About me
Heya! My name is Brandon, though everyone online calls me Dok. I'm a veteran of TTRPGs, both running and playing for about 15 years now. I got my start with some old 1st edition D&D books my father gave me when I was 12. Nowadays, I run all sorts of stuff on a regular basis, ranging from staples like D&D 5E to Call of Cthulhu to more obscure systems like All Flesh Must be Eaten. I fancy myself as quite personable, and I'm always LGBTQ+ friendly. My preferred method for communications is Discord, and I normally use Foundry as a VTT. Thanks for giving me a look!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will be handled during a session 0 along with deciding game content and boundaries. Players will decide which Clan they would like to play, their statistics, etc. PCs relations to each other and the other citizens of Chicago (both mortal and Kindred) will be fleshed out. This will be a Camarilla-centric campaign.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
For this game you will need a decent-quality microphone and a Discord account. All the required books, character sheets, et cetera will be provided. As cliche as it is, all you need aside from that is to be ready to have fun!
What Dok brings to the table
All books and materials will be provided; dice will be rolled on the Foundry VTT system.
Homebrew rules
A transplanted WoD 5th edition combat system will be used rather than V20's RAW system.

Safety
How Dok creates a safe table
By its nature, Vampire: The Masquerade is a very dark game. Players can expect gore, realistic combat using guns, melee weapons and supernatural powers, some occasional prejudices of various types and, of course, vampirism! I utilize the Lines and Veils system (decided during session 0) to determine what should be glossed over or outright avoided, along with an open door policy and X cards in the case that something should come up which makes a player uncomfortable. While prejudice and bigotry may show up in-character, I have a zero-tolerance policy for sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. amongst players at the table.
