Chimerical Realm

Vampire is a role-playing game in which the players take on the role of vampires in the modern world (Masquerade) or the medieval one (Dark Ages).  Various supernatural entities exist, and their struggles take place in the shadows. Vampires, in particular, take care to not be noticed by humans, as they are vulnerable during the day. In the Dark Ages, this is a crude and brutal “Silence.” In the modern days, this requires a more delicate and subtle “Masquerade.” There are six main versions of Vampire . Four for Masquerade ( 1 st , 2 nd , Revised , and 20 th Anniversary ) and three for Dark Ages ( Vampire:Dark Ages , Dark Ages: Vampire , and Dark Ages 20 th Anniversary ), with an official 5 th on its way. There’s not a huge difference between the editions (though I talk about some of them here ), and I tend to mix them all together. All in all, any such differences are slight, and more a matter of preference.

A World Lit Only by Fire Great World of Darkness Chronicle Clash of Wills ( Written by Steve Miller, developed by Justin Achilli, and illustrated by Leif Jones, with cover art by Dan Brereton.) For the first story in "The Great World of Darkness Chronicle" I will be playing Clash of Wills . Spoilers , naturally, follow. The story in question involves a group of British vampires dispatched by Mithras, the Prince of London to the small County of Galtre. It's monstrous and aged Earl is dying, and planning to will his lands to the church. As the British church is controlled by Mithras' rivals, he desires the lands to pass to the Crown. The players have been dispatched to see that Mithras' will is enacted. First of all, I will be making a few changes to the established setting.  I want to incorporate as much of my ideas on how to redo the Long Night as possible given the module-focused nature of this campaign. To summarize quickly, the Dark Ages are a time...

"A plan is just a list of things that don't happen." Parker The Way of the Gun Before I begin this mammoth undertaking, I want to spend a few moments collecting my thoughts and figuring out exactly how I intend to do the "Great World of Darkness Chronicle." It's easy to get lost with something like this, and having some rough guidelines will hopefully help keep things clear for everyone. Obviously, these are just my current thoughts, and they will naturally evolve as I get a better grasp of what it is that I hope to accomplish with the Chronicle. If I start straying too far from this, I'll stop to make clear what I'm changing and why. So, in no particular order, here's where I'm currently at.
