Alessandro Abbadelli, 7th gen Lasombra and a Sabbath Bishop on a path of Power and Inner Voice. Atheist and hates religion, but enjoys forcing people and kindred to confess their sins in order to manipulate them after. Absolute power whore for whom it is never enough. Probably Vergil’s best friend. Probably Littlefinger’s (more) evil twin brother. But definitively an asshole.
I just published Detroit by Night, a city setting supplement for V20, on the Storytellers Vault! It’s $5 and 15 pages of original content (except for the art provided by STV).
The violence and urban decay of Detroit is the subject of much embellishment, but there is some truth in the stories. A city of skyscrapers and major industry, the best days and nights of the Motor City are seemingly behind it. But mortal Detroit is a paradise compared to the nightly carnage of the Sabbat. With no archbishop to govern them, surviving to sunrise sometimes depends on a pack’s collective courage, cleverness, and a little bit of chance. Most unenviable of all are the peacekeepers, the enforcers, who do what they can to control the chaos in a city of anarchy.
Storytellers using Vampire: the Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition can use this book to craft Sabbat chronicles set in modern Detroit, with a special emphasis on episodic procedural-style stories. Whether they serve an ambitious bishop, a Black Hand commander, or a visiting Inquisitor, player characters can be the agents of order and justice (or injustice), with advice on this format and its advantages and disadvantages. This supplement is best used for an action-oriented game.
Detroit by Night includes: • A list of notable NPCs in Detroit, including from the Black Hand and Inquisition; • A thorough but concise history of the Sabbat in Detroit; • An outline of the major neighborhoods of Detroit, with Cainite domains; and • Storytelling suggestions for running an episodic procedural-style game.
“Vampire: The Masquerade has moved forward, setting an example for other games as a meaningful way to address racism. Rather than restating Rule Zero, the writers have reconstructed these clans from the ground up. By distilling what makes the clans interesting, V5 has managed not only to shed these dark stereotypes, but open up the creative freedom of its world to allow for a much broader cast of characters within the established lore.”
“Paradox Interactive is bringing the development of the Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop role-playing game in-house, the company announced Thursday. The news was accompanied by a video introducing the team. The move follows the tumultuous launch of the game’s 5th edition in 2018, which culminated with the dissolution of the game’s old development team.”
Sharkmob has revealed a new type of Vampire: The Masquerade game - and it’s going to be a battle royale.
In a new update on the developer’s website outlining its upcoming projects, the studio teased two additional “highly ambitious, AAA quality projects” as well as the new battle royale, which it says will be “a thrilling take on a cult classic IP”.
I did some art for my nosferatu boyman Herbert. He had been living a life of isolation back when he first became a nosferatu. But he found something to do and companionship in computers and the blossoming internet. (It is the thing one he has in common with many Nosferatu.)
I like to stay active and engaged in art and the art/vtm community at the moment. So if you have any questions about him, for him or anything else, feel free to ask!
