Vampire The Masquerade 5E (2018)

Overview

Vampire: The Masquerade (5th Edition) is published by Renegade Games Studios and was released in 2018. It is a TTRPG-scene classic for vampire-themed games. Set in an alternative, but modern, world, called "World of Darkness". The players will step into the shoes of recently turned vampires, now thrust into the dark underworld of the vampire society. It is a storytelling game focusing on personal and political horror. Description The players, now part of "The Masquerade" have to keep their new identity a secret from the human population, while at the same time engaging with various vampire clans and factions. Managing the new reality, both in terms of new societal norms and requirements, and their vampiric hunger, will set the players on a different "adventure" altogether. System Overview & Key Features
Storyteller System (d10 Dice Pool) The system utilizes the Storyteller engine, which uses pools of ten-sided dice (d10). To resolve actions, the player adds the character's Attribute and Skill scores together to determine the total number of dice rolled. Any die showing a 6 or higher counts as a success. Rolling multiple 10s yields a critical success.
Disciplines Player characters have access to supernatural abilities known as Disciplines. These include categorized powers such as enhanced physical speed, cognitive manipulation, and physical mutation. Activating these abilities frequently requires a "Rouse Check," a dice roll that carries a probability of increasing the character's Hunger level.
Touchstones and Humanity Characters possess a Humanity rating that measures their ethical degradation. To maintain this rating, characters link themselves to "Touchstones," which are specific human non-player characters representing the vampire's surviving mortal values. If a Touchstone is damaged or killed, the player character risks a permanent reduction to their Humanity score.
Blood Potency A statistic called Blood Potency dictates the strength of a vampire's abilities. Higher Blood Potency provides numerical advantages to Discipline rolls and healing rates. However, it also imposes dietary restrictions; characters with high Blood Potency cannot reduce their Hunger by consuming animal blood or preserved human blood, requiring them to feed directly from live humans.

The City of Wastrels

Paid game Paid game
🩸Brussels is the capital of Europe. To the mortals, it’s a surreal maze. To the Camarilla, it’s a gilded cage. The year is 2016. Prince Vermeulen has wiped the court floor clean to make room for a fresh generation of neonates. You arrive in the City with a target on your back, drafted into a game you don’t yet understand. Here, your word carries weight, and your loyalty to the Camarilla is your only shield — for now. Beyond the polished marble of the European Quarter, older factions and darker mysteries are waiting. Every alliance has a price. Every secret is a weapon. Your actions will test your Humanity and shape the City. Your failures will shape your execution. How long will you navigate the corridors of power? Will you rise in the City of Wastrels or vanish from records and memories? Brussels is watching, and Brussels remembers. - Membership starts at 4.99 EUR/month via ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/hiddenson - Character creation and Session 0 are free. - LGBTQ+ and kink friendly.

Hi I'm Buff Mimic, but I also like Mimi. I'm looking for a group of 4-5 other players and a GM willing to guide us along a journey through a city of their choice in a Chronicle. We'd be using the V5 system at a base, but I'm happy to also use V20 if it's preferred in the group. Just a big thing to me is that this game will be modern nights. I've had a lot of experience with D&D, fantasy tastes of all kinds, and I'm really itching to do something in another setting.  How the game looks I imagine will be discussed between the players and GM, or potentially the GM will have a more clear idea of the chronicle they'd like to play. All I'd ask is that we're at minimum doing a game using Neonates not fledglings stuck to their sires side for a bit more character independance. That said I also don't mind "Mixed Age" games as long as we discuss it between the players. An Ancilla in the party with a Thin-blood for example sounds like it could be a pretty funny sight.   The Days we'll play are pretty flexible. For myself I can state that Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday evenings aren't the best for me, but outside of that I am quite flexible, and I'd ask you include the days you'd be free when contacting me. I'd prefer games that are 5PM EST and onwards that hover around 3-4 hours. I would like to see a longer term chronicle, something that goes until we feel it's completed or potentially something that is made up of many smaller chronicles interconnected so we'd keep our characters but the goalpost would be changing consistently.

Hello, We are a group of ttrpg players looking for one or two people to join (one of our members died, one had to step away for work). We are currently running a pathfinder, lancer, and mutants and mastermind game, we are writing a shorter vampire 20th campaign to test roleplay compatibility. Our group mainly focuses on rp, and has a mix of veteran players/dms and some that are newer. We play every Saturday, though we have a number of games that we swap between, and when life comes up we at times just hang out and play video games (we have members in eastern and central time, and play from around 4ish to 9ish Eastern with a food break around 6 that goes for 45-60 minutes). Our group is lgbtqia+ friendly. We use discord, as well as roll20 and other virtual tts at times and our age range is 24-36 currently. If interested please reach out to me on discord at .revachol, or the dm for the vampire game mongoosebaron.

