We have our first After-Party, and it’s a great example of how to use the zoning rules to create appropriate content for an After-Party. Remember, while this example includes sexuality, the zoning rules are not limited to risque material!

The Bacchanal

DR NY July 21, 2023

Friday night of Honor’s Fall is the Bacchanal… a big party before everyone makes final preparations for Saturday night’s conflicts.

DR NY July 20, 2023

This year at Honor’s Fall, we’re adding a “new” tradition to our Game of the Year: After the Bacchanal, we’ll encourage players to host After Parties. An After Party is a player-created event after the Bacchanal, meant to keep the party going and enhance the experience for everyone involved. Since this is a new event, we wanted to make sure you had guidance on how to organize your After Party.

Family Politics

DR NY July 5, 2023

Every year at Honor’s Fall, the politics of Requiem shuffle as the 13 Families struggle for power - and take each other’s heads. Being a Family Head means being hunted during Honor’s Fall, and the result of that hunt influences who controls Requiem and the Fold for the next year. The Treaty of the Fold lays out the requirements for Honor’s Fall but leaves a lot of room for interpretation. However, we want to make out-of-character expectations clear, as well as clarify the in-character game.

Dogs of War Recap

DR NY June 20, 2023

It began in the dark and rain, it ended with a literal bang. The people of the Fold started on the outskirts of Requiem and fought inch by bloody inch until they had reclaimed their town. But while the Nostra army lies defeated, their leader, Lupa, still has cards she has yet to play, and with Honor’s Fall looming, her story is far from over.
