About the adventure
Then Detroit. The motor city. Birthplace of Mowtown Records. Originally a Camarilla stronghold, the city fell to the Sabbat in the 20th century and they ruled it undisputed until 2005, when a reckless vampire tried to take control of a cartel and was taken captive, revealing the truth of vampires to the cartel. The Camarilla, sensing weakness, moved in to take back the city. The cartel had no chance against both factions and were defeated. The Camarilla and Sabbat each retreated to their strongholds in the city and a restless truce became the state of things. Now The Lasombra have joined the Camarilla, and in the process, betrayed their former Sabbat allies in Detroit. The Camarilla now reigns here, but it is not a city at peace. The Camarilla works to revitalize the urban wasteland, bringing business and jobs back to the city, and the kine follow, full of hot blood. The Sabbat wages a secret war to take back their stronghold and the Inquisition builds strength here, working with the remnants of the cartel. A new drug appears in the streets and in the clubs. Rapture creates a euphoric state in it’s users and leaves a telltale red stain on the tongue. For a city recovering from poverty and hardship, this drug offers an escape for many people. The problem is that vampires who drink kine with Rapture in their systems are infected with a wasting blood disease. Each member of your coterie is close to someone affected by Rapture, either kine or vampire and it falls to you to unravel the mystery of this new street drug and who is behind it. This will be a sandbox chronicle set in the motor city that begins with a mystery and then follows the stories of your characters. Intrigue, politics, factions, personal power, secrets of your blood, the stories we will tell here are endless and where the story goes will depend on the choices your characters make. No previous knowledge of Vampire the Masquerade 5th edition is necessary and all are welcome. The night is yours for the taking…
Your heart beats no more, but you have never felt more alive Your blood awakens, giving you supernatural powers no mortal can match You carry the curse of all who came before you, made in their image You are now the shiver that runs down the spine Fear follows in your wake You feel the beast lurking in your own shadow, ever gnawing to be free The nights are long, and they are yours for the taking…

Gameplay details
I have a Google form I will send you once you sign up that will very thoroughly go through lines and veils. I also use digital and/or messaged and/or held up on video X, N, & 0 cards. I am also available after each session for aftercare, as needed. At session 0 we will go over lines and veils that were filled out ahead of time (anonymously) so player expectations can be set.
