Revision as of 19:36, 21 May 2020
Vampire: The Requiem is a role-playing game published by White Wolf, set in the Chronicles of Darkness (New World of Darkness) setting, and the successor to the Vampire: The Masquerade line. It was first released in August 2004, together with the core rule book for the World of Darkness.
Although it is an entirely new game, rather than a continuation of the old, it uses many elements of the old game in its construction. The game's title is a metaphor for the way vampires within the game view their life.
The second edition was initially introduced by Onyx Path Publishing in December 2013 as Blood and Smoke: The Strix Chronicle, and re-released in December 2014 for Requiem's 10th anniversary as Vampire: The Requiem Second Edition.
