What are the differences between Vampire: The Masquerade first and second edition?

I have both the second and the third edition, but have never played/read the first one.

Second edition simply clarified some of the details and fixed most of the errors that were in the first edition. Not to sure if you can find an errata online or not, that was before the WWW was around.

Do you know if the "errors" were only typos or involved some rule-fix too? – Lohoris Feb 19 '11 at 19:30

@Lo'oris Typo's and rule-fixes, I would have to go and find my first edition to make sure though (but that's about 6 hours out of reach). – Ben Kennett Feb 19 '11 at 19:34
@Ben: lol don't worry, thanks :) – Lohoris Feb 19 '11 at 19:35
I'm pretty sure that Celerity has changed in every single edition, so odds are it was different in 1e, too. – Jadasc Feb 19 '11 at 19:44

Confirmed - Celerity was one extra action per dot in both, but 2e cost 1 blood regardless of number of actions, 1e was 1 blood per action. – YogoZuno Feb 26 '11 at 0:26

The first edition had a series of drawn comics in the right corner that told the story of a new vampire and his journey after the Embrace. It was dropped for the second edition.

Oh lol, they tried again the comics in later games, but they were at the beginning of the books, instead. – Lohoris Feb 19 '11 at 19:50
