Avernus is an independently operated live action role-playing (LARP) network, set in the original White Wolf World of Darkness™ prior to the Time of Thin Blood (the Gangrel are still in the Camarilla and the Assamites are out).

We use Laws of the Night Revised and other MET 2nd Edition Mechanic. We will NOT be transitioning to WoD 2.0 currently being referred to as: Vampire: The Requiem nor will be using megaplot "post-Week of Nightmares." Please refer to our House Rules and Errata for any clarifications to mechanic you plan use in play.
