It is set in a fictional Gothic-punk version of the modern world, where players take on the roles of 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 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. Game System Home article: Vampire is based on the narrator's system. In addition to the general rules of Storyteller, it uses a number of specific mechanics designed to simulate vampire existence. The vampire has a pool of blood, meaning the amount of human blood or vitae currently in their body; This blood can be spent on power abilities and perform supernatural stunts. These stunts mimic many of those depicted in the film, such as in animals or fog, sleeping in the ground or having charisma and the power of hypnotic suggestion. Close to the central theme of the game humanity. Vampires each have humanity's assessment, measuring how closely in contact with human nature they are; as humanity shrinks, vampires become more receptive to the Beast, the wild side of the vampire soul, which is driven solely by rage, hunger, and hatred of God and humanity. Rough, immoral actions risk to reduce the assessment of humanity vampire. If human humanity falls to zero, the Beast takes over and the vampire is in a state of constant madness known as Vassail. Actions taken during the gameplay are expressed by ten-sided cubes. The number of bones used corresponds to the player's current skill level, often based on two different skills that together represent a player's abilities. For example, to land a punch, the character's agility and brawling skill combine. The result is a number of bones rolled to perform the task. It's up to the story to set how high a dice roll should be considered a success (usually 6 for standard action). Vampires in the world of vampire darkness in the world of darkness use several familiar vampire tropes in myth and legends such as immortality and powerful bloodlust. They are really undead as their hearts do not beat, they do not require food or drink, they do not age, their skin is cold and pale, and only the food they require is blood. Despite their undead status, vampires of this world think, feeling creatures capable of thought, emotion and empathy (although this ability may decrease with age, or through desensitization caused by immoral actions, are called the loss of humanity). Other tropes or weaknesses are described as simple legends or superstitions, such as the victim of a vampire, becoming a vampire simply from a bite. Although they are not usually repelled by garlic or holy symbols, there is a system of virtues and disadvantages that can affect the characters in this way, although they are not animated by some demonic spirit according to the knowledge in the game. 8:8 Weak sun rays are terrible and deadly for vampires of this canon, and as a last resort, they can endure a few seconds of exposure before they die. The wooden stake through the heart is not deadly to these creatures, but immobilizes them until it is removed. 8:8 Perhaps their greatest weakness is what is known in the game as the Beast. The Beast is a wild, carnal predatory drive in all vampires. The beast seeks only to satisfy its basic desire to survive. Anger, mortal threats, hunger, or bloodlust are some of the things that can lead to the rise of the Beast. The beast is able to take on the conscious mind of a vampire, forcing them into a frenzied state where they take the violent, often deeply regrettable, actions they have, otherwise it won't. One of the main themes of Vampire are the battle of the characters to hit the hit between their violent, predatory nature and moral responsibility before their humanity is undermined by this powerful force within themselves. 16-17 This theme is summarized in the axiom: The beast I am, not to become a beast. :14 Vampires can enter a deadly dream called numbness. Torpor can be caused by near-fatal injuries or can be administered voluntarily. In the game, the level of humanity of the vampire determines how long they sleep. Although they cannot die of old age, vampires in this setting can die. Fire, sunlight, beheading, supernatural powers, or succumb to clan weakness can cause a vampire to reach what is called Final Death - truly die. 8:283-284 Torpor allows the vampire to free themselves from their existential pain, but it can also make them vulnerable. Vampires in this state, if not well hidden, may have difficulty protecting themselves and are vulnerable to being killed by vampire hunters or Diablerie by other vampires. Vitae characters in this world refer to the supernatural blood in their bodies that supports them as vitae. Vampires get vitae by drinking blood. In the game this accumulation of vitae is called a pool of blood. This means the amount of vitae that a player can spend on inflaming supernatural forces, healing wounds or increasing their physical strength, agility or endurance. Characters can replace the lost Vitae by drinking more blood. A vampire's viti can inspire false feelings of love and promote addiction if drunk by others. This addiction to vampire blood is called Bloody Bond. The vampire who performs the bond is called Regnant, and the one who is related is called Thrall. In most cases, the victim must drink three times from the same vampire on three separate nights to become a boar. Once connected, the victim feels something like a very twisted kind of love