Welcome to episode 0 of VtM: By the Book. This series aims to go through all the published (and maybe some unpublished!) content of VtM book by book as close to release order as I can manage. This means we start not with the 1st Edition core book of the game, but with an earlier preview seen in White Wolf Magazine #26.

I also discuss some of how future videos will work, matters of problematic content, a quick rundown on lore and metaplot, as well as some real world history about White Wolf Game Studio and the creation of Vampire: The Masquerade.
