Hey Outstar! I just wanted to first say I'm a fan of yours from your YouTube. Its really funny I saw this jam before I even realized you hosted it and I thought about how I'd learned alot of what I know about VTM from you and that it would be awesome to get in on this. As for my actual question: Do we need to buy a 5th edition rulebook to use a reference for any of the RPG mechanics we use in the project.

I don't think it's necesarry unless you're building a really detailed RPG. I found the fan wiki so far covered all my needs. 

Nope, no need to buy the book in any scenario, if you want your mechanics to be similar to the particular ones from the book, you can always ask on Discord (or here) and people will help you out!
