Vampire: The Requiem

Vampire: The Requiem is the core rulebook for the Vampire: The Requiem tabletop roleplaying game, set in the Chronicles of Darkness. It introduces the Kindred (vampires), their factions (the Koldun, the Camarilla, and the Inquisition), and the Disciplines they use to survive and exert power. The book includes a comprehensive reference to the game's lore, including the creation of the vampire, the history of the factions, and the mechanics of the game's core systems. It is the successor to the Vampire: The Masquerade line and is a standalone reference for players and the Storyteller. The 2014 edition, titled Blood and Smoke: The Strix Chronicle, was later re-branded as Vampire: The Requiem, Second Edition, and remains the definitive edition of the core rules.
