Sanguinus Curae started in 1999 as a gathering place for articles about the old World of Darkness, and Vampire: the Masquerade in particular. The site was the brainchild of Belladonna and Benedira (a.k.a. the Bloodsisters), and it started with their excellent sense of taste and their well-written content. From there, it grew with user submissions and quickly became the kind of resource I wanted my own gaming site to be. Their sleek presentation and meaty articles set the bar high - just the way I liked it. Their performance enhanced mine.

They say that you don't know what you've got till it's gone, but that's not always the case. I kept an eye on Sanguinus Curae over the years and was glad to be able to refer to it. As World of Darkness web sites seemed to dwindle away and links started to go dead, it reassured me to see an old internet neighbor was still kicking. Imagine my surprise and dismay on New Year's Day, 2010, not long after the stroke of midnight, when I went to look something up and found that Sanguinus Curae had shut its doors. Being a Hitchhiker's Guide fan, I knew that "So long, and thanks for all the fish!" was final. So the first thing I did was send an email, because I didn't want their work to fade away from the internet.

And imagine my happy surprise when I was able to get permission from Belladonna and Benedira to repost their considerable content here. It will take some time, but I'm going to integrate everything they sent me and mark each article so that people know who the actual authors are. I am not going to edit or add to those articles, beyond weaving them into the style of this site. I am thrilled to be able to keep their work available, and I hope you will enjoy reading it.

Right now, you can find many Sanguinus Curae articles in the following sections of this site:
