The NYC Chronicles

GM RenanWild · 5/4 players · posts Weekly

VtR 2nd edition game, NYC year 2000. Highly character/story focused.

New York City, a vibrant yet dark place in the year 2000, a metropolis pulsating with life, culture, and secrets hidden within the shadows. In this sprawling urban landscape, where towering skyscrapers pierce the night sky and the echoes of the city's heartbeat resonate through its alleys, a different kind of existence thrives. Amidst the bustling crowds and shimmering lights, creatures of the night, known as Kindred, navigate a complex web of politics, power, and eternal hunger. As the millennium turns and the dawn of a new era approaches, ancient rivalries simmer, clandestine alliances form, and the city's undead denizens scheme and plot in the eternal pursuit of dominance and survival. Welcome to the stage where mortals and immortals dance on the knife's edge between life and unlife, where every shadow conceals a secret and every ally may be a foe in disguise. Welcome to the world of darkness, where the city that never sleeps holds its darkest secrets close, and where the undead reign supreme, or do they?

About the Game:

- This is a revival of a table I tried running around a year ago, and due to life wasn't able to.

- This will be a "light on the rules" game, it will be more focused on interpretation rather than rules;
- As usual, the narrator word is final, you may ask and argue but don't start a fight. (even though i'm not a tyrant, sometimes some things need to be settled);
- This is a cooperative effort to play a nice game for everybody (narrator and players).

- This game will be highly inter-creatures, even though pcs will all be kindred expect to meet mages, werewolves, beasts and more. You may lean into this as much (or as little) as you want in character creation, I have a TON of NPCs in the game that you can somehow be related to, and feel free to create new ones.

- This game has a cartoonish/cliché gothic 90s/early 2000s look, but the idea is to have a somewhat mature plot.

About Me:

- I've been playing and narrating NWoD for over 10 years now, and my favorite line of games is Vampire the Requiem, might be an unpopular opinion, but I actually prefer it over VtM (even though I love VtM). I'm not a rules advocate and generally go by the rule of cool, and as long as what is going on is fun, I'm 100% into it!

- This will be my first dabble in VtR 2nd edition, I've played a bit of Beast before, but bear with me, this will be a learning experience!

Expectations:

- I'm looking for at the most 4/5 players.

- I'll be approving and choosing players on the get go, so the end of the advertisement is more of a guideline than anything else.

- I don't expect more than 1 post a week, if we can do it, cool, if not, cool too.

- Interpretation is key here, so highly interpretative posts/backgrounds are more than welcome, are encouraged.
