This version of the game does not shy away from any of the above, and we believe exploration of subjects like these is as valid in roleplaying games as it is in other media. Including a problematic subject in a Storytelling game is not the same as glorifying it, and if you take the chance to explore it critically, it can be the exact opposite. If we understand the problems facing us, we are better armed to fight them.\u003Cbr>V5 includes in-world references and expressions ofthe following: sexual violence, political extremism, physical violence and gore, mind control, torture, abuse, imprisonment and kidnapping, racism, sexism, and homophobia, to name a few. It’s a game about monsters.\u003Cbr>“Why are you telling me this?” you might be saying.\u003Cbr>Someone at your table is not familiar with this game. Someone at your table has dealt with some of these issues in real life. Someone at your table wants to know that you read this warning and know you will be considerate to them as players, while putting their character through the wringer.\u003Cbr>In the Appendix, you will find concrete techniques on how to handle difficult subjects in your game in a manner that is respectful to your players and their experiences. Calibrate beforehand which techniques your group wants to use. People have different needs and not every method works for every person.\u003Cbr>This is a game about monsters. But it is only a game.\u003Cbr>Don’t use it as an excuse to be a monster yourself. | |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\nDEDICATIONS  \nTo you, the reader, player, and fan of Vampire: The Masquerade, we dedicate our passion, work, gratitude, and love;  \nTo our 20-something-year-old selves, who’d be pretty blown away at what we’d eventually end up with in our hands;  \nand  \nIn loving memory of Stewart Wieck, co-founder of White Wolf and co-creator of the World of Darkness.  \nWHITE W OLF ENTERTAINMENT  \nTobias “Excel” Sjögren – CEO | Martin “Elricsson” Ericsson – lead storyteller | Karim “Karnak” Muammar – editor in chief Dhaunae “Daphne” De Vir – business developer | Tomas “The Old One”Arfert – artist and editor  \nD E S I G N  \ndeveloped by Kenneth Hite and Karim Muammar  \nsystem design – Karim Muammar, Kenneth Hite, and Karl Bergström  \nstory & creative direction – Martin Ericsson  \nproducer –Jason Carl  \nwritten by – Kenneth Hite, Martin Ericsson, Matthew Dawkins, Karim Muammar, and Juhana Pettersson additional writing by-Mark Rein•Hagen, Karl Bergström, Jason Andrew, Freja Gyldenstrøm, Jacqueline Bryk and Neil Gaiman editing – Freja Gyldenstrøm, Jennifer Smith-Pulsipher, and Karim Muammar  \nA RT  \nart direction – Mary Lee, Tomas Arfert, and Martin Ericsson | artistic consultant-Anders Davén book design and layout – Christian Granath, Tomas Härenstam, Tomas Arfert, Johan Nohr and Fria Ligan ABcover – Tomas Arfert | interior art and illustrations – Mary Lee, Mark Kelly, Sarah Horrocks, Tomas Arfert, Anders Muammar, Mike Mignola, and the CCP Atlanta art team directed by Reynir Harðarson, consisting of Erling Ingi Sævarsson and many more.
