As of midnight last night, I can finally announce that next year I will be organising a series of vampire gaming events as part of the Dracula Returns to Derby celebrations.

There is a lot going on behind the scenes and I cannot wait to share with you what we have planned.

Many years ago I once drank three energy drinks at a club and was literally bouncing off the walls...

I think I can air raid sirens in the distance...

Apparently, if my instructor listens very carefully, they can hear the faint hum of a lightsaber when using the sword.

There is a reason why I get on so well with them... 😁

Peter WRAITH Allison @peterallison.net · 4d

Not yet, just the stick and sword so far.

Probably Morgan LaVey of Clan Tremere. A nightclub owner and occultist, who was more interested in his herd than musty old tomes.

"Not the research type" was his official title within the local chantry....

If you could turn into your OC for 24 hours and could live their life for one day - which one of your OCs would you want to be and why?

Katie is an amazing dungeon master and I cannot wait to see how she presents Pandora for the LARP.

Mythic Echoes @mythicechoes.bsky.social · 4d

Derby D&D's Katie is absolutely slaying as Pandora, monarch of the Orlock dynasty in our vampire LARP this weekend!

Hang on, hear me out, I have an idea...

You have theme bars and micro pub, so why not a Vampire Cafe and call it "A Bite to Drink"...

I had so much fun writing my article about Minds Eye Theatre and Vampire: The Masquerade LARPs for Secret Passages magazine.

Vampire: The Masquerade was a significant part of my formative years and remains a game that I absolutely adore.
