The colour coded themes are mostly my ideas of how to follow paths from previous editions. The webs of plots and plans should provide a lot of options to get a plot moving for chronicles set in the city. Each of these has to be rated from 1-5, and then the sum of those ratings dictates the magnitude of the bonus or penalties. Press J to jump to the feed.

Maybe this commercial neighborhood is loud, bright, and crowded, providing penalties on Composure rolls. Now, that’s 23 loresheets with 5 entries each, and 110 loresheet entries is way too many to cover ain detail. But there’s also an in-character examination of why the Lasombra are joining the Camarilla, and several different takes on that. At that point, the only way to prevent becoming a vampire is to avoid sleeping for as long as possible. After being cured, your face will lose the monkey-like features of the final stages of vampirism, but it will be wrinkled and withered, similar to signs of aging.

Even if you feed, the next time you sleep or wait you will still advance in vampirism (as if your advancements in vampirism were queued-up). Another entry on the Montano loresheet (Purity of Remorse) allows a character to always roll at least two dice on Remorse rolls. A priest of the cult is one of the characters in Chicago by Night. I imagine many coteries will not go the extra mile required for that outcome, which means there will be an extra fight later. These early books made Chicago by Night (along with The Succubus Club) the iconic Vampire setting for long-time tabletop fans (I will acknowledge that the Los Angeles area, location of both the Bloodlines video game and the ongoing LA by Night actual play series, is probably the iconic Vampire location for fans who are not quite so long in the tooth). Of course, there are recurring folks for nostalgia reasons – Horatio Ballard, Maldavis, Annabelle, members of Baby Chorus, Bret Stryker (he’s still so bad he’s good). NPC coteries could also readily make use of the carnival and fugitive types (player characters can as well, but this almost requires a less common traveling style of play). She gets along with her sire reasonably well, but wants to get to know more kindred and maintain her connection with humanity. There’s no reason that a loresheet needs exactly five entries with costs of exactly 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (we’ve already seen loresheets that don’t follow this model elsewhere). The Quick Take: Chicago by Night is the best of the V5 supplements, breathing new life into the classic setting. Background dots are never permanently lost in V5, but they can still be temporarily lost during play, and it still takes appropriate in-character action to recover them. The text is solidly presented on the basics, leaving you with an obvious-in-hindsight sense – the Sabbat has effectively ceased to exist and the Lasombra were kind of really only ever a major part of it because they were first written up for that purpose 25 years ago (the in-game canon long ago set up a Lasombra-only organization, the Amici Noctis, that provided a more controlled, political place for the Lasombra to be Lasombra, not just a source of middle management for a riot mob). However, three possible troublemakers are identified. So it’s appropriate that the first setting book for the fifth edition of Vampire: the Masquerade (V5) returns to Chicago with a new version of Chicago by Night from Onyx Path Publishing (Fall of London beat Chicago by Night to release, but it’s primarily a chronicle, not a setting book). Since every single loresheet in Chicago by Night follows that model, I’m guessing this model was either taken as a requirement.
