Darkness Before the Light

Synopsis: A standard Vampire LARP set in the time period around the siege of the East Coast. Philadelphia had been taken by the Sabbat and the Camarilla decided to setup an outpost in West Chester, PA about an hour outside of Philadelphia. The founding Prince, a Ventrue, put out a call to Kindred to assist in the defense of the newly established city and had an adequate response. The game lasted for about three years and had many changes of Staff over that time.
