There's more to being a vampire than not being able to see yourself shaving. These children of the night live in a world rife with political intrigue and power struggles, masking themselves to the throes of humanity in their efforts to blend in and lord over the world. In the words of White Wolf, the creators of the original pen-and-paper game, the vampire is "that which must be feared, worshiped, and adored." That is the world you'll be exploring firsthand in Vampire: The Masquerade—Bloodlines.
