About the adventure
Welcome to the City That Never Sleeps. It’s 2021, and you’re a new addition to the ranks of the undead. The banquet that is New York City sprawls out before you. After a long and bitter struggle, the Anarchs have wrested control of the city from the Camarilla. From the ashes of the old order, a new East Coast Free State has emerged. To celebrate their victory, the Anarchs are hosting a multi-night festival, a bawdy collision of glamour, glitz, and grit set against the gleaming backdrop of New York City. The promise of celebration and opportunity has drawn Kindred from across the globe, all eager to secure their place in the Free State before the ink is dry. The rewards are great for those who put on a good showing. But within jubilant salons, glamorous exhibitions, and raucous parties, other predators stalk the New York nights, each seeking to satisfy their own dark desires. Will you rise on the tide of revolution, shaping the future of the Free State itself? Or discover secrets lurking beneath the festivities? The party has started. We mustn’t keep the Kindred waiting…. Join us and step into a living chronicle, where your actions are woven into a shared world and the stories you tell linger long after the night is over.

About me
Hi! Welcome, stranger and potential friend! I know your time is valuable, so I'll start with The Most Important Thing: I work hard to make my games as safe and inclusive as possible. I've had the experience of being The Only Girl at the Table. In a game featuring vampires and other supernatural creatures, I've been told that I can't play a warrior or a scholar because that's "not realistic." I've had the experience of playing in games where the only female NPCs were barmaids. I've also been queerbaited and/or played in games that only featured same sex relationships as fantasies for the rest of the players or as punchlines. It's my goal to make my games the EXACT OPPOSITE of those experiences by creating an environment where marginalized players can be themselves and see themselves in the games they play. My adventure in the wild world of professional GMing began with a misfortune. I was on the path to being a lifelong academic when I caught Covid during the first wave. I was seriously ill. I spent a great deal of time in bed and a great deal of time recovering. Those long, empty days gave me a lot of time to think about my major life decisions. Ultimately, it was this self-examination that led me here! Needless to say, my fun with TTRPGs began well before my foray into academia. I started playing Vampire the Masquerade when I was only 13 years old! I ran my first VtM game shortly after I became a player. In addition to VtM, I've been both player and storyteller for Werewolf, Changeling, Hunter, and Wraith- with a little D&D and Monster of the Week sprinkled in for good measure. I'm also a lifelong horror fan. When I'm not consuming horror via film, I like to read EC comics and bad horror/pulp novels! I've linked my IG and my Discord, so come hang out with me on the socials!

Creating your character
Initial character concepts will be discussed during Session 0. Following Session 0, players will create their neonate character with guidance from the ST. Players joining after Session 0 will create their character, with input from the ST and fellow players.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need an internet connection, a mic, a Discord account, and a Roll20 account. Before the start of the game, players should familiarize themselves with the existing lines and veils and take a moment to familiarize themselves with their tech. We use Roll20 for dice rolling and visual references, but Discord for AV. It's helpful if players take a moment to test out their tech settings so that we're ready to go when game time rolls around.

Safety
How Byrne Baby Byrne creates a safe table
Safety is a priority at my table. * We begin with a Session 0 where we establish Lines and Veils, review table tone, and discuss comfort levels for horror, gore, paranoia, and other dark themes. * I use digital X, N, and O cards embedded directly in Roll20 so players can signal discomfort quietly and immediately at any time. Safety tools are always honored without question or explanation. * We will also cover bleed, debriefing, and aftercare, ensuring every player leaves the session feeling grounded and supported, which is especially important in atmospheric or psychological horror. * Players joining after Session 0 will receive a written safety handout on the VTT and a quick safety onboarding before play. Horror should be thrilling, never harmful.
