V20 Beckett's Jyhad Diary

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

It’s ever been a loaded word among vampires. Jyhad is in force everywhere from lofty, perfumed Elysium to cloying, smoke-filled blood feasts. Jyhad’s the eternal game played by elders, Methuselahs, and worse — it’s the agenda of beings so utterly beyond humanity, one such as yourself could scarcely understand its movements. 

Luckily for you, you’ve picked up a copy of my diary. With my help you may just take a step on the first rung of understanding. Information worth having is information you must earn through blood, and oh, how I’ve bled for what’s contained within these pages. 

— Beckett 

Beckett's Jyhad Diary serves as the definitive book of setting and plot for Vampire: The Masquerade, containing 30 chapters spanning different geographical regions, encountering vampires of every clan, profiling obscure and profound segments of the mythology, and providing countless story hooks on every page. 

Masterfully written by the likes of Neall Raemonn Price, Joshua Alan Doetsch, Myranda Sarro, Steffie de Vaan, Malcolm Sheppard, Alan Alexander, Renee Knipe, and Matthew Dawkins, Beckett’s Jyhad Diary is as fascinating to read as to use for your game Chronicles.

I liked Beckett, the character Matt Mercer played on L.A. by night. This is the same one, right?

Recently purchased this title, I got the standard color hardcover. I must say, it is a beautiful book.

It says that the premium color format is on sale until June 29, but it's not-- the standard color format is on sale. Can this be fixed?

As someone just getting into this game via V5, will this all be applicable?

Sorry, I am brand new to the game and lore, but this looks really interesting.

It will indeed. It sets down much of the plot for V5.

Is there a new release date for the physical german version? Don't mean to be impatient, but my retailer couldn't give me an update on that :(

Whats the different between Hardcover standard and premium?

The colours in the premium are more satuated as they are printed with digital colouring printers. I personally am content with the standard colour but you gotta decide in the end. Contents are the exact same and you will lose nothing.

here is an example

Is the PoD Premium Color Book version different from the copy I might purchase at Indie Press Revolution?
And where do I find any info about the shipping costs?
I live in Italy, and this is the 1st time I think to buy a PoD copy of a book here on DTRPG.

VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE remains the most influential of all tabletop roleplaying games in my life and is pretty much under DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS for influence on the world as a whole. The Blade Trilogy, Underworld, True Blood, Dark, Vampyr, and a huge number of other works were all influenced by it. Recently, Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition came out and electrified the fanbase. However, 5E didn't cover what a lot of people most remember about the game: the metaplot.

Metaplot for those unfamiliar with it is basically an ongoing story carried from book supplement to book supplement. In, say, Book 1# you'd meet a character called Lucita who is a vampire assassin and in Book 2# she'd show up again, only to be on the run from her sire and in Book 15# we'd find out she'd killed her sire. The metaplot of the vampire books covered everything from the oncoming vampire apocalypse, a war between vampire secret societies, conflict with Asian vampires, and who ruled what cities.

The book is fantastic. A nice blend of documents and story seeds to deliver meta plot material in an entertaining way. I'd love to see more like it!

What is the difference between “standard” heavyweight and “premium” heavyweight?

The main one is in paper and ink quality, I believe.

Just ink quality. The paper is the same. If it says "heavyweight," it's 70# paper.

If it was just "Standard," it'd be 50# paper.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
