Notes on VtM5e

I come and go from Vampire: The Masquerade quite a bit. There's a lot I dislike about the game, but I would also love to play the game...I think.

Sect Affiliations

• Anarchs
  • Brujah
  • The Caitiff
  • Gangrel
  • The Ministry
  • Thin-bloods
  • Tzimisce
• Camarilla
  • Banu Haqim
  • Malkavian
  • Nosferatu
  • Lasombra
  • Toreador
  • Tremere
  • Ventrue
• Independent
  • Hecata
  • Ravnos
  • Salubri

There are exceptions for everything, of course. Any vampires from these clans may reject the Anarchs, Camarilla, or Ashirra and join the Sabbat; any may be independent rulers; a typically Anarch clan-member may be loyal to a Camarilla court; or a diehard Camarilla clan-member may forsake them for the Anarchs. That's helpful, though, because any player character can fit in anywhere.

Splatbooks

VtM is really bad about the expansions, but Renegade has helpfully collected pretty much everything outside of the core rulebook into a Players Guide. If you have the core rulebook and the Players Guide, you'll have most every character option except loresheets (which aren't required).
