New Vampire Book from White Wolf

Coming in May

WWP25034
VtR: Vampire Invite Only
$14.99 SRP

Singular vampires are so many terrible things. Why should it be any different when many vampires get together? It isn't. In fact, it's exponentially worse. Kindred are designed to be solitary predators. Why they gather in such large groups is a complicated issue. Are they lonely? Do they need to keep enemies within arms' reach? Do they need to understand the other creatures that inhabit their homes? Do they believe in safety in numbers?

This book specifically addresses how to build an interaction. It's how to host a party, how to make a location and how to make a social structure. A chronicle book for Vampire: The Requiem. A handful of fully fleshed social hotspots you can plug into or adapt your chronicle. Play variants and tweaks, Merits, Devotions and other character items built around Kindred social gatherings. A handful of plug-and-play scenes in the SAS format. Options for a social combat system.

The Great Chevauchee
$18.95 SRP
 
VIn 1373, John of Gaunt set off from Calais on a great raid to strike at the heart of France. Driven by the high ideals of chivalry, the raiders left with epic pageantry. However, the reality soon overwhelmed the raiders. Beset on all sides by French ambushes and plagued by disease and starvation, the raiders battled their way through Champagne, east of Paris, into Burgundy, across the Massif Central and finally down into the Dordogne. Unable to attack any major fortifications, John of Gaunt’s men plundered the countryside, raiding towns and villages, weakening the French infrastructure. While the military value of the raid is debatable, the English knights who finally made it home were hailed as heroes. This book charts the course of the raid from beginning to end, studying all the battles and skirmishes the raiders fought along the way in this bloody example of chivalric warfare.

This book takes a close look at day-to-day life in the trenches of Gallipoli, and explores how the wounded were treated. The experience of Gallipoli had a profound effect on its survivors, and it continues to mark the psyche of the two nations down to the present day.
