Our preview post below was published on January 29.
Vampire: The Masquerade-CHAPTERS is a 1-4 player cooperative, story-driven campaign game that takes place in a fictional Montreal. You will be playing as a vampire, hungry for blood but also involved in investigations and encounters with enemies in a campaign consisting of over 40 scenarios. The Kickstarter launch is scheduled for February 4.
The game comes with a storybook, more than 300 event and investigation cards, 8 character minis and more than 100 NPCs (standees and their cards). When you start a scenario, you will read the prologue, then proceed to make choices in how to progress the story (e.g. if you will engage someone in combat or else charm them, blackmail them or avoid them).
When fighting takes place, you will be choosing the means (weapons, fists), using your attack cards to determine initiative, and rolling dice to resolve it. By reading through the dialogue supplied by investigation cards, you will unfold the story and make better decisions on how to treat your encounters.
You can try out a tutorial of the game on Tabletopia, and check out the KS Preview.
