Bordeaux by Night - Players 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.
This book overall is edition neutral¸ but its lore is closer to Revised era books (gangrel leaving the Camarilla...) while its feel and ambiance is 1st or 2nd edition (Behind closed doors personal and political horror). The heavily modified layout is 2nd edition.
Blood and wine come in many flavors
Known for its wine and architecture¸ Bordeaux hides many facets in its cellars. Open this player guide for Bordeaux and read about the city that was English due to a 12th century divorce and marriage¸ a city that traded metals and slaves¸ a city with high technology and world-renowned institutes¸ a city of patrimony¸ collaborators and resistants¸ of the precursors of the Enlightenment ideas and of fierce rivalries with Paris. And the biggest European sand dune.
