Vampire Players Guide, 2nd Edition Hardcover – December 1, 1995

I only recently got into playing Vampire. It's a pretty fun game. I was always turned off by it because of some of the stereotypes associated with the game from the 90's and thought there was no way it was my kind of game. However, I had a chance to play White Wolf's super hero RPG Aberrant, which I loved, and then was given a whole pile of Vampire the Masquerade books some time after that. After reading through a couple of the clan books and the main RPG book, I found that I could play a vampire style RPG game that I'd be interested in through the White Wolf system and the use of those books. It really is a great game world that White Wolf has created for Vampire and, if you can get past some of the cheesy 90's infused dramatics, there's a great game at the core. The stereotypes that follow this game are really unfortunate because, like any tabletop RPG, the game can be shaped to fit the needs of the player group. Vampire provides a rich background with a lot of options for players and ideas for game masters. The White Wolf system is easy to learn and quick, and fun. The Players Guide copy that I had originally was pretty beat up, so I ordered the newer copy through Amazon. I think this is a testament to how much use it got and shows what a useful book this one is for the game. I've been referring to it quite often. After looking through the beat up copy that my friend had given me, I had to order the newer copy. Give this older game a try. You won't be disappointed.

I ordered this book knowing that it was used, and would likely have some mild damage. Though it was not as pristine as a new book, there was very little wear on the binding, and was exactly as described. Shipping was very reasonable and arrived before expected. I would definitely order from this bookseller again. The book itself is a great resource for any of us still clinging to the Old World of Darkness game environment. It has a number of familiar merits and flaws, as well as basic information on some of the bloodlines. The secondary skills section is great for creating more specific characters, and fills in some of the skills that older vampires would have that are not covered in the main book.

book was received in a condition that was as described by the seller. keeping it as part of my collection of old school RPGs that helped kept my imagination occupied in college.

This book is a great resource for anyone playing Vampire Masquerade. It does not replace the core rulebook, but augments a lot of the core rules. It expands on the merits and flaws available for characters and provides a lot of background on the society of the kindred. It really helped me to understand some of the more complicated clans (such as the Tremere) as well as giving me a leg up on political intrigue by understanding the games of status and prestation. This book can add a lot of dimension to the Masquerade game.

I am happy with the book, in that it is used but in really good shape. The seller had the condition marked correctly for the book. I found no notes within the book from a previous owner. And I do plan to get the whole 2nd edition World of Darkness/White Wolf publications for use in Role-play.

Whether or not you play 2nd edition is irrelevant. This book contains so much useful information such as weapon charts, ammo specification, conditions, tips, vehicles, different clan options, it's so useful and so versatile.

Decent purchase and will help with the game . Might of mentioned part of the book was randomly upside down. Still fora buck I will just take it.

You have to have this book to play a good Vampire chronicle! The merits and flaws and advance disciplines make it a must have

Maybe a little old now, but this is definitely a must-have for VTM players. It has a vast array of new clans, disciplines and skills not present in the core book (the second edition).

What I wanted, it is the extension to the player hand book with the additional clans.

I love that this adds more to an already better ga me. Glad I picked it up as it adds more depth and expands your character horizon.
