Vampire: The Requiem - The Basics |
So, you've got no idea what the new Vampire game is all about? Only know about Dracula and Lestat? Here's some basic information to get you started with the game:
In Vampire, players portray Kindred undead and participate in the devious politicking of the Danse Macabre whilst struggling for power and prestige. All the while, you must satisfy your immortal hunger for blood and the inevitable pall of the ages.
Clans
There are five Vampire "clans" each of which possess powers and exhibit traits unique to their blood. Catchwords for the Clans:
Daeva - Emotional, sensual and desirable.
Gangrel - Primal, hardy and savage.
Mekhet - Quick, discreet and wise.
Nosferatu - Stealthy, strong and terrifying.
Ventrue - Regal, commanding and aristocratic.
Covenants
As well there are competing ideologies which are realized by the Covenants.
Carthians - seek to reconcile Kindred society with modern governmental structures and social systems.
Invictus - the aristocracy of the night.
Lancea Sanctum - Seeks to influence Kindred society with the strictures of Longinus, who is believed to have been turned into one of the Damned by the very blood of Christ.
Ordo Dracul - Commands rituals and mystical knowledge that allows the Kindred to transcend their vampiric states.
Unbound - Kindred not interested in being constrained for whatever personal reason by the chosen government of the kindred within the domain |
