Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable.
Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background. For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book.
We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Pros: The first half of the book is devoted mainly to introducing the reader to the world and the clans. The second half holds most of the rules and systems you'll need to play. This is a massive improvement, imo. From the very beginning, the sourcebooks for VtM as well as other WoD have been arranged counterintuitively.
You had to make super heavy use of the index to find anything with suggestions for rules of play scattered every which way.
It still leaves something to be desired, imo, but th Sep 01, Ernesto I. Great update of the ruleset for a new edition, some part of the fluff don't make me happy, but well, that is the World of Darkness in a nutshell, the world despairs.
Now I am waiting for Mage 5th Edition :D. I'm writing this review as someone who is not very familiar with the other versions of Vampire and has not had much opportunity to play this revision. I only played in two short games hosted by a local tabletop store, and even though the games were advertised as for 'beginners,' there was clearly one dude at the table who knew way more than everyone else and wanted to ensure that the story was all about his very cool, edgy and unpredictable vampire cyberhacker.
Yeah, that was kind of a shite int Considering that many vampires are decades or hundreds of years old the depiction of attire here is utterly unfathomable, modern and off putting. The photography is similarly u Honestly, for me is always about the lore. And this brings a new verse of the creatures of the night that doesn't feel forced in its bleakness, makes internal sense and delves into what would mean to become an immortal enemy of humanity into our digitalized world.
White wolf was Those of you who have read the original V:tM books may take my review with a grain of salt - I haven't read much of them, nor did I play that version much so I cannot compare the two. That being said This is a gorgeous tome super heavy, glossy pages. The artwork is spectacular. I appreciate the time taken for the aesthetics.
I wish the information were laid out a bit better, but the inclusion of a searchable PDF makes that a moot point. I really liked the inclusion of story to bring the whole Por l It's also a massive assumption, but I felt s A truly outstanding edition of the game both for longtime fans and newcomers alike. It brings back the theme of personal horror as well as making vampires relevant again. Better than expected. Interesting update to the game I knew in the 90's. Well done and well thought out.
I don't see myself running this.
