Vampire the Masquerade Oneshot: The Monsters

In a small American town, someone is killing people and taking their blood. If it is a human being, it might draw attention to the true predators of the night. If it's Kindred, a fellow vampire, the Masquerade is in jeopardy. If it's something else...

I will be running a published one shot introductory module, called The Monsters, for Vampire the Masquerade 5e. This is specifically for attendees who could not attend the first game and were still interested.
Vampire the Masquerade is a supernatural horror game set in the World of Darkness about immortal vampires navigating power, morality, and their remaining humanity, while hiding their existence in a corrupt, modern world.

Game Info:

Who: Open Table for 4-5 players of any experience level. Beginners are encouraged, as the module is meant to teach you the rules over the course of play.

What: The location serves alcoholic drinks. Please bring (non-vertical) ID even if you do not plan to drink.
No need to bring anything else, but you are welcome to bring pencils, paper, and 10 sided dice. I will also be providing my own dice and resources for players to use as well. Players will be provided pregenerated characters specific to this module.

When: Just the Tap opens right at 11 AM. If we are able to, I have found out from last session that the game runs best at 5 hours, but they may start pushing us out at 3 PM. We'll try to begin promptly and finish early if necessary.

Where: Just the Tap Tavern has offered us their backroom to use during their opening (non-busy) hours on weekends.
Please note:

• They do not allow outside food and drink, but they have a good food and drink selection inside.
• Attendees have reported getting kicked out for having only vertical IDs before.
• There are reports they start getting antsy after the 3 hour mark and we may have to wrap up by the 4 hour mark, but please plan for 5 hours, just in case we can do so.

How: If you have any questions, please reach out to me either directly through Meetup or in the Discord server for the Seattle RPG Variety Society and send a message to me through the society events post for this game.

Game Pitch: (excerpt from published module)
Welcome to the World of Darkness. It is a world not unlike our own, seen through a darkened lens. As the unknowing humans sleep, monstrous vampires prowl, sustaining their undead existence with human blood.
Over the years, these master predators have organized themselves in a neo-feudal structure, built on bonds of blood and favor.
In this scenario, you will be portraying four such vampires, forming a coterie (a tight-knit group of vampires) working at the behest of their undead masters to remove threats to the Masquerade.
As vampires, you can sustain damage far beyond what would kill a mortal, and have access to vampiric powers to bend as well as break those that oppose you.
However, daytime is no longer yours, and sunlight burns your flesh. Human food or drink rapidly comes up again. But that pales in comparison with the Hunger: the only thing that sustains you is blood, and sooner or later, you always want more. Deny that urge and be prepared to face the consequences.
In this particular instance, your characters have been sent to hunt for a killer who might inadvertently draw attention to vampirekind. Sam Stokes, your master, is responsible for keeping a lid on things in your region, and has sent you to meet with her contact in the local police force for more details.
The hunt for the monster(s) is on.
