Survive as a vampire in modern day Chicago, a city run on a feudal hierarchy of the undead. Based on Vampire: The Masquerade v5 storyteller system.


Author's Note: ***WIP*** I'm brand new to creating stories with a toolset as big as F&F's. This is the updated version, but it's still actively being worked on; POIs, characters, etc. I have turned off Turn Based Combat in the Gamemaster Settings, as I personally perfer narrative combat; make sure to turn it back on if that's what you enjoy. Inspired by Shinrai's Garou Chronicles scenario; found here: https://play.fables.gg/worlds/019564df-8bfd-7c1c-8f37-3c0d0984f87e?search=
