Detroit by Night [LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and Women-Inclusive}

Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition | Campaign

About the adventure

The Anarchs and the Camarilla of Detroit share an uneasy peace, but all is not well. Rogue factions within those sects wish to destroy that peace for their own ends. The remnants of the vanquished Sabbat prowl the dark, ruined parts of the city waiting for an opportunity to reclaim their city. Detroit is on the cusp of change, for better or worse. Can you help the city spearhead a revolution? Or will the city plunge into chaos, taking you with it? In this campaign, each player will create a neonate character, either Camarilla or Anarch. All clans are available for character creation, pending ST approval.

Recruiting notes

The players have chosen to ally with the Anarchs. This campaign is combat-light, but heavy on roleplay elements, so it's a good introduction to players seeking to learn the game mechanics without being overwhelmed. This campaign also eschews stereotypical depictions of the Anarchs as Molotov-wielding miscreants, in favor of a more nuanced portrayal. We lean into the "political horror" elements of Vampire by giving out Anarchs complex political positions and goals.

Additional details

How to prepare

Since this is an online game, players will need an internet connection, a Discord account, and Roll20 account. Players will also need a mic; webcams are encouraged but not required.

What I provide

I provide the core books, the VTT, visual references for SPCs and locations, maps, immersive backdrops, and excellent worldbuilding.

Gameplay details

I'm interested in running a game that explores the nuance of the Sabbat, rather than treating the sect as brainless monsters. Though there is combat, this is not intended to be a hack-n-slash campaign. Instead, it's a campaign about the dangers of ideological and political absolutism...with vampires. Players should expect combat every 2-3 sessions.
