Clanbook: Brujah is a clan oriented sourcebook to the first edition of Vampire: The Masquerade. A newer revision of this book was released for Vampire: The Masquerade Revised Edition, Clanbook: Brujah Revised. The tag line for this book is: A past of treachery, a future in flames for without the rebel, tomorrow will never come.

The book details much of the Brujah, one of the thirteen vampiric clans of the World of Darkness. Quick to anger and always passionate in the Modern Nights, they have been regaining their position as a clan of lofty philosophers and activists and are often pointed out as a clan that should not be messed with. All that a Brujah does, he does with passion that is his curse and his blessing.

The clanbook provides game information to help players and storytellers alike bring its characters to unlife. Whether the Brujah of your chronicle fight their battles in the Elysium with speeches and whispers, or on the streets with fangs and Uzis, this book is an invaluable resource.

Summary[]

From the White Wolf catalog:

Once they built monuments to eternal peace. Once they spent their time in contemplation of the infinite. There is little more beautiful than the work of those with vision. There is little more deadly than a dreamer betrayed. The betrayers tore down the monuments. The brief life of eternal peace sank into the ravages of time. The hope for infinity burned to ash. Now when the pounding begins, words will not do. When the fury grows, peace will suffer. When the frenzy erupts, only blood will suffice.
Clanbook: Brujah includes:
  • The history and traditions of the Brujah, including their myths and clan secrets
  • 10 templates of Brujah characters, spanning the spectrum of this diverse clan
  • Details on mysterious powers Brujah have developed through the ages
