The Book of Places

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Storytelling in the World of Darkness is typically a verbal exercise. The group huddles around the proverbial fireplace, trading elements from our psyche in hopes of building a memorable experience. Players and storytellers alike paint a picture with words, collectively birthing a new reality into our consciousness.

But Let’s Get Real for a Second.

Yes, that all sounds like some life-changing, transcendent affair. We are all players trying to make sense of fictional events made up in someone else’s head in the real world. So slap whatever nifty word you want on it; vampire: the Masquerade is still a game. Sometimes, you need more than just words and interpretation to realize a scene. If you’re the Storyteller, sometimes you need more than your imagination to set the stage for your players – be it for the prince’s haven, the coterie’s hideout, or the final stand of your big bad.

Just kind of what should have been made for books like Haven of the Damned or V20 Companion (even if those books are already nice of course).
It's useful for anyone from a player, a Storyteller or a writer that want to describe places and items in general.

Great descriptions, great storytelling of those places as introductions, this book is not perfect only because there is not enough places described in it ! ;)
We never have enough of these.

Thank you Nathan !

Thank you very much! I have four or five additional locations in my vault, so if people like the book enough, maybe I'll do another one. I appreciate your support, Yves! If you're ever in Chicago, let me know.

This book is a gem. A great in depth look at "typical" locations found in the world of darkness. It's full of story ideas and isn't edition dependent. While the maps aren't professionally done, they are surprisingly detailed and perfect as a hand drawn maps passed on to a character in a back alley deal.
I strongly recommend it to new and old storytellers alike.

Thanks for your kind words! I definitely drew the maps to give them that feel. Thanks for recommending the book, and I hope it helps in your next chronicle.

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.
