VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE SECOND INQUISITION PDF now available.

H/T: GeekTyrant. The print version of VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE SECOND INQUISITION isn’t available yet, but Modiphius has released the PDF for it. And third-party vendors too, I guess: at least, I ordered mine through Renegade Game Studios and I’ve downloaded and am reading the PDF right now.

I’ve wanted this one for a while. SECOND INQUISITION is not for playing vampire-hunters in the World of Darkness; if you want that, go play NIGHT’S BLACK AGENTS*. Which you should do anyway, because it’s a cool game. And as I’m sure Ken Hite would readily tell you, too.

*Well, that turned out to be an expensive link for me. #commissionearned

Ooh Watch: two new supplements for Vampire: The Masquerade 5th edition.

We got Sabbat: The Black Hand (supposedly coming out in October) and Second Inquisition (coming out in January). Well. I just got them both. I happened to have enough personal cash to cover the purchases.

PS: I’m more interested in Second Inquisition; I’m assuming that it’s gonna cover more original ground than the Sabbat sourcebook. But I figure I’ll like both books.

In the Mail: Chicago By Night (V:tM)

Chicago By Night is a bit of an extravagance, to be sure. But that’s what birthday money is for, right? Extravagances. Besides, Ken Hite did the latest Vampire: the Masquerade edition, and every little bit helps.

PS: I’m not expecting the new V:tM Bloodlines game any time soon, either. I’m also not expecting anything spectacular from it when it arrives, for that matter. I know how this stuff goes.

Book of the Week: Vampire: The Masquerade: Fall of London.

I picked up Vampire: The Masquerade: Fall of London this week, and now I want to run it. The only question is: do I want to run it in VtM — or in Night’s Black Agents, and have the PCs play the vampire hunters of Operation Antigen? Because it’d port over beautifully to NBA.

Go figure.

The new “Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2” trailer.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 looks good, although that guy at the start is precisely the sort of person that my Humanity 10 Toreador would stake on sight and then claim she was just cynically enforcing the Masquerade. I’m just a big ol’ softy, me*. Seven months to go before I can play it…

*Unless you’re Society of Leopold. I was catching myself getting very intense when it came to those SOBs and their crossbows.

Oh, by the way: V:tM won two Origins awards last week.

I didn’t realize it at the time — for some reason, I missed all the Origins awards stuff this year — but I found out about it when Ken Hite put up the speech that he would have made, if only he hadn’t been having a steak dinner offsite at the time. Or thought that he was going to win. I have a copy of Vampire: the Masquerade 5e myself, and: it is gorgeous, in every sense of the term. The art and the setting both. The triple book slipcase set is rather dear, of course — which is why I pre-ordered it; that price was never going to go down.

By all means, check it out: and congratulations to Ken and the rest of the team. The award’s very deserved.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 now on pre-order for Steam.

I admit to surprise: I hadn’t realized that Paradox already had the DLC for Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 lined up and everything. It would seem that the company is pretty good about keeping secrets, because I never heard a word about this sequel until today. And I would have absolutely started looking for news about it if I had been given even a hint.

Anyway: coming out in March 2020. Just in time for my fiftieth birthday! Yay! …And, yay.