for a vampire, and they become the most important person in their life. They also become more receptive to controlling that vampire mind and are willing to do anything, even risking their own lives to help them regnant. Mortals, animals and even other vampires and other supernatural beings can be related. Sabbat's practice is a different form of group blood bonding by incorporating the old Tzimisce blood magic called Vaulderie which inspires loyalty and sodality among the sect. It also instantly breaks the usual blood bond if performed by a properly trained vampire, usually a Pack Priest. They can also be negated by the increased amount of time, depending on how far Bond has gone (steps one, two or three), willpower and a prolonged lack of regnan to do so. :286-288 Embrace vampires can create more of yourself by draining a person to the point of death and then feeding the victim some of his blood. The vampire creator is known as sire, Created vampire vampire and the creation process is called hugs. Very little vitae is required to cause metamorphosis, but the victim must be recently dead. It doesn't work on corpses that are more than a few minutes old. The relative power of a vampire is limited by what is called their generation, which occurs during their embrace. Generation is the vampire's distance from the race's mythical founder, Cain, who is said to be the first vampire. For example, the ninth generation is nine generations of Cain. If this ninth generation vampire hug someone their offspring will be the tenth generation, no matter how many times they do it. Generation is pretty much a fixed trait, but the characters can lower their generation by committing to diablerie - consuming the soul of a lower-generation vampire. Attitudes to diabri range from criminalization to the act of liberation. Despite this, diablerie is a serious act not to be taken seriously. 8: 24, 28 Motives and more surrounding hugs are different from clans and sects. In some sects, such as Camarilla, the creation of new vampires is tightly controlled. Among sabbatists or anarchies, the norm is much weaker. 19 Individual clans, especially independent clans, have different norms, rituals and limitations associated with the creation of new vampires. Some only embrace some ethnic group, such as Romani with Ravnos:64 or in some mortal families as with Giovanni. 47, 56-57 Others are simply looking for certain qualities, such as the ability to survive, use intelligence, curiosity or artistic talent. Some create other vampires for power, others for communication, and some are created as fodder for endless, ancient conflicts known as Jyhad, which are central to gameplay. Myths and origins of vampires in the world of darkness believe that their race comes from the biblical figure of Cain. Cain is said to have been cursed by God with the vampire state for killing his brother. Vampires of this canon consider themselves a descendant of this biblical ancestor. It is said that Cain was able to pass on his cursed state to others, thus making them just as weak as himself. These first childer, known as the second generation, are said to have been made to keep him company, and they in turn made a third generation. The third, presumably, blinked thirteen and are semi-legendary founders of thirteen original clans. According to the legend of the game, all these vampires lived in a world ruled by Cain in the legendary city known as Enoch, or First City. However, when God caused the Great Flood, the city was destroyed, and Cain disappeared, leaving his Childer to fend for themselves. The third generation eventually rose up and killed their sires. Cain, discovering this, cursed them. The Curse of Cain the reason why each clan now has its own weakness. These myths are collected in a game document of dubious authenticity known as the Book of Nod. Those who study the mythical vampire origin are called noddists. According to Noddiist mythology, there are claims that Cain will return at the end of time to judge his descendants: the Anthediluvians and all the vampires, the descendants of them. This event is known as Gehenna, the end of all vampire races. Others argue that Gehenne is simply the awakening of the Antediluw people who have returned to feed on the blood of their descendants. 30 Different interpretations of myths are shared by vampire society. Sabbath, for example, takes the myths literally and believes that it is their goal to protect vampires from ancient looting. Camarilla is more dismissive, either claiming that Cain is nothing more than a myth or metaphor or a direct suppression of myths and their research. Disagreements between the different societies surrounding the origins of vampires and Gehenna are important motifs in the game for Jyhad that color understanding of the character of their world. Whether myths are true in the context of the game, the Cain myth presents important themes presented in the meta-pay, such as the sins of the father, returning to his children, the threat of the apocalypse, questions of faith, conspiracies and war of the ages. 28 Holconda is a legendary state of enlightenment that offers vampires liberation from the fight against the Beast. Different editions have gone to another level of detail about that Ofold, but everyone agrees that it is an elusive and mysterious state, and there is very little information in the game or on how to achieve it. Masquerade in a Vampire: Masquerade refers to an organized conspiracy, mostly organized by Camarillo, to convince the public that vampires do not exist. Camarilla believes that masquerade is the cornerstone of the survival strategy for Kindred and fears that without it the kine would rise and exterminate all the undead. 