About the adventure
Six years have passed since the Second Inquisition shattered the Sabbat’s grip on this city, and now, their focus has shifted elsewhere. The few of us left must unite to survive, rebuild, and thrive in this new age of hiding and lawlessness. If you’re new to New York, welcome. Here, success comes to those who are strong enough to take it—and back up their words with action. There’s no elite to protect you, no Camarilla or Anarch Baron to run to. It’s all on you, and those you trust. The gangs that remain have high walls and brutal requirements for entry. The city may seem open, but underground space is scarce. Still, this is a time of opportunity for those brave enough to seize it. We will rebuild—but only if we can adapt and, above all, maintain the Masquerade. ************* As a newcomer, you’ll dive deep into New York’s underworld, carving out your place both above and below the surface. Will you team up with other gangs, or strike out on your own?

About me
Hello and welcome, I'm Avix, I am a lover of many things including TTRPGs, video games, Fantasy, FanFiction, and more. My journey into tabletop RPGs began in early 2011, and since then I've been deeply involved in TTRPGs. With several years of experience as both a Game Master and player, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to the table. As a GM I love to craft not only immersive, beautiful worlds, but engaging stories with you. Stories that, through your in-game actions, backstories, choices, and more, focus on what we want to tell together. I invite you to join me as we create better worlds and stories.

Creating your character
All characters will start as Neonates—newly embraced vampires from 1940 to the present day, or as Ancilla—vampires with a couple of centuries under their belt. All clans are available. With Storyteller approval, characters from other games can be imported. Character creation occurs during Session 0 with Storyteller guidance. If joining after the campaign begins, create your character before the first session—ST assistance provided. Characters will adhere to the creation rules outlined in the VtM 5e Core Rulebook, deviations of this will be noted in the resources channels within our Discord Server.

How Avix creates a safe table
Step into the shadows of New York in our Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition adventure, where fate is shaped by the roll of the dice. As a Neonate vampire, you’ll carve your place in the city—build a new gang or join an existing one. Explore the criminal underworld, both above and below ground, and uncover the secrets of rival Kindred factions. We use Discord for voice and out-of-game chat, and Roll20 for character sheets and dice rolls, with the Safety Tools addon enabled to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience. This campaign is beginner-friendly and champions diversity, with a zero-tolerance policy for harassment. Are you ready to embrace the night and leave your mark on a city that never sleeps?
