![]() Vampire Players Guide, Revised Edition (Vampire: the Masquerade) $29.95 As the title suggests this Players Guide is not the same as most other White Wolf supplements. This book is more along the lines of the Storytellers Guide in focus. What you find instead of reference towards the overall metaplot are articles by White Wolf writers as to their opinions on how to play the game itself. As the ST Guide was geared towards helping people ST better this Players Guide aims to give players more insight into playing. There are articles ranging from creating mortal characters, to exploring Sabbat packs in depth, to vampires and sex. The tone of the book is one that's more conversational. Like a talk you may have with a ST as to their opinions on the game itself. It helps guide players into creating more well rounded characters as well as considering their larger role in the WoD setting. Unlike older guides you won't find lists of weapon stats or magical weapons. Cons: -Some of the articles come off as 'talking down' to players -No fiction or hints towards metaplot -The articles are opinions of writers rather than actual canon -At least 2 of the sections seem to drag on longer than necessary -STs may find more use from the articles than typical playersPros: -Writers from WW actually give their tips into the game they help create -Gives great ideas towards new character concepts, mortal characters, and making stereotypes unique -Worthwhile advice for STs and players alike -Suggestions for new chronicles (Legacy of Damnation and Pack/Corterie centered games) -A more conversational tone makes the book easier to readAs with every book that WW publishes they stress that the 'Golden Rule' is the only one that matters. Keeping that in mind I found this book to be a great addition to my library. ![]() Clanbook: Malkavian (Vampire: The Masquerade) $12.00 This book is not for every one,if you like to be an outcasat and the"crazy"one who few understand,then this clan and book is great,the only defect,seriuos people find it ? and also some drawings ade 3 year old like,but they also have some awsome ones!BUY IT if you are insane enough,because if you find it a waste of money,LOOK THERE ARE MORE CLANS! ![]() Vampire The Masquerade Volume 1: Blood and Roses $16.95 The Masquerade from Whitewolf is a dark creation of horror, a role playing game set in the universe where magic is real, people do turn into animals with the coming of the full moon and vampires hide in the shadows, running the government, helping themselves to our wealth and our blood. This graphic novel, with a foreword by Christopher Golden, tells three tales of three of the Clans. The Toreador, the artists of the night, always trying to defeat final death by making that perfect painting, that great movie, that song nobody will forget. They seem weak but they rule the night life as much as any other Clan. Victoria Ash even makes an appearance. The Nosferatu, the most ugly yet most stable of all the vampires, they suck up information and facts like most suck up blood. They move among us like shadows and we never hear a thing. But they hear everything. The Ventrue, powerful, noble, this suits with fangs are as likely to take you to court as bite you. Lawyers, money and guns, they run the Clans. At least those who allow them to. The Kindred are here to stay, in the printed pages, on the small television screen and now in the pages of this graphic novel. Do you dare open the cover and feast on what is inside? ![]() Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines $29.99 This game was awesome, definitely mature themed and I really enjoyed it. I did not have too many glitches with the software (running XP) and this deserves to be reprinted and put on the shelf again. The music soundtrack is awesome too, so good I bought one of the CDs. |
