A Vampire: The Masquerade crash course from Finlay
Playing a new game system and exploring new stories is a blast. The anxiety that comes from learning a new game system, not so much.
We have an exciting one shot with Finlay coming up called Down and Out in Hell and London. Finlay sets the scene like this:
“London, 1888. Over a thousand years of history have grown the city into a burdened heart, pumping blood into industrial progress, brave new ideas and the arteries of Empire across the world. Beneath the sickness, the smog and the fumes of a city replacing its quaint essence with iron, steel and coal, something insidious lurks... Vampires have lived in plain sight for generations beyond even the oldest of memories, pulling strings, controlling the flow of kingdoms and fighting between worlds old and new. There is an art, for most vampires, to keeping their presence obscure and hidden. One uncharacteristically bitter August morning as the sun licked gory streaks across the fog, a whistle blows. Something seemingly insignificant has happened that could not just expose the vampire world, but threaten all vampire kind fatally... you must not let that happen at whatever cost. ”
Sounds pretty exciting right? But you’ve never played VTM before? Don’t worry about it. Not only is Finlay an excellent storyteller and impeccably dressed, he’s also organised. he’s prepared some really helpful resources for you if you’re thinking about booking onto the session and don’t know where to begin.
