This has now been re-released as Vampire: The Requiem 2e, without much more than a new cover and an index by way of change.

Publisher's blurb: "Tonight, you become one of the Kindred, the beautiful and the damned who hide behind our ordinary world. Driven by a hunger like fire, you will struggle to maintain your humanity while immersed in a vicious society of monsters.

"But the sharks you swim with aren’t the only ones out there. Your Kindred are the smart, sexy vampires of pop culture, but you are haunted by the Strix - the grisly, demon-possessed corpses of folklore. They slaughtered the Night-Senate of Rome, drowned the tombs of the Princes of Alexandria, and warred with the Plague Lords of Transylvania.

"Tonight, they're loose on the streets of your city. Time for the sinners to become the saints, and the hunters to become the prey.

"Blood and Smoke: The Strix Chronicle contains:

• A complete guide to playing a vampire in the World of Darkness. No other rulebooks are required, and the rules are fully compatible with The God-Machine Chronicle.
• Reimagined clans, covenants, and supernatural powers to create your perfect monster… and her friends and foes.
• A first-ever look at vampire domains around the world, from Tokyo to Berlin.
• Twenty unique Strix, as well as complete rules for building your own."
