Since being a part of a regular Vampire: The Masquerade game, I have fully dived into all things World of Darkness. I had started watching a live play on the World of Darkness YouTube channel called New York By Night. I fell off from watching the rest of the episodes consistently, but have now gotten back into a rhythm with watching thirty minutes or so at a time. It was around this time that I saw this video called Project Ghostlight pop up on my social media. I follow Alexander Ward on various social media platforms as he’s a TTRPG player and actor who appears in New York By Night. In this announcement, he is going to be the storyteller for a new chronicle and live play series, Project Ghostlight.

Alexander Ward is one of my favorite TTRPG players to watch. In New York By Night specifically, he is so unsettling. It goes beyond roleplaying a character. His mannerisms with his vampire, Issac are creepy. He smiles abnormally wide which fits the character he’s trying to portray. I have watched bits and pieces of LA By Night which Alexander Ward is also in. I haven’t finished the series, but in the twenty minutes I watched, he acts differently as Nosferatu vampire, Jasper. If that wasn’t enough, Alexander was also a guest on Critical Role’s Candela Obscura series and his circle is one of my favorites. To hear that he will be the storyteller this time instead of a player in Project Ghostlight, I’m excited. I’m curious to see what type of story he will weave.

I have been struggling to find Vampire: The Masquerade live plays and podcasts still producing new content. I have been listening to Canada By Night which I adore, but I’m always looking for other options. I like seeing what other players do in their stories and what types of characters they create. Project Ghostlight has the potential to bring Vampire: The Masquerade more mainstream. I’d love to see more players get exposed to this game that I love so much.

I haven’t subscribed to Project Ghostlight’s Patreon yet. My hope is they will drop the episodes on YouTube as well. If they don’t, I would be open to subscribing as I don’t want to miss out on this new chronicle. If you have any Vampire: The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse or Hunter: The Reckoning live play recommendations, I’d love to hear them in the comments below.
