THURSDAY JUNE 10 The Predator’s Taint – Save with the use of certain Disciplines, Kindred cannot hide their nature from one another. Mortals might not perceive the predators among them, but Kindred Beasts rise to the merest whiff of a challenge, most especially another Kindred. Normally this reaction feels like nothing more than a simple undercurrent of tension, raised hackles. When Kindred meet for the very first time, though, this tension is so acute that it can cause frenzy. The nature of the frenzy (anger or fear) is determined by the relative Blood Potency of the vampires. Vampires with lower Blood Potency than those they face must resist fear frenzy; vampires with equal or greater Blood Potency must resist anger frenzy. This risk of frenzy can be reduced or eliminated by circumstances that make meeting other Kindred less traumatic, such as when the newcomer makes an immediate offer to help or the meeting occurs in a place where the characters both feel safe. The Well-Equipped Vampire (Player) – The launch of Vampire: The Requiem and the World of Darkness Rulebook features a full set of play aids and other items for fans of the game. July sees the release of a Vampire: The Requiem T-shirt and other items will release soon after the core book, including dice, character sheets and a sturdy Storyteller’s Screen. The character sheet set features five customized sheets for each clan and covenant in the game. The Storyteller Screen is nothing like the flimsy items of days gone by that you might be familiar with. This is a four-panel screen made of extra heavy stock akin to the cover of a hardcover book. The dice set includes a custom dice bag and ten special 10-sided dice. The dice themselves are red, but the success numerals (8, 9 and 0) are marked in silver.
Be Prepared – Pre-order your Vampire: The Requiem Dice, which will be available soon after the core book. View larger image of the dice. |
