This episode discusses the core mechanics of the Vampire: The Masquerade fifth edition tabletop role-playing game. We explore the game's system for measuring time, resolving actions through dice rolls, and determining difficulty. We highlight the importance of narrative-driven gameplay, recommending that dice rolls are used sparingly and primarily to heighten dramatic tension in the game. The mechanics explained include tests, dice pools, modifiers, automatic wins, total failures, teamwork, and willpower, all of which contribute to the game's unique blend of storytelling and dice-based mechanics.
