Shadows of Paris

About Shadows of Paris

Shadows of Paris is a freeform roleplay server for Vampire: The Masquerade V20, set in 1994 Paris under the rule of Prince François Villon. The server operates as a living world where players create original characters across the game's clans and factions—Camarilla, Anarch, Sabbat, and others—each with their own political agendas and goals within the city. Your character concept goes through staff approval before play begins.

Once approved, you engage with the world through freeform roleplay scenes with other players and interact with Storyteller-controlled NPCs who inhabit the setting. Staff run events that drive the larger narrative forward, and you can participate in them or create your own story arcs. The mechanical framework supports the game without bogging down roleplay, letting you focus on character development and faction play.

This is for players who want collaborative narrative-driven Masquerade play where your choices and scenes actually shape the world. It suits people interested in political intrigue, character depth, and working within an established setting rather than running their own campaign solo.