8:14, 22, 33 Prohibitions on exposing the existence of Kindred existed until the 15th century in a set of ancient laws known as Tradition. The First Tradition says: You must not reveal your true nature to those who are not from Blood. By doing so should give up your blood claims. This austerity was not applied consistently and not so strictly, until it was required by the Inquisition of the 15th century. During this period, vampires were exterminated in large numbers by vampire hunters, which greatly led to the formation of a sect known as Camarilla, whose main purpose was to promote and provide masquerade as a means of survival. :38 Masquerade is largely carried out by self-control, but this is primarily a job camarilla of controlled cities to enforce it. Princes can use any means at their disposal to ensure the vampire society remains hidden and that those who break the masquerade are properly punished. Penalties for violations are range, but are usually draconian due to the seriousness of the masquerade. Final death, often through the ritual blood hunt of other vampires, is not uncommon. When violations occur, Camarilla takes great pains to restore them. This can include everything from erasing mortal memories to using supernatural powers to manipulating mortal pawns in order to keep events out of the media. Masquerade is one of the main points of contention between the two main factions of vampires in the World of Darkness. While many vampires see pragmatism in masquerade, some disagree with it. For example, Sabbath does not support the Tradition, which justifies the execution of masquerade, but behind closed doors even they take some steps to contain violations. In the early 2000s, the world's secret services discovered the existence of Shreknet, and in response they formed such a famous as the . Using the knowledge of the St. Leopold Society, which was canonized at the Vatican, they killed hundreds of thousands of vampires around the world. In response, which has forced the secondary level of masquerade measures in the gaming world, vampires now use everything from burner phones and disposable emails to use carrier pigeon and information dead drops, sometimes using hypnotized or ghoul people to transmit information. In addition, the Camarilla sect became a more closed society, only taking notable kinship, resulting in most recently embraced to be killed or adopted by anarch sect who adopted the principles of Camarilla masquerade to protect themselves. The Vampire Assamite Genealogy Society in the world of darkness has a rich, complex and diverse secret society with different ideologies, goals and backgrounds. Sects are largely divided by ideological disputes surrounding the distribution of power between vampires, the role of vampires in the human world, and ancient myths that supposedly explain the origin and purpose of vampires. Age is an important means of social difference among vampires in this setting through age. Young vampires who want respect and power must prove themselves to their elders. While ambition can provide some mobility among the immortals, often respect comes from those who can prove that they can survive. Characters are freely divided into several age groups. Age is not a name or a job, but rather loose descriptions to describe the development of the vampire and the social expectations that come with aging. 8:19 Fledgling - New Vampires Who Haven't officially enter the vampire society. Fledglings are still too ignorant and weak to survive on them (although some among Sabbat manage it) and depend on their Sires for protection and education. Newborns - Although still young, the newborn has proven that they can survive on their own and is seen as a full member of their society. Ankilla - Ancilla survived several decades or perhaps several centuries. They also probably achieved something in their time for their sect or clan, though what it might be varies. Elder is a relative term that can point to a vampire somewhere between 200 and 1000 years old. They tend to have great wealth, influence or power to use in Jyhad. Methuselah - Methuselah range from 1000 to 2000 years. At this age, vampires begin to retreat from society, and many of them do not experience the profound changes caused by survival for so long. Antediluvian - Antediluvians are believed to be those third-generation vampires that evolved from Cain's first children. There are rumors that there are only thirteen of them. 19 The Vampire Clans and Sects organize and divide themselves politically and ideologically into sects that form the ruling structure for the undead. Laws and regulations relating to the place of vampires in the mortal world, feeding, handling vessels, vampire morality, secrecy, fodder, Gehenne and power distribution, form the basis of these divisions. The two main sects are Camarilla and Sabbath, but there are other sects such as Ionna or Anarchy. The sect is what a character can choose in the game, although this solution is often chosen for them by their Sire. A defect in one way or another is possible, but comes at great risk, since much of what motivates Jyhad are the ideological differences between Camarilla and Sabbat. 