was quite simple, and from then on, they served as an unknowing proxy for the infernalists, while Magnussen maintained a guise of loyalty towards Lemuria.

The society met its likely end in 1873, during the Windham Masquerade, when most of the cult's English membership was gathered at the Windham Estate and were taken by Ybalashi into her realm, never to be seen again. It is unknown whether the remaining members managed to rebuild their organization.

**Notable Members**:

Dr. Friedrich Magnussen

Jack Taylor

Victor Lockhart
Valentino Cavalcanti

A Venetian aristocrat born in the early 18th Century, Valentino spent most of his youth as an infamous rake, wasting his family's wealth on carnal pursuits. This libertine outlook, and his declining fortunes, led him to occult practices, and eventually, infernalism. It wouldn't take long for the jaded noble to be seduced by a Demon of Lust and made its host. However, unknown to Valentino at the time, his demon was a servant of Abaddon.

Bolstered by his newfound powers, Cavalcanti set to prey on the wealthy families of Venice, charming, seducing and securing marriages, leaving a trail of tragically dead wives. His ambitions were eventually uncovered by local authorities, leading to Cavalcanti fleeing Venice in favour of Nice by the time he was fifty, where he encountered Madrigal and after a tempestuous and rather violent affair, was introduced to the rest of the Cabal.

Cavalcanti lent his seductive edge to the cause, and spent the ensuing decades pursuing his own fantasies and assisting the Cabal. His most noteworthy act that is currently known is brokering the sale of the Windham Estate to Olivia Smith, in exchange of the notes of Professor Maxwell.

After Hector Pendleton's usurpation of the Cabal later that year, Cavalcanti was among those who sought to flee Portsmouth. However, when his taint by the Abyss became obvious, he was left to die by his comrades in an alley, where he encountered the Krewe during the Portsmouth Incident of 1874. After a brief exchange of words, Cavalcanti was transformed into an obscene-wax creature by the Abyss, and was put down for good.
Dr. Feelgood

Dr. Rupert Feelgood was a psychiatrist who worked in the West Wing of the Bishopgate Asylum in 1874.

Dr. Feelgood graduated from one of the finest medical schools of England, and soon became an early pioneer of experimental neurosurgery, and especially psychosurgery. While many of his patients have died, he was still hailed as a medical visionary by England's medical community.

His surgical prowess was also the reason he came into the attention of Professor Maxwell, who hired Dr. Feelgood in 1871, with the intent of making use of his surgical talents for his own experiments. However, because of the professor's disappearance in the Windham Masquerade of 1873, this ultimately never happened.

Dr. Feelgood continued working under Dr. Zakharov's supervision, and once the crisis set in, in 1874, he desperately attempted to hold onto a semblance of order in the asylum, refusing to flee like many of the staff. Ultimately, he was overtaken by the madness of the machine, murdering his last remaining orderly. He then set out to perform experimental surgery on any he encountered.

Fortunately, the Krewe arrived that night to the West Wing and took out the crazed doctor, with help from Lady Jane.
Mother Zeal

Mother Zeal was the ghost of Abigail O'Malley's mother, representing an idealized and saintly version of herself. Mother Zeal haunted the Velvet Lady in 1873, after her death earlier on the ship, and it was there that her madness attracted the larvae of a spiritual parasite which attached itself to her in the form of a "perfect" infant. After a confrontation between Abigail and her mother, the larvae pupated and devoured the ghost, becoming False Abigail, a malevolent love-spirit.

Edwardtown

A small town in rural Wyoming, founded by Colette Lee and her 'father', Edward Lee. Originally planned to be a safe commune for their cult, the presence of the nearby Whispering Wood have led to constant skirmishes with the various denizens of the forest. Furthermore, the corrupting presence of the Maeltinet have led to outbreaks of violent insanity and other madness among the settlers.

