The themes and issues described in this game may be disturbing to some and distasteful to others. Though our purpose is not to offend, our use of the vampire as a metaphor and as a channel for storytelling may be misconstrued. To be clear, vampires are not real. The extent to which they may be said to exist is revealed only in what they can teach us of the human condition and of the fragility and splendor which we call life.  \nDedication  \nThis game is dedicated to Vaclav Havel poet, playwright and statesman who was its inspiration.  \n\"We are still under the sway of the destructive and vain belief that man is the pinnacle of creation, and not just a part of it, and that, therefore, everything is permitted.... We are incapable of understanding that the only genuine backbone of our actions if they are to be moral is responsibility. Responsibility to something higher than my family, my country, my firm, my success. Responsibility to the order of Being, where all our actions are indelibly recorded and where, and only where, they will be properly judged. \"  \nVaclav Havel, in a speech to the United States Congress  \n735 Park North Boulevard Suite128 Clarkston, Georgia 30021 USA [http://www.white-wolf.com](http://www.white-wolf.com)  \n[White Wolf will immediately prosectute individuals re-distributing](White Wolf will immediately prosectute individuals re-distributing) ([electronically or otherwise](electronically or otherwise)) [any text from these](any text from these)[ ](any text from these)[books without permission.
