In the wake of Bloodlines 2’s struggles, Vampire The Masquerade’s most famous face is leaving Paradox

Vampire: The Masquerade has a significant narrative in tabletop role-playing games, with many fans, including the author, drawn in by the series LA By Night. Jason Carl has played a crucial role in revitalizing the franchise since 2010, transitioning from CEO of By Night Studios to a game producer and brand marketing manager. Despite the success of LA By Night and New York By Night, recent video game projects like Bloodlines 2 have faced challenges, including a disappointing 57% score on Steam and a million write-down by Paradox Interactive. Carl announced his departure from the World of Darkness in a message on Discord, expressing pride in the community's contributions and confidence in the future leadership. He will be joining Tabletop Vacations as Dean of Dungeon Master University, focusing on helping Dungeon Masters enhance their skills.
