Anarch: Not a good time to lose one’s “head.”

Prince: Indeed.

Anarch: That’s not the way to get “ahead” in unlife.

Prince: No.

Anarch: It’s a shame she wasn’t more “headstrong.”

Prince: Hmm.

Anarch: She’ll never be the “head” of a major corporation.

Prince: Okay, that’ll do.

Anarch: Okay.

“Vampire: The Masquerade has moved forward, setting an example for other games as a meaningful way to address racism. Rather than restating Rule Zero, the writers have reconstructed these clans from the ground up. By distilling what makes the clans interesting, V5 has managed not only to shed these dark stereotypes, but open up the creative freedom of its world to allow for a much broader cast of characters within the established lore.”

Lady Aisling Sturbridge is the signature character of the Tremere clan. She is the High Regent of the Chantry of the Five Boroughs in New York.

“Paradox Interactive is bringing the development of the Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop role-playing game in-house, the company announced Thursday.

This week’s Android Game of the Week is a fresh face in a sea of familiarity. It’s special because it’s set in the World of Darkness, where you play a vampire courier who must outrun hunters, assassins, and the sun to survive. So if you like vampires, whether you’ve played the tabletop Vampire: The Masquerade or not, this game is definitely one to check out.

What are some of the best Ventrue feeding restrictions you’ve come up with or encountered?

Vendetta’s still got plenty of the trappings of the tabletop RPG. The aforementioned frenzy system is one of them, where starvation makes a vampire lose control of themselves, fly into a rage and maybe even snack on a mate. Instead of worrying about a single vampire, however, each player runs a Chicago clan, competing with the others by playing cards that represent their undead powers and abilities in locations they want to control—all so they can gain enough influence to overthrow the current Prince of Chicago.

From March 16 to March 20 of 2020, Onyx Path Publishing is offering a chance for tabletop fans to visit one of the most influential games from the 1990s; the World of Darkness.

“We want you to feel like a vampire in everything that you’re doing,“ says Hardsuit Labs’ narrative lead, Brian Mitsoda. He admits, ”[The first Bloodlines felt] kind of more like an FPS where you occasionally drink blood for fuel.“ This time, he says, "The violence of the vampire is more reflected in how you approach combat.”

Vampire: The Masquerade has been around for over twenty years and with more content coming, hopefully, centuries more.

In Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong, players will be able to take control of three different vampires. Using these different characters, players will have to figure out the truth behind murders, conspiracies and other vampire shenanigans.

The Baron faction’s Lieutenants employ humans, ghouls, and younger vampires to do their dirty work. They also make use of the more “assertive” vampire, and they are all manner of vagrants, dealers, hitmen, gang members, and those that are just a plain old ne’er-do-well.

Seattle is host to an incredibly lucrative technology industry and business community, and the Camarilla have certainly benefited from this. Lead by Prince Cross, over the last 20 years this faction has helped to foster this community and drive the financial success of the city into the 21st century. Deeply ingrained into Seattle’s business community, the Camarilla count among their numbers CEOs, software moguls, bankers, venture capitalists, politicians and other members of society’s elite. This is a Kindred faction that doesn’t just influence the city from dark, street-level alleys, but also from the board rooms crowning skyscrapers up above.

This is partly in thanks to Prince Cross’ even-handed rule, business sense, and organizational capabilities. The Prince is skilled at forging key alliances, but also at knowing just how much power to give vampires to keep them comfortable but unable to rise against him. A ruler who prefers negotiation and careful strategy over brute force and violence, his political policy is one of stability, prosperity, and maintaining the Masquerade.
