Vampire the Masquerade.
Vampire the Masquerade is a role play game from White Wolf. A role play game is not like any other game. It does not have a board nor are there pieces to be moved around. The thing that resembles it most is when you were a child and you played cops and robbers. This game however mainly takes place in your imagination.
The main characters in V:TM is, if you have not guessed it by now, vampires or kindred as we like to call us. There are many other creatures involved in roleplaying such as elves, magitians, sorcerors, witches, dragons and many many more, but vampires does hold the primarily possition in most places. Vampires are divided into a number of different groups or clans as they are called. There are the Toreador, Brujah, Venture, Tremere, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Gangrel, Ravnos, Assamite and most likely a couple more that I have not yet heard about. Each clan has a different pattern of behavior and different set of rules they live by. I shall here consentrate on what I believe is the 3 main clans.
The Toreador clan:
The members of this clan are typical the artists, writers and poets of the vampire society. They have an extraordinere love of beauti which is quite unique to all other beings vampire or mortal. Therefor it is not seldom that they fall in love with their mortal victims. Toreador vampires like to be part of the action and they are mostly found near the center if the city, wearing the newest fashion from the best shops. Maybe the most human-like of the kindred.
The Venture clan:
An old clan of upper-class people. The venture are bound to the time when they were alive and they are most of the time very conserned about their mortal family. It is not seldom that they choose their own descendants as their clan members to be. The Ventures are the one amoung the kindred that may have the best political abilities and therefor they are most often the ones to solve any disputes amoung the kindred.
The Brujah clan:
What can I say, bad tempered persons who almost seeks up trouble. They do not follow rules, vampire or mortal and they really do not care about it. They love a goor argument or a good fight, fair or not. They clothing usually are to be compared to whatever is outrageous at the time, piercings and other things which may upset other kindred in someway are of their preferance. yet with all of this in mind the Brujah are never borring to be around and thus reasonable well liked in their society, in small numbers that is.
What is roleplay like you may ask, basicly it's just talk (kinda diffucult to make it anything more on IRC *grin*) but then there are a lot of "actions" to it as well. I have included a little piece just below for your entertaining. Please do enjoy.