Despite all this, the residents are committed to preserving the illusion of normalcy and defend the cult against outside threats.
Invictus of Portsmouth

As part of the Prima Invicta, the Invictus of Portsmouth was the dominant vampire group of Portsmouth in the 19th Century. They were closely allied with the Invictus of Southampton. Headed by Prince Claudius for most of its existence, the covenant suffered a grievous blow in 1874, when their Sin-Eater allies, the Krewe, ended Silvana Fiorella, Prince Claudius and their Crone ally, Stheno. In the subsequent aftermath (and during the Krewe's temporary disappearance into the Underworld), a brief civil war was fought by Alexander Green and Maria, which was won by the latter's pro-Krewe faction, forcing Green and his few remaining loyalists into exile and hiding. Maria's leadership was shortly after recognized by the Prima Invicta King of England.

Notable Members:

Claudius (Prince)

Alexander Green (Herald)

Melchior Herzfeld (Sheriff)

Maria (Archon)

Silvana Fiorella (Harpy)
Wisteria

**Name**: Wisteria Pendleton

**Age**: Unknown (likely born in early 20th century)

**Watchtower**: Thyrsus

**Background**

Great-Granddaughter of Arthur Pendleton, and granddaughter of Hector Pendleton. After both witch hunters were disgraced in the Portsmouth Incident of 1874, Wisteria's grandmother had to emigrate to the United States, where she gave birth to Wisteria's father, James Pendleton, who then married a local woman. Wisteria was the poisoned fruit of that union.

Showing a rather frivolous disregard for the norms of society, her parents disowned her and she was forced to live as a homeless destitute. This was when she Awakened, and became a Mage.

After spending decades honing her craft, she decided to settle in the Whispering Wood. Thanks to her mastery of Time magics, her aging greatly slowed, and with her skills in the Arcanum of Spirit, she found a niche as a neutral party, tolerated by the Maeltinet and its Bale Hounds. She even decided to strike up a sexual relationship with one of the Bale Hounds, Bloodsong. She was confronted in her hut by Quint and Charlie, and decided that she would let them decide their own fate: leave the forest, join the Maeltinet and become Bale Beasts, or destroy the Maeltinet. For Wisteria, all possibilities were advantageous from a certain perspective.
Velvet Lady

Ship captained by William Astley, and later on, by Jack Taylor after his mutiny (see their pages for more details).

After the ship drifted back to Portsmouth in 1873, it fell under police custody for the duration of the investigation, with official matters being handled by Detective Fairhollow.

Unknown to the authorities, the ship became home to a large number of tormented ghosts as a result of Jack Taylor's depravities, including Mother Zeal. The Krewe liberated a good number of them.

The ship was later returned to their rightful owners, but due to his interests occupying him, William did not return to captaincy for the time being.
Father Albert

Father Albert Wood was an English priest, born in the late 17th Century to a middle-class family. Young Albert was good at memorizing verses and had a pleasant voice, so he was marked out for a career in the Anglican priesthood.

Despite his priestly career, Albert was a highly vivacious personality, indulging in all the pleasures offered by the seedy institutions of his era, but he especially preferred overindulging on food and drink. The act that finally damned his soul occurred when at one night, he returned home drunken after an evening of debauchery, much to the consternation of his wife. Albert, as usual, ignored her and moved to ransack the kitchen. When her wife attempted to stop him, Albert stuck the woman with a Bible on the head, killing her.

After devouring the few food items still in his home, the drunk Albert felt an inexplicable desire to taste his wife. He did so, consuming a good portion of the dead woman then-and-there. This act of darkness attracted a demon of gluttony, in service to Abaddon, who immediately took residence in the priest's stomach, corrupting and possessing him.

After a few years of rampaging, Albert was found by Dr. Friedrich Magnussen, who inducted the priest into his Cabal. Ever since then, Albert served as a devout agent of Abaddon.

Father Albert arrived to Portsmouth in 1874, where the Cabal gathered to summon their infernal master. However, the Cabal's plans were distorted by an Abyssal incursion that took over their operations, corrupting Albert in the process. At the final confrontation between the Cabal and the Krewe, Albert killed himself to empower the Abyssal-tainted Hector Pendleton.

