I've figured out how to run a VTES campaign.... though all 
I've got so far is a rough outline.

Here's the plan:

1) We take the entire universe of vampires, and we split 
them up among the cities for which their are princes or 
archbishops. We do this in accordance with the Vampire RPG 
canon wherever possible - i.e. Jan Pieterzoon is likely 
going to be located in Amsterdam. 

2) Each non-titled vampire will be located in at least two 
cities. Weenies will exist in three or more cities, to 
simulate the larger population of young vampires.

3) We group the cities into "regions". Atlanta and Miami 
might be one region, Detroit and Chicago another, and New 
York/Boston a third.

4) Each game is played in a particular region, using decks 
created on paper using ONLY the vampires from that region. 
This represents the Methuselahs using those pawns in that 
particular region. A vampire from another region costs an 
additional pool for vampires sizes 1-5, two additional pool 
for sizes 6-8, and three additional pool for sizes 9-11. 
That means your inner circle member, unless you're in their 
home region, is going to cost you 14 pool. This also means 
that Contesting is going to be MUCH more likely.

5) Unique Items are also "located" in regions. They can be 
used in games set in other regions by paying an additional 
2 pool for the cost of the unique item. Certain items, 
such as the Anakara Citadel, are NEVER going to move. La 
Pere Chaise is always going to be in Western Europe, no 
matter how hard you try.

6) Certain unique locations will be considered locked down, 
though most will be available in any region. Every region 
has a Police Department, for instance.

7) If a Methuselah wins a game in a region, he or 
she "controls" that region until another Methuselah 
recaptures it. Control of a region carries with it some 
benefits:

(a) Bringing vampires, unique items, etc. "across" 
from a region you control costs 1 less pool.

(b) You may use unique locations that are in your 
region in any region. (The Palace of Versailles can be 
used by the person who controls Western Europe in any game)


The winner is the first Methuselah to control some 
arbitrary number of regions.