8: 19-22 Vampire Sects: Masquerade offers players the opportunity to play in a politically diverse world in which sects rule the entire vampire society. While many factions and sub-sections exist in the game, the focus is on the conflict between Camarillo, Sabbath and Anarchy. Camarilla - nicknamed the Ivory Tower, Camarilla strictly adheres to a set of ancient laws known as tradition. Camarilla was created as a reaction to the Inquisition and sees its purpose as preserving masquerade as a means of ensuring the survival of all Kindred. Tradition is respected and order in each jurisdiction (usually one city in the mortal world) is maintained by a powerful leader known as the prince. The prince is obliged to interpret tradition and act as a judge, jury and executioner. Camarilla describes herself in idealistic terms, suggesting that this noble society is an undead peer, but harbors a vast, complex and rigid hierarchy that ancient rivalries and vicious political machinations. Camarilla actively denies or suppresses myths about Gehenne and the legendary ancient founders of the race. Camarillo's vampires call themselves (and all other vampires) Kindred as a reminder of their origins in humanity. Camarilla vampires are often referred to as the people of Keen, an archaic term for cattle. Anarchy Movement - Alleged faction in Camarilla, The Anarchy Movement are decentralized vampire groups scattered around the world who question what they see as Camarilla's outdated controls. It contains a wide range of ideologies, but they believe in a more equitable redistribution of power between Kindred. The Sabbath, nicknamed the Cain's Sword, was formed during the Uprising of Anarchy in response to the oppressive rule of the older vampires. The Sabbaths do not openly follow the Tradition, but adhere to the system of self-government, freedom and interdependence set out in the Milan Code. The Sabbats actively believe that Gehenne is real, and it is their duty to protect the Cainites from the predation of the Antediluws. The Sabbath consider themselves superior to humans and ultimately believe that they should rule the human world, not hide from it. Many of them have a blatant disregard for human life, as manifested in the brutal tactics they use in Jihad. While anyone can supposedly claim to be a member of Camarilla, Sabbath has brutal initiation rites where the characters must prove their loyalty. They also practice cult rituals and form a ceremonial group called Blood Bonding, called Vaulderie, to ensure loyalty. 8:19-22, 288 Sabbath despises the idea that vampires will be related, calling themselves Cainites and emphasizing their origins in Cain's blood. They often use more vulgar epithets for their human vessels. 8:19-22 Inconnu - A mysterious sect of elders is rumored to have reached or in pursuit of Golconda; a kind of redemptive transcendence for the Damned. The most visible feature of the sect is its observers, who are sometimes at their place of residence in the territory. Tal'Mahe'Ra - Otherwise known as the True Black Hand, Tal'Mahe'Ra is a strange and insular sect with its base of operations deep in the Shadows. His motives and goals are unknown, and most of them know very little about it. The Independents are operating outside Camarilla or Sabbath. Many of them function as small sects, such as The Followers of Seth or Giovanni, with specific agendas in mind. Others such as Ravnos are more individualistic. The assassins lie between these extremes, having a centralized hierarchy in the Middle East, but generally acting as freelance mercenaries. These are the only four proper clans to be considered Independent (until the third edition of the game in which the Gangrel clan officially left Camarilla), but the antitribu fragments of other clans can become independent agencies, like the more minor Bloody Lines, which do not have the full status of the clan. The vampire, who rejects all associations with any sect and clan, is known as Atarkis. Laibon, called Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom of Western Kindred, is not so much a sect as a cultural group bound together freely by a powerful spiritual connection with the land and people of Africa. Kindred East, while sharing some superficial similarities with the western Kindred, is actually a completely different variety of supernatural beings. Clan clan of vampire family character. All members of the clan are said to be descended from the founder of the Antediluvian clan. It is widely accepted that there are thirteen clans with thirteen founders, although not all of them are technically Antediluv. Some clan founders, such as Giovanni or Tremere, usurped their position through Diablerie. Clans may have a social or political component, but the clan is not something that the character chooses; that's what they're covered in. 13 Vampire Clans: Masquerade introduces the use of 13 clans (or major pedigrees). Each adopted clan can trace its origins to one of the 13 older vampires known as the antediluvia because they have survived the biblical flood of God. Each Antediluvier is the grandson of Cain, who killed Abel and was cursed by God and His archangels to become the first vampire. Through the back story of