12 Months of Vampire: the Requiem

You're not safe in the shadows...

In 2011, I ran a two-year Vampire: the Requiem campaign called "The Dark Before Dawn".  I am now considering re-launching it with a one-shot that will lead to a twelve-month campaign with the option for further seasons should it remain popular.  This campaign will focus on the unlives of the Ordo Dracul and those few vampires who survived the shadow-ridden purge of the 2014 "praxis seizure" struck the vampire court a hideous blow and unleashed an onslaught of strange light-sensitive entities into Adelaide.  To make matters worse, the rules behind being a Kindred within Adelaide have changed (i.e. the God Machine rules are now in effect).

The campaign will be set shortly after that point where the local Kindred have to start picking up the pieces, having retreated to the Ordo Dracul stronghold on Quarantine Island.  All new characters need to be members of the Ordo Dracul though players of existing characters from the earlier campaign can retain their characters so long as they're willing to be under Ordo Dracul administration.  All non-Ordo Dracul NPCs will be cut off from the rest of the court until rediscovered and then will likely continue focusing on their own business.

The game will be set firmly in the occult mystery genre though there will still be political positions and benefits to encourage a reasonable amount of politics within the game.  Bear in mind, though, that in such dangerous times there will likely be PC-generated backlash against those who play the political game too overtly viciously (though a lot can be done with subtlety) and the Ordo Dracul punish those who kill their covenant-members without going through proper procedures.

If you have never played Vampire: the Requiem before or simply haven't read that deeply into the Ordo Dracul before, don't worry.  Presuming we have enough interest for this to go ahead, there will be a pre-game workshop where we will determine the basics of the covenant together, including the shared haven, character ties, boons, etc.
