However, because V5 removed the Sabbat (an organization outside of the Camarilla), I was forced to cut too many of my favorite clans. Okay, before I get into the list, let me also give you a disclaimer: For this list, I’m using the most recent edition of VtM, V5.
More likely than not, groups of players will be part of the Camarilla, an elite community of vampires dedicated to maintaining the Masquerade – in other words, hiding their existence from humanity. Vampire society in the game is very gothic, political, and duplicitous. Generally, players will be vampires (called Kindred), and will have their own vampiric clan they belong to. Like other tabletop RPGs, the players create characters that they use to interact with the Storyteller’s world. The game takes place in the gritty World of Darkness, but the Storyteller can shape it to the specific session or campaign. (If you’ve read any of my Werewolf: the Apocalypse posts, then you know I’ve got a thing for White Wolf games!) It’s played with a group of two or more people, and one is the Storyteller while others are players. Vampire: the Masquerade is another White Wolf tabletop RPG. Although some of the abilities I discuss likely appear in the game, I’m thinking of them in the sense that they appear in the tabletop version. Instead, I’m referring specifically to the tabletop RPG. It’s important to make a differentiation here I’m not talking about the VtM video game that came out in 2004. The first thing I’d like to do before diving into the vampire clans is explain what Vampire: the Masquerade is. A Brief Introduction to the World of Vampire: the Masquerade (and Disclaimer) And as the very first tabletop RPG I ever ran, it has a soft spot in my heart, which is why I’m introducing you to the what I feel are the top 3 best vampire clans in Vampire: the Masquerade.
I suppose you could trace it back to earlier movies like Interview with the Vampire, but the much later cringey Twilight saga definitely fanned the flames of the vampire craze.Īnyway, the mood was set for a tabletop RPG like Vampire: the Masquerade. I’m not sure how else to describe it, but vampires were suddenly in. Like it or not, most of us went through that dark phase where we all wore regrettable outfits, listened to edgy music, and lamented how no one understood us. If you lived through the 90’s and early 2000’s like I did, then you remember one trend that really caught on, or rather a handful of trends: goth, emo, and grunge.
