New York by Night [LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and Women-Inclusive]
Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition | Campaign
About the adventure
Welcome to the City That Never Sleeps. It’s 2021, and you’re a new addition to the ranks of the undead. The banquet that is NYC sprawls out before you. Until recently, these streets were firmly under the control of a sect called the Camarilla, a group of vamps that enforce the Masquerade at all costs. But the winds have changed. The Anarchs have claimed the city, toppling the old order and forcing the Cam underground. Now, the city is fractured. The Camarilla is regrouping, searching for the remnants of its old guard to reestablish a foothold. The Anarchs, still consolidating their power, are hunting those loyal to the Tower before they can strike back. And in the shadows, mortals whisper of strange disappearances. The Hunters are stirring… and they’re paying close attention to New York’s crowded streets. To survive, you must pick a side. Will you help the Cam reclaim what they’ve lost? Will you fight to preserve the Anarchs’ hard-won freedom? Will you forge a new path, perhaps one that serves only yourself? Make your choice. The Kindred are watching…

Have played with this Storyteller for enough sessions to get a feel, and I'm super impressed on every level. There is almost no wasted time at our table, sessions are lean but there's a tremendous amount accomplished. I don't mean that we're railroaded or not allowed to have fun with things, I mean that we're artfully kept from spinning our wheels in choice paralysis or overplanning, so we accomplish more in a single two hour session than some other tables I've been on accomplish in multiple longer sessions. It's clear that a tremendous amount of thought goes into their game world, both in terms of lore and in terms of table rules. Great scene-setting, memorable characters, good hooks. If you aren't a fit for the table, you'll both find it out quickly and go your separate ways without hard feelings, like adults. 10/10.
Byrne is a fantastic storyteller! She has an incredible way of weaving what the players say into a cohesive narrative and is a joy to work with. One of my favorite things I have seen in her work so far is how she seems to be genuinely overjoyed for her players success. I look forward to many more sessions with her!
The webinar offered valuable insights into managing challenging situations with problem players on StartPlaying. While the session was highly informative, a slightly more concise format could enhance the experience. Overall, it was an enlightening discussion that provided useful perspectives.

How to prepare
Players will need an internet connection, a mic, a Discord account, and a Roll20 account. Before the start of the game, players should familiarize themselves with the existing lines and veils and take a moment to familiarize themselves with their tech. We use Roll20 for dice rolling and visual references, but Discord for AV. It's helpful if players take a moment to test out their tech settings so that we're ready to go when game time rolls around.
What I provide
I supply the core book, supplements, the VTT, visual references for NPCs and locations, maps, character voices, and a compelling story.
Gameplay details
A list of lines and veils will be provided at the beginning of the game, and players are welcome to add their own. Also, safety cards are integrated into the VTT. I will briefly introduce how to use the safety deck feature so that all players can communicate their comfort levels throughout the game.
