Pros: Whether you LARP, play board games, or dabble in AD&D, if you love atmospheric horror with riveting storytelling and great world-building, I would definitely recommend this book. For me it's mainly rooted in nostalgia (thanks to VTM: Bloodlines) and a love for Lovecraftian horror. This book can easily serve to inspire stories or adventures for whatever RPG system you have at home. I personally use VTM's lore while using my own home-brewed RPG system that's strongly influenced by 1st Ed. AD&D. Cons: I never cared too much for VTM's combat and dice system, so you can take it or leave it.

This book is the core rulebook of one of the greatest Role Playing Games ever made. "Vampire: The Masquerade" is a game based in the World of Darkness, a setting created by White Wolf, and is a storytelling game where players assume the roles of the Undead, belonging to one of thirteen clans who, despite allegiances made, are locked in a struggle for dominance, while the end of the world looms like a shadow just outside of their vision. Well researched, superbly written, thoughtful, insightful, and above all, fun, I highly recommend this book for any Vampire afficionado, aspiring horror writer, improv actor, bored D&D player, gamer, or...just about anyone looking for entertainment. With the layers and layers of backstory and hand-crafted background information, this book is sure to bring years (that's right, years) of entertainment to almost anyone who picks it up and decides to play. Unfortunately, since they've gone out of print they are extremely hard to find; but if you can find a copy, my suggestion would be to grab it as fast as you can. It is definitely worth the money.Read full review
I’ve always loved vampires, so a role playing game devoted to them was a must-have for me (although it took a decade for me to pick up my own copy of the rules). The rules cover every bit of vampire lore and life thoroughly. While I have only the main rule book and the Players Guide, there are many, many sourcebooks out there for this game, adding to the number of clans, skills, and goodies you can slip into your game. Being the vampire aficionado that I am, I would enjoy spending some time playing Masquerade on a regular basis. The basic system is smooth, and the game is creative while remaining loyal to mythology. I’m told by avid players that the entire collection of World of Darkness games [which includes such rpgs as Werewolf: the Apocalypse, Mage: the Ascension, Mummy: the Resurrection, and Doorman: the Bouncing) are generally compatible, so your vampire characters could interact with your mages or werewolves or changelings or what have you. So, from a support standpoint, there’s always room to expand your vampires’ world outside the V:tM rules if that sort of thing crackles your Krispies. Plus, who could resist blurting out “Ah vant to suck yor bluuuud!” in an outrageous Slavic accent? I give Vampire the Masquerade +++++!Read full review