**Пирожок** — это четверостишие, написанное четырёхстопным ямбом, строчными буквами, без знаков препинания и без рифм.Шаблон:Источник

## Общая информация

Количество калорий, получаемое от прочтения стиха-пирожка, равно количеству калорий, получаемому от съедения пирожка из тонкослойного теста с начинкой из капусты, без яйца, с минимальным количеством масла, весом 50 грамм.

Традиция сочинения пирожков уходит своими корнями в глубокую древность. Вероятно, стихи-пирожки были изобретены в какой-то неурожайный год с целью получения калорий из альтернативных источников питания.

Самое популярное имя для героев пирожков – это Олег. Понятно, что оно легко вписывается в четырёхстопный ямб.

олег с денисом идеальны

чтоб быть начинкой пирожков

а владислав и александр

возиться с ними целый час

Но почему именно Олег – это загадка, ведь такие имена, как Борис, Илья, Денис, Максим, Роман, вписываются не хуже. Возможно, что традиция частого упоминания Олега в пирожках пришла из самого первого пирожка, написанного Баяном (см. далее).

## Пирожки известных поэтов

### Пирожок Баяна

 Файл:Олег.jpg
Баян – древнерусский поэт и певец, воспевавший подвиги своих современников. Он сочинил первый пирожок, дошедший до наших дней, о деяниях князя Олега.

олег упитанный детина

толпу хазаров победил

дрожат от страха печенеги

америкосы трепещат

Историки были удивлены упоминанием в этом пирожке америкосов. Они провели исследование древних летописей и выяснили, что племя америкосов несколько столетий назад обитало в степях неподалеку от хазаров и печенегов. Они занимались земледелием – выращивали попкорн, чипсы и картошку фри. А также скотоводством – разводили коров, дающих кока-колу. К современным американцам не имеют никакого отношения.

Windham Estate

A Regency-era mansion, built not far from Portsmouth. Owned by the secretive Dr. Friedrich Magnussen until 1873, the estate served as a place of residence, and a center of the Serpent Brotherhood's blasphemous rites.

During the ill-fated masquerade party in 1873, the mansion was destroyed by Ybalashi, leaving only a crumbling ruin. In 1874, Olivia Smith, lawyer and Sin-Eater, purchased the Windham Estate from Valentino Cavalcanti, who acted under unknown orders, in exchange for the notes and blueprints of Professor Maxwell, recovered from Bishopgate Asylum.

In the following months, Olivia began the reconstruction of the mansion with the intent of turning it into a school for talented young girls. Though Olivia disappeared from Portsmouth civil society shortly afterwards, Abigail O'Malley took up her efforts and completed the Smith School for Young Ladies, which finally opened its gates in 1885.

The Marquis of Puerile Pleasures

The Marquis of Puerile Pleasures was a ghost resident of Carcosa. Originally a French nobleman of the 18th Century with a strong interest in the occult, the marquis dabbled in the necromantic arts and debauchery, even striking up a friendship with the infamous Marquis de Sade. However, his actions eventually resulted in a scandal that cost him most of his fortune, and the marquis ended up contacting the King in Gold in an effort to recoup his lost wealth. After years of serving the malevolent Underworld ruler's whims and perverting his family estates to a ruined and foreboding place, the marquis' soul was finally claimed by the King in Gold.

Nevertheless, the marquis found himself a good niche in Carcosa. A witty socialite, he became a high-ranked courtier in the spires of the alien city, known for his parties. In 1874, he briefly encountered the Krewe who barged into one of his fetes. However, this meeting would be cut short when the Krewe broke the Old Laws, causing the locals to flee.
Professor Maxwell

**Catalyst**: Grimm

**Barahim**: proto-Mechanist

Professor Maxwell was the director of Bishopgate Asylum, until 1873. A masterful psychosurgeon, Maxwell was also a Lemurian Genius of the proto-Mechanist branch. Obsessed with the concept that the natural state of humanity is violence, and that its propensity for murder is an unavoidable law of nature, Maxwell performed nightmarish experiments on his patients in an effort to induce violent psychosis.

