RPG Tabletop Spotlight: World of Darkness – Camarilla & Anarch Sourcebooks
Today on Tabletop Spotlight, we take you through the Camarilla and Anarch sourcebooks for Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition.
Vampire the Masquerade’s 5th Edition is not without its share of controversy. All of which came to a head at the tail end of 2018 when Paradox Interactive pulled a move straight out of Mass Effect 2 and assumed direct control of the World of Darkness.
White Wolf underwent some massive shakeups, the fallout of which delayed the contentious books. And now, thanks to Modiphius’ seeming omnipresence these days, those troubled books are here. What that means for the future of the World of Darkness is still up in the air, but for now, it looks like they’re at least moving forward. It’s still an RPG with some troubling, contentious writing to say the least, but perhaps they can move away from those problems and back into the game of Vampires and drama that everyone wants. For now, here’s a look at the Camarilla and Anarch sourcebooks. Hopefully, these won’t start any international incidents.
