Legion: Backgrounds Expanded

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Legions of short-lived mortals serve the monstrous vampires secretly living among them.

Often derided as cattle or unworthy of knowing the truth, the human populations fulfill
needs most vampires hate to admit depending on. Some among the mortals prove
themselves as especially valuable. Yet others merely keep their horrible masters fed.


Vampires gather all types of resources throughout their unlives. Reputation, wealth,
hoarded secrets, and tools of destruction cloak the vampire and protect her from the
covetous and jealous. From their dark estates, the undead command their legions.


Legion includes:


• Expanded discussions about every Background found in Vampire: The Masquerade
20th Anniversary Edition
;
• Advice for using Backgrounds to enrich characters and to tell better stories;
• Optional rules, including a modified Generation system, powerful Retainers, and
expanded Domain functions; and
Five new Backgrounds adapted from other World of Darkness books: Armory, Cultus,
Library, Mob, and Spies.

Fast question: taking into account your definitions for Retainers, Allies and Mob, which set of backgrounds should support a personal militia of some kind (e.g. guards for a huge mason, a team of generic contractor, a criminal organization)? So a group of person devoted to violence because they are paid (or bribed, or loyal).

I am not sure what quantity of people you are asking about, but I would generally go with Allies (underbosses), each contributing dots in the Mob background. Couple that with Armory and Resources and maybe some Domain and Cultus...and you would have a very scary situation for anyone opposing that vampire.

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.
