There's Music in the Night

Now that you're one of them, it's your world too.

Secret histories of the undead, the clans and covenants that make up the danse macabre, rules for the mystic Disciplines - it's all here. Discover the nocturnal world as you've never seen it before. Requires the Mind's Eye Theatre core rulebook for play. Trade-sized and hardcover.

More About the Author

I am a professor, a writer, a friend and a husband - though not necessarily in that order! I live and work in southern New Jersey, where I do my best to make life in this oft-maligned state as fun and imaginative as possible.

I am occasionally a superhuman noir detective, a whimsical alchemist with the head of a rabbit or a raging barbarian, but not as often as I'd like for any of them. Still, I'm working on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the original, September 21, 2005

An excellent reset of the LARP system. Most of the book is essentially reprinted from the sit-down book, but there are some subtle changes. Transferring characters from RP to LARP is essentially effortless, as very little changes. A few disciplines change how they work, such as Vigor, but the dots on the paper don't change. I love the new Status system; it'll create even more political unrest and machinations than before. In some ways, Status might be the most important of all the stats in the live-action. Combat is less deadly by comparison; it's difficult to kill anyone now, which is probably a good thing. Poison their friends against them though...which to me is more what Vampire should be about.

I know there are always going to be those that cling desperately to the old ways; gamers are often the worst of the lot when it comes to this, still playing 1st edition Dungeons & Dragons or whatever. But if you approach this with something of an open mind, you will be impressed. I know I was.

This review is from: Minds Eye Theatre The Requiem (Vampire the Requiem) (Hardcover)

I was one of those hardcore Old World of Darkness players - I swore that I would NEVER touch the NWoD. What a mistake!

I have begun playing in the new system. The new system I have found to be fast, effective, and fun! The LARP system for NwoD is far more effective and easy to use with more depth and dimension than the orginal LARP system.

Also, this book is hardcover, meaning it can survive the abuses a LARP can dish out even better.

White Wolf has responded to customer criticism and shelved the proposed liscensing policy mentioned in a previous review, so don't make your decision based on that information...