Hello all, I am an experienced GM that have been running and playing many types of ttrpgs since the early 80's.  I have been running games online for sometime now and am comfortable using several VTTs as well as Discord.  I prefer to GM over being a player and have ran a variety of ttrpg systems on- and off- line. When it comes to gaiming, I can be relied on to make the schedule regularly, barring health and some holidays. While I love all sorts of gaming styles, my preferred gaming includes a mix of strong roleplaying and combat.  I really enjoy getting into character and experiencing others do the same. I live in the Pacific Time Zone and usually am avaliable during the week for gaming at 4pm or later, Sundays is special as I have a more open schedule from 8 am to midnight. My current preferred games are Marvel Multiverse,  2d20 Infinity,  and Warhammer 4th ed (in-order of perference).  I might be willing to run other games as well, but the above take priority.

Well met, stranger. I'm hiddenson. I've played different rpgs since the 90's, both as GM and as player, and I'd like to get back into it. I prefer GMing because I enjoy world building and long-term campaigns, delving deeper into the preset worlds to give them my signature flavor of horror and hardcore mechanics. My style is immersive, often choosing to play the right track at the right second for the right scene. That said, I enjoy the acting and teamwork part of playing, so I like to get the chance to do that as well from time to time. I'm also launching a paid Vampire: The Masquerade 5e soon, so I'm willing to trade seats if our tastes and playstyles match. As this is my player profile, I'd like to focus on roleplay heavy horror games. I have experience in Vampire: The Masquerade, and would love to play it and other settings of the World of Darkness. I have a lot of experience in the previous edition of Call of Cthulhu set in the Roaring Twenties, so I'm sure I can adapt to the new edition easily. Lastly, I have no experience in Shadowdark or Mothership, but I'd like the chance to try them out to round up the horror experience. When it comes to my playing style, I'm roleplay focused and lean into characters keen on knowledge and lore rather than riches. Think erudite professors, librarians looking for eldritch tomes, and tomb raiding archaeologists. When I GM, I lean towards Rule of Cool, and I favor players who invest creativity in their characters. Regarding scheduling, I'm available every week (but would prefer every other week) from Thursday to Sunday between 8pm and 2am GMT+2. Hit me up with your best message and let's tempt fate together!

Worldbuilding

LegendKeeper is a browser-based worldbuilding application and campaign management tool designed for tabletop role-playing games and creative writing. Developed independently by Braden Marshall and the LegendKeeper team, the platform functions as a collaborative digital wiki and interactive map archive. It is engineered specifically to assist Game Masters and authors in organizing lore, structuring narratives, and tracking geographical locations without the mechanical overhead of a virtual tabletop (VTT). Description LegendKeeper operates as a centralized, cloud-based repository for campaign data. Instead of providing digital dice rollers, tactical grids, or character sheets, the software focuses entirely on documentation and worldbuilding. Users construct interconnected wiki pages to detail characters, factions, and histories, which can then be directly linked to customizable, interactive maps. The platform supports granular permission settings, allowing a Game Master to selectively share specific articles or map pins with players while keeping underlying secrets hidden. Key Features Wiki and Rich Text Editor The core of the platform is a comprehensive wiki system. Users can create formatted articles using a rich text editor that includes slash-commands. The editor allows for the rapid insertion of tables, sub-pages, and formatting structures to organize campaign information in a hierarchical format. Interactive Mapping Users can upload high-resolution image files to serve as maps for their fictional worlds, continents, or cities. Game Masters can drop interactive "pins" onto these maps, which hyperlink directly to specific wiki articles. These pins can be categorized with custom tags and filtered, allowing users to isolate specific points of interest on the map. Auto-Linking and @Mentions To facilitate a heavily interconnected database, the software includes link detection and @mention functionality. Typing the '@' symbol followed by the name of an existing page or character automatically generates a hyperlink. Hovering over these links during gameplay provides a quick preview of the associated article without requiring the user to navigate away from their current page. Whiteboards The application includes digital whiteboards that allow users to visually map out relationships, family trees, or organizational structures. Users can place text boxes, page links, and images onto a free-form canvas and connect them with nodes to represent complex narrative webs. Template Management To reduce repetitive data entry, users can create and save custom page templates. A Game Master can design a standard layout for a tavern, a non-player character, or a dungeon, and instantly apply that structure whenever a new wiki page of that category is generated. Granular Privacy Controls Because the tool is designed for collaborative campaigns, it includes robust permission settings. Game Masters can hide specific wiki pages, map pins, or individual blocks of text within an otherwise public article. This allows players to read the known lore of a location while keeping the Game Master's specific session notes completely invisible to them.
