Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Ed Core Book Hardback

Vampire: The Masquerade is the original and ultimate
 roleplaying game of personal and political horror. You are a vampire,
 struggling for survival, supremacy, and your own fading humanity—afraid
 of what you are capable of, and fearful of the inhuman conspiracies that
 surround you.

As a vampire you suffer the pangs of the Hunger, the relentless and
terrible thirst for human blood. If you refuse to deal with it, it will
overcome your mind and drive you to terrible acts to slake it. You walk
this razor's edge every night.

Dark designs, bitter enemies, and strange allies await you in this World of Darkness.

The classic that changed roleplaying games forever returns! This
fifth edition features a streamlined and modern rules design, beautiful
new full-color art, and a rich story experience for players. Powered by
the innovative Hunger cycle, the game also includes rules for creating
system supported character coteries, Loresheets to directly involve
players with their favorite parts of the setting and The Memoriam, a new
way to bring the character's detailed backgrounds and expand on them
in-session.

V5 is a return to Vampire's original vision, moving boldly into the
21st century. While the rules have been redesigned, this new edition
honors the deep story of the original, advancing the metaplot from where
it left off and detailing exactly what has happened in the world of the
Kindred up until tonight. The terror of the Second Inquisition, the
conspiracies behind the Gehenna War, and the rekindling of the War of
Ages: these are the building blocks of the modern V5 chronicle. --
