An introduction to the World of Darkness

Bringing new players into the game can be tricky. While the basic rules are easy to learn, Vampire the Masquerade is a lore-rich game with numerous clans and sects and powers to discover, which can be overwhelming for new players. 

This small product is designed to help Storytellers provide an easier on-ramp for new players. Including: 

  • A couple pages of brief advice for Storytellers, related to introducing new players to the setting and its lore.
  • One-page handouts of lore for the two main sects along with the basics of vampirism. Print the relevant one out and hand it to your players. 
  • One-page lore handouts for 10 clans with suggested advantages and flaws. Print seperately or on the flip side of the sect handout.

Also included are over two-dozen short snippets of lore, which can be cut-out and handed to players as information their character knows, allowing them to contribute to sharing lore and

Thanks!

I decided to hold back on having too many hand-outs. Two pages to read is a lot at a table (and gets slower if someone is reading multiple clans). That's a big reason why the independent clans were omitted: giving people seven clans to choose from is already a lot of options.

Some things—like Hunters/ Second Inquisition—felt like details better revealed in-play after the first session. Plus, whether or not the SI will be a big part of the Chronicle is up to the Storyteller: I didn't want to set-up a plot that wasn't going to be used. If the SI is a threat, it feels like the warnings should happen at the table in-character rather than being read.

The Sabbat was tricky. They've been omitted as a playable faction for V5 (and I personally rather agree with that decision), so it felt off to include them and not, say, the Ashirra or Autarkis. As antagonists, they work better if players *don't* know about them. If they're mysterious and unknown.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
