About the adventure
"The year is 1996. New York City is under Anarch control and the Camarilla are digging their fangs into the city that never sleeps; but biting off more than they can chew. The city has been teetering the line of all out war between the kindred that live within its confines, and something soon will push it a conflict so bloody it will stain america itself red. Your corterie will be either Camarilla, Sabbat or Anarch and will be a deciding factor in the salvation of NYC, or in its doom." The game will be ideally slow paced, and will have a focus on investigation and dialogue based roleplay. Ideally it will be simple mechanically too, being entirely unchanged from the basic system, making the setting and game perfect for new players. In terms of genre; the chronicle will be more scary, serious and grounded, and will be fairly philosophical, dealing with the moral issues at stake (heheh), although it won't be all dark and gloomy. Ideally keeping a tone comprable to the X files or Van Helsing (2016), serious but with realistic and human characters who can occasionally make light of bad situations. The individual kindred you play will be of an age category and sect decided by the group in session 0. The sects in play are the Camarilla (Authoritarian governmentalists) Anarch (members of independent clans that are united partially through rejection of Camarilla order) and the Sabbat (Preferably done with more experienced players, but basically super religious zealot Anarchs) Join up today for a bloody and raw VTM experience with a killer VTT and story that you won't forget!

How to prepare
Just Discord, a Mic and a computer!
What I provide
An immersive, high quality forgevtt supported foundry with over 300 modules to add to interactive gameplay including ambient sounds, full dynamic lighting, animations for weapons and a curated soundtrack integration I make mostly custom maps in dungeondraft, or provide high quality ones from sources like Tom Cartos or Baileywiki, I try and source individual art for all tokens placed, I use some custom modules which introduce minigame puzzles and an immersive Visual Novel-like stage. I really try my best to do character voices to create distinct NPC's, as well as using Voicemod to add interesting layers to supernatural NPC's. I've been experimenting with Soundboards too. My combat is something i'm very proud of; you'll find yourselves in challenging but fair situations against interesting opponents that have relevance to the story. No random encounter with wild animals that means nothing to the story here! I'm pretty much entirely "Story First" as a dm. If you want to change the way something works to tell a cooler story in your character or overall I'm very open to that.
Gameplay details
I have a anonymous x-card system in foundry for situations that come up on the fly but I discuss any potential triggers in advance with the individual and then the group again in session 0. Breaks are done roughly every 1.5 hours for around 5-10 minutes.

How will character creation work
I'm free for questions whenever and will dedicate time (free of charge of course) to 1-1 character creation before session 0, where we tailor fit your PC to the story and the overall group for maximum cohesion and integration. Following that session 0 will be to sit down as a group and discuss how we want the game to play and set out the chronicle tenets.
