The Kindred present a blank screen to the outside world: the Masquerade. But behind it, horrors accumulate -- on the streets of their cities, in the halls of their Courts, and in the Blood in their veins. That horror overflows in predatory killings, in twisted uses for vampiric power and position, and in a million spatters and shards. They slowly shred the facade of the Masquerade, and what we see behind it is a panoply of horror. Behind the Tattered Facade lie many shadows, and all of them conceal darker secrets still, from the Masquerade Machine itself to the worse things waiting for it to fail. BR>BR> This book details the ecology and deepens the horror of Vampire: The Masquerade by working with the game systems to choose a shade of darkness: body horror, Gothic horror, folk horror, or even cosmic horror. Tattered Facade is the 17th hardcover release for Vampire: The Masquerade the genre-defining Storytelling Game of Personal and Political Horror.
