London is burning and they're on the run. Destitute, low on blood, and out of gas, four kindred escape the Second Inquisition only to find themselves shunned by the cloistered Camarilla of Manchester. But after their new haven is burned down by a rival coterie, these neonates show the city that they messed with the wrong bloodsuckers.
Join the full cast of Darker Days Radio for the very first live play of Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition! We explore Manchester by Night, explain and demonstrate the finalized rules of V5, and, if luck would have it, escape our Ascension Night alive.
