About the adventure
Welcome to Detroit, a turbulent, infamous, and iconic city on the brink of transformation. Motown’s Kindred scene is on edge as new faces flood the city, bringing whispers of opportunity and danger. Some seek refuge, others seek power, and a few carry secrets that could upend the city’s fragile peace. The city teeters on the edge of chaos as factions vie for control and shadowy rumors hint at ancient threats and untold opportunities. Detroit stands on the precipice of transformation, and your choices will shape its future. Will you seize power, fight for change, or watch it all burn?

Additional details
How to prepare
This game takes place online, so players will need an internet connection, a Discord account, and a free Roll20 account. Players will also need a mic; webcams are strongly encouraged, but not required. I recommend familiarizing yourself with the Clans and sects from the core book before Session 0. Read through the Character Creation Guide on pp. 136-7 if possible. The more thorough your character concept, the more you'll get out of Session 0.
What I provide
My games explore personal horror and the moral complexities that come with being a Kindred, so players looking to challenge their assumptions will feel right at home. I create bespoke cities for each game that I run, ensuring that each installment of my shared world is unique, and I roleplay SPCs to the fullest. In addition, I provide read-only copies of the source books and supplements to my players for the duration of the campaign.
Gameplay details
This is a game of personal and political horror, so players should expect some horror elements. Lines and Veils will be established together during Session 0. Players joining after Session 0 will have an opportunity to add to existing Lines and Veils. After each session, we will take a moment to check in and make sure everyone is on the same page. Anonymous X-N-O cards are enabled on the VTT so that players can communicate boundaries during gameplay.