These beliefs drew him close to Dr. Friedrich Magnussen, a supposed Lemurian agent, who had very similar views of the world to him. Magnussen convinced Maxwell that society must be first destroyed, as it is of course inevitable due to the laws of human nature, before this natural state can be recaptured. Magnussen also provided Professor Maxwell with the brain of a dead Leviathan, the Promised Child, a vessel of great psychic power. After receiving such a wondrous gift, Maxwell began drifting away from Lemuria, in favor of a closer partnership with Magnussen. He also reached the nadir of his Obligation, becoming an Illuminated.

Using the brain, Maxwell began work on his greatest project: Professor Maxwell's Mesmeric Murder Amplificator. A clockwork construct in the depths of his basement laboratory, the Wonder was supposed to amplify the violent impulses of people in a large area, thus causing societal breakdown. As it was revealed after the Professor's death, the machine's effects were ultimately more unpredictable than expected.

Alas, while Maxwell mostly completed his Wonder, he became trapped in Ybalashi's realm alongside the other guests of the Windham Masquerade at Windham Estate in 1873. His fate afterwards is unknown.
Thousand Hells

A series of liminal realms between the Spirit World and the Underworld. Early in mankind's history, a number of powerful demons from the Inferno were forced into exile, and they proceeded to cannibalize and colonize certain Dead Dominions of the Underworld for themselves, separating and isolating them from their original place in the universe. The intermingling of life energy from the Spirit World and death energy from the Underworld resulted in a new type of (tainted) energy and the transformation of the exiled demons. These lands then became known as the Thousand Hells, a large number of interconnected pocket realms.

Their new abilities also allowed the demons to draw power from the souls of dead humans, and in fact, create more of their kind from them. To make use of this, the ancient demons anchored their realms to the first big concentrations of mortals, namely Mesopotamia, India and East Asia. This allowed them to leech some of the mortals who died in these areas, ordinarily destined for the Underworld, to their own realms. In particular, ghosts whose lives were dominated by their vices, or who felt deep guilt or regret about their lives, were the most likely to be drawn into the Thousand Hells.

The Mesopotamian realms were mysteriously destroyed early on, but the ones in India and East Asia endured ever since. These hells have evolved significantly since their conception, as the influx of mortal souls influenced them, the hells affected by their myths and folklore, the demons created from them reflecting these. Some enterprising former mortals (such as a certain medieval Japanese Genius, known as Mikaboshi) have even managed to elevate themselves to rulership (rulers of the Ten Thousand Hells are commonly termed Yama Kings). By the time of the 20th and 21st Century, the Yama Kings and their unique brand of corruptive energy were playing pivotal roles in Asia.

The Thousand Hells also serve as the origin point of the Wan Kuei, unique revenants with certain vampiric characteristics, altered by the Hells' peculiar demonic essence.
Maria

Maria was the Nosferatu Archon of the Invictus of Portsmouth in the late 19th Century, eventually ascending to the rank of Prince in 1874. Maria was the childe of Stheno, but unlike her sire, she chose to reject her Galloi bloodline and the Circle of Crone, instead aligning with Prince Claudius and becoming his personal assassin. Maria's particular talents lied in a very advanced mastery of Obfuscate, allowing her to easily disguise herself or create complex environmental illusions.

