Vampire The Masquerade Sourcebook by Storytellers Vault / White Wolf
Lisbon by Night is a sourcebook for Vampire: The Masquerade set in the Portuguese capital between 1933 and 1945, during the fascist regime of António de Oliveira Salazar. A city suspended between light and secrecy, between exile and empire, where Kindred and mortals live under a regime that censors thought, surveils movement, and rewards silence — a regime that enforces the Masquerade without knowing it.
Written in a literary, politically mature style, Lisbon by Night offers:
- A detailed portrait of Lisbon under the Estado Novo: its geography, daily life, classes, faith, fear and contradictions.
- An original power structure: the Pact of Coimbra, a clandestine alliance between Ventrue, Tremere, and Lasombra who rule not through Princes, but through bureaucracy, surveillance, and occult architecture.
- 168 richly illustrated pages, including Kindred profiles, espionage networks, WWII geopolitics, and historical commentary grounded in academic research and artistic narrative.
- An appendix with pronunciation guides for non-Portuguese readers.
This is a game of shadows and restraint, not of explosions and glory. A setting for players who prefer whispered betrayals to open battles — and who understand that in Lisbon, even silence is political.
Lisbon by Night is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
