Most Esteemed Fellow Princes,

You are cordially invited to a Symposium of Southern Princes to be held at my home in the fair city of New Orleans, Louisiana from Friday, August 9th until Sunday, August 11th in the year of our Lord two thousand and two. You will be allowed to bring one or two attendants and, of course, your own personal security contingent. Please R.S.V.P. by July 31st. We have much to discuss.

With deepest expectations,

Jean Baptiste de Leon
Prince of New Orleans

Welcome to the 2002 Vampire LARP at Crescent City Con.

Jean Baptiste de Leon of New Orleans has called a meeting of Princes from East Texas to Georgia, all coming to New Orleans to discuss the Sabbat Threat. And there is a grave threat - the Sabbat encroach from the west in Texas, the east from South Carolina, north from Missouri and Tenessee, and south from Florida and Mexico. Hemmed-in from all sides, the leaders of several large cities have come to New Orleans in an attempt to discover a way to save them all. For if Dallas and Houston fall in the west, and Atlanta and Savannah in the east, all may be lost for the Camarilla in the South.

Rumors are flying - the Ventrue Justicar has recently met Final Death, and some say an Archon is currently in the Big Easy in an attempt to select his replacement. The gossips hint that the Toreador Prince of Savannah has something big she's hiding. And then there's the mysterious Prince of the Biloxi/Gulfport area. Rumor has it that the Sabbat threat there has been completely eliminated. Several powerful Kindred want to know how he did it - and if they can use the same tactics.

The city is rife with danger from without and within. Setites and Giovanni ply their trades in the night, and Lupines are rumored to stalk the area, as well as Willworkers. Several known Elders have journeyed to New Orleans in what most believe is an attempt to control the outcome of the Symposium. And just what are those Tremere up to, anyway?

We invite you to join us in a darker version of New Orleans. Perhaps you'll become the Prince of a besieged city or an underling vying for the scraps of power that fall from your betters' talons. Lure the innocent to corruption as a Follower of Set or sink your fangs into the politics that is the City of Saints and Sinners. The choice is yours, but remember - we don't guarantee you'll survive the night.
