New York by Night

New York by Night is a supplement for Vampire: The Masquerade about the war between the Sabbat and the Camarilla over New York City.

Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:


 * One Sect Falls, Another Rises
 * In the wake of the Sabbat's aggressive campaign along the East Coast of the United States, the sect has spread itself too thin. The clever Camarilla took advantage of the Black Hand's disorganization and reclaimed New York City as its own. But with established princes and entrenched elders claiming domains elsewhere, to which Kindred will this new prize fall?
