Vampire: The Requiem

Vampire: The Requiem Second Edition is a rulebook revision for Vampire: The Requiem. While keeping the basic premise and structure of the game intact, it dramatically overhauls the setting and rules. It incorporates elements from Requiem for Rome and the Requiem clanbooks, including the Strix, demonic antagonists that debuted in the Roman setting.

Themes
I'm pretty loose with themes, and it sort of depends on what's in focus. There's a few of the standard themes of vampiric life; Nature of power, how much you're willing to hurt others to stay alive, fighting the beast, keeping your humanity, but I think I might include a bit of focus on class difference (rich vs poor, reagents vs thralls) given the nature of vampires and the eras I tend to keep drawing characters from.

Setting
The setting will be a fictionalized New York we'll call Gotham.Gothic architecture mixed with cramped noir style alleys, places where the sun might never shine even during the day, if it ever stops being cloudy and dreary. I'm planning on implementing all the basic political factions with a very even amount of power between the orders, the heads of each clan, and the prince and his cadre themselves.
