Boston World of Darkness Campaigns

From Lise Fracalossi via e-mail:
Just a heads-up on some Mind's Eye Theater campaign games happening in the Boston area: there's an old World of Darkness Masquerade game and two new WoD games, Requiem and Mage. Here are the basic details for those of you who might be interested in one or the other:

Masquerade happens on the second Saturday of every month, usually from 6pm to 11pm. The next game is October 13th. It's a Camarilla game, although we have representation from many independent clans, too. It usually meets at a private residence right in Waltham, only 1-2 miles from [Brandeis's] campus.

Speaking to my personal experience playing this, I was pleasantly surprised how roleplay-focused it was, although the mechanics are there if you need/want them. Even at my first session, I had some very intense scenes. The staff is great, too, and has been very helpful in getting me set up with a character and making sure she had stuff to do, even from my first game.

If you're more interested in new World of Darkness, Requiem and Mage usually take place back-to-back on the third Saturday of each month--in fact the next game is coming up this weekend. The usual venue is the basement of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul right on Boston Common.

Things are going to be changed up a bit November-January, when we're going to try to smoosh all the games together into one Saturday, but we can fill you in on the details if you decide to join.

The usual cost is $5/game, but it's waived for new members--so you can definitely try before you buy.

There's also a website and stuff! You can find it here:

If you're interested in any of these games, contact the domain coordinator
at nhma.dc@gmail.com. He can help you get in touch with the right people for the game you're interested in.

Lise also offers to answer any questions relative to her own experience playing Masquerade games -- if you have questions, contact me, and I'll be happy to put you in touch with her.

  1. Note that usual attendance at present is ~30 folks for Masquerade, and about 20 +- 5 for the other two. :-)
