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.

The full text of Children of the Revolution is up here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18J5p636V-OrGcF1ZI4c3pfV7m_mwNPLjK8X3oE-97oA/edit Feel free to share with friends and leave a comment. The book is in layout right now, and the art is (I believe) in CCP’s hands for approvals. This was a trying book to work on. It fell right in the middle of … Read more
<1>Lady Margaret Willoughby, Keeper of the Lost Secret <n>On a wicked night in Scotland, five self-styled witches had gathered in a guestroom in the eastern wing of Balmoral Castle. Their coven had convened to ensorcel their hostess, the Queen Victoria, who had become morose after the death of her husband the Prince Consort Albert. Led … Read more
Per request, a Lasombra privateer. The tone’s a bit different with this one, allowing for a bit more action-and-adventure-style Vampire chronicles. Esperanza Lucifer, the Devil’s Darling Few Kindred are so renowned as to be known beyond the limits of the city in which they have made their haven. The interests of the Damned are almost … Read more
The Introductory chapter for Children of the Revolution is up for review over at Google Docs or Google Drive or Google Donks or whatever it is right now. I’ve turned commenting on so you can leave a remark in-line as opposed to appended to the bottom of the text like you’d have to do here. … Read more
Roderigo al-Dakhil, Lich of the Dead City For all the time he has existed, Roderigo al-Dakhil best remembers his few bright shining years as one of the architects of fate. His first touch of magic almost broke him. A Castilian soldier in the army fighting to reclaim Cadiz, he’d drilled for the day when he encountered … Read more
Are you ready for some Brujah? Here’s Colm Olliver, a nasty dude who would probably be Clan Honeybadger if such a thing existed. I like that Colm’s history is intertwined with an interesting location in the existing Vampire setting (Carfax Abbey, the gothic Anarch nightclub in London) and that some cornerstone musical elements of the … Read more
Commenter Adam suggested that we include the character Dastur Anosh, Black Hand Seraph (referenced in Caine’s Chosen), Assamite antitribu, and Kindred assumed to be extremely dead. Well, that sounds like a fine revolutionary character to me. Joe Carriker worked on him, and Dastur Anosh ends up being, through some clever crafting by Joe, part of … Read more
I saw some good response to Lizette, a comparatively young Kindred whose modern revolutionary Embrace grounded the idea of “Children of the Revolution” in a context of what players and Storytellers might be able to do with the idea of domain and the limited understanding of stagnant Elders. By contrast, here we have Meixiu, a … Read more
Hello again, Kindred revolutionaries. Today we have a vampire much younger than many of the others we’ve seen here, in that she’s only a year old (if that!) but has made quite a place for herself. In particular, what I like about this character are: The creative use of domain, in the form of a … Read more
Howdy, faithful Kindred scholars. Tonight I have for you Nasch the Circassian. He’s got a few years under his belt, and he often finds his way into some high-profile trouble, but he has some blemishes in his history that a clever coterie might be able to work around or even remedy. In particular, I like … Read more
