Well, 2013 has been a busy year. With everything from getting the new layout put into the Vampire: Undeath Corebook and getting that whole mess put to bed we've been in negotiations with several writers and artists to get a deadline out for the Deluxe Corebook for Vampire: Undeath. We've heard some moans and groans about how it's going to be in print and a limited print run. "Why would you do that?" We've heard people cry on FB and Google +. Well, the answer's easy and we already said it. Because it will be a limited run. Which means ALL of the Deluxe books will be a limited run, released and then bam, done. Want a copy? Pick it up while it's for sale.
What's Been Released
If you head over to scribd.com you'll see the Bucoli, Daemoni and Makers Sourcebooks are all for sale at the standard $9.99 price. When Makers was first released it was sold for a much lower price as a sale, which ended and now it's at the regularly scheduled price of $9.99. In case you're not familiar with those books let's cover it quickly.
Bucoli are a Bloodline of the Daemoni. They're equipped with Blood Magic and can use a wide array of magical tools, instruments, Rituals and such. They're the darker version of the Eligiere. Bucoli are cut-throat businessmen who put their House before anything else. Spreading their Influence they often bump elbows with the Eligiere who try to power-broker there way into the mortal lives controlled by the Bucoli.
Daemoni believe they are cursed by Satan, descendants of the first Mage they use their power of Viscerorr to turn into living pools of blood to seep into the cracks of the Carpathian Mountains where they have underground castles and structures known as the Breeding Pens. Daemoni do not Turn from mortal stock that doesn't come from their own pens and they are twisted, dark vampires who believe they fulfill a natural purpose as predators. They too have Blood Magic, a more potent form than that of the Bucoli which they use to maintain a hold on the Vampire Nation.
Makers is a sourcebook which covers becoming a Maker. All of the questions regarding progeny and creating said progeny are within Makers. The Sourcebook also covers becoming an elder and what being an elder means for most vampires.
What's Coming
Lyhin is the Sourcebook covering the magical vampires. We've heard fans trying to guess what the Lyhin are and what the book will be about. Lyhin are vampires created by a magical Ritual. They are part Fae, part magical Essence and part mystery. Lyhin masquerade as other vampire Bloodlines and conceal their identities for being caught means alerting the Daemoni, their sworn enemy. Putting the House above all things and masquerading perfectly are the hallmarks of a Lyhin. The Lyhin also use a form of Blood Magic which revolves around nature allowing them to perform some pretty cool feats.
House of Nicolai is the Sourcebook which reveals a Bloodline of the Daemoni. Around the Dark Ages, a thaumaturgist named Nicolai learned the secrets of Necromancy from mysterious spirits. Since then he has managed to break the bonds of his former masters and created a House far from the reaches of the Daemoni -or so he thought. Laying the foundations of Necromancy, the House Nicolai protect the House and both its' mortal and immortal counterparts.
Hunters is the first non-vampire related release coming. Hunters are mortals who have suffered a great loss. Branching from the foundation of Vampire: Undeath, Hunters must overcome both Delirium and Discord if they are to exact justice and gain their revenge against the supernatural hordes which scarred them. Each Hunter is created as a mortal wounded by tragedy. Through gameplay they find they are not alone and are given the tools to defeat their enemies.
Update: Obia is a Sourcebook which covers the Obia Bloodline. An offshoot of the Bucoli, Obia are masters of darkness and shadows. Mentioned in the Bucoli Sourcebook and the House Nicolai Sourcebook, Obia are vampires who were banished to the Shadow World. Spending centuries in this world is said to have warped them as they struggled for survival. Discovering and refining their Dark Gift of Umbris, the Obia are masters of darkness, able to come and go undetected within the world.
