Darkness Unveiled is the second player's strategy guide for Vampire: The Eternal Struggle, the card game based on Vampire: The Masquerade. Unlike the other strategy guides for V:TES (or its earlier incarnation, Jyhad), Darkness Unveiled was designed and published by Wizards of the Coast in conjunction with White Wolf staffers, in part by using material previously published in The Eternal Struggle: A Players Guide to the Jyhad. Darkness Unveiled is a hardcover book with cloth "bindings" holding the book closed; these "bindings" double as bookmarks once undone.

Background Information[]

A large portion of the content of this book was reused from The Eternal Struggle: A Players Guide to the Jyhad, the softcover strategy guide for the Jyhad edition of the game that was published the previous year by White Wolf. The format also inspired the Magic: The Gathering Pocket Players Guide, which was published by Wizards of the Coast the following year.

The front cover of the book uses the full title "Darkness Unveiled: V:TES Playing Guide", but the spine of the book uses the title "Darkness Unveiled: Vampire: The Eternal Struggle Ultimate Pocket Players Guide" (or "Vampire: The Eternal Struggle: Darkness Unveiled: Ultimate Pocket Players Guide", depending on how one reads the logo). The back cover and interior of the book simply use the title "Darkness Unveiled". The Eternal Struggle: A Players Guide to the Jyhad contains an advertisement referring to the "Jyhad Pocket Players Guide"; that book may have become Darkness Unveiled when Jyhad became V:TES.
