Once ruled by a single Prince in St. Paul despite the persistent Anarch presence in Minneapolis, the Ivory Tower has lost its hold. The death of Prince Merrain in 2018 and the fall of the Powderhorn Caern in 2021 have sent both cities reeling as Camarilla, Anarch, Hunters, and even Lupines roam the streets, and everyone is hungry for a piece of the spoils. "Vampire: the Masquerade" is set in the World of Darkness, a modern-day gothic-punk world much like our own where werewolves, vampires, ghosts, and more are all real. The games focus on storytelling, character development, and personal, environmental, and political horror. In Vampire, you play the role of a Kindred, an immortal undead addicted to blood and roped into the secret and complicated nightlife of whichever city you woke up dead in this time. Launching off of canon established in Winter's Teeth and Crimson Thaw, "Twin Cities by Night" chronicles tell the ongoing story of St. Paul and Minneapolis, where Vampires, Werewolves, and Humans walk the streets with their own end goals and motives. While the Camarilla struggles to regain control and establish a new parliament, you find yourself with a surprising amount of freedom... and danger.

This is the third campaign I have participated in with Redmane as ST. Sessions with him always feel comfortable in the sense that you can be confident you have a voice and will be heard if something crosses a line, or makes you uncomfortable. He regularly checks in with players to make sure we're all doing fine after intense scenes, and has always minded our listed lines and veils. As multiple members of our current VtM campaign are either new players or newly returned (I myself have not played VtM in 3 years so I'm rusty), he's been answering a lot of questions from the party during the first leg of our campaign. I'm thankful he often both answers our questions himself and references the location in the book for us. With my ADHD I certainly appreciate the opportunity to be shown where the info is located in case I need to reference it again later. If you're looking to find a ST who fosters a sense of adventure & mystery in your journey, while also providing the opportunity for laughter and camaraderie OOC- Redmane is your man.

He's descriptive, gives ample attention to all players, and is great at this WoD RP!

I have roleplayed with Redmane for... years, starting in World of Warcraft and now moving here. Even if the rolls are a little over the top (role-playing in my opinion is better than rollplaying), it is not worth docking a star for. The story moves along at a good clip and most, if not all the players I am in game with are dedicated to the story. There is very little side-bars or OoC interruptions, and rules can be a bit dicey but we all can be hazy on the details.

Red is a master storyteller, every game I tuned in on left me sad it was over. He's very good at character interaction and scene work. improvisation has also been a noticed and appreciated thing that Red excels in. I can't sing his praises high enough as a storyteller.

Makes people feel comfortable and doesn't micromanage gameplay! Not a player's guide/handbook thumper, and leaves room for homebrew! Overall a great time to be had.

Red is a masterful Storyteller! He's been able to tie my character (new player to an existing starting a new chronicle) into the story brilliantly all the while building up the tension of the other storylines and my character's inevitable First Change. His music choices and visual scene-setting in Foundry are excellent as well!
Character creation
Creating your character
World of Darkness games allow players to create their own monsters. Below is all you need to know for character creation including playable options, character creation, joining play, and progression. ๐ [๐. ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐] Playable options vary by Chronicle and are listed in the Recruitment Info above. Characters may vary in breed, experience, and age as desired and may be grizzled veterans, new to the supernatural underworld, or yet to change. โข Characters must be 18 or older โข Starter XP and perks vary by Chronicle ๐ [๐. ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐] At Signup, players are granted Foundry access, given a personal character Discord thread for character help, and asked anonymously for any Lines and Veils. Session 0 includes character brainstorming, mechanics walkthroughs, story preferences, etc. Players joining after Session 0 are privately interviewed, given the same character help, and may choose to be introduced immediately or sit in on a session first. The following weeks will include private follow-up discussions on details for touchstones, strengths, weaknesses, and more. โข Character creation uses corebook guidelines โข 1 Loresheet per character โข More Advantage points may be bought by taking more Flaws โ๏ธ [๐. ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐] Characters are created during Session 0, and over the week leading up to Session 1. Sheets are finalized at the start of Session 1, but may still be tweaked in special cases. Backstories do not have to be 10-page essays, only what is crucial to know, and more may be added and fleshed out as characters are played. โข AI-generated backstories will not be used ๐ช [๐. ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐] XP gain is generous to allow character progression while playing in the campaign. Some allies, renown, contacts, items, talismans, etc may also be earned through roleplay. Loot useful items and powerful weapons from your foes, make use of your crafting skills to repair them, or use your resources, sticky fingers, or stunning good looks to get what you want. โข XP Spending uses corebook guidelines ๐ [๐. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐] "Red's World of Darkness" has become a breathing, growing world and timeline, and all games exist in the same universe. Most characters are interchangeable between games at will, and can continue into the next with ease. โข Choices have lasting impacts on the world ๐ [๐. ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐] Character death is handled on a player-by-player basis. By default, player characters are not killed in play. Players may privately plan their character's demise with the Storyteller, or note their character as killable in case of defeat. Will you live to fight another day, survive against all odds, or go out in a blaze of glory? โข Characters can be killed off to recycle all earned XP into new character creation. โข Characters can be retired to NPC status to donate half earned XP to new character creation.
"Twin Cities by Night: Middle Ground" will take place in the desolate, gritty, concrete jungle of World of Darkness MinneapolisโSaint Paul, particularly in the streets between the two cities. The events of Winter's Teeth have left a power vacuum the St. Paul Camerilla compete to fill, and the Anarchs of Minneapolis are a disorganized mess, leaving you to deal with the rising threat in the slums between the two. Playable Options ๐งVampire: all playable options from VtM V5 ๐งGhoul: possible ๐ค Mortal: possible Message the ST for more info, and see ST profile for more available games!

