New York by Night: Six Feet Under [LGBTQ+ & Beginner Friendly]
Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition | Campaign
About the adventure
There's danger lurking under these streets. The Nosferatu Clan, who once called the NYC sewers its home, has vanished without a trace. The handful who fled above ground have approached your Baron for help. You, a fresh-faced fledgling and your coterie, both looking to make a name for yourselves, have volunteered to take charge of the case. Investigate the disappearances, find the culprit, and claim the glory. Sounds easy, right? Maybe not. Keep your wits about you, and watch your backs. Be wary of the danger you know, and fear the danger you don’t. Make one wrong move in this city... and you'll end up six feet under.

Creativity
Ryan is an incredible and insightful storyteller who can keep up the flow and mood of a session. However, that does not mean Ryan lacks humour. He still weaves the story although he drops in a few quips here and there. As a storyteller, he is more than willing to help newbies to VTM, and as a newbie myself, he has been incredible for the time I've been with him on his games.
I happened to join a game right before the very first session (literally day before) and Ryan was very kind and helped walk me through character creation quickly and in a way that made sense but didn't leave me in the dirt trying to keep up. The world was quickly established in a very user friendly way (it takes place in NY, I'm not from anywhere near NY) and Ryan has no problem rolling through what the players come up with. All around excellent GM for those that are new!
Ryan is a great storyteller and amazing for new players. In just a session I was familiar on how to play VTM and I've been loving it. It's been a fun ride so far and I'm only 3 sessions in. Ryan keeps the plot interesting while allowing for player agency enough to do what we want while pushing the story forwards! I'm really looking forward to what's happening next! I would definitely recommend him for anyone who wants to play Vampire or any other game!
Ryan has been an absolute blast to play with, I was very new to role-playing and to vampire when I started and Ryan has fostered a group where I was welcome and invited right away, the game is good balance of intriguing plot and character driven sandbox, I've been very impressed with Ryan's reactivity and stellar improv skills, it seems like wizardry to me. All in all 10 out of 10 game and GM, I thoroughly enjoy every session.
Ryan was my storyteller for Vampire: The Masquerade, and he did a fantastic job! I really enjoyed his storytelling style. The general vibe was always very open, relaxed, and comfortable. He does a great job of making players feel at ease, which I loved. He also did some entertaining and consistent voices. Would highly recommend!

How to prepare
We will be using Discord for voice chat, and Roll20 for dice rolls and maps. Please make sure you have an account with both of these services. Please have a decent, working microphone/headset. Please come to session zero with an idea of the type of character you would like to play. Bringing character art is highly encouraged, but not necessary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you new to Start Playing?

What I provide
I will provide any pdfs of source books we may need. I also will provide loresheets related to a few of the game's important NPCs. I can also provide you with a character token or art if you need it. I also enjoy doing character voices and weaving player characters' backstories into the game.

How will character creation work
You will be playing as fledgling Anarch vampires, newly Embraced. I like a bit of flexibility with character creation, though, so we'll have a session zero (free of charge) in which we all create your characters together! All the clans in the game will be available to play. If you want to play your favorite bloodline from V20 or revised (Daughters of Cacophony, Nagaraja, Old Clan Tzimisce, etc.) we can certainly make that happen through the magic of homebrew, with the one exception of the Baali, because I don't really want to get into all the demon stuff in this chronicle.
