In Vein: Walpurgisnacht
Walpurgisnacht (val-PURGE-is-noct)
Walpurgis Night, literally “Witches’ Night”, was believed to be the night of a witches’ meeting on the highest peak of the Harz Mountains in central Germany. People continue to light bonfires on Saint Walpurga’s Eve in order to ward off evil spirits and witches.
Explore the lives of women who wake up one night to discover they are vampires in West Germany. Friendless and alone, how long can they survive the eternal night that lies before them? An Actual Play using the V5 rule set of Vampire, the Masquerade.
