Category:General Documentation

Here you will find the overall errata and setting for the game, as well as other general documentation.

Miami By Night has 4 sect games that share the same continuity, where vampires, shifters, and changelings exist within the same city and have the rare chances to encounter each other, even if they don’t know it.

We host gameplay for Vampire (Camarilla and Anarch sects), Werewolf (Fera included!), and Changeling. We emphasize cooperative storytelling, with a focus on Character vs Environment (CvE) - style play and the themes of personal horror. While we allow CvC play, it is not a focus of the game and will be encouraged to coordinate outside of gameplay to ensure the players are enjoying the scenes and storylines.