the game, the Antediluvians started a war among themselves, called Jyhad, and used their clans to fight this war for them. Each clan and Bloodline has a unique set of forces called Discipline, and their own set of weaknesses is also unique to this particular vampire branch. Banu Hakim formerly known as Assamite Until the 5th edition: Cult of the Undead Killers based in the Middle East. They kill by hiring, and pay in Vitae for use in special rituals that bring clan members closer to Cain. They possess a specialized discipline called Silent, which helps in stealth and killing. In the ancient past, Tremer imposed a curse on the entire clan to rein in their rampant Diablry. As a result, the clan could not consume Vitae without suffering terrible wounds and unable to benefit from Diablerie. (This curse was broken in the third edition of the game, and the Antitribu faction in Sabbath has never been affected by it; uncursed assamites are instead very susceptible to blood addiction, and may be forced to obsessively attack other vampires for their Vitae). Assamites are largely independent of sects. 8:20, 49 After joining Camarilla they were officially recognized banu Hakim Child as it turned out, the previous name was a disregard in their culture. Bruja: In ancient times, Bruja was a clan of noble philosophers and warrior poets. After the loss of their city of Carthage, which was their crowning achievement, they became a clan of non-hosts, rebels, crooks and anti-authoritarian. Bruja has great passion, but this same passion makes it more difficult for them to resist the beast. Bruja is one of the seven founding clans of Camarilla. 8:20, 51 After the uprising of Theo Bell, who killed Hardestadt in Prague, they left in numbers to join the Anarch movement and are usually leaders. Gangrel: A clan of animal-breeding turnovers that shun cities for wildlife beyond. Independent and more interested in their own survival, Gangrel prefer to work with wild animals rather than play politics with others of their kind. Gangrel are masters of the Protean discipline, which allows them to change their bodies into cattle-body forms. When Gangrel is mad, they resemble the beast, taking on animal features and ugliness. Gangrel is one of the seven founding clans of Camarilla, although their leadership broke out of it near the end of the 1990s in the universe. 8:20, 54-55 Is now more associated with the sect of anarchy or acting as independent with several to remain loyal to Camarilla. Giovanni emerged from a wealthy Venetian merchant family of necromancers whose patriarch, August Giovanni, was admitted to the Cappadocian clan. Giovanni destroyed the parent clan, diablerized its founder and founded a new clan, but thus gained the enmity of the larger Kindred community. Branded Devil Kindred, Giovanni made peace with the rest of the clan, vowing to remain neutral in Jyhad. Giovanni are cohesive and well organized, and they cover only in certain mortal families. Giovanni is primarily interested in wealth and necromance, but it is just a means for purpose. The founder of the clan wants to remove the barrier between the living world and the dead to reign. The weakness of the clan is that their bite (which in other vampires is usually pleasant to the victim) causes excruciating pain. Giovanni is independent. After the siege of the Second Inquisition and other factors, the clan is considered almost extinct, except for the ancient fortress. Lasombra: Darkly aristocratic vampires, Lasombr sees power over others and self-confidence as their nobility obliges. As one of the two founding clans of the Sabbath, they gained notoriety for allegedly destroying their founder, anthediluvian. Lasobra practices a discipline known as Obtenebration, which allows them to manipulate shadows and darkness. Perhaps as a result of their signature Discipline they do not appear in mirrors or on film that uses in its development. 58- 59 Leadership Lasombra officially joined Camarilla in the 5th edition of Chicago By Night. Malkavier: Malkavier is a clan of lunatics whose madness gives them strange ideas. Their discipline of dementation allows them to spread their madness like the plague (before the third edition, knowledge of this discipline was suppressed in Camarilla). All members of this clan are somehow insane. They are one of the seven founding clans of Camarilla. 8:20, 60-61 Nosferatu: The Nosferatu Clan is doomed to wear its scots nature outside. Embrace turn their victims into disgusting and deformed monsters that marginalized their appearance and forced to live in the shadows of the sewer. However, their lives on the periphery and their hidden abilities allow them to learn secrets that others would prefer to hide; as a result, they often use information. All Nosferatu are ugly and obviously monsters to the point that appear openly upset masquerade. They are one of the founders of Camarillo. 