White Wolf's Guide to the Sabbat for Vampire the Masquerade
Found this page in a box of old vampires while cleaning up a closet.
It is a table for randomly determining the clans of Sabbat Vampires in a city, in order to help establish power structures. I had a similar table to determine packs and so on, but I can’t find it. I would pull out a city, figure out the number of Sabbat in it, and then roll on the table x times to see how many I would have of each clan. From this, I would work on family charts and generational linkages as well as pack infrastructure.
D100 – Clan
01-04 – Assamite antitribu
05-10 – Brujah antitribu
11-16 – Gangrel antitribu
17-23 – Malkavian antitribu
24-29 – Nosferatu antitribu
30-43 – Pander
44-49 – Ravnos antitribu
50-52 – Salubri antitribu
53-60 – Serpent of the Light
61-66 – Toreador antitribu
67-72 – Ventrue antitribu
73-82 – Lasombra
83-92 – Tzimisce
93-96 – Blood Brother
97-100 – Other
I wrote a small program that did a similar thing for Cam members. I also had it randomly generate some key data, like resource and influence dots. It would then dump all this data to a text file. I also had it dump out a table of vamps sorted by perceived political power–I had a little system where I looked at their generation, resources, influence, and some other weighted factors. I would use the political power list to find the most likely person to be prince and primogen.
Can you link to me somewhere that I can download said program? would save a lot of time =)
You know I had one of these, isn’t that weird? I ran and entire campaign based on taking my adolescent life (16-21) and randomly rolling every person involved into a clan, then replaying the action and choices they made (but through a different lense and for different motviations wiht them being vampires and on diffrent sides in the masquerade) with a group of people who’d never met them. It shed new light on the people the NPC’s where based on but also provided on of the best and most real roleplaying settings I’d ever created.
