The big problem with playing a Camarillan vampire has always been the fact that it was the "default" setting for a Vampire: the Masquerade character. Whereas Halls of the Arcanum painted a fascinating portrait of arcane-minded mortals and Vampire Player's Guide, 2nd Ed., provided a wealth of informative essays and articles about improving roleplay, gutter-balls like Project Twilight or The Storyteller's Handbook made me wary every time I approached the White Wolf/Black Dog shelf at my local gaming store.įortunately for us all, Guide to the Camarilla is like shoving one's last quarter into a slot machine, and being awarded with a bucket full of Spanish gold: valuable and beautiful to boot. Supplements from White Wolf have, over the history of the games associated with the Storyteller System, been no less of a gamble than shoving a quarter in a slot machine and hoping to hit the jackpot.
The Camarilla, while charactized in-game as full of wealth and glitz, often is equally devoid of substance as it is rich in trappings.
Everything from the powers of the justicars to the war against the Sabbat under one cover for the first time.It's somehow fitting that the short fiction piece which introduces Guide to the Camarilla is set in Las Vegas, that town of wealth, glitz and very little substance, for two reasons: From the core clans to the independent vampires who have flocked to the Camarilla's banner' - from the Disciplines of the elders to the dreams of the anarchs - here is the Camarilla laid bare. Here is the complete guide to the Camarilla of the End Times. We shall see whom I drag screaming to hell with me. What is a claim of age for ones who are immortal? What is a claim of power for ones who defy death? Call your damnable hunt. I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored. I am a vampire, and that is far more than enough. What are we? The Damned childer of caine? The grotesque lords of humanity? The pitiful wretches of eternal hell? We are vampires, and that is enough.
