About the adventure
Australia has always been a forgotten bastard Childe for the Kindred, who see its isolation and unforgiving climate as major barriers to fanged tourism and expansion. But something strange is happening on the Great Southern Continent, and the Inner Circle of the Camarilla are concerned. Concerned enough to send you there to investigate. You have been tasked with travelling to Australia to uncover why the Sabbat of Brisbane have suddenly decided to start incursions to other established territories, why the Camarilla Courts of Sydney and Melbourne are fighting over Adelaide, and why the entire continent seems to have suddenly destabilised so rapidly, all under the nose of the Second Inquisition installation at Pine Gap.

About me
Hi there! I've been playing and running games for close to 20 years. Predominantly a Storyteller for Vampire the Masquerade (V5), I also enjoy D&D and other game systems. I enjoy facilitating collaborative world building with players, and making a safe space to learn how to play, explore role playing, advanced mechanics, and generally have a fun time. I really love helping people who are new to TTRPGs learn how to make a characters, what their character sheets mean, and how to translate a character sheet into fun and exciting choices in game. I'm available for custom requests! If there's a VtM setting you've wanted to explore, or if you have a group of kindred looking to celebrate a special event, I would be honoured to help craft an experience to remember. Drop me a DM here and we can work it out together.

Safety
How NephthysNile creates a safe table
A link will be sent to a lines and veils questionnaire, that is to be filled in prior to the Session 0 We will have a Session 0 prior to commencing the chronicle where we will go through lines and veils, the basic premise of the chronicle, what themes may come up, how we would like to deal with difficult subjects, building the relationship map, and anything else we'd like to cover. During each session, players can DM the Storyteller, or ask for a stop to game play. If players prefer a different safety tool, the Storyteller will look to accommodate.
