Characters

Giovanni: The Family Reunion is played using a modified setting of Vampire the Masquerade, Fifth Edition.

Players will be able to select one of a number of pre-written characters, whose factions are assigned already, with backstory blurbs, allies, and enemies so that their entry into the game is as smooth as possible.

Character selection will go live in early December 2023.
Upon character selection going live, you will be able to select your top three choices in a form that will be sent to the staff for review.

Over New Year’s weekend, we will do final character assignment via random lottery, so knowing your top three choices will help us a lot. Closer to the event date itself, you will receive a short character brief to help inform you of your character’s history and goals here, a short brief on your faction and it’s secret goals, and additional pre-built ties that we invite you to expand upon. All that we require is that you do not make changes to your character’s backstory that would greatly alter their actual position/circumstances entering the game - the Capuchin ensured everyone in attendance is here for a reason.

Players registering for tickets through the Midwinter Gaming Convention website are asked to email staff@cerberusinteractivemedia.com after registering so that we can cross reference your name with the participants list. After this, you will be invited to our event Discord for discussion, character ties, etc.

The survey will allow registrants to both view the list of characters and to choose their first, second, and third favorite options. We are not allowing players to create their own characters for this event, nor will we be allowing major changes to the backgrounds and circumstances of the characters that we have written.

For those who decide to play after the first week of January/at MGC proper, we will have a limited number of pre-made characters still available at the Cerberus Interactive Media booth. Once those are gone, however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to write additional characters on the fly for you.
