About the adventure
🩸Austin After Midnight is a persistent, asynchronous Play-by-Post Vampire: The Requiem chronicle set in a politically explosive version of modern Austin, TX. This is a living sandbox, where every player controls their own nightly agenda, their own domain, and their own place within the covenants that rule the city. 🩻This is not a linear campaign. It is a shared city experience, where 10+ Kindred operate simultaneously across districts, feeding grounds, and underground politics. 🔥You’ll claim territory, forge alliances, manipulate factions, navigate deadly etiquette, and uncover dark mysteries buried beneath Austin’s music, tech, and spiritual subcultures. Every choice you make ripples across the city for every other player. 🧛No two characters have the same story — and the city reacts to everything you do. 🔥What Players Will Experience A fully developed Austin supernatural map divided by covenant, district, and influence A persistent world that continues moving even when your character isn’t present Multiple simultaneous storylines tailored to your character Opportunities to claim domain, establish havens, and reshape the city Social maneuvering, intrigue, mystery, feeding scenes, and covenant politics Crossovers with other PCs whenever you choose, AND a monthly Court meeting Character-driven narratives, personal horror, and meaningful consequences 🕰️ Posting Expectations GM posts once or twice daily minimum Players are expected to post at least once per day (or 5× weekly) Parallel scenes allow uninterrupted play Group scenes happen monthly and are optional

About me
Hello. Welcome to my table... I am a game master with over 2 decades worth of experience running games of various systems, settings, and genres. Everyone is welcome at my table! I love that roleplaying games engage imagination and improvisation in both the players and the GM. I craft unforgettable tabletop experiences steeped in darkness, mystery, and high-stakes storytelling. Whether unraveling ancient conspiracies, surviving apocalyptic horrors, or battling cosmic forces, I lead players through worlds where danger lurks in every shadow. I thrive on making stories with the characters. I am known to improvise very well with whatever the characters want to do and give consequences when appropriate. I don’t seek to kill characters, but I also don’t like to hold punches in combat. I cater my style based on the game and setting we are playing. I have a physical condition called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC for short) that limits strength and mobility in my appendages, so my mind and imagination are my biggest assets. I love telling a story and being part of the creative process for others’ creativity!

What Colwyn brings to the table
🧩My ST (Storyteller) Style I run high-narrative, character-focused stories with strong attention to atmosphere and political tension. Every player gets personalized plot threads, one-on-one scenes, and control over their character’s goals, havens, and domain. The world reacts meaningfully to your actions, and no two chronicles unfold the same way. I emphasize: Immersive writing Player agency Complex NPCs Consequences that matter Heavy intrigue and supernatural mystery Collaborative world shaping 💸 Pricing Recommended Price: $12 per week per player This is an ongoing subscription-style PbP chronicle. Billing occurs weekly through StartPlaying. Players may pause or exit at any time. Your support allows me to create individualized storylines, maintain the living city, and provide multiple GM responses daily.