Despite her murderous role, Maria was both an affable and careerist vampire, hitting off almost immediately with the Krewe, sensing an opportunity to advance her plans for permanently liberating herself from both her sire and Claudius; and allied with them. After the Krewe murdered her sire and several members of the Invictus, including the Prince himself, in 1874, Maria made a move to install herself as the new ruler of the Portsmouth Princedom. While the Krewe spent three months on an Underworld journey, Maria successfully defeated her rival for power, Alexander Green. With Green forced to leave the town, Maria became the new leader of the Invictus and the Prince. Ever the pragmatist, Maria remained on friendly terms with the Krewe, eagerly ceding some of the Invictus' old criminal holdings to Hagen Richter in exchange for peace.
Dennis Morrow

Dennis Morrow was a young rent-boy working in Portsmouth in 1873. He was picked up by the recently Dr. Friedrich Magnussen as a tour guide for the city. Dennis performed this task with relative distinction, but was murdered when the Klinkerash doctor assaulted him mid-transit in a carriage. The doctor ate his heart before his own eyes, before feasting on the young man's remains. The man's ghost was then chased away. The Krewe witnessed the ghost flying away and returning to his mortal home and took interest. They found Dennis in his old flat, where he related to them the circumstances of his demise, providing the Krewe with important clues about the doctor's activities. Dennis was later visited by Abigail a few times, and he eventually found release from his torment after the first death of Magnussen.
"Magnussen"

John Smith (true name unknown) was one of the many inmates housed in Bishopgate Asylum. He was found catatonic in Portsmouth in 1872, and was subsequently interred into the asylum. His name, past history and family background was never verified, as nobody came to claim him, and the inmate never talked. Unbeknownst to the staff, Smith was a latent psychic and his catatonic state was brought on by his inability to handle his growing telepathic powers. However, due to a string of inexplicable violence by the staff attending the patient, Smith was transferred to the underground Criminally Insane Ward. In truth, Professor Maxwell sought to unravel the mystery behind the inmate, but he never managed to, due to the 1873 events at the Windham Estate.

After Professor Maxwell's device was activated, John Smith was affected by it in an unique manner as a result of his telepathic talents. His empty mind was filled by the Promised Child's memories of Magnussen, and he convinced himself that he was that man, based on the Child's limited understanding of who Magnussen was.

Buoyed by his psychic powers, "Magnussen" proclaimed himself the prophet of the serpent (in reference to the Serpent Brotherhood) and after the inmates broke out, founded an impromptu cult among them, based on the practice of human sacrifice through the removal of brains. The cult soon took over the Criminally Insane Ward, but their reign was extremely short-lived. In less than a day, the Krewe arrived and exterminated "Magnussen" and his demented followers in the process of investigating the asylum.
Dr. Zakharov

**Catalyst**: Neid

**Barahim**: Oracle

Dr. Fyodor Zakharov was a Russian-born psychiatrist and medical professional in the 19th Century, who eventually became a Genius and joined Lemuria. He found employment with his fellow Lemurian Genius, Professor Maxwell, in the Bishopgate Asylum, where he worked as vice-director.

Zakharov was dissatisfied with his collegaue, and was given to paranoid delusions about how Maxwell was secretly colluding with the conspiracy's proxy cult leader, Dr. Friedrich Magnussen, behind the backs of their Lemurian superiors. However, he never managed to gain enough courage or evidence to inform Lemuria about this.

When Maxwell disappeared in 1873, Zakharov stepped up and became the acting director of the asylum. Over the remaining months of 1873, Zakharov attempted to find Maxwell's hidden laboratory and recover his final work, but these efforts proved fruitless. When the aforementioned final work was activated in 1874, Zakharov sought to cover up the mounting problems, including the rising of dead bodes and growing instability of both patients and staff. In the end, his half-insane psyche could not further handle the stress, and his mind collapsed. It was ultimately Jack White  who liberated the good doctor from his half-cataconic, half-delirous state, by executing him.
Valerie de Langan

Marchioness Valerie de Langan was a fantastically wealthy French noblewoman, who financed many of the Cabal's plans and activities before their apparent dissolution.

A dutiful if somewhat materialistic wife in medieval France, de Langan experienced much horror and trauma during the Jacquerie rebellion, where her husband was brutally murdered by their peasants and she was humiliated and robbed of all their possessions and land. Cast out and wandering as a beggar-woman, de Langan eventually came to be possessed by a Demon of Greed, in service to Abaddon.

