Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition | One-Shot
About the adventure
It is an alternate 1940s Paris, shrouded in shadows and secrecy, under the control of a rigid and oppressive regime. You are not merely human—you are a creature of the night, a beast, a vampire of the Sabbat. Your Sire, Madame Adeline, has given you a critical task as part of your nocturnal escapades. Tonight, your mission is twofold: first, sate your thirst and sow the seeds of confusion by subtly hinting at the Anarch Movement’s encroachment into Camarilla territory. Craft clever diversions, plant whispers, and leave behind subtle marks that raise questions among their ranks. Once this is achieved, make your way to a carefully guarded Camarilla warehouse. You aim to unearth valuable secrets stored within its walls—gleaning intelligence to aid your clan's cause—before ensuring that their remaining plans and documents cannot be used against you. The night beckons and the city is yours to navigate. How will you shape the shadows to your will?
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.

How to prepare
All you need is a laptop or computer to access Discord for Voice/Video (Video is optional) and a Browser on said device that can load the Foundry VTT server.
What I provide
I bring a well-laid-out One-Shot that is intended to be completed as a single introductory session to playing Vampire The Masquerade 5th, though it is fun for all levels of play. I bring a wealth of knowledge and preparation so all you need to do is bring yourself and a laptop that can connect to Discord and a Browser that can connect to Foundry Virtual Table-Top. You don't need to know how to play Vampire The Masquerade 5th edition, and I even provide detailed background and recommendations on how the character can be played if you feel like you're stuck at any given moment.
Gameplay details
Open Door: Ultimately Vampire the Masquerade is a horror game and you play characters who either fight or embrace the beast inside. Things can happen that may make you uncomfortable and you can step away at any time with zero judgment. The game will pause until you return unless you need to leave for the rest of the game. If you leave after one hour after the session has begun, there will be no refund. X Card: This will ultimately put the pause on the current scene, if need be we will skip the scene. Keep in mind I can not guarantee the length of the campaign if the X card is used, but the safety of my table is ultimately more important. Other: There will be absolutely no Children harmed during this one shot and no SA including using your powers to convince others to perform such acts.

How will character creation work
Pre-Generated Characters will be provided. There are 4 Characters to choose from, and all of them come with a Background and Recommendations for each scene as well as some narrative options. Self-made characters will be allowed as long as at least 5 days notice is given to work the character into the narrative. Necessary elements is that you are Toreador, Sabbat, and fantatical child of Madame Adeline and a believer in Lilith being the mother of vampires over Caine being the father. You are at least a century old and have been potentially from Spain, Germany, France or in that area of countries. Extra XP will be given to bring you up to par with pre-generated characters.
