Certainly a really old game , yet definately worth reviewing is Vampire the Masquerade. An increasingly ageing game, it's original concept and idea was first thought up by Mark Rein Hagen who's idea for an RPG in a vampires world was brought to life by White Wolf Gaming Studio's.
Although its creation couldn't be possible without a little help from Activision and eventuallyalso Troika Games, 1991 was The Masquerades birth year and has continued to survive as it made many following editions. In 1992 it had another simply titled 2nd edition, 6 years later in 1998 it had another titled the revised edition ansd yet another was created recently in2011 titled the 20th Anniversary. The year of it's completion. The Masquerade was surely a new adventure for gamers , it recieved the origins award for best playing rules of 1999.
Now diving into the game. Its based in the present dayas of 1991 no doubt. You play as a human who finds him or herself in a hotel room with a partner surely expecting a good time. On the contrary you are bitten by a vampire thus having you awake unawares that you have been reborn intoa blood lusting creature of the night...
The story goes like this , whoever bites a human and turns them , is the newly born vampires sire though your sire get executed for breaking the strict rules of the high kindred clan , the Camarilla. the prince of the Camarilla is a vampire named Lacrox, who spares your life thinking that as a newly born vampire you won't survive without a sire. Nevertheless you become his kindred. the story takes place in Los Angeles and you begin your game in Santa Monica. Although somewhat difficult to grasp at first, there are several vampire clans each with their own skills and characteristics.
