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.
September Game Recap
September 17th, 2024
September, 9/14
- The Sabbat of the area were approached by Amari Zantosa with a request to obtain specific samples of blood which he intended to use to create his specialized drinks for the upcoming Palla Grande.
-Several local Cainites investigated the magical items recovered from their recent victory over the infernalist, and it was decided that the demonic relic they recovered would be destroyed.
- A group of the city’s Cainites ventured to the site where the infernalist Peter Hammond was slain, in search of the two missing Cainites that had been intended as ritual sacrifices. There, they encountered imps being controlled by corrupted Lupines through the use of odd, mystical collars. After defeating the imps, the Cainites recovered a Mirror Prison containing the two missing Cainites as well as two unidentified ghouls and a Risen. The Sabbat members (Trent Jackson and Snaptooth) were woken up, fed the ghouls, and sent on their way.
- Priscus Isabella Flores made an appearance and relayed that she would be moving into the area, after some time in the greater Massachusetts region.
- The local Sabbat decided to take action against the aggressive Lupine behavior. After scouting several areas suspected of housing Black Spiral Dancers, they strategized and launched an assault on a tunneled quarry. The five Lupines present were slain, and their pack totem (A large bird made of blood) was imprisoned within the glove of one of the Cainites to serve as a fetish.
- The group of Cainites returned to esbat to discover that a demon had attacked two members of the diocese while they were away, leaving one with Stigmata markings in his hands.

May 6th, 2024
I hope everyone's excited for this month's session of Dark Colony: New Haven!

Having made a new ally in the old Tzimisce librarian Catalina, the New Haven's hopes for uncovering exactly what the agents of the infernal were trying to keep hidden have been preserved.

April Recap
April 15th, 2024
April 4/13
- Something occurs among the agents of the Black Hand which is internal to them and occupies much of their time for the evening.
- Those with prophetic powers receive a vision during the time of the eclipse, which coincides with the earthquake that happened simultaneously.
- The pyramid in Rockville, CT was investigated in an attempt to locate old Harpy records from Hartford’s time as a Camarillan city.
- Amari Zantosa revealed that a long-dormant Elder of his clan, Catalina Dascalu, had awoken, and that her ancient library might hold information the players sought regarding the recent infernal activity.
- A group of PCs investigated the abandoned Chantry that Nemesis had been located in, and they found documents noting the names of former Chantry members. Their plan is to narrow down which might be alive, and track them down to determine whether any of them are the individuals who laid the cursed necklace upon their Gargoyle compatriot.
- Catalina Dascalu’s manor was assaulted by Black Spiral Dancers, and the players mobilized to fend them off. They arrived on the scene and split into groups to help defend the elder and prevent her library from being burned to the ground. In the end, Catalina was defended, but her manor was in severe disrepair. The library was in tatters, and PCs reported a group of demons scouring the library for a particular book during the mayhem. These demons reportedly departed with the book they located, but while it may take some time, Catalina has implied that she can recoup some information about it once her library is back in order.

Join us this weekend to find out what those might be.
