About the adventure
In the dark and cold northern nights of Holland Michigan many people live their lives. Across Lake Michigan from Chicago, Holland is a major shipping and receiving hub for the state. This means lots of people come and go, ample opportunities for some nobody to disappear or to take part in the hospitality industry. Such a city is ripe for vampires to live unseen as the throng of unfamiliar faces pass through every night. Nobody asks too many questions. You are one of these vampires, turned about a year ago and recently released to make your own decisions. Living in Holland is a decent gig if you have any smarts to survive. You just have to not fuck it up for anyone else. Which can be hard when other vampires are always trying to make you fuck up for their own game. Holland isn't isolated either, the neighboring cities are part of the same industries with now clear borders, but vampires willing to fight over them. If you wanna follow a mark into Beechwood or Zeeland you need to have permission from that town's vampires. Even worse, right down the 196 is Grand Rapids which is a much bigger town. The vampires in Holland, Beechwood, and Zeeland owe some allegiance to Grand Rapids just because it has so many more vampires. With strange webs of politics and a new supernatural life to manage, you have a lot on your plate. Can you learn the world and manage to survive this beautiful new world of night you find yourself in?

About me
Hello, my name is Oscar and I am a game designer and active GM! I hope to GM a wide variety of games for an equally wide variety of people so that I can experience more perspectives on TTRPG's. I like the strange and the niche and want to bring unique TTRPG experiences to life! I've been a GM since 2017 and in that time I have run a number of different types of game. From galaxy spanning space adventures to gritty and cruel low fantasy I can run a variety of different tones and settings. I tend towards more combat but I am just as happy to run more story and role-play focused games. I'm not overly attached to any one system, and if I don't already know it I'm happy to learn it. I've actively run Exalted, Lancer, Crowns, Five Torches Deep, and Shadow of the Demon Lord as well as familiarized myself with Eclipse Phase, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e, Chronicles of Darkness, Pathfinder 2e, and Cyberpunk RED
