San Francisco by Night 🏳️🌈 First 2 sessions FREE [New Players
Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition | Campaign
About the adventure
The Golden City bleeds. The Second Inquisition tightens its grip. Activists take to the streets, their voices echoing through the night, unaware of the predators lurking in the shadows. Alcatraz, once a prison for mortals, now serves as something far darker—a fortress of secrets, where Kindred who cross the wrong lines disappear. Prince John Foster of Clan Ventrue rules from his throne atop a crumbling empire, beset by rivals, anarch unrest, and whispers of betrayal within his own court. The Camarilla clings to power, but the cracks in the Tower widen. Will you uphold the Masquerade or tear it down? Will you stand with the Prince or carve out your own dominion in the neon-lit abyss? San Francisco is a city of opportunity—for those who can survive the night. 🩸 System: Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition 🩸 Themes: Political intrigue, personal horror, survival in a city under siege 🩸 Setting: A fractured Camarilla court, a rising Anarch movement, and an ever-present mortal threat The choice is yours. Sink your fangs into the city—before it devours you first.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
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.
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.

Love playing the Dead Winter campaign with Spoon! Lots of a fun world exploration with the sandbox/open world with a good variety of combat and downtime and interactions with NPCs. Definitely am looking forward to exploring more:D

The game was way too expensive for the level of DMing that was given with a world that had no story and have to search for something to do because he gave no story beats to follow and had no direction at all and we had to force conversations and quests with NPCs because he had nothing for them to do or say, it's hard to put a bad experience into proper words but I did my best to describe it TLDR: He is just not a great DM or this was his worst game and we didn't match well enough to play the game

Beginner-friendly, Spoon made me feel great even if I had never played a WoD game before. He responded quick to my question and helped me build my character. I had fun even if it was only for one session. Highly recommend him.

Great storyteller. Allows for a lot of different perspectives and things that you can do in games. The set up running the games is great. Always has a good disposition for what is going on and always enjoys a good laugh.

What I provide
I will create a discord for voice chat, sharing handouts and NPC profiles. I will have a fully customized foundry for easy character creation and optimization. I pride myself on making complex and interesting NPCS. I use visuals and audio to create immersion. The game will feature custom 3d dice to add to the look and feel of the table.
