Having bought Nocturne when it was first released, I've only just gotten around to reading through it ... and, like all BTRC products, it is a quality effort and a very well done implementation of their EABA ruleset. As is often the case with BTRC products, the topic is rather "off the wall" ... a world-wide conspiracy of "dreamers" somewhat similar to PIG's "Ubidden" (but only somewhat), or like WW's "Wraith" (but even less so) crossed with Mage (maybe a little).
The rules are well presented and, importantly, work well, and the background detail is top notch. If you like a somewhat dark and mysterious modern day setting that is quite different from the usual thud and blunder genre, then Nocturne is it. And there's plenty of thud and blunder, too - just of a slightly more refined and intellectual nature :-)
Well worth the money!
