Kansas City By Night

Creating your character

We will have a Session Zero to discuss expectations from the Chronicle, Character Creation can take place at this time using ghoulapp.com, or players can create their Kindred before then if they are familiar with the system. Characters will begin as Fledgling Vampires, all Embraced within the last 3 months or so, due to the plot.

Preparing for the session

Players should join my Discord Server using this link: https://discord.gg/4SUQK4e Players will also need a Free ghoulapp.com Account to join in the game, as well as a Microphone capable of being used in Discord.

What Mythos brings to the table

My goal is to run a game where **your choices shape the city, your character’s history matters, and the world remembers what you do.** This will be a character-driven chronicle built around **politics, personal horror, mystery, ambition, relationships, and consequences**. I’ll provide the city, its factions, secrets, conflicts, and dangerous personalities—but I want the story itself to emerge from what the coterie decides to do with them. What You Can Expect From Me **A world that reacts to you.** Humiliate a rival, and they may remember it. Save someone, and you may gain an unexpected ally. Break a promise, upset a faction, expose a secret, or remove someone powerful, and the political landscape can change because of it. **Real player agency.** I prepare situations, not predetermined solutions. Violence may work, but so might diplomacy, intimidation, investigation, blackmail, favors, deception, influence, or something I never anticipated. Clever ideas and unexpected choices are welcome. **Your character will matter.** Your sire, Touchstones, convictions, ambitions, enemies, relationships, flaws, and history aren’t just character-sheet decoration. They’re potential parts of the chronicle. If you give me something meaningful about your character, I want opportunities for it to become meaningful at the table. **NPCs with their own agendas.** The people you meet won’t simply be quest-givers or obstacles. Allies have ambitions. Enemies have motives. Mentors have secrets. Friends can become liabilities, rivals can become useful, and sometimes the person you hate may be the person whose help you desperately need. **Consequences and continuity.** Decisions from several sessions ago may return in unexpected ways. Boons, grudges, favors, debts, insults, alliances, and unfinished business will matter. I want the chronicle to feel like an evolving history rather than a collection of disconnected adventures. **A strong Vampire atmosphere.** I want to lean into what makes VtM compelling: the struggle between Humanity and the Beast, the cost of power, political maneuvering, predation, secrecy, hunger, loyalty, betrayal, and the question of how much of yourself you are willing to sacrifice to survive another night. That doesn’t mean every session will be relentlessly grim. There should still be room for camaraderie, dark humor, triumph, strange friendships, and those moments when the coterie somehow pulls off something nobody expected. ### The Kind of Players I’m Looking For You don’t need to be a VtM expert. New and experienced players are both welcome. What matters more to me is that you’re interested in **collaborative storytelling**, willing to engage with the other characters, and comfortable making decisio

How Mythos creates a safe table

I utilize the Safety Deck System in Roll20, as well as an open-door policy for concerns and feedback, with a ZERO tolerance for retaliation or bullying in any way. If any concerns are brought to me, I will discuss them prior to the next session with a promise of anonymity.
