About the adventure
Welcome to the dark world of Vampire: The Masquerade 5e! Unlike many roleplaying games, VTM is most often set in our real world (with some notable changes). Another core difference between VTM and things like D&D is that - instead of being the hero fighting monsters - you are the monster, and you must fight to survive. In this game, you will take on the role of a vampire trying to survive in the shadows of our modern world. Within the coteries and dens of New York City, the thirst for blood and power drives many Kindred. You are but one piece in the massive machine that is behind the masquerade. You and your clan toil in shadows; some with ambition and others merely trying to survive. As a newly sired Kindred, you have been given a simple mission to undertake as a way to prove yourself. The only question is... what will you do to survive in this world of darkness?

About me
The tension is weighty, suffocating: a moment suspended on the edge of a blade. Live, or die. Fight, or run. Figures move in the shadows - wolves, goblins, sweeping robes, shapes only seen in nightmares. Panic threatens to drown you; you glance about, danger everywhere. From behind, you hear the sound of steel against a scabbard; a low incantation begins; a growl reverberates. You divine the presence of trusted companions, and you swallow your fear. You are not trapped - these shadows are. In your hand, you sense your power - your quiver, your sword - and you cast it forth. Time slows, fates bend, and the silence breaks with the sound of destiny manifesting: Natural Twenty. ____ Welcome, friends, to the Cherry Tree! My name is Randall, and I’m here to do what I love most in this world: tell stories with others. Those stories may range from the horrific to the hilarious, from epic high fantasy to small-town whodunnits. No matter the themes or tone, I try to make every story unique. Sometimes this means tweaking a module to get a better fit, sometimes this means writing a whole new story - and sometimes it means setting the tale in my own homebrewed world of Ilian. Anyone who is willing to collaborate with, listen to, and respect their fellow players is welcome at my table. Whether our story is fun and goofy or dark and spooky, everyone should feel safe and comfortable with it and each other.