Through the gifts of the demon and her own guile, de Langan quickly rose to her former heights and beyond. At some unknown point of time, she joined the Cabal as well. Nevertheless, she remained a staunch materialist, with little faith in the group's infernal master, assisting Magnussen merely out of demonic obligations.

Her final scheme in the Cabal's service was the hiring of a large group of mercenaries that temporarily took over Portsmouth for a brief period in 1874, with rumours of a planned coup against the nascent French Third Republic or a march on London being deliberately spread. The objective of these rumours was to attract Lemuria's attention to Portsmouth, which was successful.

After the Abyss-tainted Hector Pendleton usurped control of the Cabal and their final plan, de Langan fled alongside Hans Altenburg and Valentino Cavalcanti. The former two quickly abandoned the latter in Portsmouth after his infection by the Abyss became clear. Her fate afterwards is currently unknown.
Claudius

Claudius Macellarius Vopiscus was the Prince of Portsmouth and a member in good standing of the Prima Invicta.

Born as Claudius Sulpicius Galba, Claudius was active as a mortal man during the Crisis of the Third Century. As a patrician living in the province of Britannia, he enjoyed a military career. Famed for his hedonism even in life, Claudius' favourite slave was the young Stheno. His good breeding and passion for sensuality eventually earned him the attention of Vopiscus Macellarius Encolpius, third of the four Childer sired by Encolpius Macellarius Antonius, the founder of the Macellari bloodline. After a brief period of testing, Vopiscus embraced Claudius, bringing him into the fold of the Ventrue clan and his peculiar bloodline.

Soon after, Claudius achieved some renown as a politician of the night, but ultimately fell into torpor during the 5th Century. He awoke to a much changed world in the 15th Century, but his appetite was unabated. Aided by his prodigious political acumen and prestigious pedigree, he managed to secure a place in the Prima Invicta for himself, eventually elevating himself to the rank of Prince in the area of Portsmouth. He sired a Childe, Lodovicus, who in time gained his own princedom in the neighbouring Southampton.

Claudius' reign was characterized by an excess of eccentricity and decadence. Reuniting with his former slave, Stheno, Claudius set out to create a world of personalized entertainment. This included the creation of an elaborately decorated labyrinth underneath his estate, a testament to his mania. Yet, this flamboyance was ultimately to be his doom, as he chose to ally with the Krewe in the period of 1873-1874. Assailed by his own fragile mind and the lies of Alexander Green, Claudius chose to wage battle against his apparently traitorous allies. Yet, when the Krewe finally stormed his sanctum, Olivia Smith managed to convince the moribund and jaded monarch to give up his life willingly, promising him fresh entertainment in Carcosa. Moved by such sweet words, Claudius ended himself, offering his soul to William Astley, who then delivered it to the King in Gold.

In the aftermath of his demise, a brief civil war erupted between Maria and Green, one which the former ultimately won, settling for peace between Sin-Eaters and vampires.
Inferno

The Inferno is a mysterious realm deep within the spirit world, and mostly inaccessible to mortals. It is inhabited by particularly vile and malevolent vice-spirits that are typically called demons. Though travel to and from the Inferno is no easy task, demons can be summoned and made pacts with or be invoked by the sins of a mortal (in which case the mortal will be possessed). One of the most famous and important archdemons is Abaddon, the Prince of Destruction.

Exiled demons of the Inferno were the originators of the Thousand Hells.
James Pendleton

James Pendleton was the son of Hector Pendleton, and the grandson of Arthur Pendleton. Born in Boston very shortly after his mother's impromptu departure from England in 1874, James grew up as an American, never knowing his real father or his family's true legacy.

However, it is without a doubt that the Pendleton family's predilection for hunting supernatural threats was present in him as well, as he became an independent Hunter himself in 1898, after a traumatic encounter with an English vampire.

