Ad astra per aspera (To the stars through perserverance)

Welcome to the Camarilla Storyteller’s Guide. If you are looking for game rules, you’ll need to check out White Wolf’s MET books and the Camarilla’s rules supplements, because you won’t find them here. This document focuses totally on storytelling, including:

• Core concepts and principles of Camarilla storytelling theory
• Terms we commonly use in our shared chronicle
• Tips, ideas, and techniques to help you create and maintain your local chronicle
• Ways you can link with other chronicles–both in your area and around the world

You now have access to the collected experience and wisdom of hundreds of storytellers, both past and present.  This document represents what our storytellers have learned while building our global chronicle. Together, we tried new ideas, kept what worked, and continued innovating.

At the core of the Camarilla Storyteller’s Guide, there is a very simple message. We work best when we work as a team. This is the key to storytelling in the Camarilla’s Sanctioned Chronicle.

We invite you to explore the CSG. Flip through it, and read the sections that interest you. Then go apply what you’ve learned. If you need more information, come back and read more.  If you have a question that the CSG doesn’t answer, we suggest you contact your supervising storyteller.

This document is dedicated to every storyteller who has mentored another storyteller. To them, we say thank you.
