Shadows of the Inquisition: Atlanta by Night - a VtM5 Chronicle

Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition | Campaign

About the adventure

The world can be a scary place... and that's just the one that you and I inhabit. The World of Darkness, however, is much more frightful. When the sun sets each night, the TRUE Atlanta appears, when Kindred wake once more and the undead Damned are able to walk among the living, feeding on the unsuspecting and puppeteering the rest to whatever cause they might have on this particular night. Each Kindred has a story. What will yours be? Atlanta by Night is a gritty game of survival, mystery and personal horror that will follow our coterie of Vampires. The coterie will need to work together to find their place in Kindred society and survive the harsh and bitter reality of their unlife as problems come at them from all sides and sources.

Party notes

- The coterie are a group of Kindred who willingly work for or have been suborned by the Second Inquisition in order to learn as much as possible about the supernaturals in and around Atlanta. - First possible start date is Wednesday, November 27th, 2024, a light Session 0 has already been done. - New players are welcome! I have a lot of experience coaching players, whether you are new to Roll20, Forge/Foundry, this edition or to TTRPGs in general. - Character creation will be discussed at Session 0, as well as character concepts and how your party came to be. - My storytelling style leans more towards ROLEplaying than ROLLplaying. Combat, rules and character optimization has it's place in any game, but the story is the important bit. How much combat is included in the campaign will be discussed at Session 0. - You play characters in a big world. There are creatures and organizations more powerful than you, at least to start. Your actions will have consequences for yourself and the others in the party, and possibly on the world itself. Expectations - Voice for the game will be over Discord, so a good microphone, headphones (or ear buds) and little to no background noise is required. This includes NOT having computer speakers turned on while talking, as no one likes to hear feedback and echoes while they are talking. I also request that players NOT use Discord on a mobile device as the quality is garbage. Please use a laptop or computer. - Please be considerate of everyone else in the group in terms of scheduling. Let us know as soon as you can about missing scheduled sessions so that decisions can be made. - Be on time to sessions: this is just basic respect for everyone in the group. - This game is a safe space for all from all bigotry and hate. This includes (but isn't limited to) religious views, race, gender identity and sexual preference.

Great Storyteller! Taught rules very clearly as new players needed to learn them, balanced the spotlight between the party and had a very fun and creative game/story to join.

I don't even know where to begin. This man is a Storyteller and while his worlds have their own stories and their own layers of intrigue the players might never see he is still here first and foremost to facilitate you telling the story of your characters with as much or as little input as you give you'll find your characters being taken in directions that you couldn't have anticipated. If you're looking for a game where you can fully manifest your character then this is the storyteller for you.

I couldn't recommend David enough! I had decided to finally dip my toes into the WoD setting and I couldn't have ask for a better person to take this journey with. His stories are really compelling, immersive, and have you wishing the week would hurry up and pass by so you can see what happens next. He can take a simple character concept and make one of the best stories I've seen around them where you find yourself loving your character even more. Beyond all of this, he's just a fantastic guy all around: friendly, easy to talk to, and truly cares for his players

The LongNight brings a passion to the game that elevates it to a whole new level. They are not only passionate about the world that they have created but also your characters place in it. They make it very easy to get and stay engaged with the story. Amazing job one of the best I've played with.
