About the adventure
If a list of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World existed, Niagara Falls would truly earn a place on it. The three falls: the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil collectively deposit 3160 tons of water into the Niagara River below every second. This remarkable display of nature is ripe for romance. More than 13 million people come from all over the world to marvel at the spectacular falls and partake of the many tourist attractions in the area. Many of these people come for romantic getaways, so much so that Niagara Falls has earned the moniker “The Engagement Capital of the World”. In addition, tourists take delight in the veritable carnival of entertainment that fills the streets of Niagara, from the luxurious casinos with their nightly entertainment, to Clifton Hill, a street brimming with haunted houses, amusement rides, and celebrity wax museums. Tourists go even further into the surrounding countryside, visiting historic smaller towns, a plethora of wineries, the famous Welland Canal, and Fort York.

About me
I have been playing and running roleplaying games for over 20 years. I started with LARP (Live Action Role Play) and moved into tabletop gaming within about a year or so. I love storytelling, roleplay and evoking emotional highs and lows within my games. My two main systems are Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition and Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition (though I started with 3rd Edition for both). If you like what you've read here, I hope to see you at one of my events soon!

Creating your character
Character creation will happen during Session 0. The players will make their own individual characters, as well as build a coterie and Relationship Map. The following clans will be permitted: Banu Haqim, Brujah, Gangrel, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Toreador, Tremere, and Ventrue. Lasombra, Ministry, Caitiff, and Thin-Blood are also options, but these are considered Hard-Mode clans and vampire types, since the local political climate is hostile to these four. Please note that I limit Discipline Amalgams to certain clans. Players begin with the Neonate build described on Page 137 in the core Vampire rulebook, except that you receive 30 Experience Points to start instead of the usual 15. If you're creating your character after the Chronicle's Session 0, I will have a one-on-one Session 0 with you to on-board you.

Safety
How Rob creates a safe table
Vampire: the Masquerade is a storytelling game game of personal evil and horror. You depict a vampire eking out an existence in a dark reflection of our modern world. As such, the game can get intense. With that said, My #1 Concern is Player Safety and Comfort. I work as hard as I can to ensure that everyone at the table feels okay with what they are experiencing. Accommodations can be made for many of the listed tags, including, but not limited to: * Use of safety tools such as X, N, and O, Lines and Veils, and Open Door. * Bans or limits on particular content as discussed in Session 0, on the Content Discussion Discord channel, or privately with me * Softening or avoiding graphic description of certain types of content, relegating these scenarios to dice rolls only if they must occur at all * The ability to deafen the chat while a description is happening * Excusing yourself from certain scenes with a summary of any story-important points given to you by me Please note that certain aspects of the game, such as Blood, Mind Control/Alteration and Death, are an intrinsic part of Vampire: the Masquerade that cannot easily be removed from the experience. If this is a concern, I would be more than happy to have you at a table for another gaming system.
