About the adventure

New York City is a battleground not just between the Camarilla, the Anarchs and the Sabbat, but between the living and the dead. When the heiress of a decimated Hecata bloodline emerges from the shadows, seeking allies against the necromantic elite, the Anarchs are drawn into a war they never saw coming. Genevieve Montclair claims she wants justice. But is justice just another word for power? As the Hecata descend into chaos, and the city’s factions take sides, the real question isn’t whether she will win, it’s whether or not she should. Will you help Genevieve reclaim her legacy, or stop her before she becomes something even worse?

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.

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.

How to prepare

We will be using Discord for voice chat, and Roll20 for dice rolls and maps. Please make sure you have an account with both of these services. Please have a decent, working microphone/headset. Please come to session zero with an idea of the type of character you would like to play. Bringing character art is highly encouraged, but not necessary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you new to Start Playing?

What I provide

I will provide any pdfs of source books we may need. I can also provide you with a character token or art if you need it. I also enjoy doing character voices and weaving player characters' backstories into the game.

How will character creation work

You will be playing as fledgling Anarch vampires, newly Embraced. I like a bit of flexibility with character creation, though, so we'll have a session zero (free of charge) in which we all create your characters together! All the clans in the game will be available to play, with the exception of Thinbloods. Hecata will be considered on a case-by-case basis, due to the nature of this chronicle. If you want to play your favorite bloodline from V20 or revised (Daughters of Cacophony, Nagaraja, Old Clan Tzimisce, etc.) we can certainly make that happen through the magic of homebrew, with the one exception of the Baali, because I don't really want to get into all the demon stuff in this chronicle.
