About the adventure
New York City. a city of many layers. social, political, cultural, and hidden from most mortals supernaturally. the island of Manhatten is mostly controlled by the Camarilla. with Anarchs maintain a semblance of control in Brooklyn. the rest of the boroughs' are a contested warzone of supernatural beings. Players will get to choose which side of the tracks they will stand on. and work together to chase not only the goals of their sect or coderies, but their own as well. all while trying to survive and hunt in the city that never sleeps.

About me
I have 17 years of experience with TTRPGs, I also have training in theater and story telling. I bring all of these skills to bare when Gming! whether it's an offical mod from Wizards of the coast, or a completely homebrewed campaign. a one shot, or a game that will run for years. blood pumping combat focused, or shadowy politcal intruige. I am ready to help you and your fellow players tell the story they long to tell.

Creating your character
character creation will take place during session zero, and players will be starting at level 1.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
you will need a mic, a discord account, and a roll20 account. i'd suggest having at least read the rules before joining us, but i am willing to help new players learn the system as we play.
What Lazarus Hawthorn brings to the table
I use Roll20 VTT as well as Discord to run my sessions. There I use custom maps for combat, as well as use music to set the mood. Combat will be mildly tactical and rely on rules as written. While roleplay leans much more heavily into the rule of cool over RaW.

Safety
How Lazarus Hawthorn creates a safe table
I will be sending everyone a digital copy of my lines and veils document during session zero, as well as just generally have conversations during session zero, and if needed in later games, about various themes the party would be encountering.
