Burning Down the Tower: Appalachia’s 1921 Anarch Rebellion

Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition | Campaign

About the adventure

**** Chronicle Set in Charleston, WV 1921**** Blair Mountain wasn't just the biggest labor uprising in American history—it was the first battle cry of an Anarch revolution against the Camarilla's ruthless tyranny. For decades, Charleston's Camarilla have exploited both mortal and Kindred alike, crushing any who dared defy their power. But times are changing, and neonate Kindred like you refuse to kneel to their cruelty any longer. You've proudly taken up the Anarch cause! Now, the real war begins. The corrupt Camarilla elders fears everything you represent—liberation, equality, and the courage to stand up against ancient corruption. They'll stop at nothing to crush your rebellion. Will your courage define a new era for Kindred and mortals alike, or will you be swallowed by the darkness you fight against? When the Beast whispers, and hunger claws at your humanity, which voice will you listen to—the one that seeks justice, or the one that only wants blood?

Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Recruiting notes

*** This is an Anarch game, although in this chronicle the Anarchs are "The Good Guys". Causing trouble and rising against the socio-cultural oppression cause by the Camarilla . *** ***Chronicle set in 1921***

What I provide

I have learned over the years that it is the players story and I am just here to facilitate that experience and make it run smooth and be as entertaining as possible. Maps, reference materials, notes, photos etc. will be posted on roll20. I will organize it all so everyone enjoys the experience, and take pride in doing so.

Gameplay details

This will be an open door game, if you need to take a break, for any reason, please do so!! All I ask, is if you can, please mute your mic so I know you are out (and if you can PM me what I need to change I will!!) -Any use of "out of character" Racism, Sexism, or Discrimination or Personal Attacks of any kind will get you banned. -Players who do these things "in character" are discouraged/warned/and subject to being (quickly) kicked or banned. -If you do not follow the “Fade to Black” rule you will be kicked or banned. **Fade to Black Rule** During the game, if there is ever an event, situation, or anything that as a player makes you feel Please say “Fade to Black” (same as N card although sometimes I don't see the chat right away)and that scene will end. I will not ask, I will not judge, I will take control and respect this choice. No story is worth paining someone!
