Vampire: The Masquerade RPG - In Memoriam

You have been dead longer than you were alive, and your nights are haunted by the echoes of history. In Memoriam is a crucial sourcebook for Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition, designed to immerse players in the complex lives of older Kindred.

Whether you wish to create a Kindred of 100, 150, or even 200 years, this guide provides the tools to detail your backstory and relive the formative trials that forged your character into the monster they are today.

With guidance on 11 distinct mortal eras and 8 pivotal Kindred events, In Memoriam provides a rich tapestry of lore, resources, and plotlines to explore. The book also introduces six new Loresheets that link your characters directly to significant historical moments, ensuring their personal narrative is interwoven with the grand history of the World of Darkness.
