About the adventure

Portland: the City of Roses, Rip City, Bridge City, PDX... These are the various names mortals have for the city but the Kindred call it by another name: The City of Second Chances. Unlife in the city involves a constant preoccupation with blood. Because of a limited night life and few hours of activity in the summer months, hunting is very difficult. Boons are traded and favors are called in for those lucky enough to have connections, while others end up poaching in the domains of others hoping the Sheriff doesn't find out and drag them before the Prince where they run the risk of exile or worse. Only those lucky enough to have domain have true power in Portland. While the pursuit of blood is a nightly concern for the majority of Portland Kindred, there is a dangerous game of politics being played between the Camarilla and the Anarchs across the Columbia river in Vancouver resulting in tensions over who can provide enough for their people. There are also rumors about a horrible presence from Portland's past lurking beneath the streets... The Players will arrive in the city as embarrassed or disgraced Camarilla Kindred in need of a new place to call home. But with a place in the city comes responsibilities and obligations to the city and her Prince. Nothing in unlife is free, after all. NOTE: adventure is inspired by Rose City by night sourcebook written by Rachel E. Judd.

About me

I have been playing TTRPGs for 30+ years and I have been running games for 28+ years. I started with AD&D and have branched out into World of Darkness, PBtA, and many other lesser known tabletop games. I love running and playing in games with a lot of character development and excitement. I have been or am currently involved in actual play podcasts, audiobook recording, online games, Adventure League, teaching myself audio engineering and generally being a really huge nerd about several fandoms. I grew up in New Orleans and moved to Portland, OR. I am teaching my son how to play TTRPGs and passing along the torch.
