Vampire: The Masquerade Second Edition

Vampire: The Masquerade Second Edition is the first major revision of the Vampire: The Masquerade game system. VtM Second Edition reuses and revises a large amount of text from the first edition of the Vampire: The Masquerade Rulebook, although much of the text is heavily edited and reorganized. The major changes from First to Second Edition are not in content but in form: VtM Second Edition was the core rulebook for any White Wolf book to be printed in hardcover and on glossy paper stock, and with that change came a greater emphasis on style and presentation, making the book more immediately accessible both for reference and for casual use.

Summary
From the back cover:
 * A Storytelling Game of Personal Horror
 * Second Edition


 * "No one holds command over me. No man. No god. No Prince. What is a claim of age for ones who are immortal? What is a claim of power for ones who defy death? Call your damnable hunt. We shall see who I drag screaming to hell with me.
 * &mdash;Günter Dörn, Das Ungeheuer Darin
