Victorian Age: Vampire is a tabletop role-playing game published by White Wolf Publishing on September 30, 2002. It is part of the World of Darkness series, and is based on the 1991 game Vampire: The Masquerade. Players take the roles of vampires existing in secrecy among humans, in 1880–1897, during the Victorian era. The setting is primarily focused on Europe, but also features locations including Africa, India, and the United States. The core book does not contain the full rules for the game, and so an additional rulebook is required, such as Vampire: The Masquerade Revised Edition or Dark Ages: Vampire.
The game was created by Justin Achilli, Kraig Blackwelder, Brian Campbell, Will Hindmarch, and Ari Marmell. It is themed around Gothic literature, and also features themes of British imperial oppression, sexual repression, social reform, and clashes between ideologies. It was produced as a one-off, and supported with two supplementary books. It has also been adapted into the live action role-playing game Vampire by Gaslight and a novel series by Philippe Boulle; characters from it also appear in the Vampire: The Masquerade supplement Fall of London. The game was critically well received for its historical setting.
