2025 V5 premise

Vampire: The Masquerade

Two decent-sized cities an easy night ride apart. Maybe in the American West for the desolate / Western aesthetic. A Prince in each. Neither of them all that well backed, but thinking of taking the other down.

Somewhere for young upstarts and orphans to slip between the cracks.

This is intended to be newbie-friendly, so might just be thinking this in order to have a slightly different setup.

Last time I changed things up significantly was Last Dance where the band focus led to a hangout game and that wasn’t really planned and only happened after all the new players left before we started.

Vive’s historical setting is a nice change of pace as well, but the kind of thing that benefits from being a second game at least.

I could borrow from City Of Angels and present an anarch domain in need of a new way, but that might be too... upbeat.

And first games can still be tricky no matter how straightforward I try to be, as players latch on to different parts of the setting. Anarchs? Camarilla? Autarkis? Yes, no. maybe?
