Vampire The Masquerade: Second Inquisition

Hunters have always been present in Vampire: The Masquerade – lone hunters, small cadres, hidden government conspiracies, Catholic remnants and offshoots. One of the setting developments with V5 was a ramping up of this element with the introduction of the so-called Second Inquisition – SchrekNet was compromised, the Tremere’s Prime Chantry in Vienna was destroyed, London fell, and the Camarilla responded to these events with draconian new secrecy and anti-technological measures. Following on the heels of Sabbat: The Black Hand, Second Inquisition is a second antagonists book primarily aimed at helping Storytellers deploy the Second Inquisition in their chronicles. There is, however, a lot more mechanically in Second Inquisition, and a lot more to work with for someone who wants to make the hunters the protagonists (and who doesn’t want to wait for the new edition of Hunter: The Reckoning), so it ends up being a more broadly useful book that the basic description might make it seem. This book contains:

• Opponents of your Kindred, and their special forces and equipment
• Information on the fires rising against the world’s vampires, stoked by the Society of St. Leopold and the American FIRSTLIGHT black program
• New tools to expand your chronicles, including eldritch Artifacts, dozens of dangerous antagonists, and the tactics your coterie can use to fight back
• Includes a blood red satin bookmark ribbon
