Bordeaux by Night - Storytellers Guide is part of a two book project by Secrets of the Masquerade.

The Players Guide contains all the geographical details about the city and larger domain of Bordeaux, its praxis, the public known opinions of the NPCs about each other and so on. It's an introduction to France and to Bordeaux as a city, and Bordeaux as a domain, foreigner-friendly.

The Storytellers Guide contains the true history of the city, important events ever since the domain was established, the true opinions about each other, all sorts of other supernatural critters, each character's background and how they perceived certain events, and obviously, story leads and starters for a one shot or for a campaign. Misinformation, hidden details, betrayals, lies as big as houses and as tiny as just a last name change, all create unique plot hooks that the PCs are in stellar positions to navigate.

The second tome of Bordeaux by Night is here, and it's massive!

Dig deep into all of the dirty terrible secrets of all characters. Who is lying about their clan? Who is the scourge of the land and must be disposed of? Who's death was faked? What will your players discover?

The Secrets are now yours to use.

This book overall is edition neutral, but its lore is closer to Revised era books (Gangrel clan having left the Camarilla...) while its feel and ambiance is 1st or 2nd edition (as behind closed doors personal and political horror). The heavily modified layout is 2nd edition.

Wine and blood come in many flavors, and in Bordeaux, it is often sweet and sour.



Known for its wine and architecture, Bordeaux hides many facets in its cellars. Open this Storytellers Guide for Bordeaux and find out all of the terrible horrors behind the Kindred court for a political and personal horror story.
