HEARTS IN HAVENPORT - Tales of Blood and Love
Vampire: The Requiem 2nd Edition | Campaign
About the adventure
"Surprise! You're dead!" - Faith No More Havenport, Maine. A city that should not be. You came here to save a friend, to end a war, to get answers. Instead, only questions await. Where has your old mentor disappeared to? Why did he summon you here in the first place? Why are two powerful Kindred families feuding? Why are all the young vampires dying? And most importantly, why does the fog keep whispering? The city itself makes it hard to focus. The crisp coastal air carries the scent of pine forests and saltwater, with the faint, almost imperceptible bite of something foul lingering beneath. The soft glow of streetlamps casts long shadows on weathered Victorian homes and aging rowhouses alike. Winding streets seem neglected, yet flow with rivers of nameless faceless mortals. And in the middle of everything… You. The dead. Trying not to die again. Will you succeed?
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Session 21 update: The King is dead! Long live the King! The power grab has worked, and now the coterie rules the city. It was easy. Almost too easy. And now the Primogen Council have requests... For a glimpse of the Havenport mood, watch the trailer. https://youtu.be/BELbJD6IspE

How to prepare
From a tech standpoint, you only need a free Discord account, a working microphone, and a decent Internet connection. Everything else is optional. You don't even need dice! You can use the Discord or Google dice roller, your own physical dice, whatever works for you.
What I provide
Hearts in Havenport is based on a sourcebook for Vampire the Requiem 2nd Edition and includes the following: - an entire fictional city with districts, points of interest, and map - less restrictive character creation - new joinable covenants - rules for bloodline creation - a playtested conversion of the blood magic of Thaumaturgy - various other tidbits converted from Vampire the Masquerade Alongside the sourcebook and setting, there's a free Session 0, a private Discord server, tons of custom artwork for all major NPCs and locations, and a killer soundtrack. I've been running games for over two decades and I'm not much of a stickler for rules-as-written, so expect creative interpretations of mechanics and plentiful Rule of Cool moments.
Gameplay details
Lines and veils will be discussed during Session 0. Once that's out of the way, we'll maintain an open door policy and incorporate breaks into sessions as needed. For any additional concerns, questions etc., I'm available to message on Discord. Player enjoyment is paramount so don't hesitate to contact me with the specifics.

How will character creation work
During Session 0, players will make their characters together. Those new to Vampire the Requiem have nothing to worry about, the process is straightforward and I'll be there every step of the way. You'll receive detailed info with links to the Hearts in Havenport sourcebook, character sheets, and our Discord server when you sign up for the adventure. If you want, you can use the sourcebook to create your character before Session 0, but it's easier if we all do it together.
