Bloody Streets (VtM) (Play-by-Post) (PbP) (Beginner Friendly)
Set in Modern Chicago, play a vampire simply trying to survive.
About the adventure
Chicago, a city that never sleeps, not entirely by choice. As a newer Kindred, your world has been irrevocably transformed in ways you’re only beginning to understand. The city's neon-lit streets and towering skyline seem familiar but now pulse with something else—an unseen rhythm, a code that only the blood-bound can feel. In the shadow of the city, whispers of old rivalries, political intrigue, and darker creatures lurking within the its labyrinthine underworld hum in the air. Every alley and backstreet is a corridor to power, a path to freedom, or a trap. You were mortal what feels like only yesterday, but tonight you are one of them: immortal, dangerous, and fragile in ways you hadn’t imagined. Your life is over, but your unlife has only just begun. Welcome to the Night. What happens next is up to you. Vampire the Masquerade is a dice pool based game, focused primarily on storytelling. In this game you'll be center stage in the various vampire covens trying to tackle with your newfound thirst for blood and your memories of being human. While this is primarily a sandbox game where you will create and follow your own goals, there will be a set narrative in place to keep the game moving. This is a Play-by-Post game where we'll be playing via discord and the VtM bot. It's completely asynchronous. You can post when you're available and at your convenience the game is always on when you're on! (Try and post 2-3 posts a day) Content Warning: This game will be featuring dark and violent themes.

About me
Been DMing for a long time and love reading and learning about mythology. In my free time I like to travel (or rather I did) I'm a graphic designer by trade and use GMing and playing as an escape from the hustle and bustle.

Knowledgeable about so many games and a great teacher for learning new systems. You can tell he really enjoys roleplaying. Always a great experience.

Great GM/Storyteller. I am in a V:TM PbP with them and comparing them to other PbP GMs I have had is like night and day. They are extremely active, extremely collaborative, extremely *interested*. The experience on the player end has been fantastic. I would happily pay twice their going rate (or rather, pay them weekly rather than biweekly), it's currently just criminally low for how great a game they run.

Kel creates a great, welcoming atmosphere for new party members. He let me join an in-progress campaign and pretty seamlessly fit my character into the campaign, and provided additional info for the back story. He allows players to be creative and try things that aren't in the rules.

Very friendly GM who is willing to allow for player creativity to help shape their worlds. They are active and helpful in their PBP games. Strongly recommend for folks wanting to get into Fabula Ultima.
Character creation
Creating your character
We'll create characters together, it's a community game and we should all be on the same page for this to work properly.
How this game works as a PbP: As a new player joining this campaign, you receive a personalized prologue, tailored to your character’s backstory and motivations. These prologues are designed to weave you seamlessly into the ongoing narrative, ensuring your entry feels natural, impactful, and uniquely yours. This game charges weekly, it does not start or stop at a specific time. You play when you're available. To put it another way: This game is always on. If you're busy with work that's okay! You can pop into chat later and catch up. If you're really available you can pop in and roleplay! (Note: I run Multi-game discounts: For every game of mine you join I reduce the cost of all games you're in.)

Please please message me if any topics come up that you find uncomfortable. We will stop the scene there, skip over it or otherwise walk it back like it never happened. These games are supposed to be escapes and I want every player to be excited and happy to be a part of the experience.
