$100 Vampire the Masquerade (cWoD) Recommendation
Aug 10 2023
I'm not as familiar with Vampire the Masquerade but the 20th Anniversary Edition is so cool let's build a recommended list.
Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition ($22.50 PDF)
This is the old VtM Revised Edition (i.e. 3E) plus one of the big clan supplements and at 529 pages it's very big.
V20 didn't really do any adventures, just big splatbook supplements, so we go back to Revised adventure supplements.
Chicago Chronicles v1 ($7.50 PDF) - Chicago by Night 1E + The Succubus Club
Chicago Chronicles v2 ($7.50 PDF) - Chicago by Night 2E + Under a Blood Red Moon
Chicago Chronicles v3 ($6.75 PDF) - Milwaukee by Night + Ashes to Ashes + Blood Bond
These three volumes reprint several previous supplements and adventures. You get a bunch of setting and some adventures comprising the War for Chicago.
Dust to Dust ($5.25 PDF) - "a spiritual successor to the classic story Ashes to Ashes"
Gehenna ($15 PDF) - For completeness, the book that ends the VtM Revised line with various vampire apocalypses.
That's $64.50 and I'm not sure there is more to buy.
Giovanni Chronicles 1-4 ($24.75 PDF) is set in Renaissance (to eventually modern times). Transylvania Chronicles 1-4 ($29.25 PDF) is also interesting as an 800-year campaign leading to Gehenna. I guess these two campaigns showcase vampiric immortality allowing PCs to be there participating in history. Not really my style though.
Of the two I think Transylvania Chronicles would be more interesting to run as a second campaign after a modern-day Chicago campaign, so:
Transylvania Chronicles I: Dark Tides Rising ($7.50 PDF)
Transylvania Chronicles II: Son of the Dragon ($6.75 PDF)
Transylvania Chronicles III: Ill Omens ($7.50 PDF)
Transylvania Chronicles IV: The Dragon Ascendant ($7.50 PDF)
Bringing it to $93.75.