James had a horrid relationship with his daughter, Wisteria, due to her pagan, occult interests and loose lifestyle, and ended up disowning her.
Madrigal

Madrigal was an ancient Daeva vampire of French extraction. Embraced during the Middle Ages, she quickly took up with the Belial's Brood, becoming a member of the Pandemonium. As a result of her interest in the demonic, she became enamoured with the diabolist Magnussen and the two eventually eloped as an immortal couple. Madrigal henceforth became the second most important member of Magnussen's Cabal.

Madrigal was notably fanatic in her devotion towards Abaddon, taking extreme delight in committing acts of destruction and vandalism wherever she went. As with many members of the Pandemonium, she had a particular fondness for war-torn areas full of suffering. Notably, she spent the Thirty Years War in the Holy Roman Empire, and also indulged in the colonial lands later on. During this time, she also visited Portsmouth, where she encountered the local prince, Claudius, and enraged the obese vampire enough for her to be given a "kill on sight" status. Lemuria also became aware of her and her affiliation with Magnussen, though her infernal loyalties remained unknown to them.

Madrigal ultimately returned to Portsmouh as part of the Cabal's plan to bring forth Abaddon. She arrived on the ship Demeter with Józef and two of her handmaidens, and was assisted by the Krewe (still operating under the illusion that Magnussen was Arthur Pendleton) with getting to safety, who thwarted both the local vampires and Lemurian assassins after her.

Madrigal then set to work in the ensuing weeks on creating Larvae (feral, zombie-like lesser vampires) for the Cabal's plans. She amassed a sizeable force of them, but she would not see them in action at the end. After Hector Pendleton's arrival, Madrigal consented to being taken into the Professor Maxwell machine replica. Hector released her "children" shortly afterwards, sparking the Portsmouth Incident.

Madrigal would ultimately be destroyed by the Krewe during the Incident.
Wertigkeit in Spielen

## Virtuelle Güter

> *"Virtuelle Güter sind Güter, die nur in der digitalen Welt existieren."* - Gründerszene Lexikon

>

Von virtuellen Gütern wird vornehmlich dann gesprochen, wenn reales Geld für den Kauf für virtuelle Gegenstände verwendet wird. Ausgeschlossen sind mit dieser Erklärung spielinterne Gegenstände, welche ausschließlich beim Spielen an sich erworben werden können.

### **Virtuelle Güter und Microtransaktionen**

> *"Da man mit diesen Gütern das Spielerlebnis des Spielers verbessert oder auch den Avatar des Spielers individualisieren werden kann, sind virtuelle Güter eine gern genutzte Art der Monetarisierung in Browserspielen oder Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Games (MMORPG)."*- Gründerszene Lexikon
>
>

Sogenannte "Microtransaktionen" bezeichnen finanzielle Transaktionen von einem sehr kleinen Betrag und werden häufig in "Free-to-Play" Spielen verwendet. Hierdurch werden ansonst kostenlose Spiele durch die Möglichkeit kleinere "In-App"-Käufe erweitert. Viele der kostenlosen Videospiele finanzieren sich durch solche Klein-Käufe und Werbung.

### **Pay-to Win**

Eine für Spieler gravierende Problematik ist die des "pay-to-win" Systems. Hierbei können Spieler von kompetitiven Online-Spielen Objekte erwerben, welche ihnen einen Vorteil im Spiel verschaffen. Daraus resultieren Mechanismen, bei denen der reichste Spieler gewinnt und nicht derjenige mit den besten Fähigkeiten.

