Vampire the Masquerade 5e: Sympathy For the Devil Session 0a - Character Rundown, Setting, Mechanics

We're playing vampire! Be careful, this one's a fuckin' doozy. Lots of very bad things going on, the content warning will explain it all. This time, Ape, Chloe, and Cat all explain their various vampire characters, we explain some basics of the setting, and we get some good stuff going for a game about what it means when you suddenly and violently become a monster. CONTENT WARNING: We are playing Vampire: The Masquerade. VtM only half-romanticizes vampires, and a large portion of the game is about exploring just how much of a monster you're willing to become. Since this game deals with heavier issues than most games we tend to play on this podcast, I am issuing content warning for the following subjects: Blood, violence, body horror, abuse of all forms, issues of consent, torture If you feel uncomfortable to listening to any of these subjects, please tread lightly, and we won't blame you for skipping this campaign if you do.
