Born on the Bayou | V20 SANDBOX CHRONICLE

Creating your character

Characters will be created together during a free session 0. Please do not have your heart set on a specific character concept before session 0, as it will be important to build a cohesive coterie. A simple idea is all that is needed to begin building a character together, but players are free to do some research on their own to have a better understanding of the options available. All characters will begin the game as neonate vampires in the Camarilla. Allowable clans will be: Brujah Gangrel Malkavian Nosferatu Toreador Tremere Ventrue

How Sloan creates a safe table

😃BEGINNERS WELCOME😃 VtM is the crunchiest version of Vampire out there, but it's not terribly complex. No prior system knowledge is required. The only prerequisite is comfortability with or a willingness to try hardcore roleplay! 🦴LIVE THE CURSE🦴 The Blood of Caine gives great power, but at a heavy cost. You are not a hero. You can only barely be considered an antihero. Any good you do in the world is incidental to your struggle to survive. You are a predator -- a monster that preys on mankind. Your existence is unnatural and profane. You will wrestle against the Beast at every turn, and no victory is without cost. 🎶MOOD AND SETTING🎶 Dark and gloomy by design, Vampire is a game that allows you to peer through the darkest mirror. Delightfully modern gothic horror awaits in every moonlit alleyway. 💢HARD HITTING / TOUGH CHOICES💢 Survive brutal, disfiguring combat. Suffer through impossible moral questions. Struggle to keep hold of your humanity as the horrors of the World of Darkness slowly tear away at your soul. ❗SAFETY❗ This is a horror game intended for adults who enjoy stories which include difficult and upsetting content. It is also intended to be fun first and scary second. Content will never be presented in a mean-spirited way which is intended to cause actual harm to a player. +A player can request a pause to the session at any time. +A player can take a break at any time. +These safety tools will always be honored without question. Any known, specifically unacceptable triggering content will be discussed and agreed upon at the free session 0. Players who don't feel comfortable discussing triggers openly have the option of telling me privately. I welcome ongoing conversations of consent and will never belittle, invalidate, or otherwise shame a player for expressing a boundary. Especially with a horror game, I believe it is vital that players feel comfortable and empowered to address any issues that arise during gameplay. I expect that players will adhere to the same rules of conduct.
