About the adventure
Whether Chicago is seen as a prime example of a successful Camarilla metropolis or an Anarch-ridden breeding ground, it cannot escape the changing times of the Kindred world. As the Camarilla strengthens its redoubt to hinder the Second Inquisition’s intrusion, the Gehenna Crusade rages in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East; clans must reform or face destruction. The year is 2019, and Chicago is on the edge of a great change. Clan Lasombra is one clan that understands that adaptation and change are needed to survive in this new, modern world, and whispers move through the Windy City that a new age of the Night Clan is coming. 'The Sacrifice' allows players to play through the historic moment of Clan Lasombra's induction into the Camarilla, and even have a say in what happens. Play as Camarilla, Anarchs, or even Autarkis, as you become embroiled in age old tensions, and the world of Kindred politics. -- This short chronicle will take place over 8-12 sessions (with wriggle room on either side), starting with a sandbox-style prologue to help the characters get to know one another, which will then lead into The Sacrifice and end at the end of the story, with room for a session or two for an epilogue to allow characters to settle. Personal stories are what shine in Vampire : The Masquerade, and I want each character to feel as though they have a place in Chicago, around the bounds of the short story. Any level of experience is welcome! I love new players and introducing them to the world and rules just as much as meeting experienced players.

About me
I've been playing and running TTRPGs for 5 years now, with experience with Vampire the Masquerade, DnD, and Pathfinder. In my free time, you can find me writing, drawing, reading, or thinking about vampires (or all the above!).

Creating your character
We will have a free Session 0 to discuss character ideas, but if you have a strong character idea you're welcome to bring them along as well! Having some idea of a concept at least would be best.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Once you join, I will add you to the Discord and we can start getting ready for Session 0, whether that is a group one, or a one on one with just me if you join after session 1. Please have a discord account and make an account with the Forge (for free!) which is where I host my Foundry sessions. Please have a working microphone for the sessions too.
What Isaac brings to the table
I am an ST that incorporates all the PCs' backstories and motivations into the game, along with fleshed out NPCs, which will create an immersive experience for my players. I do voices and accents, and choose ambient music to set the scene. I also have character art for the NPCs, and have scene images to help visualise while playing with the Theatre of the Mind.

How Isaac creates a safe table
I will provide a consent form for all players to fill in before the game, and keep an updated google doc of the list of lines and veils for the group as a whole. I also incorporate Stars and Wishes when players ask for it, and make sure to have a debrief after a heavy session in order to combat Bleed. I'm very open and happy to talk about anything else that will help to make players feel more comfortable while playing in the World of Darkness!
