The Red Sign is a Time of Judgment book for Vampire: The Masquerade and Mage: The Ascension centering around the last conspiracies of both that formed towards the end of the world.
Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Forbidden Arcana
- The Curse of Caine is a Biblical punishment, handed down by God Himself. Could it be true that a conspiracy of Kindred and mages has found a way to reverse its effects? As the world comes closer and closer to Gehenna, might the Kindred escape their divine fate? Or is it all part of some larger plan? As a title that combines the themes of Mage and Vampire, The Red Sign is a Lovecraftian revelation of ages-old horror. As the Kindred discover a method to escape damnation, a faction of mages aids them in their blasphemous quest. Players can either join the conspiracy or oppose it -- or find themselves knowing entirely too much about it.

Background Information
- This book, although it was a Vampire title, served as a book for both Vampire and Mage in the Time of Judgment. This echoes a similar book, 2000's Blood Treachery, a Mage title intended for both Vampire and Mage game lines, and one of the signature books for the Year of Revelations.
