New Campaign - Vampire the Masquerade 5th Edition: Fall of London
In the year 2012, London comes to a turning point as the ancient Cult of Mithras stirs to action, calling forth lost agents to do its bidding once more. These Heralds of the Sun will bring chaos, uncertainty, and above all, change to the Kindred of this historic city - who will rise and who will burn?
On the other side of the dawn, humanity begins to peer into the shadows as never before. It is terrified by what it sees, and arms itself with faith and firearms. What happens when the Worst-Case Scenario seems to be on its way?
This will be a limited duration chronicle (shooting for 6 months) based on the published Fall of London book for Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition. Familiarity with V:tM overall is helpful, but it serves as an excellent introduction into 5th Edition and the modern state of the World of Darkness.

Introduction to Hollows
Hollows puts you as hunters diving into nightmare realms to slay others' personal demons. Armed with grim tools, you battle gargantuan entities while bearing a curse—you'll rise from death until eventually becoming a nightmarish Hollow yourself. This tactical combat RPG delivers many-versus-one boss fights where hunters win through clever cooperation. Each kill grants new abilities, with permanent powers unlocked by bathing in the blood of a Hollow's Lord. All experience levels welcome.
Introduction to Curseborne
You are one of the Accursed, supernatural creatures lurking in the boundaries of the world. Tied into powerful familial curses, you accept and reject them in equal measure, working with your fellow Accursed to carve out a place in the bedeviled nights. Be the first to play the new dark vision of horror by Onyx Path Publishing.
Curseborne is a game about being unapologetic monsters in a world where being monstrous is the least of your worries. In Curseborne, you play as Accursed, descendants of monstrous lineages lurking in a modern world that closely resembles our own. You rebel against the ancient feuds between these entwined families, as well as against the web of curses that bind you, while fending off inhuman antagonists seeking to claim — or reclaim — your power.
Players of all levels welcome, pre-gen character sheets provided.
