And we ar the balm for this wound, we must cleanse it with fre, and purify it, and then the earth shall be ready forthe Parousia, and we shal be judged worthy. — Leopold of Murnau, The Testament of Leopold ‘The Inquisition has been accused of cruelty, fanaticism and worse, but its members shrug off the charges.

These beings threaten more than just the human body — their target is nothing less than the human soul. To battle them. requires the Inquisition use every tool, no matter how repulsive or offensive, Itis God's will by James Estes eet et ee Le CowrentsCredits: Written By: Jim Estes Developed By: Andrew Greenberg Euited By: Ethan Skemp Ast Director: Richard Thomas Layout and Typesetting: Aileen E.

Yes, an actual human being writes these words, and for the Vampire line it has been me, Andrew Greenberg. That's only one part of a developer's job — and usually the most painless. Not this time. I've been developing this game since 1991, back when the company was Stewart, Mark and myself. Now it’s what itis and I'm off to new frontiers. Goodbye and thanks forall the leters. You can now send them to Jennifer Hartshorn, the new Vampire developer — especially the ones about yourcharacters. [PLLGET YOU FOR THIS, ANDREW!!! —Jen)
