About the adventure
For decades your Coterie of Ancilla Kindred have been secure in your place within the power structure of your city. The Prince maintained a delicate balance between the players of the great game and kept enough unity to hold off the threats of the Second Inquisitions, the Anarchs and Thin-Blooded as well many other problems endangering the Masquerade and the Camarilla's control of the Domain. With only a few nights warning has vanished, taken by the mysterious Beckoning. A brief window has opened up to allow one power block to overcome the pull of inertia and ennui that years of stability has instilled in the cities Ancilla and seize Praxis! The Coterie must pull upon their long memories and reserves of power and influence to take the prize before another group of powerful Kindred beats them to occupying The Vacant Throne!

About me
I love running character focused, story driven games that are roleplay forward with a good mix of action and problem solving to spice things up. I'm up for running all kinds of games but my favorite are the Trinity Continuum and World of Darkness games. While I can potentially run Solo campaigns my rate is $50 per session minimum. I do not run play by post campaigns.

Creating your character
Characters will be made using the Ancilla creation rules in the In Memorium source book, which will be provided. We will discuss character and coterie creation during our Session 0 and I will be available via Discord to answer any questions about the process
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have internet and a microphone. Webcam is preferred but not required. We will play via Zoom and will invite you to my private discord server for discussion and planning.
What Scott brings to the table
I will provide all books and access to a private discord server. I try to give important NPCs unique voices, and run my games with a focus on PC agency (with consequences). I generally stick to Rules as Written but will bend things for the sake of the story.
