Laws of the Night

The FREE Laws of the Night Quick Start Guide is now available!
The Quick Start Guide (QSG) is designed to give new players an easy start in V5 larp- something to glance through quickly to get the gist of what a mechanics based larp offers. They can then pick a ready-made character out of the back and jump right into game and play for a couple of sessions. It even provides a resolution mechanic for brand new players that trivializes challenges or encourages veteran players or backup storytellers to teach the new player the full process of what they are attempting to do.
The QSG functions as a recruitment tool for larp groups and those who want to get an idea what Vampire: The Masquerade is all about, but it does not allow one to create a fully fleshed out character, or one with significant xp to it. For example if you are attending our first Premium V5 VtM event, Darkness Emergent, in San Antonio November 2-5th, you will definitely want the full book.

You can find the free QSG and free character sheet alongside with your watermarked full PDF (free to backers, available for purchase for those who missed out) here :  https://bynightstudios.com/laws-of-the-night-books

 We are excited to let you know that the first Laws of the Night PDF is available now!

This PDF version of "Laws of the Night" serves as a first release to help players get started. It focuses primarily on the rules and is designed for easy reference during gameplay. It's text-heavy to facilitate quick searches with ctrl+F, making it a practical resource for players. 
A deluxe edition of the PDF will have more space and additional artwork; this is an important and popular aspect of RPG books, as artwork can enhance the immersive experience for players. The deluxe PDF will come out in about a month. You will receive the deluxe edition PDF once it is ready at no extra cost!  Extra artwork for the deluxe hardback book has already been approved and will be included too.
This being the first version, while we proof read and edited the PDF, if we missed something, we welcome readers pointing out any spelling or continuity errors, or grammar and design issues as well as clarification you feel are needed so the deluxe PDF can be even better!  Any such feedback should go to:  [email protected]

To get your PDF, go to our website and make sure you are logged into your account with the email you used to back Laws of the Night.  Then go to the Laws of the Night category https://bynightstudios.com/laws-of-the-night-books), and the Pocket PDF should show as FREE.  Add it to your cart, and check out as normal; adding a billing address but no credit card details as it is free/ you already paid. You can then download the PDF from your order screen, or from the order confirmation email.

Even though this version of the PDF is art-light, it is a big book so we recommend being on a strong, stable wifi connection when downloading.
