This book will provide both an overview of the World of Darkness, the setting in which Vampire: the Requiem is played, and an in-depth look at getting started with Vampire. It will help readers through character creation, choosing the right path, understanding Bloodlines, and deciding which secret Vampiric Orders to join-- so that they can create the kind of
vampire they most desire to play-from Dracula to the Lost Boys. The book also provides advice for Games Masters, teaching them new tricks for creating mood and tension in the stories they play and how to engender creative experiences their players will talk about for years to come.
