[Vampire: The Masquerade] [Kickstarter] Chicago by Night 5E

Post by CharlesPhipps »

Anyone used to play Vampire: The Masquerade?

I did. I did a lot and the center of our game was Chicago by Night 1st and 2nd Edition. Arguably the two greatest game supplements of all time. I am so excited they're doing a 3rd version of the city for 5th Edition. I loved the 5th Edition supplement and Beckett's Jyhad diary.

Who said tabletop roleplaying was dead?

Cool, it's already funded and has two stretch goals met.

ACHIEVED!! - CHICAGO FOLIO: THE CAMARILLA RECORD – A section will be added to the Chicago Folio, an in-character artifact book compiling diary entries, transcripts, emails, and other treasures to use in the course of a V5 chronicle, especially useful when utilizing the characters and plots from Chicago by Night. All backers receiving the Chicago By Night PDF will automatically have a PDF version of the Chicago Folio added to their rewards list.

ACHIEVED! - CHICAGO FOLIO: THE ANARCH ACCOUNTS – A second section will be added to the Chicago Folio, doubling its size.

I'm really hoping they reach the Milwaukee and Gary supplement goal.

At $65,000 in funding - LET THE STREETS RUN RED – The first chronicle, set in the throbbing heart and ruined suburbs of Chicago, will be added to Let the Streets Run Red, a PDF supplement set in and around the Chicago and Midwest area, incorporating characters absent from V5 Chicago by Night and exploring the activities of Indianapolis, Milwaukee, and the rural Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana areas. All backers receiving the Chicago By Night hardcover will automatically have a PDF version of Let the Streets Run Red added to their rewards list.

Sounds cool. I've always wanted to give this setting a try, but unfortunately the single-player video games are the only way I've been able to experience it. They don't require a group to play.

I'm so upset the MMO failed.

The only people I ever found playing it hereabout, were cosplayers who took things way too serious and were basically Emos before Emos were a thing.

I was the opposite in that all of my tabletop roleplaying game crew looked like rednecks with beards.

None of us could pull off the Goth look so we didn't even try.

BUT WE WERE SEXY GOTHS IN OUR HEART!

Edit:

FYI - they've made a Werewolf: The Apocalypse game that will be basically Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines for werewolves. It will be released in a few months.

They're writing Bloodlines 2 now.

We're now at 78K!

Woot.

If we get to 90K, we're going to have TWO additional supplements for free! Well, not free because it's for people Kickstartering it but they are going to be given to the people who backed it. THE CHICAGO FOLIO and LET THE STREETS RUN RED will be more than just adventure material but actual books if we get just a bit more gasoline in the car.

I am stupidly excited by all this.

Now we just need 4K more to hit 90K.

That will be awesome.
