FAQ
VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE
FAQ
Why are there discrepancies between the Disciplines
in V: tM and V: tDA?
This is deliberate; it was intended to
show how even the undead gradually evolve (devolve?) over the centuries.
Use the V: tDA Disciplines for V: tDA games and the V: tM Disciplines for
V: tM games.
How high can a vampire boost her Physical Attributes
with vitae?
A vampire can boost a stat to a maximum of twice
its normal value (so a 12th-generation vampire with Str 3, Dex 3, Stm 3
could, by spending nine turns and nine Blood Points, raise herself to Str
6, Dex 6, Stm 6).
Can I Embrace a (whatever)?
Werewolves
can be Embraced, but almost always die in the process; those who survive
become Abominations, loathsome hybrids forever estranged from Gaia. This
ain't a good thing. Mages can be Embraced, but lose their Avatars and become
normal vampires. Wraiths are already dead, so they cannot be Embraced.
Changelings die hideously if the Embrace is forced on them (wimps). Mummies
cannot be Embraced; they simply die, and their souls split and perform
their respective functions. Other shapeshifterswell, you're on your own,
but a vampire crocodile or shark sounds pretty goofy.
When is [Product X] coming out?
For
Vampire: The Masquerade: Clanbook: Ravnos (March '97), Ghouls: Fatal Addiction
(June '97), Clanbook: Giovanni (August '97), Kindred of the East (October
'97), Giovanni Chronicles 3 (January '98), Hong Kong by Night (March '98),
Sabbat 2nd Edition Hardcover (April '98). Beyond this point, things haven't
been clearly determined yet.
In MET, what does(blah, blah, blah)?
I'd
love to be able to help you, but I don't know anything about Mind's Eye
Theatre. Please write to Cynthia
Summers (chalice@white-wolf.com), and she'll be happy to help you.
Why are there so many fuckups in White Wolf
products?
Primarily because our understaffed E&D Department
must constantly rush hundreds of thousands of words out the door in a matter
of weeks or even days. You try rewriting 200,000 words of dyslexic swill
in 10 working days, pal.
What's going on with the Vampire cult murders?
White
Wolf is terribly upset by this senseless tragedy. Until justice has run
its course, WW staffers would prefer to refrain from commentary.
Where can I find (New Clan Z, published on
the Net)?
Sorry, we can't help you here. Anything published
on the Net is "unofficial," and we don't keep track of it.
What's the truth about/real name of/stats for
Caine, the Antediluvians, etc.?
I prefer not to divulge this
information, as doing so destroys a lot of the mystery behind the game.
The best horror stories ("The Colour out of Space," "The
Haunting of Hill House," "The Willows," etc.) are shrouded
in mystery and uncertainty, and that is the tone I want to emulate with
V: tM.
What's the deal with Rasputin?
It
was a joke, people! A damn JOKE! Even angst-peddlers like us need to have
a little fun sometimes! Geez!
