About the adventure
❄️🩸This short campaign will last 3 sessions.🩸❄️ It's 1980, Billings Montana - the Magic City. That's where you're going; to experience the Rocky Mountain hospitality of a small town that recently succeeded in an Anarch coup against the Ivory Tower of the Camarilla. It's a changing America my fellow kindred. Economical worries, layoffs, drifters and a rough winter ahead. But don't let all that distract you from the carols, bright lights, smiles and that Christmas spirit. This is a place where everyone knows everyone and folks aren't who they seem. ❄️🩸What to expect🩸❄️ A healthy mix of horror, mystery, intrigue and comedy. You will take on the role of California based Anarchs sent to Billings, Montana to follow up on the recent Anarch coup. Things rarely go to plan so you're here to make sure they did in fact go to plan. But it is Christmas and it is a visit made in spirit of solidarity with the cause, so don't forget to celebrate. A good coup deserves merriment.

About me
Hello friend. My name is Edgar I'm a storyteller, writer and artist with just about ten years of GM experience. It all began when I was a wee lad and got invited to game of, would you believe it, Dungeons and Dragons. I fell in love with tabletop roleplay right then and there, seeing it as collaborative art and storytelling. At my table we are inclusive, welcoming and attentive. I've run many systems in my time and played around with a bunch of themes. If I had to pick favorites, I'd go with mystery and horror, so even if we're doing wacky hijinks in Faerûn, I am liable to throw in a puzzle or a scare. While the rules of the system are an important framework, I believe that the 'rule of cool' is a universally excellent rule. As a GM my loyalty is to the story that we are all creating together, with all the curveballs and out-of-the-box chicanery players are oft to do.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
We will create characters before the sessions begin using rules for Neonate character creation with 30 starting exp (instead of the usual 15). All the official VtM 5e books are free to reference and pull from.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord account for voice chat and a Roll20 account as that is where the game will be hosted.
What Edgar brings to the table
I will use voices where necessary to differentiate between and match the characters portrayed. I will use music on roll20 for atmosphere. Combat, typical of VtM 5e will be dramatic, intense but rules light.

Safety
How Edgar creates a safe table
- I will be sending my players an RPG consent checklist. - X/N cards can be used on video or discord chat, whichever is more comfortable. - We will have a 10-15 minute break around the middle of the session. - After the session if you have any concerns, questions or comments, I highly encourage my players to voice them.