8:20, 62-63 Ravnos: Clan Less is known as outs and outsies, restless thieves and charlatans. While some follow Indian spiritual beliefs about the cycles of incarnation, others are mere opportunists, taking advantage of all chaos. Equally rarely covers those who are not of Eastern European Gypsy origin. They practice a special discipline known as chimes that allows them to create illusions. All equally betrayed a certain vice as their clan weakness. Ravnos are independent. After the siege of the Second Inquisition and other factors, the clan is considered almost extinct, except for the ancient serfs:63 Ministry, formerly known as the Followers of Seth: Originally, the clan of cultists who worship their ancestors' ancestors, the Egyptian god snake Seta. They are masters of secret and forbidden knowledge and contribute to corruption and despair in the world as part of their worship of their god. Their signature discipline was Serpentis, allowing them to take on aspects of snakes. Networks are particularly sensitive to light and cause twice as much damage from sunlight as other kindred. Set followers regardless of sects consider themselves a sect in themselves. As part of the rebranding of the ministry, they teamed up with anarchists, with this rebranding they seemingly softened their views and occultist ideals for a more independent religion, where within each of his followers there is Seth. Toredor: Toredor is sensitive, artistic and sometimes depraved hedonists, fascinated by the mortal world and his artistic creations. Fascinated by the ever-changing mortal world, they are one of the few clans that strive to keep up with it. Toreador often hugs for or retain artistic talent. Beauty can completely captivate them by immobilizing them for a period of time. They are one of the seven founding clans of Camarilla. 8:20, 68-69 Tremere: Tremere is a clan of blood sorcerers and magicians originally owned by the Order of Hermes. Tremere gained their immortal status by experimenting with Cimitica Vitae. Their ambitious founder diablerized the antediluvian of the former Salubri clan, reinforcing Tremere's status as a clan. Their discipline of Thaumaturgy allows them to use the power of their blood to give out spells, but their dependence on Vitae makes them more easily susceptible to blood bonds. The clan is very organized, and all its members are partly associated with the ruling seven clan elders. They are one of the seven founding clans of Camarilla. 8:20 a.m. 68-69 After the chantry in Vienna was destroyed in 2008, cutting off the head of the Pyramid Clan split into four houses: One still called himself the house of Tremere, under the direction of Carl Shrekt maintaining tradition, house Goratrix resurged to adhere to strict recruitment, but not much is still known, the House of Karne, which takes on all looking , also seeks to modernize - newly formed house Ipsimsis that totally Anarchy aligned by focusing on the spirituality of their condition over structure. (11):94, 385:170-172 Tzimisce: The otherworldly and scientific, Cimice ruled their lands in Eastern Europe for centuries. Like Lasombra, Tsimis also claims to have destroyed its founder and are pillars of Sabbath. Alien but mystical, the Cimis use their unique flesh and bones to form the Discipline of Perverseness to transform themselves into higher beings. The cymies are deeply related to the lands where they were covered. If they do not rest in close proximity to at least two handfuls of land where they were born or embraced, they become increasingly weakened. In the 5th edition they are considered one of the two remaining clans in Sabbath, but are left alone when Lasomba joins Camarilla. (12):126 Ventru: Ventru are aristocrats and vampire kings, historically playing a leading role among clans. Ventrue seeks power and wealth to support its government legacy over Kindred and Kine. Ventrue, like a clan, can only feed from a certain type of vessel (e.g. virgins, blondes, younger siblings) that the player chooses by creating a character. 8:20, 72-73 Antitribu Most Sabbat vampires consider themselves anti-clans or anti-tribune in rebellion against the values, goals or loyalty of their parent clans. For example, Toredor in Sabbath considers himself a Toreador antitribu. Some rebel or distort the expectations of their clans, while others are more radical in considering the core of their lineage Some of them are so different that they are considered different pedigrees, exhibiting different disciplines, weaknesses or even another name. 8:43 Lasombra and Tsimis do not consider themselves anti-tribune, as most of their members are in Sabbath. Lasombra outside Sabbath is considered anti-tribune, while the Cimis outside The Sabbath are called the Old Clan. The subbott of Seth's Followers is known as the Snake of the Light, and rejected both the founder of the clan and its Egyptian origins, in favor of the cultural attributes of Caribbean voodoo. On the other hand, 436, 439 Bloodlines Bloodlines, either cannot trace their ancestry to the founder of Antediluvian, or too few in number to be considered a major player in Jihad. Some Blood Lines are considered branches of existing clans. All pedigrees are considered exceptionally rare in the game, resulting in most interactions and storylines centered around the clans. 393 Baali: The obscure and vicious pedigree of demon-worshipping vampires is legendary from Baal Destroyer. Baali practices a dark discipline called Daimoinon, which allows them to summon the forces of hell, study dark secrets, or exploit the weaknesses of others. Baali is repelled by holy symbols. If Baali joins the sect at all, they do so under false preparations. Their true loyalty to their hellish master. (8):395 Blood Brothers: Members of Sabbat. Artificially created as percussion troops, they are born in groups of seemingly identical twins or triplets etc., and have the right to share wounds, appendages and even disciplines with other members of the same group. Daughters of the cacophony: a mysterious mixture of Malkavyan, Toredor, and Ventrue, who all claim origins for pedigree, Daughters of cacophony are dedicated to singing of all kinds. They practice a special discipline called Melpominee, which allows them to raise their voice to increase their beauty, or even cause madness or wounds. Daughters exist in small numbers in both sects or as independents. 