Players should feel free to customize their characters by changing names and genders, but for the purposes of the playtest, please consider maintaining their motivations so our set pieces based around Hunger, Humanity, et al are test-ed in ways we desire. Whether through lack of financial resource, or crippling fear of the Second Inquisition and a lack of allies outside the city, most Kindred Embraced in Gary remain in Gary. This same plight constricts each of our protagonists. Most mortals who live there have no means - material or otherwise - of escape. The tragedy of these characters, and any characters living in World of Darkness Gary, is the city is a prison. This is typical of anyone living in a poverty stricken city, where just a city away, opportunities aboud, discrimination is lighter (or better concealed), and violent death is considerably less likely. Whether through the misfortune of birth in a city like Gary, long-term injury or addiction, or simply the Embrace ruining an otherwise comfortable life, all of the characters want more than their current lot. The protagonists in this scenario have all suffered in some way. The coterie is ostensibly Anarch, but each character is an individual, and players should feel free to play their roles as they see fit. Each of this scenario’s protagonists has a personal agenda, though this does not automatically make them opposed to each other. Sects matter less to these two than who has control of the domain, one night to the next.Ī separate handout details the characters for this scenario. Juggler and Modius have engaged in their private war for decades, maybe centuries now. The likelihood is, Juggler just wants a private army to call his own. Their head is a self-styled Baron going by the epithet of “Juggler.” In recent years, he has assembled neonates beneath his banner, with talk of an advance on Chicago, Milwaukee, or Indianapolis. Most vampires in Gary identify as Anarchs, but even they are a dissolute group. Kindred know better than to remain in Gary if they want to scale the sect’s slippery hierarchy.

His court is largely empty these nights, as true Camarilla. The Camarilla nominally holds the city, through the “Paper Prince” Modius. Certainly, few Camarilla vampires choose to rummage through Gary to discover the target of a Blood Hunt: knowing they’re in Gary is punishment enough.

Some Kindred make their havens in urban squalor, by misfortune of their Embrace, exile from a more opulent domain, or willingly choosing such a den of vice as a hiding place. Gary is a shit-hole, but vampires are not exclusive to the glamor of L.A. The city has held the title of “Murder Capital” more than once. Unemployment and homeless figures grow year on year.

It doesn't matter if you have never read or played through these chronicles as the characters are all pregenerated with an array to choose from.Īs with other cities in the Rust Belt of America, Gary suffered horribly from the 1960s through to the present night, as industry moved away, and nothing new came to the city to take its place. The chronicle that the test takes place in is called Rusted Veins, it continues the arc of Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust. Vampire the Masquerade 5th edition is set to come out fully later this year via their time table but I wanted to offer running the Alpha test on forum as I am planning to take notes and send in the outcomes I see to the VtM team in feedback.
