Good evening, everyone!
Welcome to the official Shades of Norwich blog. Accept no substitutes! Shades of Norwich is a live-action roleplaying game based on White Wolf's Vampire: the Requiem, situated in the fine county of Norfolk and beyond.
This blog is part of our drive to keep players informed, discuss roleplay, show how the Storytelling Team works, and have fun. Keep your eyes peeled for posts about the game and please feel free to comment!
If you have any questions or there is anything you would like to see explored from behind the scenes, please email at shadesofnorwich@yahoogroups.com.
Please note that Shades of Norwich is a work of fiction, and any similarity to real characters and events is entirely coincidental.
