“Change is inevitable—it comes for us all—but we must guide it by the hand like a lover or it will destroy everything we have wrought. Every one of our stories has a beginning and an end, but we Kindred are unique in that we have the enviable opportunity to start anew. Death and rebirth. What path will she tread in her next life, I wonder?”



Night Road’s biggest strength was also one if its weaknesses, it’s structure allowed for the exploration of many aspects of VTM, but it also meant it couldn’t dive too deep into one particular aspect.

Parliament of Knives goes the other way and chooses to focus mainly on the intrigue side of the World of Darkness, the court is the place where these powerful and immortal creatures of the night spend their time in petty schemes to overthrow one another, an endless cycle of corruption that keeps the Camarilla stagnant and rotting. Can there be change from the inside when the people at the top are hundreds of years more powerful than you? Is the Anarch’s violent path truly the only way to change? Maybe running away with someone you care about is more worth it, but for how long can you hide from immortal creatures?

In the end, no matter how much changes, it feels like everything is the same.