What Redmane (RAGE Games) brings to the table
Welcome to RAGE Games, home to Red's World of Darkness. Below is a brief description of Redmane's storytelling style for WoD games. ๐ [๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐] We reference WoD 5th Edition rulebooks, loresheets, supplements, and publications. We take selective inspiration from history, folklore, and 20th Edition. Minor headcanon is used to fill in blanks left by the book such as aging, genetics, and communication. NPCs and locations are a mix of both custom-built and canon appearances. All necessary information will be provided. ๐ฒ [๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐] We use Foundry VTT for immersion, maps, tokens, character sheets, XP tracking, and more. Discord is used for voice (video optional) and organization. Polls are occasionally used between sessions to check player interest in story progression paths. Dice are rolled through Foundry, and Discord as a backup or physical dice for personal decisions. We use a mix of battle maps and immersive backgrounds for scenes. ๐ญ [๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐] Each Chronicle takes an adaptive and multiple-possibility approach. Plot hooks and improv are used to strive for a living, breathing world of adventure, horror, consequence, and reward. Players will be presented with options, their choices recorded, and the outcomes may be positive or negative later. Some disasters can be stopped, others not. More aspects include moderate voice acting, descriptive horror, comedic relief, historical research, and guest stars. Stars and Wishes are used to tweak the campaign roadmap as needed. Choices and outcomes have lasting effects on NPCs, locations, and the world in future campaigns.

How Redmane (RAGE Games) creates a safe table
Tabletop Roleplay offers a customizable experience in the genre and world of your choice, and that means taking your interests and limits into account. Below are the safety tools and how we use them each session. โ๏ธ [๐๐๐ ๐๐๐] Upon signing up, each player receives access to a private character thread between them and Redmane. All Lines and Veils are anonymously added to a pinned post in the Chronicle's discord info channel. During play, players may use virtual safety cards to signal discomfort, text chat to communicate with players, and Discord for private messaging. A reminder of tools, lines, and veils is included at the start of each session. All play is recorded for the safety of cast and crew and accessible only to this Chronicle's current players. โ [๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐] Food, drink, etc are all permitted during sessions and players are encouraged to drink water and grab a snack. We take a 15-minute prep period before play to break the ice, chat, troubleshoot equipment, and prepare to get in-character. 10-minute breaks are taken at half-time. Debriefing after play includes check-ins and honorary callouts, and Redmane checks in on players individually after as needed. ๐ [๐๐๐๐๐๐๐] There will be blood. There will be gore. There will be physical, spiritual, and personal horror. World of Darkness games are horror games based in modern-day settings, with monsters and evil, and not for the faint of heart. Games may situationally describe - but not show - partial or tasteful nudity of characters. A full list of included themes can be found below.
