The original Succubus Club appeared in Chicago in the early 1990s, where the local Kindred preyed on mortals enamored of the vampiric lifestyle. Tonight, the Succubus Club seems to have little connecting it to its first incarnation, as now it’s a nomadic party that travels from town to town across North America like a carnival, bringing with it those debased Kin­ dred who have no more ambition in unlife than to go where the next sensation takes them. With a rotat­ ing lineup of promoters, musical acts, DJs, perform­ ers, and road crew, the Succubus Club never provides the same experience twice. The club rarely stays in any given city for more than a single night, but when it opens its doors, the Kindred indulge themselves in wildness and debauchery not seen since the nights of fabled Carthage.

Paranoid Elders often see the Succubus Club as a potential Masquerade threat or other challenge to the Traditions, but that’s rarely enough to stop them from attending, since the spectacle and thrill provides them with a momentary diversion from their centu­ ries of bloody intrigue.

Most recently, the Succubus Club had become dominated by Anarchs, who use its nomadic nature as a pulpit for the Anarch cause. At the same time, a known Tal’Mahe’Ra assassin was also using the Suc­ cubus Club as cover for her own contracts, killing for her shadowy overlords wherever the club opened shop for the night. Sabbat cities are always interesting ven­ ues for the Succubus Club, and various ritae frequently find their way into the scheduled “performances” of the evening. Even the vampires of the Ivory Tower find occasion to relax their propriety and let their hair down. With this in mind, many wonder if the Succubus Club is a mobile instrument of the Jyhad, providing a neutral and lawless location for various

Kindred schemes to come together, status to be raised, and grudges to be settled. Whatever the case, it’s a king-hell good time, and it’s fortunate for the Kindred that the undead don’t suffer hangovers.
