Vampire: The Masquerade is a role-playing game created by Mark Rein·Hagen and released in 1991 by White Wolf Publishing as the first of several standalone games that shared most of the same Storyteller System game rules and the shared World of Darkness setting. Players assume the roles of vampires that belong to racial and cultural clans.
Vampire: The Masquerade was later replaced by the (New) World of Darkness game Vampire: The Requiem.
