'''Vitae Summa Brevis''' is a Vampire: the Masquerade RPG set in Victorian London. 

The name of the Chronicle stems from the 19th century Ernest Dowson poem of the same title:


''"They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,''

''love and desire and hate;''

''I think they have no portion in us after''

''we pass the gate.'' 


''They are not long, the days of wine and roses:''

''out of a misty dream''

''our path emerges for a while, then closes''

''within a dream."''


The year is 1867 and London is flourishing. The domain is growing - both in Kindred population and territory. Everything is changing, everything is evolving... but can all keep up?

The Chronicle follows the adventures of five members of the Clan of Roses, seeking their place among the web of Camarilla politics and petty Kindred intrigue. 

The annual Flower Festival - hosted and organised by the Toreador is fast approaching and all are awaiting their place within its theatrics. But not all is as it seems and some are more impatient than others...
