BALANCE OF POWER
A Live-Action _Vampire: the Masquerade_ Roleplaying Experience

'Nine months. The measure of a human life, rise and fall
of
heat and harvest, unending cycle from which We Caine's twice-

Lupines, sensing hesitation and weakness in the midst of their would-be
prey, have expanded the bounds of their hunting grounds from the western
territories. Certain knowledgeable elements within the human
populace
redouble their previously ineffectual efforts, making dangerous first
steps
into the great game played between man and monster. And the
traditionally-closelipped
Tremere ranks run rife with accounts of newcomers to the city wielding
powers of which no being, Cainite or otherwise, should be possessed...
