Product Description
There's Music in the Night
As the sun fades into memory and the world falls into darkness, the haunting notes of the danse macabre echo, calling the undead to play their nightly games. From turf wars in the streets to cutting remarks at society parties, old grudges spill fresh blood as vampires vie for power and prominence. It's a world without pity, a world of predators. Now that you're one of them, it's your world too.
Won't You Join Us?
The Requiem provides all the information necessary to bring the mysterious existence of vampires to your Mind's Eye Theatre game. 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.

 Old to New June 6, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.

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.

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...
New Take on Vampire July 9, 2005
0 out of 10 found this review helpful
If you are interested in old style world of darkness vampires, this game is not for you. If you enjoy party based games like D&D on a smaller scale, then this game is for you. Of course, I wish a shorter version of this book existed.
