Welcome to the World of Darkness. It is a world not unlike our own, seen through a darkened lens. As the unknowing humans sleep, monstrous vampires prowl, sustaining their undead existence with human blood. Over the years, these master predators have organised themselves in a neo-feudal structure, built on bonds of blood and favor.

In this scenario, you will be portraying several of such vampires, forming a coterie (a tight-knit group of vampires) working at the behest of their undead masters to remove threats to the Masquerade.

As vampires, you can sustain damage far beyond what would kill a mortal, and have access to vampiric powers to bend as well as break those that oppose you. However, daytime is no longer yours, and sunlight burns your flesh. Human food or drink rapidly comes up again. But that pales in comparison with the Hunger: the only thing that sustains you is blood, and sooner or later, you always want more. Deny that urge and be prepared to face the consequences.

In this particular instance, your characters have been sent to hunt for a killer who might inadvertently draw attention to vampirekind. Sam Stokes, your master, is responsible for keeping a lid on things in your region, and has sent you to meet with her contact in the local police force for more details. The hunt for the monster(s) is on.

How to join

I am looking for around 1-4 players who are willing to commit to a several months long game.

Players who are new to Vampire 5e, or new to Vampire entirely are more than welcome. To apply to join, go read the Character Creation Guidelines in the Recruitment tab and follow the instructions laid out there.

Recruitment will be open until July 23rd.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have in the Pre-Game OOC chat.

This is a short scenario, but in PBP even short scenarios take a few months so if you cannot commit to that, please do not apply. Also, be aware that this game was requested by Blue Firebird in the forums, so they are guaranteed a spot.

Given that this is a shorter scenario, if we do lose players along the way my inclination would be to carry on with whoever is left rather than try and re-recruit. That being said, I am committed to finishing this scenario and will keep pushing ahead so long as at least one player is still involved.

NOTE: At the risk of sounding 'edgy', this is a game is based on a pre-written story from the company that makes WoD. It contains adult themes and asks questions like 'Who are the real monsters?' and 'How should one deal with them?'. If you are uncomfortable with scenes of violence, graphic descriptions, or portraying characters that are at least partially inherently monstrous then you probably won't have fun with this game.

With the above warning in mind, this is a game and the point is to have fun. If at any time players feel uncomfortable with the way a scene is running, please do let me know and I will adjust as necessary.
