So what's in Makers?
The Makers Sourcebook opens up with a section which explains the basics. What kind of roleplaying game is Makers? Who/what is a Director? Two ways to play lets you choose to use the classic RPS (rock, paper scissors) method or draw cards (themed cards are in the process of being made with a 2014 release by Dark Phoenix Publishing). The opening section leaves us with a few of the myths associated with Makers and elders.
Entering the world of Makers
The first chapter explains in detail the responsibility a Maker has to their progeny. Whether your character was abandoned by their Maker or currently has their Maker in their unlife, this section will help flesh out that part for you. Players may attempt to assume information when it comes to Damnation, but Makers proves you cannot assume anything. Breaking down Makers and the restrictions they face by Bloodline is also in this first chapter including Bucoli, Cherche, Eligiere, Lilian, Lilliana and the mystical Lyhin.
Next we see the book break down Houses, attitudes and ownership. A sample of this can be seen here:
Elder: “Who are you?”
LIberi: “John.”
Elder: “John? Who do you belong to, John?”
Liberi: “I belong to Markus.”
Elder: “What is your House?”
Liberi: “House Eligiere, Sir.”
The idea of ownership is a very important ideal within a House. All Makers are assumed to “own” their children until they are released. Once a Maker releases his progeny, they are considered “on their own”
Character Creation
Again, we have included Character Creation in this Sourcebook. Keeping to the idea that we don't want you to have to carry around ten or twenty books to be able to play, Character Creation and a portion of the system tailored to a Maker/elder character is included. This information is not as helpful to a lower level vampire as it is a higher level which makes Makers such a valuable tool to the experienced roleplayer.
