Like most TTRPG actual-play series, Dimension 20 usually runs Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition—though they have recorded seasons where they roleplay using the Kids on Bikes and Kids on Broomsticks rules, as well as their own homebrew system. Their next season marks the first time they’ve partnered with a publisher to make official use of someone else’s ruleset and setting, as they collaborate with White Wolf and Vampire: The Masquerade for a show called City Council of Darkness.
Taking modern vampires out of their comfortable city habitat, where they have ready access to dark alleys, nightclubs, and well-stocked fetishwear outlets, is a promising premise for a fish-out-of water campaign. I see a lot of difficulties when it comes to finding highrises to brood on top of, and just generally living as a bloodsucking parasite without the faceless anonymity of a big city to hide in. “I dwell in the darkness” is all well and good, but not if you live in a town where everybody knows everybody. What We Do in the Shadows (the movie), squeezed a lot of juice out of the basic idea “what if vampires, but in little old New Zealand,” and that’s the vibe I get here.
