Facts from the source article.
Overview
Second Inquisition is a sourcebook for the fifth edition of the horror tabletop role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade, in which players take the roles of vampires. It describes the Second Inquisition and its backgrounds—globally connected churches and agencies in the setting that hunt vampires, including the American black project Firstlight and the Society of Leopold. The book provides information for storytellers to create antagonists from the Second Inquisition for their campaigns, and also describes artifacts and coterie tactics that players can use to fight the organization.
Production
Second Inquisition was originally announced in December 2018 by Modiphius Entertainment, after Paradox Interactive licensed Vampire: The Masquerade to them following a restructuring of their subsidiary and the series' former publisher White Wolf Publishing. Modiphius estimated a mid-2019 release, which was not met. In November 2020, Paradox Interactive again reorganized their handling of World of Darkness and partnered with Renegade Game Studios, who took over publishing duties and re-announced the book in June 2021. Like the previous Vampire: The Masquerade book Sabbat: The Black Hand, Second Inquisition was produced through a development process involving diversity consultants and diversity readers to ensure respectful depiction of themes and topics. The production staff viewed the book as a follow-up to both the core Vampire: The Masquerade rule book, which handles the organization abstractly, and the adventure module Fall of London, which portrays its activities in London. Renegade Game Studios released Second Inquisition on March 16, 2022, as a 140-page hardcover book, following several delays.
