About the adventure
At the clinic that serves as a front for your operations, something has gone terribly wrong. When your group arrives at the scene, you find more questions than answers. Who dared to challenge your group? Uncover who is behind the heist before the consequences come crashing down on you. Welcome to the World of Darkness. In this one-shot adventures, you'll step into the shoes of a Neonate vampire surviving the nights of São Paulo—a city where ancient rivalries, hidden conspiracies, and impossible mysteries lurk beneath the surface of everyday life. Vampire: The Masquerade Fifth Edition is a game of personal horror, difficult choices, and political intrigue. These games are designed to be an accessible introduction to V5 while remaining engaging for experienced roleplayers. Whether this is your first tabletop RPG or you've been rolling dice for years, you're welcome at the table. You don't need to know the rules or the setting beforehand—all the guidance you need will be provided during play. My storytelling style is collaborative and player-driven, encouraging roleplay, meaningful choices, investigation, and character interaction in an inclusive and welcoming environment. Each session is a self-contained 4-to-5-hour story played over Discord. All required materials, including pre-generated characters, are provided, allowing you to jump straight into the action. Simply choose your vampire, gather with your coterie, and discover what awaits in the long night. Vampire: The Masquerade explores mature themes by design, including violence, horror, manipulation, and difficult moral choices. As such, these games are intended exclusively for players aged 18 and over. While our characters may be monsters, our table is built on respect, cooperation, and inclusivity—discrimination, harassment, or other disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.

About me
As a Storyteller, my approach is entirely player-centered. I firmly believe that the most memorable games happen when the narrative revolves around your characters, your choices, and your consequences. I don't run rigid, linear plots; instead, we collaborate to build immersive, character-driven stories where your actions truly shape the world around you. Whether we are exploring the epic heroic fantasy of D&D or navigating the complex personal horror and political tension of Vampire: The Masquerade, my goal is to create a welcoming, collaborative, and inclusive environment for everyone. I deeply value clear communication, patience, and mutual respect at the table, ensuring a safe and comfortable space where both newcomers and veteran players can thrive. Having experience on both sides of the screen, I structure my games around fairness, consistent mechanics, and rich roleplay. I love helping players bring nuanced characters to life, and I look forward to weaving a dark and unforgettable tale with you at the table!

Creating your character
This game uses pre-generated characters, so there's no need to create a character beforehand or own any rulebooks. Before the session, you'll receive a selection of unique vampires to choose from. Each has their own Clan, Disciplines, personality, ambitions, and relationships, giving you plenty of opportunities for roleplay while showcasing different aspects of Vampire: The Masquerade Fifth Edition. Every character is fully compatible with the story being told, and no prior knowledge of the setting or rules is required. During the session, I'll explain any mechanics you need as they come up, so you can focus on interacting with the world, and enjoying the experience.

What Tatiane Pires brings to the table
Here's what you can expect from my Storytelling style: - Player-Centered Storytelling: Your characters, choices, and roleplay drive the story. Rather than following a rigid script, I adapt the narrative to your decisions, ensuring every session feels collaborative and meaningful. - Roleplay First: While conflict is always a possibility, the focus is on investigation, social interaction, difficult choices, and the personal horror at the heart of Vampire: The Masquerade. - Beginner-Friendly Experience: Whether you're new to V5 or tabletop RPGs in general, I'll guide you through the rules as we play. No prior knowledge of the system or setting is required. - Everything You Need: I'll provide pre-generated characters, all necessary game materials, and a welcoming environment where everyone can contribute to creating a memorable story together.
Homebrew rules
We will be playing the game largely using the standard mechanics of Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition (V5) to keep things intuitive and consistent. However, I do utilize one narrative rule to keep the story moving smoothly: - The Narrative Gauge Roll: For actions or choices that significantly impact the story but aren't strictly covered by the official rulebook, I might ask you to roll a single d10. Instead of a strict pass/fail check, this roll is used to gauge the degree of your character's success—or the narrative consequences—helping us dynamically determine exactly how the scene unfolds.

Safety
How Tatiane Pires creates a safe table
Your safety, comfort, and consent are the highest priorities at my table. Vampire: The Masquerade is a game of personal horror that explores mature themes, making clear communication and mutual respect essential to every session. Here's how we'll create a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone: - Pre-Game Check-In: Before we begin, we'll briefly review the themes of the adventure, discuss expectations, and establish our Lines and Veils to ensure everyone is comfortable with the content. - Safety First: Consent is ongoing, not a one-time conversation. If a topic becomes uncomfortable at any point, boundaries can be updated immediately. - In-Game Safety Tools: If a scene ever becomes too intense, you can ask to pause, fade to black, or change direction. I'll immediately adjust the scene—no explanation required.
