In addition, all of this can be integrated with both vampire coteries and player characters, mortals and ghouls from the V5 Companion and my expanded mortal rules in Fragile Mortality, but is also designed to work perfectly as an entirely standalone game (although it requires the V5 Core Rulebook).

This includes more period-appropriate Banes for many Bloodlines and Clans which are playable in V5's modern nights, some simple tweaks to Skills and some Advantages to make them more immersive for the time period and optional, but still lightweight rules for arms and armour in the Dark Agesmediaeval era.
