About the adventure
The world can be a scary place... and that's just the one that you and I inhabit. The World of Darkness, however, is much more frightful. When the sun sets each night, the TRUE New Orleans appears, when Kindred wake once more and the undead Damned are able to walk among the living, feeding on the unsuspecting and puppeteering the rest to whatever cause they might have on this particular night. Each Kindred has a story. What will yours be? Blood in the Bayou is a gritty game of survival, mystery and personal horror that will follow our coterie of Vampires. The coterie will need to work together to find their place in Kindred society and survive the harsh and bitter reality of their unlife as problems come at them from all sides and sources.

About me
Greetings! I'm David, and I've been playing TTRPGs for close to 20 years, and been running them as a DM/Storyteller for over fifteen years, mainly in D&D and Vampire: The Masquerade. My goal in hosting any game is to give the players the best experience possible, including ambient music and soundtracks, heavily modified and customized FoundryVTT tabletops with web-based hosting, help in learning the game's system and rules (yes, even if you are new!) and a *collaborative* storytelling experience that immerses you in the world we're exploring. What do I mean by collaborative storytelling? I strive to make every player feel included in both the group of players and in the telling of the actual story, whether it be high fantasy or modern day. My favorite and most memorable campaigns as a player have always brought the group of players together in telling a great story with input from everyone, not just the GM. That being said, the games I run tend to be more role-play than roll-play, so if that's something you're looking for, I hope to see you in a game sometime soon!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
- Character creation will be handled during 'Session 0' time, it would be helpful to come with an idea or three of what you would like to play so that it can be discussed with myself and other players.
- The pitch for this chronicle is a coterie of Kindred at the dregs of society. - New players are welcome! I have a lot of experience coaching players, whether you are new to this VTT, this game/edition or to TTRPGs in general. - Character creation will be discussed at Session 0, as well as character concepts and how your party came to be. - My storytelling style leans more towards ROLEplaying than ROLLplaying. Combat, rules and character optimization has it's place in any game, but the story is the important bit. How much combat is included in the campaign will be discussed at Session 0. - You play characters in a big world. There are creatures and organizations more powerful than you, at least to start. Your actions will have consequences for yourself and the others in the party, and possibly on the world itself.
