It is set in a fictional Gothic-punk version of the modern world, where players take on the roles of vampires called Kindred and dealing with their nightly struggle against their own best-of-the-way nature, vampire vampire and each other. Several related products were produced based on Vampire: The Masquerade, including live role-playing games (Mind's Eye Theatre), Bones, Collector's Card Games (Vampire: The Eternal Struggle), video games (Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption, Vampiree: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Vampiree: The Masquerade - Swansong and Vampire: The Masquerade) In 1996, a short-lived television show based on Kindred: The Embraced was produced by Aaron Spelling for Fox Broadcasting Company. The development of the vampire was inspired by RPG such as Call of Cthulhu and Run, as well as writings by Joseph Campbell and vampire films such as Lost Boys. Rein-Hagen felt that hunting vampires as a premise game would be boring, so he came up with the idea of a game where players played vampires rather than hunt them. Rein- Hagen specifically stated that he had deliberately not read Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles until very late in the development process, but acknowledged that it was probably influenced by the vampire films that inspired the game. He wanted to go beyond what Anne Rice did, creating individual vampires, with a whole secret vampire society and culture. Some of the vampire's central themes about the power of faith evolved from the religious upbringing of Rhine-Hagen. Inspired by a comic book given to him by White Wolf business partner Stuart Wick, Rein-Hagen developed the idea that the cursed character of the biblical Cain was an original vampire. In an interview with Ask Me Anything on Reddit, Rein-Hagen called Cain's idea the progenitor of all vampires a big turning point. He continued: I tried to evade religion. After that... I went wa. The game and the world have become about religion and faith. My father was a Lutheran priest, and I think he played a huge role not only in the vampire, but in the entire WoD series. I was always fascinated by what made people believe so strongly when I didn't seem to believe at all. Speaking of this theme, the power of faith is fueled by the second half of vampire game design. The vampire was noticeably new in many ways. It was conceived as a dark, moody urban fantasy game with a unique Gothic feel that harkened back to the Ravenloft TSR. It will also be the first of a series of related games separating the same gaming world. His simple photo of the cover of a rose on green marble set the tone for the game and set it apart from other games on the market. Its content was also new, as the game was focused on plots, intrigues and stories, as opposed to simpler dungeon scenarios. While the RPG industry as a whole has been trending towards a more narrative approach, Vampire was one of the first games of its kind to be at the center of these things. Horror games are traditionally The toughest sell in the RPG industry, but Vampire included elements that made it a dark superhero game rather than a pure horror game. An extensive list of broad supernatural forces called disciplines, which included superior strength, speed and strength, as well as other forces such as mystical feelings, mind control and blood magic, gave the player's characters a more superhuman rather than a sense of horror. The 13 clans added at the end of the development process provided a much-needed system similar to the class of characters based on vampire archetypes, which proved to be very popular with players. For mechanical elements, Rein-Hagen turned to Tom Dowd, co-designer of Shadowrun (1989). The vampire system of comparative bone pools relied on the mechanics of the new Shadowrun, changing only the type of rolled-up bones; ten side, not six side. The values that determine the amount of rolled dice were used in games as champions, but instead of adding a result to the dice in total, the vampire compared the result of the dice with a fixed value to determine the degree of success or failure. Skill levels were relatively low, usually one to five, and were represented by points rather than numbers, which was the standard of his contemporaries. Players can easily understand their pool dice and roll against the designated difficulty rating. This system was a boon to the narrative style of play that emphasized the story over mechanics, as new players were easy to understand quickly, but often subject to unexpected results, such as a higher skilled character more prone to confusion. The gameplay concept game uses cursed, vampire terms as a backdrop to explore themes of morality, debauchery, human condition (or appreciation of the human condition in its absence), salvation, and personal horror. A dark and exaggerated version of the real world inhabited by vampires called The World of Darkness forms an already gloomy canvas on which the stories and struggles of the characters are written. Topics that the game seeks to address include maintaining a sense of character itself, humanity and sanity, and simply holding on to the crushed grim opposition of mortals and supernatural antagonists and, more poignantly, surviving in politics, betrayal, and often violent ambitions of its kind.

  • SILVER AGE SENTINELS (D20)
    Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells.

  • Mutants & Masterminds
    SOURCEBOOK GRR2011e LUCIEN SOULBAN · GREEN RONIN PUBLISHING SOURCEBOOK A refitted VTOL Carnival Air-freighter lumbers through the air like an overfed bumblebee, sluggish and heavy on the noise. You sit onboard, waiting to land. Not since the Atlanta Boys Convoy of 1934, when the government loaded 52 hardened criminals into a train and shipped them out to “inaugurate” Alcatraz Island, has secrecy and security been this heavy. For Super-Con Air, however, this is business as usual. The Carnival is the workhorse of convict transports; she can normally carry 23 passengers along with 22 tons of cargo, but following the refit, she’s hefting two additional power plants and space for 10 powered felons… eight awake and two asleep. Awake, you sit in reinforced cage called “The Egg,” because that’s what it looks like. The Egg suppresses active power fields and locks you down in sensory deprivation for the trip. It’s a blackout of your senses, designed to keep you off- balance when they finally transfer you out. Asleep, the Department of Justice deems you too powerful to risk handling. You’re probably a Type IV or V, and that makes folks nervous enough to crank you out in a hotsleep coffin. You won’t wake up until you’re imbedded 200 meters deep inside “the Mountain.” You feel like you’ve been in the dark for years before someone nudges your Egg. That’s just the VTOL setting down on the landing pad. A few minutes later, there’s motion again. They’ve disconnected your Egg from its suspension struts aboard the Carnival, and they’re wheeling you down the jet’s back ramp.

Thomas In live action role-play or larp, imaginary worlds are co-created through the persistent organizational actions – both online and ‘in real life’ (IRL) – of gamers as they embody carefully constructed game personas. This project poses the question: how are newcomers initiated into live action role-playing, and how are these processes aided through online actions and social media? I argue that larpers collectively fabricate a universe from existing and user generated texts through the merging of creative production and narrative consumption, integrating newcomers into these creative processes at the organizational, interpersonal, and diegetic, or imaginary, levels. In larp, these processes are technologically mediated. Social media and virtual worlds provide meditative and contemplative spaces for gamers to reflect on their in-game lives in ways that facilitate meaning, identity, and community for a tight-knit collective of larpers in New York City.
