Montreal by Night is a sourcebook for Vampire: The Masquerade. It details Montréal, a city that is considered the anvil of the Sabbat to which the hammer of Mexico will squash the Camarilla.
Summary[]
From the White Wolf catalog:
- City of One Thousand Steeples
- Welcome to Montreal, unhallowed shrine of our most glorious Sabbat. Oui, we're so glad you came. Walk our catacombs in search of blasphemous knowledge. Enjoy all manner of titillating diversions with our deliciously putrescent "Toy". And forget that language-barrier nonsense; we'd be delighted to hear you scream for mercy in English or French.
- City of Black Miracles
- Montreal by Night is the latest in the series of "by Night" books for Vampire: The Masquerade. However, this book is unique because it's also the first in the Black Dog series. Montreal belongs to the Sabbat! We just couldn't do justice to the enemies of the Camarilla in any other way. So head north if you dare... and don't eat the red snow.
- Montreal by Night Features:
- The first combination Sabbat, Black Dog, and "by Night" book ever. A dark treat for every Vampire: The Masquerade player and Storyteller.
- New information on the Sabbat Inquisition and a brand-new Path to follow.
- A complete city setting to play with. How long does it take to destroy a place?
