So this post is going to basically be a place to put my thoughts as I prepare my campaign for January as well as get help with some ideas. I am going to run a San Fran by night game in 5e for my group. I like canon, so, as best I can, I am going to try and update the canon. Theres a few places I am going to have to butcher and retcon some things (KOTE I am looking at you) but I think I can make it work.
First, what we know so far, let me know what I am missing
From Beckett's Jyhad diary we know that Vannevar had four options of what to do in San Fran. From LA by night we know four he selected "Abandon San Fran and go all in on Los Angeles" This means we likely have a lot of people leaving San Fran for LA.
So who is Prince? Probably Jochen Van Nuys, but who knows. How many camarilla stayed in san fran? How many left? areas I need to fill out.
Sebastian Melmoth is still around as well.
The anarch free states stretch as far north as san fran, So i imagine most of the southern metropolitan area is anarch controlled.
What is the camarilla take on san fran? Are either of the archons still active in the area? Thats Robin and Bellamy.
Now for the really controversial part. The Kindred of the East. I think what I am going to do is treat them the same way as I do the drowned in my head. Still following all the same rules as kindred but considering themselves to have a different origin story than Caine. So basically I think I will retcon them to just be another group of Kindred. The New Promise Mandarinate will just be another sect. I will convert the dharmas into bloodlines. I will need to decide how I want to do that. I will make the KOTE sects just sects focused on Golconda and their own paths towards that. How would you convert the dharmas over?
I think the KOTE will probably be more of a rump state. Sort of like the crusader states of old, they have found themselves slowly pushed back with no eastern support. Anarchs and camarilla have broken them down piece by piece until they are a bare sliver of their previous power.
What is the status of Garcia? Still a traitor to the New Promise Mandarinate?
What other factors should I keep in mind?
