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.

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 · 1d

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....

Daily OC questions @dailyocs.bsky.social · 2d

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 · 2d

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.

I love seeing backstage pics.

One of my friends is a photographer and they love taking shots of extravagant costumes in boring situations (queuing, reading a menu, etc)

We are so lucky to have Derby D&D's Katie as an NPC - she can embody any archetype of #vampire.

Yeah, it sucks. People want everything for free if they can see it on the internet.

They never see the work that goes into making art or creating something new.
