Welcome to the Modern Enigma Society
Nationally-Connected

Roleplay Games
The Modern Enigma Society is a nationally-connected live-action roleplaying (LARP) group specializing in games set in the World of Darkness, telling stories in a welcoming, inclusive environment.
Currently, we’re running games of Vampire: the Masquerade, Werewolf: the Apocalypse, and Chronicles of Darkness all across the United States and online. With our network of interconnected domains playing as part of a series of national games, your character’s actions can impact the game across the country, and you can collaborate with new friends from different regions to tell stories that are larger-than-life. Our Discord server is a great place to get to meet other players and find a game near you!
Whether you’re here for Vampire LARP, or want to play Werewolf or any of our other offerings, we’re excited to welcome you into our stories in the World of Darkness… and beyond.

End to Dawn is our latest Vampire: the Masquerade LARP chronicle. Focused around the night-to-night survival and monstrosity of vampires in a world with rapidly-evolving technology and ever-increasing surveillance, the threat of hunters has never been more high-stakes.
It runs on the Laws of the Night 2 ruleset, which has rules available for free. If you want to buy the rulebook, it’s optional, but is available as a PDF, with the physical book available on the same site.
In 2011 it began with a rumor… In 2012 it escalated to a fact… We’ve been dealing with the fallout ever since.
The Age of Apocalypse raged across the world with no ending in sight. Garou, Fera and their kin were still fighting for their futures across every battlefield they could. The facts of the matter though, were that they were losing, falling behind their enemies and the war of attrition wasn’t doing them any favors.
We’re human, remember that.
You saw something, experienced something, and it changed you. It is different for each of us. Gary saw a ghost when he was twelve that helped him with his homework. Sal was bit by a vampire at a rave, and they dated for, like, a year. Kia walked through a weird door and was lost in a magical thicket for a week. And Jonathan, well, his family was torn to shreds by werewolves. I never said that what happened to you was good. But… It happened.
And nothing has ever quite been the same since. You got a glimpse of the supernatural that lurks on the other side of the carefully curated reality that is our everyday life. Did you try to tell someone about it? I bet you did. And they thought you were crazy, right? Well, you ain’t. There are things out there that are mind breaking, and weird, and fascinating, and they really do not want us to know about them.
But there is more to it than that. It isn’t just knowledge. You’re still human, but now… now you are something more too. You’ve been touched by the supernatural. We each developed some new ability, some odd bit of power, related to whatever supernatural experience interrupted our lives, and frankly, that’s usually just the start. Psychometry, telekinesis, dream walking, seeing spirits…. There’s some real weird paranormal shit you might pick up. But you’re still human, remember that.
And you’re not alone.
