White Wolf Entertainment have announced that they will bringing their the next chapter of the World of Darkness series to the 21st century with Vampire: the Masquerade Fifth Edition. Pre-orders for the Dark Tabletop RPG has been opened since Saturday (which just so happened to be International Tabletop Day.)
Vampire: The Masquerade V5 will feature a new set of modern rules and continues the dark and sexy tale started with the original 1991 Vampire: The Masquerade, challenging players to confront or channel their inner monster and exploit the weaknesses of society to satiate their own hunger for power and thurst for blood.
V5 will start shipping in August, and contains the core V5 rules, Anarch and Camarilla sourcebooks. The books can be pre-ordered at Modiphius, who is handling distribution of the the series. White Wolf also recently launched their new website for everything related to World of Darkness.
The World of Darkness series is not only a fascinating Tabletop RPG, but they also have some cult favourite video games including Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, The Hunter series and an upcoming title based on Werewolf: The Apocalypse developed by Cyanide and published by Focus Home Interactive.
