"This is not a fascist-friendly game" and immediate condemnation and scolding. Are we really going to-? I couldn't help the morbid curiosity and read the first paragraph. "Fascism" jumps off the page at me, in bold, black letters, front-and-center. I require some comforting and there must be some sort of tip to get over this trauma. right before 30 pages of fluff prior to anything about the game. Let me check the Appendix that the first page mentioned. PUNCH me! I seriously must be having a bad dream. they're not here? Nor are the Giovanni and Ravnos? They've gutted three of my favorite clans! I need someone to hold my hand. What a mess.ĭISCIPLINES! Yes, let's check those! Dementation is now a power from combining two disciplines? Wait, what? Okay, well, let's see how they set up the character creation and.
Okay, let's just see if they give more history on the next page. No real mention of warrior scholars, shots fired at the political right, gender studies. "Molotov-wielding protesters." Uh-oh! I think I see where this is going. Okay, weird, since I've literally never played with people who couldn't tell me "this makes me uncomfortable" like an adult, even when I played these games as a teenager. They open the book with a full-page warning label that directs you to an appendix about handling sensitive subject matter with your troupe. I made the costly mistake of purchasing a physical copy, in hopes that they shed some light on changes between V20 and V5E. I didn't buy this as a PDF someplace else. That's as close to "classic" as you're gonna get. You know the ones, in the nightclub, with the blonde hair. The best it does is pay lip service to established characters in Bloodlines that have become pop culture figureheads. If you're hoping for a continuation or some kind of expansion, run away. This is NOT the Classic World of Darkness. See more arguing on a public forum about a game you love, and presumably want more players to find and join.Ĭouldn't review because I didn't buy it online, so I hope this helps somebody. Just something to bear in mind when you're.
If you went to a con and walked up to a table you were gonna play at and all the people were yelling at each other, you'd probably just keep right on walking. Everyone is so worried about being right that they miss the fact that they're essentially chasing people away. That said, if I had never played VTM and was here thinking about grabbing a PDF to see what it was all about, the comment section here would likely have me deciding to go try something else and avoid the community in general. Our GM is awesome, the players in our group are awesome, and if the GM says we're going to V5, well, we're going to V5. For me, all the good and bad points really don't mean a thing. I barely have time to play, let alone get into the drama involved in version infighting. I'm only here because we're playing V20 and the GM is talking about going to V5 at some point, and I figured maybe I'd pick up a copy and get a head start on it. Mature Warning: Contains graphic and written content of a mature nature, including violence,sexual themes, and strong language. The terror of the Second Inquisition, the conspiracies behind the Gehenna War, and the rekindling of the War of Ages: these are the building blocks of the modern V5 chronicle. While the rules have been redesigned, this new edition honors the deep story of the original, advancing the metaplot from where it left off and detailing exactly what has happened in the world of the Kindred up until tonight. V5 is a return to Vampire's original vision, moving boldly into the 21st century. Powered by the innovative Hunger cycle, the game also includes rules for creating system supported character coteries, Loresheets to directly involve players with their favorite parts of the setting and The Memoriam, a new way to bring the character's detailed backgrounds and expand on them in-session. The classic that changed roleplaying games forever returns! This fifth edition features a streamlined and modern rules design, beautiful new full-color art, and a rich story experience for players. You are a vampire, struggling for survival, supremacy, and your own fading humanity - afraid of what you are capable of, and fearful of the inhuman conspiracies that surround you. Vampire: The Masquerade is the original and ultimate roleplaying game of personal and political horror.
