(This short Guide to Vampire: the Masquerade was borrowed from the White Wolf website. Its a mirror site, just in case they decide at any time to get rid of it - it also has my comments, and is easier to navigate than the WW version! It has a very simplified dice system different to the main book, so ignore that, but on the whole it's a good introduction to vampires and the vampire world.
