Vampire: The Masquerade - Izmir By Night

About the adventure

"Izmir; a glamorous city at the coasts of the Aegean, home to millions of friendly people that enjoy the beautiful university campuses, the eloquent cultural centers, elite museums, crazy night-life activities, the splendid sea - every day an adventure, every day a new, beautiful horizon. Oblivious, blissfully ignorant sheep, ours for the taking. Look down, my childer; drink in the sight of their ignorance. They are waiting for you - they don't know this yet, none of them do, but when in the borders of my domain, all these mortals are yours for the taking. Yours and mine. When you are ready, go down there; mingle, empathize, bully, seduce - do whatever it is that gives you the thrill of the hunt, that rush of excitement that allows you to get the best taste out of them, and then, grant them the bliss of your Kiss. Their blood is yours, my progeny; take as much as you desire, satisfy thine Hunger to your undead heart's content - but without killing them. Your humanity is now a steep height that you can only fall from, and if you fall too far, you may never get back up. Keep hold of it, be true to yourselves, and most importantly remember this: Don't. Get. Caught." Vampire: The Masquerade - Izmir By Night is a story about neonates trying to come to grips with their new monstrous nature in the Pearl of the Aegean, Izmir. A street-level political story, Izmir has a venue available for every Kindred to feed, and this has become even more of a reality with more elders having been Beckoned, but only the smartest amongst them who follow the rigid Traditions of the Camarilla can survive the night to reap the rewards. A story of personal horror, intrigue, love, betrayal and blood is at the center of our Chronicle. Will you hold tight to your Humanity in your struggle for survival, or will you enjoy the thrill of the hunt, and claim the night for yourself? The city awaits your answer.

Gameplay details

I tend to go mostly by the rules stated in rulebooks but I may occasionaly bend them or tweak them to help players feel a bit more versatile with the powers/skills they possess or increase the difficulty of encounters to challenge them. This game is going to be a balance between fast paced, often violent action and small-scale, political manuevering and personal intrigue. I will be providing you with a Lines and Veils PDF document, and we will be going over all the topics listed under content warnings, as well as any potential topics that might have been missed out on to ensure that you comfortable playing at my table. We will take the time to talk about scenes that might have been rough for a player or their character after the game to ensure everyone will be leaving feeling good. At any point, if you wish to use one of the safety cards, you can use the Discord call emotes to signal all of the group as well as sending me a message, and I will immediately take proper measures.

How will character creation work

We will go through character and coterie creation together as a group during Session 0; where we will create a relationship map to define how each character knows each other, who else they know in their private lives, which part of Venice they control and in what manner. You can write me a brief, informative text about your character concept, and tell me what types of story beats you are hoping to hit with the said concept. If you are unfamiliar with Vampire or a beginner, fear not; we can brainstorm together to create a memorable character that you will all enjoy witnessing their developments.
