Venn who likes vampires and mechsploitation

It's a weird Vampire-shaped hole that also talks about Mechsploitation.

Venn | she/they | Chicago | Kink | Polyamory | Ventrue | 🏳️‍⚧️

I'm a Vampire freak and forever ST/DM/GM. I run Vampire LARPs and other LARPs in Chicago and I play a whole bunch of others! I'm an event planner for my work, and that bleeds into my hobbies.

And also I'm into Mechsploitation now. Handler. Cosplay incoming.

Some of my weird OCs:

Friction (she/it), a City Gangrel Sabbat Path of Cathari girlproblem who drives cars too fast and snorts citric acid. Pictured above.

Horus (any), a Ventrue French restauranter who would be better off being a pro-dom, but instead fulfills themself by being an autocratic populist. At one point, this took the shape of being Prince. Pictured below.

And they'll say we were Toreadors.

THE FALL OF SCHREKNET

A 3-shot immersive virtual LARP played via live IRC chat where you're every keystroke is in-character.

Fall of SchreckNet is a virtual 3-session Vampire: The Masquerade LARP which depicts last days of SchreckNet, the secret Vampire internet, in 2004. It is an immersive game which is done solely via IRC chat with settings to make it truly feel like you are a Nosferatu watching your world burn down through your CRT monitor.

This LARP will run for one month, consisting of three sessions total on three consecutive Wednesdays in 2026...

April 15th | Just Another Wednesday

April 22nd | Something Is Wrong

April 29th | The Wheels Come Off

Games will run from 8:00 PM CDT to 10:00 PM CDT.

This game is virtual and does not have an in-person component.

Applications are due on March 8th, 2026.

What You'll Do

You'll explore your character's relationship with their online peers as the fabric of SchreckNet threatens to buckle under the weight of internal and external pressures. You'll intentionally reach out to other characters and grapple with the emotional stakes of losing a shared love. You'll play three sessions of LARP; this will be done through an IRC client. You'll install a filter to make your computer look like a CRT. You'll put on your biggest hoodie. You'll turn off the lights. You'll immerse yourself in a tactile experience where everything in the IRC is in-character. Think: ARG. You'll decide how a democratic online community responds to intrusions. You'll build relationships with your fellow users, investigate suspicious activity, and try to stave off the inevitable.
