A short story in the Amsterdam by Night / Vampire: the Masquerade setting
Anarchs vs Camarilla is a tale as old as time. It now has taken to the streets of Amsterdam. How do both sides react?

A short story in the Amsterdam by Night / Vampire: the Masquerade setting
If you live for many years, sometimes unlife can become a bit boring. Luckily, there are always the young that can change our perspective.

#FlashFicFeb - Day 9 - Habit
A short story in the Amsterdam by Night / Vampire: the Masquerade setting
Sometimes even the smallest of gestures can betray who's behind the mask. Habits are so difficult to change, even after 13 year of being a kindred.

When something as confusing as the Embrace happens, one soothing and calm voice can be very helpful in making sense of it all. Regardless of whose voice it is.

#FlashFicFeb - Day 7 - Acceptance
A short story in the Amsterdam by Night / Vampire: the Masquerade setting
Being a thin-blood can be though in kindred society. No wonder some of them will do anything to become a full member of the all-night society. Even if that means selling out your friends.

Secrets will not stay buried for long in kindred society. And there is always someone who can take advantage of them. Especially the one that deems himself a better leader.

I focus the short stories this month on NPCs from the Amsterdam/Vampire: the Masquerade setting we've been building for over 3 years now.
The first one is about Elena, a Lasombra whose Hecata husband surprised her with a cursed gift.

Every year, I participate in #FlashFicFeb by @storytellingco.bsky.social. So for the next 28 days, I’ll be writing a short story of about 500 words.
Same as last year, I think they will all be linked to my Amsterdam by Night setting. Giving some insight in the kindred of Amsterdam.

I'll be there on Saturday to run a #vampirethemasquerade session, and I'm part of panel on TTRPG systems (other than D&D).
Looking forward to meeting old and new friends.
