Victorian Age: Vampire is the first book in the second historical expansion for Vampire: The Masquerade. Taking place during the late 1800s, the Kindred still rule the night, but there are hints that their reign may not last for much longer.

Summary[]

From the White Wolf catalog:

A Tradition of Gothic Literature
A world only lit by gaslight. An epoch of literature that "exposed" vampires to the world. An era of wealth, imperialism, industry and change. For the Kindred, these are the halcyon nights: the last Romantic period of their prominence before the encroaching cynicism of the modern nights pushed them forever from the eyes of suspicious mortals.
It is a glorious fin de siecle, a brief period when the Damned truly thrilled to be undead.
