About the adventure
The Story: "It was risky, but it paid off. Your coterie — the vampires you trust the most in this Anarch city — have driven away the city’s corrupt Baron: “Sly” Guy English. The bastard was exploiting his position and acting like a Camarilla Prince, demanding boons — boons! — for even the smallest favors. But now that Sly has pissed off, someone needs to pull the reins. His retainer, a ghoul by the name of Ichabod thanks you. He gives you names of some notable vampires in town that would make great candidates. Or.. great allies, if you were to take the throne yourself." The Game: Reins of Power, is a Vampire the Masquerade 5 story set to be played in one session. In this one-shot you play vampires aligned with the Anarch faction. This one-shot has PREMADE characters, of which you can select from. Available clans are: Nosferatu, Gangrel, Ventrue, Malkavian and Brujah. More experienced players can make a custom character upon request, but it would need to be approved before the session.

About me
Hello, I'm Dominik (or Domi for short.) I've been into TTRPGs for over a decade now. Starting with DnD and later getting absorbed into World Of Darkness. I am queer and neurodivergent (ADHD) myself, so my table has always had a focus on being a welcoming safe space! If you're looking for a story rich game, with a bit of combat drizzled in, I'm your GM! ____ All listing thumbnails are artwork drawn by me, or photograph collages edited by me, unless stated otherwise.

Creating your character
This is a one-shot designed to run with pre-made Anarch aligned characters. Newer players are recommended to pick a premade character. More experienced players are allowed to create their own neonate player characters upon request but they must be submitted the day before the session!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You just need a discord account, a PC and a mic. Preferably headphones too to prevent noise/echo.

Safety
How Dominik creates a safe table
A Foundry module with digital safety cards will be implemented. Since this is a one-shot there will not be a session 0. World of Darkness can be quite a dark setting, if you want anything to be a hard line or veiled you are free to message me without judgement. Although if the majority of the content warnings are things you are not comfortable with, I do not recommend this one-shot for you.
