Library of the Macabre

About the adventure

"Greetings. Welcome to my Library. On its shelves in its books are numerous stories. All of them wonderful and terrifying. Explore them freely, but with the knowledge that doing so is not without risk. For you see, by becoming a part of the story you risk never leaving it should the choices and decisions you make turn out to be the wrong ones. Fancy a read?" Players will be normal people finding themselves involved in some not normal events. Most of those events will have supernatural or horror elements to them while others may be more lighthearted. Each adventure plot is independent of the others with the Library being the common thread between them all. Sometimes, the characters will get to be themselves, while at other times they will pretend to be other people. The genre of the game, between story adventures, will also change now and again. While the main element is supernatural/horror, the genre that that supernatural/horror takes place in will vary. This is a campaign that uses the World of Darkness game system, but is not itself a part of the World of Darkness. This campaign is intended for mature audiences and will contain mature subject matter. Any listed content warnings are a possibility, but are not guaranteed to be present either all the time or even at all.

Additional Details

How to prepare

As this game is on Discord, players will need a microphone so that they can communicate with the Storyteller and the other players. If a player wishes to use their webcam, they are free to do so, but are not required to do so.

What I provide

I have access to World of Darkness, mostly Vampire: The Masquerade, supplements for building the characters. I can also provide to any player who wishes it a blank character sheet.

Gameplay details

At the end of each game session, I will check in with the players to make sure that any of the content that transpired in that session was not found to be triggering or offensive. Granted, if something happens and a player wishes to voice any issues the moment it happens, they are encouraged to do so. I do not want any player to feel uncomfortable at any time.

How will character creation work

Players will create a normal human being using the standard World of Darkness game system. A character will not have any special powers or abilities by default. Ideally, I would like to work one-on-one with each player to build their character prior to the start of the game. Characters should be able to work with a group.

Players can expect

• Find a game to join solo or search for a professional game master for you and your friends/coworkers/family.
• Book your session and wait for the Game Master to approve you.
• If you don't have a blast with your first game, your next game is on us.
