Tourniquet: V5 Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Tourniquet is a set of guidelines and rules to help you navigate your way through playing Vampire the Masquerade when you are alone. It utilizes a set of Oracles and the Scales of Trouble and Grace to help you produce narrative change with nearly every roll of the dice. Tourniquet helps you tell the story of a solo character while easing the burden of having to generate character action, setting detail and narrative results from scratch. It is not a storyteller emulator, but offers you a chance to play Vampire in a new way. It is a best fit for players who like to fill in the blanks and drive their own story.

These rules are updated, streamlined and modified from the original Tourniquet rules to fit within Vampire the Masquerade 5th edition.

If you have the previous version of Tourniquet or Tabula Rasa, a few of the oracles remain the same between products. Tabula Rasa and Tourniquet V5 Edition work well together to give a solo play experience from character background to current night.

Hello, would this be compatible with Vampire the Requiem first edition and/ or other WOD first edition games? Many thanks :)

It has been awhile since I have read the Requiem books, but I imagine parts of this pdf won't help without conversion. For example, in Requiem you gain successes on an 8+. Which means the success/scale ratio would be off. You'd have to adjust that. The advice on turning the game player facing in this pdf won't help since Requiem has a different approach. If you wanted to try it you could "take a third" instead of "taking half" for rolls against Storyteller characters, and reduce the difficulty chart to be more in line with Requiem.

Many of the charts in this book will help with any vampire game (SPC type, SPC Action, SPC Target, Conversation type, locations, etc). The Story Oracle is universal, as is the advice on Exploring Forward in order to tell the story.

Not sure if that helps, but the summary is that: The whole pdf will not work with Requiem but parts of it will.

I didn't plan on making a printer-friendly version. That doesn't mean I won't now that I know someone wants one. I might be able to do a tiny text only pdf, since making the graphics printer friendly would be hard. I'll give it some thought. Not sure when I'll get around to doing it but it's in my mind now.

How different is this version from the original?

The biggest change in my opinion is the reduction in rules. V5 essentially has player facing rolls from the start so cutting out the advice on how to turn the rules player facing was the biggest change. Then of course adjusting the advice to fit the V5 rules.

The scale of Trouble and Grace was split in two, so they are independent of each other. I found in my games doing this caused more changes to happen and made it more dynamic. Trouble and Grace no longer have major and minor abilities and you can spend the points on the scales to adjust rolls on Oracles.

There are a few more Oracles and I added in how to use the Story Oracle to track goals with Trouble and Grace.

I like the changes to Trouble and Grace in this version but the original version of Tourniquet has better advice for older vampire editions when it comes to changing the older game rules to be more player focused.

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.
