About me

Hi! Welcome, stranger and potential friend! I know your time is valuable, so I'll start with The Most Important Thing: I work hard to make my games as safe and inclusive as possible. I've had the experience of being The Only Girl at the Table. In a game featuring vampires and other supernatural creatures, I've been told that I can't play a warrior or a scholar because that's "not realistic." I've had the experience of playing in games where the only female NPCs were barmaids. I've also been queerbaited and/or played in games that only featured same sex relationships as fantasies for the rest of the players or as punchlines. It's my goal to make my games the EXACT OPPOSITE of those experiences by creating an environment where marginalized players can be themselves and see themselves in the games they play. My adventure in the wild world of professional GMing began with a misfortune. I was on the path to being a lifelong academic when I caught Covid during the first wave. I was seriously ill. I spent a great deal of time in bed and a great deal of time recovering. Those long, empty days gave me a lot of time to think about my major life decisions. Ultimately, it was this self-examination that led me here! Needless to say, my fun with TTRPGs began well before my foray into academia. I started playing Vampire the Masquerade when I was only 13 years old! I ran my first VtM game shortly after I became a player. In addition to VtM, I've been both player and storyteller for Werewolf, Changeling, Hunter, and Wraith- with a little D&D and Monster of the Week sprinkled in for good measure. I'm also a lifelong horror fan. When I'm not consuming horror via film, I like to read EC comics and bad horror/pulp novels! I've linked my IG and my Discord, so come hang out with me on the socials!

Character creation

Creating your character

Players will select a faction, choose a character concept, and a coterie concept during Session 0, with the assistance of the Storyteller. Players will create their characters using the Character Creation Guide before Session 1. The Storyteller will assist as needed. Players joining after Session 0 will create a suitable character with the aid of the Storyteller and the other players.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

This game takes place online, so players will need an internet connection, a Discord account, and a free Roll20 account. Players will also need a mic; webcams are strongly encouraged, but not required. I recommend familiarizing yourself with the Clans and sects from the core book before Session 0. Read through the Character Creation Guide on pp. 136-7 if possible. The more thorough your character concept, the more you'll get out of Session 0.

What Byrne Baby Byrne brings to the table

My games explore personal horror and the moral complexities that come with being a Kindred, so players looking to challenge their assumptions will feel right at home. I create bespoke cities for each game that I run, ensuring that each installment of my shared world is unique, and I roleplay SPCs to the fullest. In addition, I provide read-only copies of the source books and supplements to my players for the duration of the campaign.

Safety

How Byrne Baby Byrne creates a safe table

Lines and veils will be established during Session 0 and embedded safety tools will be explained. After Session 0, a handout with the lines and veils will be added to the VTT so that new players can review them before play. I also use a custom VtM consent checklist which is used to establish PvP guidelines and other boundaries.
