Vampire: The Masquerade

Vampire: The Masquerade
The world of Vampire: The Masquerade is a dark reflection of our own. The shadows loom longer here, and the night is more reluctant to yield to day. Corruption runs rampant, from the government through private corporations and into the various subcultures that revel in these culturally bankrupt times. Vampires are an outgrowth of the people who populate this desperate environment. They exist in the World of Darkness because they are the monsters among us, the products of a world so dark that only something truly horrible and captivating can challenge the depths into which the living residents of the world have plunged it.

Vampire: The Masquerade exploded into hobby games in 1991 and inspired a generation of fans the likes of which the game industry had never seen before or since. The cultural significance Vampire left on not just the gaming world but on modern vampire-related pop culture can be seen and felt at virtually every turn and in every medium today. Onyx Path Publishing offers a number of role-playing game fiction, art, and clothing products for Vampire: The Masquerade, as well as helping to re-release over a hundred original books through PDF and print-on-demand. We published throughout Vampire‘s 20th Anniversary Edition, and are excited have worked with Paradox on Vampire 5th Edition. Vampire 5th Edition is currently under the stewardship of Renegade Game Studio.

Swallow Darkness: The Lasombra

FOR LATECOMERS, OPEN DEVELOPMENT ON THIS IS NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS!

Welcome to the start of open development for Lore of the Clans! First up, we have Clan Lasombra, written by Andrew Peregrine. The link to the Google Doc containing his material is here:

Edit: Link removed now that open development is closed. Thank you!

Andrew’s only a few hundred words over, which is fine — that’s more or less on target. However, it means if I want him to add something, I’ll have to cut something else. I have some ideas on how that will go, but I’m curious to see if your comments reinforce my instincts, or point in a different direction.

Edit: Doing some math, I realized that if I want to get them all wrapped up before Gen Con, I need to keep these open for a limited time. So I’ll close comments on each Clan a week after I put it up, which means I’ll be closing comments on the Lasombra some time on Friday, July 25th. I’ll put a big note on the document when I close it so it’s clear.

A few things to keep in mind (and I’ll be repeating these points a lot):
