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.

Originally posted by Justin at the V20 Blog Look at these Gangrel I found loitering in the back parking lot and giving me the stink-eye. The thing that needs the most stress-testing here is — hey, surprise! — clan weakness. Now, the only thing the rule stipulates is the appearance of the animal features upon … Read more
Originally posted by Rich on the V20 Blog Last time I posted, I mentioned how wonderful it is to be able to work again with the talented artists that helped make VtM the aesthetic benchmark that it was. One of my favorite illustrators, and favorite artists to art direct, has got to be William O’Connor. … Read more
Originally posted by Shane on the V20 Blog So as many of you know we are fortunate enough to have our old friend Tim Bradstreet returning to do the main 13 Clan spreads like he originally did. As many of you know Tim, like many artists uses real models as part of his photo-realistic look. … Read more
Originally posted at the V20 Blog Can you FEEL the Ravnosery? This one was a challenge to write. On the one hand, there’s a lot of Revised-era work that went toward expanding the clan from their original, somewhat shallow concept. On the other hand, the clan spreads are overviews that give only broad-strokes impressions of … Read more
Originally posted by Justin at the V20 Blog Here in the shadows we find the Keepers, Clan Lasombra. I did them this time around because people wanted to start seeing some of the non-Camarilla clans, but I didn’t want to do the Tzimisce and the Tremere back-to-back. (“These guys are creepy. Oh, and these guys … Read more
Originally posted by Justin at the V20 Blog A quickie as the day winds down. I’m trying to finish the Lasombra writeup, but in the meantime, here’s a portion of the systems chapter. This covers the basics as well as a selection of physically based actions, ready for playtest. https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=13OdkeoicvChlyPcwW-HxdhxHhzaKlH-Re5favuVkh5k Now back to this clan … Read more
Originally posted by Justin on the V20 Blog Good afternoon, class. Today, let’s talk a bit about the themes that characterize V20. They’re not quite as “crunchy” as other playtest material has been, but they shape all of the work that goes into the book, both behind the scenes and in the chronicles you play. … Read more
Originally posted by Justin on the V20 Blog I realize it’s been a few days since my last substantial dev doc post and just wanted to keep you guys apprised of what’s been going on in the interim. First, we had the meeting Monday that many of you have been hoping for, in which we … Read more
Originally posted by Eddy on the V20 Blog. A lot of moving parts have been happening at work recently, between the April Fool’s joke, the discussion about selling the book outside of Grand Masquerade (short answer: Yes, we will, and we’ll tell you more once we have more to share) and a nasty norovirus plague … Read more
