Something darker than the night is hunting the hunters!
Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition | Campaign
About the adventure
In the heart of a city scarred by time, shadows stir and whispers travel on the wind. Detroit is a city of paradox—crumbling factories tower like forgotten monuments, their rusted skeletons casting long shadows over glittering skyscrapers and thriving underground clubs. Neon lights burn through the night mist, casting strange shapes across the abandoned streets, while the waters of the Detroit River seem to churn with a restless hunger. The Kindred of Detroit have struggled for dominance after the purging of the Sabbat, but their truce is a fragile thing—an uneasy balance of Camarilla authority, Anarch defiance, and outcast despair. Now, that balance begins to shatter. Oaths are breaking, old alliances are fraying, and an unseen hand is guiding Kindred and kine alike toward chaos. The streets are alive with whispers of the inexplicable: disappearances, unnatural murders, and hauntings that make even the undead uneasy. As tensions rise, your coterie is thrust into the undercurrent of Detroit’s perilous nights, where violence and secrets lie behind every door. It will take more than blood to survive—it will take daring, cunning, and a willingness to face the worst this city has to offer. The nights in Detroit aren’t just alive; they’re ravenous. Will you seize their power or be devoured?

Simon hosted Imperium Maledictum for us. That can be a tall order for fans of the WH40k setting- given its' width and depth. But Simon delivered the goods. It's obvious he did his research and, maybe, is even a fan of the setting himself. This allowed him to pull me into the world seamlessly. He had excellent playlists for the game, a good command of the VTT we were using, and was generally very agreeable. Simon facilitated a positive gaming experience and an enjoyable session. Thanks, Simon!

I had a ton of fun playing in his game. It was paced really well and we had time to get through it and wrap it in the time expected. He knows the setting well and presented a good mix of combat and other challenges.

Simon is great! He’s got a great playstyle and makes the entire experience very enjoyable. I was a bit of a luddite regarding playing online/virtually but Simon really did a great job makingbthe experience come to life.

Simon has been so great to work with! Friendly and more than reasonably accommodating. He knows old systems, new systems, middle years systems, you get the idea! He was incredibly patient over a couple weeks while I assembled some friends from around the country to play in a very long campaign that I’ve wanted to play in for 20 years. I recommend Simon to anyone looking to have a good time, in game

How to prepare
Have a Discord account and a mic. I'll be on camera, but you don't have to be. Don't worry about rules or character creation -- I'll teach the former during play and we'll do the latter together. If you have a rulebook, great, but don't sweat it if not.
What I provide
This is the sort of game I'll run almost entirely as Theatre of the Mind. I'll use voices, music when I can. I stick with Rules as Written, but am open to Cool things, of course! This is a dark game, as the content warnings might indicate. However, I make every effort to not let it get out of hand or over the top.
Gameplay details
We'll have a Session 0, Lines and Veils, Consent Checklist -- it's a dark game, so anything that helps everyone stay comfortable is valuable.
