The most recent iteration of a sourcebook that first appeared in 1991, this edition is by far the longest at 357 pages. It describes the vampire culture, clans, people, locations, backstory and subterfuges of the eponymous city. (‘Eponymous’, because I always have to check, means ‘lending its name to’ a thing, not ‘taking its name from’). We talked about the latest edition of <em>Vampire the Masquerade</em> <a href="https://www.ludonarrativedissidents.com/season-3-episode-7-vampire-the-masquerade-5e/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>earlier this season</strong></a> and concluded that it did what it needs to in a suitable style, if you like that sort of thing. How does that fit with huge chunks of crunchy campaign-world detail like this?
