Vampire Storytellers Handbook Revised is a sourcebook for Vampire: the Masquerade that fills in the details left out of the main Vampire: The Masquerade Revised Edition that players best not know.
Summary[]
From the White Wolf catalog:
- The Final Nights Hide a Million Stories
- From the hidden horrors of the Camarilla to the naked fiendishness of the Sabbat, vampires play at the eternal Jyhad. Elders, ancillae, neonates, and... others... prowl the nights. Only one individual knows all the secrets of the World of Darkness.
- And They Must All Be Told
- The role of the Storyteller is a daunting one, and this book is an invaluable aid for those who orchestrate Vampire chronicles. It includes a myriad of information, including enigmas best left out of players' hands, to create stories and populate the casts of epic tales. The Vampire Storytellers Handbook revised edition leaves no stone unturned — except those that hide secrets no mortal should know.

- Systems for rare bloodlines, Disciplines and elder vampires
- Presents a Vampire FAQ, details for the True Hand, crossovers with other World of Darkness games and other secrets of storytelling
