Sanguine Intrigues | A Toronto by Night Vampire Story
Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition | Campaign
About the adventure
God, vampires act like high-schoolers sometimes, don't they? Unfortunately, they're high-schoolers with decades, sometimes centuries, of experience, huge hoards of wealth, fingers in every mortal pie you could possibly name, and, oh yeah, they have vampire magic on top of all that. And guess what? You're one of them. But it's not all bad. You can play vampire politics with the best of them, whether it's at a soiree in an upscale lounge with the city's most elite vampires, or down dark alleys beating the bloody snot out of some rival gang of Leeches, or even controlling the mind of some unsuspecting elder's mortal thralls, you've got this. You've even got allies, your own coterie of like-minded vampires ready to take on the night with you. The question is, what will you *do* with all this power and skill?
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

How to prepare
Players will need a mic and a Discord account. It is recommended, but not required, that you read the rules of Vampire ahead of time. Important pages are noted in the Game Resources channel on the Discord server.
What I provide
The following resources are available on the Discord server: * Dice-Roller and Character bot * Blank copy of the Vampire character sheet * Ambient sound and music * Location visuals * Custom map of Toronto with plot-pertinent game locations pin-pointed I will also provide: * A full story that can be tailored to reflect the actions you and your fellow players take * A rich, immersive game world set in and inspired by the real-world City of Toronto
Gameplay details
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.

How will character creation work
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: Brujah, Gangrel, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Toreador, Tremere, and Ventrue. Banu Haqim, Lasombra, 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.
