Posting these as I haven't before (on Tumblr), but for those interested in V5 and aren't opposed to the sporadic need for homebrew. I write some Storyteller's Vault stuff.
Blood and Country was my first and is basically "But what if rural vampires?" as well as a completely relaxed and not at all emotional, personal fuck you to White Wolf's god awful lore around Australia, which comes in the form of werewolf-hunting Aboriginal vampires.
Call to Lineage = a bunch of loresheets related to vampiric lineage.
A Life of Blood = quality of life homebrew stuff. Ever expanding document.
Unliving Cities = a "how to build your cities" book with tables, and breakdowns of the ways in which certain laws/sects affect WoD cities.
Baali Apostates = the Baali, but in V5, they're spooky and parasitic in a way that makes their threat appropriately uncomfortable.
Tzimisce Reshaping the Clan = another passion project of just re-writing clan Tzimisce in V5, because sadly they were done dirty, including speculative lore continuation, discipline changes, loresheets, loose Revenant rules, etc.
Those Who Seek the Heart's Blood = talking about Diablerie, creating some groups/cults that use it as a tool (my favourite are the Gestalt Society who are Elders letting themselves be Diablerised so they can wear a Neonate suit) and a bunch of other fun things.
Bordeaux by Night, players guide revised edition with a brand new layout, more art and much better coterie charts is now available! It'll be PWYW until Sunday 22nd.
It will remain free if you purchased the Bordeaux Bundle, just repurchase it for $0.00!

Secrets of the Masquerade’s Guide to Siring
This small guide is a collection of psychological reasons about why would a vampire consider and actually embrace anyone, and comes with three sample would-be neonates, each with three potential siring situations. It is going to be part of my future Guide to Storytelling in terms of involving PCs to the setting through their relationship with their Sire.
Secrets of the Masquerade’s Guide to Playable Characters
This Guide is aimed at beginner and advanced players to think about how they create the characters that will work together, be balanced enough, be part of a given clan, and will become the protagonists of the one shots and campaigns of the Storyteller. It has also a section about how to consider playing diversity in a thoughtful and respectful way.
Secrets of the Masquerade’s One Shots, Mens Sana in Corpore Sano
This small One Shot is a behind closed doors story of a small but knot-tight coterie who are going through hell and trying to understand what in the world is going on. It’s about how Neonates are always someone’s pawns for better or for worse (spoiler alert: it’s more likely to be for worse).
Secrets of the Masquerade’s Guide to Storytelling (FULL)
And now the full book: Guide to Storytelling is all about building your city and your NPC relations so it becomes a living breathing believable situation. It also includes how to form your group of players, how to set boundaries and elements you might find useful around your table.
Secrets of the Masquerade’s Major Arcana
A small mechanical guide for Mage, which uses the Major Arcana Cards or Tarot (two suites provided in the book) to affect the practitioners of Magick and the world around them.
Each card affects spheres and elements in game, and can give a slight permanent effect, or have a strong one-shot effect.
Secrets of the Masquerade’s Guide to Dying
Similar to Guide to Siring, with two characters in common, Guide to Dying is a small Wraith supplement to help and give death causes and situations to your very own ghost. Expect an update with new character art in their wraith forms!
Secrets of the Masquerade’s Life sucks and then you Die
A meme inspired free / PWYW product with stupid and shameful deaths. Space toilet worth. All the causes are true and have happened, making reality stranger than fiction more than once.
Mage friends! @janothar​ has put his second product on the vault, and that’s the Mystic Armory!
180+ pages of pure Wonders (see the pun?!)
Grab it right here
And to celebrate that release, the Enlightened Grimoire (with all the rotes!) is discounted from its original price.
If you’re into Mage, these are must haves.
Also, full disclaimer, these are my affiliate links to drivethru, if you purchase anything through them, it gives me a small commission which I’ll use to purchase more amazing art for future Vault publications (and that also means I can keep the prices quite low, since I’m not really living off of it I try to reuse all funds to buy art and license pieces for other works)