8:398-399 Gargoyles: Created by Tremere from other kindred during their early nights to protect them from their gargoyle pedigree opponents exactly what the name entails: stone-skinned, demonic-looking, winged monsters that are designed to haunt the exterior of the castles. Some remain enslaved by Tremere's magic, but others are freed and joined Camarilla. Aside from being disgusting, Gargoyles easily fall prey to supernatural mind control. Harbingov Turtles: According to rumors, this is an ancient pedigree, just awakened from numbness, harbingers of skulls are necromances, true only to Sabbath. They resemble rotting corpses, similar to Samedov. Some believe that they are long-lost remains of Cappidoans. Kiasyd: and diligent, fair-touched Kiasyd Kiasyd from the Lasombra clan. They are a rare pedigree supposedly loyal to Sabbat, but are more interested in their scholarship than Jyhad. Iron inflicts terrible wounds on them and can even infuriate them. 8:405-406 Laibon: Originally presented as a single bloody line of African vampires, which were later expanded into multi-clan society with their own hardcover source book. Lamia: A particularly obscure bloodline, considered extinct. Lhiannon: Celtic vampires with druid witchcraft. The thought is extinct. Nagaraja: Members of the True Black Hand. Asian vampires who eat flesh and also drink blood. Old Cimice clan: Members of the True Black Hand. The Cimitz clan as they were before coming to Sabbath and being infected with the discipline of Vissicitude. The legendary Dracula is most likely a member of the Old Clan, and other ancestry have similar features - a background in the Slavic aristocracy, a deep connection with the lands of Carpathia and so on. Salubri: Salubri were one of thirteen original clans until their founder, Saulo, was diablerized by Tremere. Since then the pedigree has almost been hunted for extinction by the hands of its usurpers. Away from the reputation of its evil diablers, the former clan practices the Discipline known as Obeya, which has the power to heal bodies and minds. The pedigree intentionally keeps itself small with only seven in existence at any given time. The whole pedigree is dedicated to the search for Golconda. Salumbri can't feed on reluctant victims. All this is not true of the Sabbath branch of Salobri, who are as evil as the original Salobri, good, practicing compulsive warfare and using their valeren discipline, perversion and reversal of Obei to literally steal human souls. Because of the combination of Tremere's propaganda and encounters with the Antitribu faction, Salubry is generally afraid and reviled by almost all the vampires that keeps them on the periphery of vampire society. (8):409- 410 Samedi: The hideous necromantic pedigree emerging from the Caribbean, being ridden by Samedi literally makes the victim appear as a walking corpse. One of the few vampires as horrible as Nosferatu, Samedi practice necromanti and special discipline called atatosis, which they use to weaken or cause death in others. Samedi exist in small numbers in both sects or as independents.:410-411 True Brujah: Members of the True Black Hand. Allegedly the original Bruja clan, whose Antediluvian was displaced by the renegade offspring of its founder. Practically opposite the false Bruje, members of the pedigree are cold-bloodedly unemotional, but have the ability to manipulate the passage of time. Receiving In the November 1991 edition of Dragon (issue 175), did not like the unprofessional values of the production gamebook, pointing to amateur works of art and copy editing. Varney also found the rules surprisingly lacking in detail. However, he welcomed a wide range of recommendations for the campaign. There are whole chapters on how to plot stories, maintain suspense, handle players, and so on. He concluded by saying, If you are ready for a powerful and even passionate role-playing experience, look for this game. In a 1996 reader survey conducted by Arcane magazine to identify the 50 most popular role-playing games of all time, Vampire: The Masquerade ranked 6th. Editor Paul Pettengeil commented: Vampire has always been the most popular of World of Darkness games, which shows both the constant appeal of the vampire itself, and the structure and design of the game. Like all storyteller range, it's not an easy game to get right and it depends heavily on the players and the referee putting a lot of effort and imagination into their roles. With a good band, however, this can be a very interesting and thought-provoking game, and one of the most effective horrors of RPG around. Despite its tendency to take itself a little seriously, Vampire: The Masquerade has a lot to offer a more mature and serious gamer. In 1991, Vampire: The Masquerade was among the top ten best-selling role-playing games of the year in the United States.
