1. POPULATION AND SECT 01-60 Ventrue
The Vampire Revised core rulebook states that
vampires generally prefer to have a Cainite population 61-70 Toreador
of 1 vampire per 100,000 mortals. However, while that 71-80 Tremere
might be “realistic” (whatever that means when 81-90 Brujah
talking about a society of blood-drinking corpses), it 91-94 Nosferatu
would also make for some severely under-populated 95-98 Malkavian
cities, which isn’t quite as fun. Therefore, the table
99 Gangrel
below skews things a bit, most notably at the lower
end of the scale. 100 Unusual Prince. Roll a d10:
1-3 Lasombra antitribu

76-80 Toreador antitribu
This part is also where you determine the sect of the 81-87 Nosferatu antitribu
city. You can (and probably should) choose that for 88-93 Gangrel antitribu
yourself, but if you like you can instead use the 94-97 Malkavian antitribu
following table. 98-99 Assamite Antitribu

01-30 Brujah determine the distribution of each clan in the city. With
31-37 Ventrue 13 Clans, 10 noteworthy modern bloodlines, and the
38-44 Toreador Caitiff, this is a potentially daunting task. But you can
45-51 Malkavian do it!
First, find out the size category of the city, via
52-57 Nosferatu
Section 1. Easy enough. Once you’ve done that, decide
58-63 Lasombra or randomly determine the Clan Distribution of your
64-69 Ravnos city, applying the following modifiers depending
70-75 Gangrel upon the city’s size category:
76-80 Tremere
81-85 Assamite City Population Modifiers
86-90 Follower of Set City Size City Size Modifier
91-95 Tzimisce Small Town -4
96-98 Caitiff Average Town -3
99-100 Unusual Baron. Roll a d10: Large Town -2
1 Daughter of Cacophony Small City -1

3 Kiasyd Large City +1
4 Nagaraja Huge City +2
5 Samedi Metropolis +3
6-10 No Baron; the domain is ruled over by a Megacity +4

In addition to the above, Independent Regents apply a
Independent Regent further -2 modifier. This does stack with the city size
modifier. Independent Clans jealously guard their

independence and control of their cities, and this is

repeat results except Caitiff, which you will instead
total together. The blood runs thin these nights.

The ruler must likely contend with a Primogen
council. As well, a city as mixed as this inevitably
contains vampires from other Sects in significant
numbers. In some cases the dominant Sect may exist in
uneasy peace with the other Sect, but in most cases
some low-level conflict is constant.

Fully Integrated. The ruler’s clan is ahead of the

others by only the slimmest of pluralities. The ruler
must rely on an alliance of clans to control the city. A
city this mixed – which only happens in large and
thereby important cities – must necessarily include
members of other sects as well, and a city this large
sees a constant state of cold war for control of such a
prize.
