Victorian Age: Vampire - Philadelphia by Night
Trouble brews in Philadelphia, and to keep his Grand Elysium safe, the Prince summons a coterie of promising neonates with a tempting offer.
About the adventure
1876, Philadelphia; The great Centennial International Exhibition is about to take place in Fairmount, and Prince Jacob has called upon a Grand Elysium to bring all eyes to his blooming Domain, inviting the international Camarilla to join in the celebrations. But while many make preparations and plans to make the most out of such a prime time for connections and deals, other become aware of the looming troubles of the still young court of Philadelphia. In a time like this, not beat can go wrong. You are summoned by the Prince for some important tasks, and there's a lot to gain if you play your cards right... Welcome, to the City of Brotherly Love! Victorian Age Philadelphia welcomes players of all levels of experience! In this Chronicle, your coterie will come together at the Prince's request for a once-in-an-unlife chance to make it big and act as his trusted agents, as many secrets and conspiracies lie under Philly's vampiric courts and shady streets. Trouble is brewing as a streak of gruesome murders threatens the Masquerade and risks Prince Jacob's Grand Elysium, all while a local Neighborhood Boss starts making a bit too much noise and earning himself not only attention, but power that could risk the court's stability. All of you have a lot to gain, and something to lose, but this is your golden chance of making a name for yourself in the newborn Camarilla of Philly, or earn your freedom from whatever shackles you. I hope you'll join me in a chronicle of conspiracy, power plays, ancient secrets and historical fun!

About me
Hello, I'm Lara Lee, but you can just call me Lee! I've been completely in love with TTRPGs for years now, an as an artist have always love creating and sharing those passions with others. Building worlds and rich character casts to explore all kinds of stories with people is a huge drive in my life. My games always aim to provide rich stories centered around the players and their own drives. From horror to romance to wild adventures, a lot of queerness, and a place where people can belong and tell their own story.

Lee is a welcoming, friendly Storyteller willing to accomodate and help newcomers and veterans alike. She sets a nice atmosphere with music during the game, and is willing to work with players incorporating elements of their backstory into the session. I had fun playing with her and would overall recommend her.
Van
Lee is an exceptional game master. Always excited to build exciting and meaningful stories with her players, and easily embraces some of the more unpredictable things involved with roleplaying games. Roleplay focused collaborative play groups will love the games held with her at the helm.

She's a passionate storyteller, an advocate for inclusion, with an amazing atmosphere. I have fond memories from our game sessions.
Zelph
She is a great GM, always going for what's most important for the story, with the player characters' choices having great weight on what happens. Lee creates a very inclusive game table, making sure everyone is comfortable and safe. She has a great focus on atmosphere, mood, and uses music and visuals for great effect in that regard.
Character creation
Creating your character
As a group, we will work on character creation together during Session 0. I will help everyone through the process and we will discuss together how to better fit each and every character into the setting and story in a way that works and is fun for everyone. Beyond that, I will always be available for one-on-one help with the character.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
• Discord (Required) • The Forge Account (Required) • Microphone (Required) All the necessary material will be available on Foundry (hosted through The Forge) at all times. Players are expected to familiarize themselves with the setting and their character motivations during session zero. My goal is to make learning the system and its rules as easy and accessible as possible throughout the game, and I also offer one-on-one time in case extra help is needed in learning the ropes or making a compelling character that is fun for you to play.
What LeeKat brings to the table
• Foundry VTT (Hosted through The Forge) and all available game resources through it, from tokens to books and any other needed assets; • A curated selection of music and sounds to make the narrative immersive and heighten the mood of the game; • Complex NPCs with motivations, personal stories and goals; • A lively, reactive world full of secrets and narratives to explore; • A safe, friendly, inclusive and comforting environment to all players, as well as narratives that heavily feature Queer themes and characters; • The Golden Rule: above all, I value a narrative-driven, player-focused experience where we all collaborate to create a compelling and enjoyable story;

Safety
How LeeKat creates a safe table
Session Zero, as well the days leading up to it and those leading up to first session, will be used for character creation, discussing everything that will be explored within the game and how the campaign will work, and we'll also use that time to get to know each other, where everyone's limits are, and how we can make this the best possible experience. This is our time to clarify any and everything about the game, characters, and expectations, and make sure everyone is on the same page. Session 0 is free of charge. We'll use Monte Cook's checklist as the starting point for our Lines and Veils, so that everyone can keep in mind their peer's limits and preferences. I provide all safety tools through Foundry in an easy and practical way for players to communicate whether a scene needs to be paused or skipped, as well as ways to "raise your hand" if there is any need to interject and make any of your needs known. Besides the tools available to everyone, all players can privately DM me for any matters they'd rather discuss privately at any point during or after a session. Stars and Wishes as well as Aftercare is how we keep the group dynamic healthy and help each other shape the game to something is more enjoyable to everyone, exchanging feedback as needed, discussing any changes that might be required, and praising everyone for a job well done as well as making sure boundaries are respected. This is the moment where players can voice their desires for the game going forward, and I will always keep and open line of communication of any issues are needed to be discussed privately. The game is roleplay-heavy and focuses on how the characters navigate their environment and interact with the world. Naturally, that also means the focus of the story will always be the players and their desires. Regardless of "plot", it is the players who shape the narrative to their liking, and a fun story everyone enjoys is always the priority. Above all, a safe and comfortable environment for people to express themselves is the most important thing.
