Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition Core Book
Description
Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition Core Book is the essential rulebook for the fifth edition of the legendary horror RPG set in the World of Darkness.
This new fifth edition returns to the original vampire vision and brings it into the 21st century. The rules have been redesigned to honor the deep storytelling of the original while advancing the metaplot from where it left off, detailing everything that has happened in the world of the Kindred up to the present day.
The terror of the Second Inquisition, the conspiracies behind the Gehenna War, and the rekindling of the War of Ages: these are the building blocks of a modern V5 chronicle.
The book is in English. Before you buy, we recommend reading this excellent, in-depth review on the D20 website (written in Czech).
Vampire: The Masquerade is the original and ultimate roleplaying game of personal and political horror. You are a vampire, struggling for survival, supremacy, and your own fading humanity—afraid of what you are capable of, and fearful of the inhuman conspiracies that surround you.
As a vampire, you suffer the pangs of the Hunger, the relentless and terrible thirst for human blood. If you refuse to deal with it, it will overcome your mind and drive you to terrible acts to slake it. You walk this razor's edge every night.
Dark designs, bitter enemies, and strange allies await you in this World of Darkness.
The classic that changed roleplaying games forever returns! This fifth edition features a streamlined and modern rules design, beautiful new full-color art, and a rich story experience for players. Powered by the innovative Hunger cycle, the game also includes rules for creating system-supported character coteries, Loresheets to directly involve players with their favorite parts of the setting, and The Memoriam, a new way to bring the character's detailed backgrounds to life and expand on them in-session.
V5 is a return to Vampire's original vision, moving boldly into the 21st century. While the rules have been redesigned, this new edition honors the deep story of the original, advancing the metaplot from where it left off and detailing exactly what has happened in the world of the Kindred up until tonight. The terror of the Second Inquisition, the conspiracies behind the Gehenna War, and the rekindling of the War of Ages: these are the building blocks of the modern V5 chronicle.
Developed, designed, and written by Kenneth Hite, Mark Rein-Hagen, Matthew Dawkins, Juhanna Peterson, Martin Ericsson, Karim Muammar, Karl Bergström, Jennifer Smith, Jason Andrew, and Jason Carl.

You might think a PDF is enough, but a book is a book. The only downside to the CORE edition is the rather poorly explained combat system, which lacks a single example or even a demonstration of other dice rolls. For a core book, this feels like a significant oversight, and a complete beginner will have a hell of a time trying to understand an otherwise simple system. Otherwise, these are great rules, and the 5th edition adds a nice touch to this universe.
Člověk by řekl že PDF stačí, ale kniha je kniha. Jediné, co CORE edici jde vytknout, je poměrně bídně vysvětlený soubojový systém a bez jediného příkladu včetně absence příkladů jiných hodů kostkou.
Na core book mi to příjde jako významné podcenění základu, a úplný nováček má sakra problém jinak jednoduchý systém pochopit. Jinak jde o skvělá pravidla a 5. edice dává prima šmrnc do tohoto universa.
