Renegade Game Studios Vampire The Masquerade: Core Rule Book (Fifth Edition)

This substantial rule book was purchased as a replacement for my 1990's first edition rules. It is very well written and bound. Highly recommend adding page tabs to the sections you will need most so you can zip back and forth during the game. As a role playing Vampire the Masquerade (VtM) tries to make the role playing (playing a role) more important than roll playing (rolling dice). If that is what you are looking for in a game, then I highly recommend this rule book!

This is my first time looking over a ttrpg that isn’t D&D and wow! The book itself is impressive. Art work is good, the book is well made and interesting to read. The only thing I will say is it seems daunting to learn. I’m a little nervous about starting the game but I *think* I understand enough to try!

Starting my journey with Vampire The Masquarade has been a treat, but this book has a lot of merit on its own. It's beautiful decorated and quite easy to read.

I was a bit dubious about ordering after reading the previous reviews. This book arrived quickly, all cellophane in tact and in good condition. There is a little wear at the corner of the book, see pictures, but other than that it is perfect. No horror stories such as the other reviews. There is no pdf thing in it, and I don't know if there's supposed to be one as its not advertised as having it.

Has all that you need to know about the game

The book is really nice, art and rules are good. Having fun with it and would recommend it

great content and well presented.

Vampire 5th Edition is pretty great. However my review is for this particular item on amazon, which is fulfilled by Amazon themselves, rather than the system or contents. I wish I'd listened to the other reviews as someone in their warehouse is opening the shrink wrap and damaging the book in the process, stealing the codes redeemable for a free PDF copy, and then shipping the books out like this. Disgusting. There's a separate Amazon listing fulfilled by Asmodee, use that or a different site entirely. Mine looks like its 2nd hand and I get no PDF code, completely unacceptable and probably illegal.

Pobre control de calidad. Mi libro de Hunter: the Reckoning llegó en un estado similar a éste. Una pena porque no son libros baratos.

I have very fond memories of role-playing during highschool, college and beyond, particularly White Wolf games. One thing that always bothered me about their books was the inconsistency of the art. I certainly don't mind a variety of artists with different styles, but they ranged from incredibly skillful to a few steps above Napoleon Dynamite's drawings. This art in this book is consistent in quality. I'm an old school VtM player. I had no interest in V20 and didn't care for the apocalyptic scenarios that closed out 2nd Ed, but I listened to a podcast where they played this and really dug the mechanics. I feel like the Beast is far more present and can't be gamed away in this version, and that struggle should always be there, looming over everything. The new mechanics are smooth, too, which is awesome, because I hate when dice-rolling brings role-playing to a halt. I also like the changes to who's in the Camarilla and why. The world feels like it developed organically from the WoD of 25 or 30 years ago. Some of the big things they tried to introduce back in the day seemed to be attempting to upset the game and shock people, but this feels more like early ASoIaF, where you read it and say, "Yep, that makes sense." You don't need the official dice, but I think they're cool and add to the fun, and they are very functional with the new mechanics, so I recommend those as an add-on.

Ich finde mich zwar nicht so ganz in den Regeln wieder, aber das liegt eher an meiner engstirnigen "früher war alles besser"-Natur. Die Bilder sind Geschmackssache (Nosferatu sind eindeutig zu hübsch im Buch). Aber die Qualität des Buches ist sehr gut und die Regeln gefallen der Person, für die es gekauft worden ist. Ich vermisse nur meine Tzimisce, hätte die lieber auch in einem Buch stehen gehabt, als in einer PDF

good

Shipped fast really nice book thank you
