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?

About me
"Grab a hot drink, a seat around the fire, and listen to my cowboy song." "Comfortable? Good! Now, before we get started, I want you all to know that I tell my tales for your enjoyment and pleasure... so please respect each other and don't enter this area if you desire to cause another harm. If someone's pain is your objective or entertains you... You won't make it past the opening credits of our story." [About me: Having been in (often teaching) the Arts for over 25 years, I really enjoy teaching, and I understand how and love to foster creativity in players!] --Experienced GM/DM/ST for roughly 35 years. I have professionally run hundreds of games over multiple systems. In that time, I have learned that it is the players' story and I am just here to facilitate that experience and make it run smoothly and be as entertaining as possible. I see game rules as a way to keep on track and involved...I never let them get in the way of creativity or the group's enjoyment! I came to StartPlaying looking to run some serious and/or seriously fun sessions. My story telling style is light and flows easy. I do not let the mechanics detract from the experience, but use them to enhance the story you want to be told! Teaching new systems to new players is an experience I enjoy. We were all new players, or new to a system at one time...and without kind and proper guidance we probably wouldn't still be involved in this amazing pastime! Roll well and see ya around!

How DuChampion (JJ) creates a safe table
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!
