About the adventure

Vampire: the Masquerade - New England By Night is a custom Foundry VTT Chronicle. It runs on an HTTPS secured custom FoundryVTT media server hosted in NJ, USA. A trailer for the Chronicle can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cVhPaY8Nyc This story is limited to adults 18+ as, like many World of Horror stories it contains violence, horror, and other mature themes. It spans 5 Chapters that occur in December 2019, after the events of the video game Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong. With a combined 115 fully functional and explorable "levels" spanning 10 Boston neighborhoods, the possibilities for storytelling are endless - and extremely visual. The players are free to explore locales at their discretion, never once needing to ask "how far away is that door again?" - They simply walk up themselves and open it. "Scenes" are halfway between adventure game screen and visual novel. They give a more personal feel to important conversations with NPCs that are aided by switching the top down perspective to a first person one. Fully online, ready to play. No downloads. - all that's needed to play is a high speed internet connection + voice communication via Discord. Players must be free during a 7PM-10PM EDT Monday time slot. https://discord.gg/q5FC2KGhyU FAQ: What do I need to play? 1. High Speed(cable/fiber optic) internet connection 2.

All experience levels are welcome. I have an extensive knowledge of World of Darkness specific Vampire lore that I am happy to share with newcomers. I don't want the lore of the game to be a hurdle to interested players. Part of the fun of a Vampire chronicle is discovering the world together. How long will the Chronicle last? In my experience as a professional GM, it is difficult to gage this exactly. Sessions may be postposed or side stories may progress in unintended ways. We will aim for weekly sessions, and the overall Chronicle will last at least 15 total sessions - 3 for each chapter of the story. Do I have to play the whole Chronicle? Similar to other collaborative TTRPGs, it's certainly possible to play only a fraction of the total amount of sessions in the Chronicle. We would ideally figure out ways for characters to enter and exit the story or coterie in these instances to accommodate player availability. Can you help me create my Vampire Character? our first session of play will be "Session 0" - a time to work out any and all ways the player characters are involved in the story and what their character sheets look like. I am happy to help throughout this process.