### **Immobilien**

Als die Beratungsfirma für Häuserkauf und Hypotheken London & Country Mortgages Ltd bemerkte, dass monatlich mehr Leute die Suchmaschine Google fragten, wie man ein Haus in Skyrim kauft, anstatt dies für London, die UK, Frankreich oder auch Amerika zu tun, untersuchte die Firma die Immobilienwerte in acht verschiedenen Spielen, darunter:

* The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
* Fallout 4
* The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
* Grand Theft Auto Serie
* Die Sims 4
* Die Witcher-Reihe
* Stardew Valley
* Final Fantasy XIV

Melchior Herzfeld

Melchior Herzfeld served the Invictus of Portsmouth as Sheriff during the Victorian Era. A Mekhet of few emotions and great clarity, he preferred to stay out of courtly politics entirely. He built up a mild rapport with the Krewe, particularly Abigail, during their meetings in 1873-1874. Herzfeld was instrumental in uncovering the Cabal's plans and bases. He also managed to evade the princedom's later purge by the Krewe, and stayed out of the following civil war between Alexander Green and Maria. After Maria's victory, he continued to serve the new Prince with distinction.
Alexander Green

Alexander Green was a prominent member of the Invictus of Portsmouth in the 19th Century, serving as Prince Claudius' Herald. In 1873, the Daeva was among the first vampires to have met the Krewe, with Olivia Smith and him quickly hitting off. This eventually resulted in the two having a brief affair, though it was purely for political advantage.

After the Invictus of Southampton's disappearance in 1874, Claudius sent Alexander to investigate what happened to his childe and his court. Alexander encountered the King in Gold and William Astley, and in an effort to save his hide, sold out crucial information on his prince to the otherworldly entity. Green spent the following weeks with a low profile, only making a single appearance to inform Claudius about how the Krewe betrayed the Invictus, before properly emerging once more after Claudius met his demise by the Krewe's hands. Using the Krewe's apparent disappearance (in truth, they undertook a journey to the Underworld), he attempted to seize control of the princedom but was opposed by Maria, the Archon. By the time the Krewe returned from the Underworld, Green's forces were defeated with the man himself fleeing from Portsmouth to an unknown location.
Aquila

Aquila was a priestess of Cybele who served as a loyal ghoul of the vampire Stheno for many decades in Portsmouth. Aquila was a devoted servant, capable and charismatic. She received her final reward from her mistress in 1874, when she was Embraced into the Galloi bloodline by her domitor. Under Stheno's instructions, she took her mistress' remaining servants and wealth and moved out of Portsmouth, seeking better fortunes in America.
Charlie

**Name**: Charlotte "Charlie" Ward

**Breed**: Mimma Lenmua (bug)

**Accord**: Root Weaver

**Background**

Most of Charlotte's background is currently shrouded in mystery. Her strange appearance has caused the death of her parents by fire. A fellow Feral hunted by The Hunter, Charlie joined Quint on his journey. After striking a deal with the locals of Edwardtown, Wyoming, the pair entered the Whispering Wood in 2017.
Maeltinet of Thurifuge

A powerful and ancient spirit of Thurifuge, Maeljin of Violence. Drawn by the bloodthirsty practices of the Tribe Unmourned, the Maeltinet settled in the Whispering Wood, corrupting the place into a Wound and the vampires into its service ages ago.

However, as with all spirits, the Maeltinet was never capable of thinking beyond its sphere. It soon drove its vampiric followers into unsustainable violence against their herd, causing their small civilization to collapse. For ages, the Maeltinet continued brooding in the Whispering Wood, watching over its sleeping vampires.

That all changed when the Californian cult founded Edwardtown next to the forest in the 1970s. Sensing an opportunity, the Maeltinet called to itself a pack of Bale Hounds, to serve as instruments of his will. The Bale Hounds awoke the Tribe Unmourned and began harvesting the residents of Edwardtown. This has led to decades of skirmishes.

In 2017, the Maeltinet became aware of the presence of Quint and Charlie, and desired to make them its servants to further spread violence among the Changing Breeds.
Edward Lee

**Name**: Edward Lee

**Age**: 75 (30)

**Background**

Charismatic cult leader and ghoul from California, and the official face of the vampiric cult that settled Edwardtown (named in his honor) in Wyoming during the 1970s. Continued to lead his cult until 2017, where he and his guards were massacred by Bale Hounds at the edge of the Whispering Wood, while escorting Quint and Charlie.
