Thir13en Ghosts:
AFTERMATH

3-5 Players; Thursday, July 30, 2026 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Mature Content: Common horror themes, Ghosts, Death, and more

Your Cell has been recruited by a mysterious benefactor to investigate the disappearance of several members of the Kriticos family. Your investigation has led you to their recently inherited mansion that your team finds itself trapped inside. Unlucky for you, you are also trapped with thirteen bloodthirsty ghosts eager to tear the living limb from limb. Their cells have malfunctioned and are set to open at random intervals and thanks to the mansion's failsafe procedure, you cannot escape until sunrise when the ghosts become inert. You have only hours to solve the mystery of the Kriticos family or disable the automated prison before something terrible happens that will spell your Cell's doom.

Session Info

GM Introduction

Hi! My name is Austin and I love the World of Darkness. VtM was the second TTRPG I ever played, and the one that I still play the most of today. I'm not a player as often as I once was. Nowadays, I primarily ST. I currently have an ongoing Vampire the Masquerade (5th Edition) and Werewolf the Apocalypse (5th Edition) game that has been going since 2020 for VtM and since the launch of the 5th edition WtA game.

 

My GM philosophy is story first. So I am not as concerned about the minutia of rules. And in fact, for Gencon 2026 I'm planning to do a pared down version of the rules to make it easier for a potential group of varrying familiarity with the game to get right into the meat of the action. So as an example, for those of you who are familiar with the rules: the Premade characters will not have a full gamut of Merits or Flaws (if any).

 

One thing that you should know coming in to this game, is that your characters will be entering into a situation that they are ill-prepared for, where they will frequently be on the back foot and fighting to survive at the same time that they are trying to achieve their goals.
