About the adventure

Decades have passed since the 'Night of Cleansing Flames', but Toronto still bears those scars. Even with the new prince and the welcoming to bloodlines of sorts, people still worry that the Old Prince of the Lancea et Sanctum started all this. Recently, something stirs. Welcome to Vampire: the Requiem, a game of politics, clinging to humanity, and a dive into crumbling horror. In this, you will place the kindred of Toronto, a coterie bound together for survival. A game where one's own skills are never enough to endure. So grab, prepare your herd, slate the beast, and prepare for the web of politics that will pull you in. I will see you at the table.

About me

Hello, I am Matthew Pauze, and I have been a passionate Game Master since 1993. Throughout my years in the tabletop RPG and LARP communities, I have had the opportunity to run and participate in various systems. Currently, I reside in Canada with my family and partner. In 2019, with the rise of Covid-19, I shifted my focus to online platforms such as Discord and Roll20. I aim to introduce and highlight some of the lesser-known gems in the TTRPG community rather than just relying on popular systems like Dungeons and Dragons. In addition to my experience as a Game Master, I also have a strong passion for RPG design. I love exploring new and innovative ways to bring stories to life and create unique and memorable gaming experiences for my players. I am particularly interested in horror settings, as I find something extraordinary about creating an atmosphere of suspense and fear around the table. Another aspect of my work that I take great pride in is my ability to tailor my storytelling style to the needs and preferences of my player troupe. I understand that every group is unique and that I must adapt my approach to ensure everyone has a great time as a group. Whether adjusting the pace, adding more humor, or focusing on a particular story aspect, I always strive to create the ideal experience for my player's troupe. Please note that I do not generally offer my services for children's events. If I cannot accommodate a client, I will help get them in contact with someone who can. Note: Nazis, racists, sexists, transphobes, homophobes, and other bigots are explicitly prohibited from playing, reading, watching, or enjoying my games. In fact, I'd rather you avoided my games altogether. If you have to ask whether this statement is about you, it is.

Character creation

Creating your character

Initial character creation and direction of season 1 will be handled in session zero. Any players joining later can grab a pre-generated character, or we can set up a mini-session zero to get a character ready for the campaign.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

This campaign will make use of Foundry and Discord. This means you will need to have a working mic and internet access. Neither Foundry nor Discord require any cost on the player's part.

What Matthew brings to the table

I will bring to the table years of Storytelling practice and an open mind for adventure to see where the players will take this story. I will also set up the virtual tabletop and sets, etc.
