About the adventure
Six years have passed since the Second Inquisition shattered the Sabbat’s grip on this city, and now, their focus has shifted elsewhere. The few of us left must unite to survive, rebuild, and thrive in this new age of hiding and lawlessness. If you’re new to New York, welcome. Here, success comes to those who are strong enough to take it—and back up their words with action. There’s no elite to protect you, no Camarilla or Anarch Baron to run to. It’s all on you, and those you trust. The gangs that remain have high walls and brutal requirements for entry. The city may seem open, but underground space is scarce. Still, this is a time of opportunity for those brave enough to seize it. We will rebuild—but only if we can adapt and, above all, maintain the Masquerade. ************* As a newcomer, you’ll dive deep into New York’s underworld, carving out your place both above and below the surface. Will you team up with other gangs, or strike out on your own? Step into a thrilling Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition adventure where your storytelling and choices will shape the fate of your characters, the story, and the City itself.. This play-by-post game will unfold through written posts, allowing you to delve into the dark alleys, neon-lit streets, and underground of New York City at your own pace. As a Neonate or Ancilla Vampire, you'll be either a new arrival or long term resident navigating the dangerous waters of the Second Inquisition, other organizations, and the primal urges within to survive and thrive in the City where your very existence is a danger to yourself and others of your kind if uncovered. Our game will take place on Discord, where you'll engage in out-of-character discussions, and we’ll use dedicated channels for in-game posts. We’ll also utilize Discord Bots for Dice Rolls and Character sheets as well as PDF Character Sheets for character creation and tracking, with the RPG Consent Checklist ensuring a supportive and respectful environment. This campaign is open to beginners and values diversity, with a firm commitment to LGBTQ+/BIPOC/Women inclusivity and a zero-tolerance policy against harassment. Are you ready to embrace the night and shape the future of the Kindred in the city that never sleeps? Join us and let your story unfold. This game is designed to run in an open/living world style of game play. The number of Seats available are the number of available spots across three groups. The groups are three separate Gangs with their own ideals, goals, etc. The Players will all share a world together and will be able to interact with each other. The game will be charged weekly on the set day. The GM and players are expected to post at minimum 3 times a week in character in the game channels. The game is an Asynchronous play-by-post in which the players are able to respond in their own time without a set time expectation aside from the minimum posting requirements.

About me
Hello and welcome, I'm Avix, I am a lover of many things including TTRPGs, video games, Fantasy, FanFiction, and more. My journey into tabletop RPGs began in early 2011, and since then I've been deeply involved in TTRPGs. With several years of experience as both a Game Master and player, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to the table. As a GM I love to craft not only immersive, beautiful worlds, but engaging stories with you. Stories that, through your in-game actions, backstories, choices, and more, focus on what we want to tell together. I invite you to join me as we create better worlds and stories.

Creating your character
**Character Creation Details:** All characters will start as Neonates—newly embraced vampires from 1940 to the present day—or Ancillas—Vampires born between 1780 and 1940. Available clans include: Toreador, Ventrue, Malkavian, Tremere, Lasombra, Nosferatu, and Banu Haqim. With Storyteller approval, characters from other games can be imported. Character creation occurs before you begin posting. If joining after the campaign begins, create your character before your first in-character post—ST assistance provided. Characters will adhere to the creation rules outlined in the VtM 5e Core Rulebook. Characters will be created on Roll20 and all in-game rolls will be handled on the VTT. Roll20 will only be used for housing characters and rolls.
