Dark Colony: New Haven - Bad Moon Rising
Welcome to New Haven.
Worse than it's real world sister, New Haven in the World of Darkness is an awful, destitute city overrun with drugs, gang violence and police corruption. The jobless and uneducated whisper about urban legends of human trafficking and organ thieves. Every now and again, someone says they saw something but it's never long before that person stops talking about it or is found later. mutilated almost beyond recognition and left out for all to see in the morning. This is a place where everyone is afraid and no one makes it out.
Some Additional IC Info [Here].
OOC
Don't forget about Goons and Influence!
Expect to see use of the Hordes rules as well.
The Packs
Elm Haven Dynasty - The pack has seen better nights. With the loss of their Ductus Snaptooth in an Monomancy years ago they have slowly fallen to the wayside as newer packs emerge and take over the city. The Ductus, Trent is a Toreador Antitribu on Path of Orion and some could say he will die soon to something he cannot fight.
Kool Kids - Made entirely of demented child embraces, this pack tends to unnerve even the most stone cold Sabbat in the city. They come and go as they please, often dragging along their hapless pet ghoul "Miss Teacher" and play ultra-violent Games of Instinct. Their Ductus is a mysterious Cainite named "AntiChris" who who is regarded by locals with a degree of infamy. In recent nights they have seen their numbers all but disapear due to actions taken in Hartford. Only two of them survived and they have started building their numbers back up once again.
Lickity Split Posse - Harkening back to the heights of ICP popularity, this pack of rejects has managed to corner much of the heroin game in New Haven and does surprisingly well for themselves. They're obnoxious and aggressive, comprised primarily of Brujah Antitribu and Tzimisce. Members of the pack carry a signature hatchet and tend to wear face paint to formal occasions, especially Monomacy.
The Midnight Ride - These Gangrel Antitribu and Panders keep watch of the train station. They're a loyal Sabbat pack with years of service. Unfortunately they had a feud amongst themselves a few years back and during a particularly trying time most the pack was destroyed. They are recovering still and have since buried the hatchet on the feud to help the Sabbat as a whole.
The Shadow Aristocracy - Wealthy and powerful group of Cainites who were once tied to the former Archbishop Edward Rowlands. This pack is rarely seen since his betrayal, preferring to avoid what they consider sad remnants of the once glorious New Haven force. Their Ductus is Ramona Suarez, the daughter of a once infamous cartel who follows the path of Cathari.
The Others
The Zantosa Revenants - Owners of the most popular Esbat location in New Haven (Toad's Place), the Zantosa family keeps New Haven in good spirits, providing a wide assortment of part favors and generally looking out for the local Covens. As a rule they do not take sides in most Sabbat conflicts instead providing support for diplomatic solutions.
August Game, 8/8
August 6th, 2026
Hi everyone!
Get ready for the next session of Dark Colony: New Haven, this Saturday, August 8th!
In light of the mortal archbishop Marcus Santini's embrace, the Catechism has been thrown into chaos. In their absence, reports of shambling corpses and hauntings are on the rise. The Avernian Gates still hold many mysteries, not least of which is what lies beyond. Could it be related to the rising dead? Only investigations will reveal the truth.
Once again, game will be held at the Masonic Lodge in Southington (76 Main St, Southington, CT 06489). Doors open at 7pm, and Game-on is at 8pm.
June Game
June 11th, 2026
Get ready for the next session of Dark Colony: New Haven, this Saturday, June 13th!
In the wake of the Nosferatu elder's absence in the sewers and tunnels below the city, deep rumblings have been felt across the city of New Haven. Meanwhile, countless eyes have been watching the Avernian Gate discovered in the city's oldest graveyard, and what they have seen is a perpetual host of individuals called to it over the course of the month, though the efforts of the diocese have kept them at bay... for now.
Once again, game will be held at the Masonic Lodge in Southington (76 Main St, Southington, CT 06489). Doors open at 7pm, and Game-on is at 8pm.

May Game
May 3rd, 2026
Get ready for the next session of Dark Colony: New Haven, this Saturday, May 9th!
With the Shepherds reeling from their manipulation at the hands of a demon several months before, and Catechism still navigating their loss of the Shield to the forces of darkness, Marcus Santini is growing bolder in his bid to purge the city of its unholy captors. He is pulling all the strings he has at his disposal, whether they condemn him for it afterwards or not.
Once again, game will be held at the Masonic Lodge in Southington (76 Main St, Southington, CT 06489). Doors open at 7pm, and Game-on is at 8pm.

February Game, 2/14
February 10th, 2026
Get ready for the next session of Dark Colony: New Haven, this Saturday, February 14th!
The Shepherds have been pushing into other gangland territories in New Haven, and the friction this has caused has begun to bleed into the more affluent parts of the city. With Valentine's Day approaching, the city's elite have grown concerned enough about their safety during the holiday that they've enlisted the local police force to crack down on violent crime... in a violent way.
Once again, game will be held at the Masonic Lodge in Southington (76 Main St, Southington, CT 06489). Doors open at 7pm, and Game-on is at 8pm.
December Game, 12/13
December 9th, 2025
Get ready for the next session of Dark Colony: New Haven, this Saturday, December 13th!
New tags are going up all throughout the New Haven area, spray-painted on alley walls, bus terminal glass, night club bathrooms, and other, similar seedy areas. Word on the street is there's a new gang in town, and they're called the 'Shepherds'. Those among the Sabbat find these tags oddly familiar: a single circle with a line carved through the center.
Once again, game will be held at the Masonic Lodge in Southington (76 Main St, Southington, CT 06489). Doors open at 7pm, and Game-on is at 8pm.

October Game
October 3rd, 2025
Get ready for the next session of Dark Colony: New Haven, this Saturday, October 11th!
With the threat of hunters poking into the Sabbat's affairs and an ex-Sabbat infernalist lurking in the background, the Diocese is taking some time to remember what being a Cainite is all about. Palla Grande is here, and the Sword is going into celebration mode with ritae and frivolity abound!
Because our normal game site is unavailable this month, game will be held at the 2nd Bridge Brewing Company (642 Hilliard St, Manchester, CT 06042 ). Arrive when you like, and Game-on is at 8pm.
As a special notice, we will have use of the bar area, the backroom, and outside to roleplay, but the location will be in operation while we play which means there will be patrons present who are not involved in the game. I encourage you to drink responsibly, but know that if you get out of hand you will be asked to leave.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please let me know.
