Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition Core Rulebook

Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition is the definitive core book for the classic World of Darkness roleplaying game of personal and political horror. You play a vampire trying to survive the night while navigating brutal undead politics, protecting what is left of your humanity, and resisting the ever-present pull of the Beast.

The 5th Edition brings the game boldly into the modern era while honoring Vampire’s legacy and advancing the metaplot. A central theme is Hunger: the relentless thirst for blood that can overwhelm you and drive terrible choices, making every session a tense balancing act between control and catastrophe.

This 428-page, full-color hardcover includes a satin ribbon bookmark and incorporates core rulebook errata plus Companion errata, making it a strong “current” version for starting (or restarting) a chronicle. Please note the mature content warning: the book contains graphic and written content including violence, sexual themes, and strong language.
