VtM: Styx and Bones (Learn To Play)

About the adventure

Styx and Bones is an exploration of the Hecata within the World Of Darkness within the Cults of the Blood Gods setting. This story centers the Hecata as they exist in a Camarilla city that barely survived the Second Inquisition. As members of the Hecata or as their trusted allies, the players will explore two cults in the World Of Darkness. They will unearth old ghost, investigate new dangers and struggle with the personal cost of kindred warfare. This is a great game for beginners, those who want to explore magic/necromancy or generally want to play as a master of undeath. My DM Style: I tend to focus on the more personal aspects of undeath. Willpower, Humanity, and Social combat are some of my favorite systems in V5 and I’m not afraid to use them. Social Combat that matters: No more endless back and forth with SPC’s or even other player characters. When social disagreement pops up you can rely on the dice being the final arbiters. Choices have consequences: This is the world of darkness and everyone is a monster. Be prepared to deal with the consequences of your actions. Murder-hobos, Yandare-like behavior and other such troupes will be dealt with accordingly. Death State: There will be a small death buffer for the first 2 or three episodes to help us get our footing. There will be a limited amount of character rerolls to avoid ‘throw-away characters’ flooding the adventure. Considerate Play: The WoD is already a tough place and coterie is about all you have. Characters that are either outright antagonistic or a huge detriment to their team will require tweaking. This is a ‘team’ game after all and your coterie needs you just as much as you need them.
