Welcome to the Danse Macabre

Since time immemorial, the Kindred — vampires — have stalked their prey, unseen by the mortal masses. Their world is a xenophobic nightmare, populated by tyrannical despots, wildeyed heretics, bloodthirsty rogues and scheming manipulators, all unified by the mysterious curse of vampirism. And you would join them? You would live forever? To play the lusts of mortals like a violinist plays the strings? Then beware, the price is steep to enter the neofeudal hell that the Damned have wrought.

”They say we are inbred and perverse. They say we are amoral, evil. They are not wrong. But we are chosen.” – Benedetto, Sangiovanni Prodigy

These vampires shouldn’t exist. Arrogant, violent, and proud, their notorious bloodlines discolor the weave of Kindred society. They are feared and reviled, cursed and low – and almost every single one of them identifies as an extraordinary agent of vampire destiny. For better or worse, they may be right.

Foul Ancestry

"In the dark corners we dwell, still-born Kindred for whom your clans have no meaning. Our blood is your blood, yet different. It has been willed, strained and afflicted until it has taken a different course in our veins. We are your worst nightmare, childer who defy your designs to forge our own veiled destinies. Placate us, serve us and we might give you a taste of our secrets."

Horrors of the Modern Night

Bloodlines: The Hidden is the first in a new Vampire series that focuses on the refinements and abuses of undead blood. Drawn from the shadows are 12 bloodlines from all five clans, lineages that diverge from the clans and that have dedicated the ages to keeping their existence secret, or to lurking on the edges of discovery, devising their own inscrutable machinations. And now you can play them. Hardcover.

These are the vampires other Kindred whisper about in the dark. These monstrous lineages, terrifying, taboo and bizarre, mystify even the Damned. Each is surrounded with a fog of rumor and myth that makes the truth of their power impossible to know for certain—until their fatal flesh is faced in person. This sequel to the highly successful Bloodlines: The Hidden™ features nine new bloodlines, each with unique supernatural Disciplines or blood magics, along with and intriguing history and collection of mysterious legends for each bloodline, so Storytellers can introduce them with an aura of fear.

Bloodlines: The Legendary™ is a 128-page hardcover for Vampire: The Requiem.

This book includes:

Idealism and Blood

They are the young idealists and passionate revolutionaries of the Damned, rallying in the dark against the jagged, outdated social chains of Kindred society. When Carthians have their way, the Danse Macabre plays out on a level floor still sticky with blood. Come together and change the night!

"We don't worship the same gods, you and I, but we're more alike than you think. Together, we are keeping something alive - something that has lived for thousands of years despite the wavering faith of mortal men. The old gods are not dead. They live within us. We give them life, warm blood, and they keep us from death. That's our covenant, our promise. Everything else is fashion." - Gwenyth the Grey, Acolyte Princess-in-Exile

Thralls of the Damned

Slaves to the addictive taste of vampiric Vitae, ghouls trade servitude for that heady substance.

Among those known as blood slaves, there's no such thing as "just one fix."

Bound to the Night

There When You Need it

There’s nothing more frustrating for a Vampire: The Requiem™ Storyteller than searching for that one rule during a game. Well, that and needing to use a Discipline and not having enough Vitae. At least we can solve the first one. Here’s everything you need in one place.

All You Need Before Your Eyes

White Wolf® introduces this useful reference tool for Vampire® Storytellers. The screen is made from thick, durable cardboard stock and displays all the necessary rules and charts for easy reference during game sessions. This is no flimsy screen.

Something Wicked This Way Comes…

Vampires are loath to risk their unlives by relocating to new cities. Blood is in scarce supply, werewolves haunt the wilds, and newcomers may break rules upon arrival that they never knew existed. Still, some vampires put the entire Requiem on the line for a taste of the freedom that the road offers — while others do it to escape their past.

So Let’s Get the Hell Out of Here

A guide to survival outside protected cities, Nomads offers vampires a chance to leave their old domains behind and begin a new Requiem, or to simply go abroad and return home to the evils they know all too well. Begin a new chronicle or take an old one on the road, abandoning characters’ greatest achievements and most deadly failures. Hardcover.

With video games, you sometimes hear talk of the “replay factor.” How is the game the second time through? Or the third? How many times can you play a game before it gets old? Part of the beauty of a Storytelling game, of course, is that the replay factor is limited only by your time and your willingness to play the game in different ways. Which is to say, the replay factor of Vampire: The Requiem is practically infinite.

But it doesn’t always feel that way. The trick to tapping into the immortality of a Storytelling game is to try new things. Play out chronicles that are different from those you’ve already played. We’ll show you how.

The Requiem Chronicler’s Guide shows you how to create chronicles that are still distinctly Vampire, but in a new way. You’ll see how to make the subject of a chronicle vitally important to the gameplay, by altering the game mechanics to drive home the chronicle’s unique style and themes. You can even alter the core Vampire paradigm as you explore new chronicle styles. Justin Achilli, for example, examines Vampire without clans in one of the book’s articles.

While Storyteller tricks for narration, scene-setting, and so forth will certainly play a part here, this isn’t a touchy-feely book of fluff. This isn’t a self-help book, it’s a do-it-yourself guide. It isn’t psychology so much as carpentry. It’s not ink blots and pills as much as hammers and nails.

This book includes:

“I shall sleep but not rest.”

Slain by his enemies and cursed by God, Vlad Dracula arose from the battlefield as a ravening beast, hungry for the blood of men. For centuries the son of the Dragon has haunted the earth, driven by an implacable will to unravel the mysteries of the Embrace — and to master them. The Requiem is no mournful elegy to one such as the Impaler. It is the riddle of the ages, and at its heart may lie the key to life itself.

“I gird myself for battle, not of the body, but the mind.”

Rites of the Dragon is the testament of Dracula himself, written in his own words. Within you learn the story of his transformation and quest to unlock the secrets of his undead existence. Hardcover.

An Invincible Legacy

You don't believe me? You think I am lying? You think I would lie to my Prince about something like this? Seven did this to your people liege. Here, tonight, the truth was in this room.

Strange Bedfellows

The Kindred are solitary predators, yet something within compels them to seek out others of their kind. Whether formed as a social faction, a cult of heretics, a consortium of conspirators or as an exercise in safety in numbers, a coterie of Kindred is no strange thing to see after sunset. How, then, do its members reconcile their bestial urges with the demands of nightly unlife?

Trust Doesn’t Come Easily

Coteries examines the “family unit” of Kindred society. Broken down by sect and clan relations, this book sheds light on how groups of disparate vampires set aside their differences (or nurse grudges) to protect themselves against the hostile world in which they exist. Sometimes, only your fellow Kindred can protect you from the darkness, but trusting them to do so is a dangerous proposition in itself. Hardcover.

Only one question remains: How will your troupe face the end?
