A reckoning is upon us…
Whispers in the dark speak of many terrible things.
That Augustus Giovanni has been slain…
That the Anziani have either been murdered, or forced into hiding…
That the Mausoleum in Venice has been overtaken by brutal Spectres and has been lost to the Family…
Yes, whispers abound of a betrayal within the ranks of La Famiglia Giovanni, and of an uprising from elements both within and outside of it’s ranks…
For many amongst the myriad Clans of Death, it seems as though now is the time to bring the Giovanni and their branch families to their knees, to count coup and make them answer for their own sins, and those of their forebears. The only thing staying their hands are the increasing rumors of Wraiths defying their masters, of angry Spectres sweeping through havens in the night - or by day - destroying practitioners of Necromancy regardless of their lineage.
You have been summoned here for a purpose…
Through unknown means, a letter has found it’s way into your hands - be it via a dead drop that you believed secured, or slipped beneath the door of your own haven. It informs you, and your allies, that your presence is required at Alden Castle, located in Boston, MA, to participate in a gathering that will decide the future of the Clans of Death. The signatory of the letter is one Ferrucio Cesare Giovanni, who calls himself the Hand of the Capuchin - and should you have elected to initially refuse the invitation, you’ve been paid a visit by the Capuchin itself to indicate that your attendance, in particular, is not open for debate.
Will you cling to tradition, or embrace change?
Giovanni: The Family Reunion is a consent-based (Nordic-style) LARP taking place across two evenings at Midwinter Gaming Convention 2023 in Milwaukee, WI. Produced by Cerberus Interactive Media - the team that brought you Exeter By Night: Welcome To The Succubus Club last year, The Family Reunion is intended to be a game of political and social intrigue wherein players will select a character from among the myriad members of the Clans of Death, and decide their futures as they transition from being fractured and at-war disparates into the unified collective that is the Hecata.
Your Hosts
