Modiphius Entertainment Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Ed. RPG for Adults, Family and Kids 13 Years Old and Up (Hardback, Full Color RPG)

I already had a Tremere who's title is the Blood Matron and her predator type is a blood leech, she's a 5th generation, and also the High Regent of the Five Boroughs close to the Anarch territory with her own Chantry. Her goals are her own, she cares little for politics - Only knowledge. Word is her sire is Tremere himself... might be true might not be true, who knows? If it is then... Well she'll be a personal target for my 4th gen Tzimisce's won't she?

As an avid player of the original from 1992, I was excited for this. Although the times have changed and some of the mechanics, the Kindred are by far the best vampires ever imagined. Playing as one is truly a game of horror and mystery bringing out the dark side of being a vampire in the 21st century. Gone are the days of Lestat and Edward, the Kindred rule the night and now, you can rule with them ... as long as you can control your Beast.

This book is great. They added new things and it seems like it's a bit better. It'll take some getting used to but there's a lot of really cool stuff in here. I'm used to V20 so this isn't too far off of what I'm used to. Definitely worth buying.

I still haven't figured out the exact way of this book's layout. Its explanation of story is a little odd compared to other systems, like D&D, but it does the job in its own way, and creatively. Very great reference book for the Pen & Paper game, "Vampire the Masquerade"

Vampire the Masquerade has always been one of my favorite, and arguably one of the best table top rpgs around. This version is a welcome edition to the game, even with its flaws.The good: For starters, the updated lore. If you don't know anything about the World of Darkness lore, I highly recommend you look into it. In this particular book, it goes into what has changed in the current times for vampires. Everything from technology advancements, the wider scope of influence that the internet has, all that has an effect on the night to night life of the vampires.Another good thing that this book gives are options for thin blooded vampires, giving them some kind of tool for survival against their older counterparts.The bad: I'll admit, as much as I do love this game, the book layout itself is very messy and all over the place. Once you get more acquainted with it, it's not quite so bad, but it takes a lot of getting used to how the book is presented (I suggest using post it note markers). Another draw back is the combat mechanics. The gameplay is simple enough and fun to use in the majority of the game (considering especially Vampire is more of a social role playing game as compared to D&Dl, but it does get a little clunky when it comes to combat when you compare it to earlier versions.Overall, this is a great game and I highly recommend getting it.

I really enjoy the pdf version, you get a code in the book that you use to download it for free off of a website. The pdf version let's you quickly find stuff. Having hard copy on hand is always good and add to my collection. Printing is good and love the images.

After a long lull the White Wolf we know and love is back with what might be their best rpg yet. the new systems and artistic design of the classic world of darkness, has everything you love of the original but many vast improvements to the system to make sure the game is always on point.

Changes to Humanity systems are good. New Hunger system is an excellent way to tie the concept into moment to moment gameplay and makes players focus on their character's condition instead of an externalized point pool. Light on lore, heavy on mood. Disciplines have a good system tied to the new system of Generation but the powers are largely lack luster.Over all an excellent edition which I will be modifying for my games.
