Heritage, Chapters and Blood Feud

Interesting to compare the three forthcoming Vampire: The Masquerade board games.

Heritage is a big long-running legacy game about ancients fighting for centuries. The character art is very classical and painterly in style as well as content, and the logo wouldn’t look out of place at a big museum gallery show, it all says this is a big history game.

Chapters is also a legacy game, but on a much smaller scale, with modern newly-turned vampires. The investigative focus and preview art of gloomy rooms and outdoor locations combined with the title always make me think of a true crime podcast like Serial, and the logo looks like it would fit one as well.

Blood Feud is more factional fighting but on a city level, the kind of thing that happens month-to-month in LARPs and the like, and sounds like it was designed for conventions and big game meets. The title and logo say This Is About Vampires most clearly.
