After ten extraordinary years with White Wolf, the World of Darkness, and Paradox Interactive, I’m closing this chapter with deep gratitude, and beginning another. Working on Vampire has been one of the greatest honors of my career. You can read my farewell note here.... 🦇🍷

Love the style of that game.
(1/3) Vampire Lords (gamefound.com/pl/projects/...) is an area control game. Each player controls a different Lord, distinguished by their abilities & action cards. Cards can be played as army/vampire movements or events. We can also "burn" cards to trigger one-time, powerful actions.
