I loved it, brought back the right combination of nostalgia with a few minor tweaks (actually wish there had been more tweaks to bring it closer to the rules system of NWOD). But the best thing is the return of info on pretty much every bloodline ever published from the very beginning of Vampire and through all the Dark Ages supplement (except for the two Nosferatu lineages in Libelus Sanguinus IV). If you're a fan of Vampire: the Masqerade, or are looking to jump start a new game with "classic" world of darkness settings-this is the book.

Love everything about it. The artwork is incredible. The value is unparallelled. You have every rule, discipline, merit and flaw in one book. If you love V:tM then you need this book. The cost of buying all of the books that have stuff in this one massive volume is great. If you were to buy all the books to necessary to get just the disciplines found in this great tome you would spend well over $100. My suggestion is that you stop reading this review and just buy the book already. Seriously why are you still reading? Just click on the add to cart button and get it. You know you are going to anyway so why torment yourself? Just get it over with.

Vampire the Masquerade changed my whole idea of what a role-playing game could be, and I remember hiding my copy of the game from my parents, afraid they´d think I was turning into a devil worshipper or something. I think it´s a very adult game. It wasn´t really made for my 14 year old self. It was far too complex both in themes and politics for me as a storyteller to convey to my troupe; but we still had a lot of fun with it. I wonder if this time around, a little older and with a lot more experience with different games, I can finally run this the way I wanted to. This 20th anniversary edition really speaks straight to my soul. The additional writing really clarifies things, and it´s just like Gehenna never was. I´ve found one minor typo, and that´s about all the criticism I can come up with. It´s really well done. Thanks White Wolf for resurrecting this classic game. Now where did I put those 10 sided dice?

The definitive book for all things Masquerade, over 500 pages, one massive volume. I pre-ordered the leather collectors hardcover and got this as part of the purchase, so I got it for free. I may also buy a POD version to use in my table-top games. Breathtaking and evocative color artwork by Bradstreet, Jones and other revised edition artists.

This product is an excellent revisit of the classic World of Darkness game that started it all. The storyline is top notch, taking the game back to it's 'pre-Gehenna' days to the heyday of the game line. I greatly enjoyed the new system, which is basically the old system, but with some tweaks that seem to come from lessons learned with newer game lines. I'd have to say, for my money, this is the product I'll be using for Vampire the Masquerade from now on. Now, I can't wait for my physical copy to get here from White Wolf.
