Vampire: the Masquerade (VtM) is a role-playing game in which players act as a vampire character in a story.
There are a few rules that are used mainly to avoid arguments
and to add a deeper sense of realism to the story. These rules direct and guide the progress of the story, and help define the
capacities and weaknesses of the characters. As a player in a Vampire Live Action chronicle, you will take on the persona and role of a vampire, whom you invent and then role-play over the course of a story. The life of
your character is in your hands, for it is you who decides what the character says and does. You decide what risks to
accept or decline. As the story flows, the characters direct and energize the progress of the plot, not the decisions of the Storyteller.
