FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about what this site is—and is not.
Is Vampire Crate a subscription box storefront?
No. It is an orientation desk about vampire-centered horror and urban fantasy table craft. We do not list fake prices or inventory.
Where should a brand-new player begin?
Read Getting Started, skim the glossary, then run one hunger-aware scene with clear lines. Public primers like Vampire: The Masquerade help with lineage.
Do you host actual-play video?
Not on this domain. We point to community and publisher channels from the Resources and Community pages.
Can I reuse these articles?
Quote briefly with attribution and a link back. For wholesale reuse, email [email protected].
How do you pick outbound links?
We favor encyclopedias, official publisher pages, and established hobby blogs such as DriveThruRPG blog.
Is this affiliated with the trademark holders of every game mentioned?
Mentions are descriptive for orientation. Check each publisher's licensing pages before publishing your own commercial work.
Weekly Storyteller or rotating chair: write lines/veils, hunger clocks, and spoiler norms once.
For one night: one hunger pressure players can push, one city complication, one safe off-ramp if the table needs air.
Readable handouts, clear remote audio, and content notes before bleak scenes—craft, not extras.
One-page house rulings for hunger and secrecy calls. If a call repeats, ink it so the table trusts the process.
Talk consent, bleed, and prep load with the same seriousness you give the city map.
