Vampire: The Masquerade - The Blood Hunt

Creating your character

For this oneshot, characters are ready-made. Players will come together to choose which of the premades interest them most, and will be able to adjust and customize them further before the session start.

Preparing for the session

• Discord (Required) • The Forge Account (Required) • Microphone (Required) All the necessary material will be available on Foundry (hosted through The Forge) at all times. Players are expected to familiarize themselves with the setting and their character before the session starts. My goal is to make learning the system and its rules as easy and accessible as possible throughout the game, and I also offer one-on-one time in case extra help is needed in learning the ropes or making a compelling character that is fun for you to play.

What LeeKat brings to the table

• Foundry VTT (Hosted through The Forge) and all available game resources through it, from tokens to books and any other needed assets; • A curated selection of music and sounds to make the narrative immersive and heighten the mood of the game; • Complex NPCs with motivations, personal stories and goals; • A lively, reactive world full of secrets and narratives to explore; • A safe, friendly, inclusive and comforting environment to all players, as well as narratives that heavily feature Queer themes and characters; • The Golden Rule: above all, I value a narrative-driven, player-focused experience where we all collaborate to create a compelling and enjoyable story; Players can expect a vibrant cast of NPCs and a rich setting full of things to explore and discover. I treat my stories organically, shaped by the player's actions and desires, uncovering plot hooks as they explore and interact with the world. Every character has been carefully crafted to bring their own unique spin to the setting and offer players a vast and diverse cast to interact with, and all kinds of themes and stories to play with!

How LeeKat creates a safe table

Everything will be discussed through Discord on the days leading up to the session, covering everything that will be explored within the game and how it'll work, and we'll also use that time to get to know each other, where everyone's limits are, and how we can make this the best possible experience. This is our time to clarify any and everything about the game, characters, and expectations, and make sure everyone is on the same page. We'll use Monte Cook's checklist as the starting point for our Lines and Veils, so that everyone can keep in mind their peer's limits and preferences. I provide all safety tools through Foundry in an easy and practical way for players to communicate whether a scene needs to be paused or skipped, as well as ways to "raise your hand" if there is any need to interject and make any of your needs known. Besides the tools available to everyone, all players can privately DM me for any matters they'd rather discuss privately at any point during or after a session. Stars and Wishes as well as Aftercare is how we keep the group dynamic healthy and help each other shape the game to something is more enjoyable to everyone, exchanging feedback as needed, discussing any changes that might be required, and praising everyone for a job well done as well as making sure boundaries are respected. This is the moment where players can voice their desires for the game going forward, and I will always keep and open line of communication of any issues are needed to be discussed privately. The game is roleplay-heavy and focuses on how the characters navigate their environment and interact with the world. Naturally, that also means the focus of the story will always be the players and their desires. Regardless of "plot", it is the players who shape the narrative to their liking, and a fun story everyone enjoys is always the priority. Above all, a safe and comfortable environment for people to express themselves is the most important thing.
