While this system is marginally more complicated than those in use for tests, it’s still overall pretty simple and has some interesting effects on the way that tests are performed. Obviously, the characters in Vampire: The Masquerade 5 th Edition are vampires, and therefore they do eventually hunger for blood. It also makes communicating how to play to a new player quite easy, since the number of points in each stat is represented visually by a small dot for each dice in the pool. Instead of needing to figure out bonuses, or different types of dice, only 1 type of dice is ever used. As systems for tests go this is a relatively simple one. Everything that’s a 6 or above is a success, and everything else is a failure, and each task requires a number of successes defined by the storyteller. This is done by the Storyteller giving one or more attributes and skills to the player, who then adds up the points in the given areas, and rolls that many D10. When performing a test of some kind to see if a character successfully performs an action the player in question has to build a dice pool. Once you get past the lore the rules are pretty simple. The artwork does a good job of making the gist of each clan pretty damn apparent. Even if you decide to skip this and come back later on the next segment is then more lore to read through about what exactly the masquerade is and why it is important. The first thing that you see when opening the book is a 10-page letter from one character you’ve likely never heard of, to another character you’ve likely never heard of. At first glance Vampire The Masquerade 5 th Edition might be a bit overwhelming if you’re not already well-versed in the lore of the series. If you aren’t aware we did a brief preview of the book a few months ago once we’d had the chance to give it a quick read through. Vampire the Masquerade 5th Edition starts out with far too much lore for the average player. Does it pull off what it set out to do? Let’s find out. The newest edition of the game promises to be the easiest for new players to learn yet, possibly hoping to capitalize on the upcoming release of the much-awaited Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2. Vampire The Masquerade 5 th Edition is the 5 th release (obviously) of the vampire-themed RPG from White Wolf Games. So obviously the two have coincided many times in the past. Another topic so well-trodden in popular culture that it could just as easily be described as trampled is vampires.
From Call of Cthulhu to Lamentations of the Flame Princess (yes that counts as horror don’t me) horror is some pretty well-trodden ground. One of the places that TTRPGs love to go is horror. From fantasy to sci-fi, to weird mixtures of both, even totally out there topics like the history of the Mormons. Tabletop RPGs have covered a vast variety of topics over the years.
