Now available from DriveThruRPG in PDF and print-on-demand: V20 Ready Made Characters
Running a one-night game of Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition? Wanting to start up a new chronicle, but your players aren’t sure what to play? Looking for some examples of how to use the material in Lore of the Clans?
Thanks to our generous Kickstarter backers, these thirteen ready-made characters cover each of the vampire Clans. Each character is provided with background, roleplay suggestions, art, and some potential coteries and plot hooks — everything you need to start your endless nights as one of the Kindred.
Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition and Lore of the Clans are needed to use these characters.
This book includes:
- Thirteen pre-generated player characters, with both starting and experienced character sheets.
- A brief breakdown of the character’s history and roleplaying suggestions.
- Six possible coteries for these characters, complete with coterie charts.
- Seven plot seeds to help the Storyteller jumpstart her chronicle.
I love what I see. Good work guys. How much bonus experience was given to the experienced profiles vs. the neonate profiles?
75 experience points between the neonate and ancilla level sheets. Glad you like it! Please consider reviewing it on drivethrurpg, or rating it. Or both!
True confessions time: I didn’t want any V20 character nonsense when during the Lore of the Clans Kickstarter. I got the PDF when RichT sent out the link, but I thought it wouldn’t be worth looking at…
And then I DID look, and oh my GOODNESS is it great! This is waaaaaay more than I’d expected when I heard the announcement, both in terms of showing what’s great about Vampire: the Masquerade AND in terms of showing what’s possible within the game. Is it perfect? Nah, but that’s what makes it kind of perfect. Yes, I’ve said that about a LOT of V20 products (e.g. The Hunters Hunted II, V20 Black Hand, Rites of the Blood), but this one is really neat for it’s ability to offer not just another supplement. Rather, it offers seeds that can become chronicles, whether as something new or as improvements for fertile ground of an existing chronicle.
For the price, it’s a STEAL, but don’t let that be the only reason you pick this up. It’s another reason to love Vampire, even if you already love the game.
And yes, that’s posted on DriveThruRPG. It’s really a very nice book. I particularly love Mama Polari. She reminds me of a Brujah I played over 20 years ago who went by ‘Prissy’ as a less-than-convincing cross dresser. He may have done it for iconoclast reasons rather than what Mama’s reasons are, but you don’t fully say WHAT those have to be. I love how your take on this is presented with compassion and empathy, and it still leaves a LOT of room for me to decide what’s really going on. I mean, ALL of these characters do this, which is a testament to your great work!
I’m really glad you like it! Please consider leaving a review on Drivethrurpg!
