Here's All the VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE and HUNTER: THE RECKONING Goodies Shown Off at Renegade Con
During Renegade Con recently, Vampire: The Masquerade got some love. There were new products announced for the tabletop RPG, for the tabletop game Vampire: The Masquerade Rivals, and also for the new edition of Hunter: The Reckoning. All of these items are available for pre-order now through Renegade Game Studios’ online store. What are you most excited about?
First, we’ll briefly talk about the Player’s Guide for Vampire: The Masquerade. This book will run $50 with an expected launch in June and the physical book comes with a free PDF if you order through Renegade. Inside you’ll find previously released Discipline Powers, Blood Sorcery Rituals, and Thin-Blood Alchemy Formulae collected in one easy to find location in addition to 40+ new items. There are also new systems and advantages for coteries and guidelines and advice for non-traditional chronicles including virtual play and playing without a Storyteller.
CHILDREN OF CAINE
The children of the night – what games they play! And what games can we play with them?
Vampires have lurked among us since the first cities rose nameless by the Euphrates. They command mighty powers and strange magics, they hunt in singular ways, they even flock together when times demand it.
This book collects new character-building options, powers, guides for playing together and alone and virtually, and new ways to use the old rules of Vampire: The Masquerade. The Players Guide is the perfect companion to the core Vampire: The Masquerade rulebook!
If you like Vampire: The Masquerade Rivals, you’ll be excited about the new Justice & Mercy expansion. This will cost $30 with a Q2 2023 release window and pre-orders come with alternate art cards for the leaders of the new clans. The clans included are the Salubri who are known to be very rare and the Banu Haqim who are all about tradition and justice!
Feast Your Eyes
Justice & Mercy is an expansion for Vampire: The Masquerade - Rivals that adds two new clans, each on a different path: BANU HAQIM & SALUBRI. The Banu Haqim are judges and lawbringers with both martial and sorcerous tools at their disposal. The Salubri are a clan on the run, simply trying to survive – alone if necessary. Rarest of all the clans, their mending abilities are second to none. You may play these two clans head-to-head or integrate them with your other clans to create new strategies!
Meanwhile, fans of Hunter: The Reckoning can look forward to a few different items. Lines Drawn in Blood is the first sourcebook for the new edition and features four all-new stories that you can either use as one-shots or combine them for a longer chronicle. This will set you back $45 with a June 2023 release window planned and the physical book comes with a free PDF.
What lines are you willing to cross when you push back against the evil that walks among us? Lines Drawn in Blood presents a series of four stories that can be played individually or linked together to tell an entire chronicle.
Pressure Test: Ghostly incursions are far more than the weight of individual sorrow.
Outsiders: The residents of a small town break an ancient pact and pay the price.
Blur the Lines: Occult symbols at a murder scene drag Hunters into a race against time.
Alone in the Dark: Far from city lights, a nest of monsters pull the strings of a lonely northern town.
There’s also the Storyteller Screen Kit that comes with a 4-panel Storyteller’s Screen and the Toolkit with additional rules, a list of witnesses for inspiration, and a complete story to use with your group. All of this will cost $30.
Bring your stories of desperate measures for Hunter: The Reckoning to life with the Storyteller’s Screen and Toolkit. The four-panel Storyteller’s Screen displays all-new art on the front and key reference tables for the Storyteller on the back, all the while keeping your notes and rolls secret. The Storyteller’s Toolkit is full of additional rules advice covering more situations (whether investigation or combat), a list of witnesses for Storyteller inspiration, and a complete story you can use for one or more evenings of play.
Finally, there’s the Premium Token Pack costing $20 which offers 15 40mm poker-chip tokens to help keep track of Danger, Desperation, and Despair as you play. This is set to release in April 2023.
Enhance your game of Hunter: The Reckoning with these premium tokens designed to track Danger, Despair, and Desperation. These tokens provide a visual and tactile way to track the Danger and Desperation of the group and individual player’s fall to Despair!
