These Mean Streets
Publisher: White Wolf
by Josh H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 09/26/2018 13:24:16

This book is a fantastic resource to Storytellers and Troupes that use the By Night Studios larp rules. The first segment is an alternative setting focused on younger kindred and the street level games that work best for ensuring you focus on the personal horror of vampire. Later chapters include an in-depth investigation into what backgrounds do, what they mean, and how they can be portrayed in a larp setting. This alone makes this book worth every penny you'd spend on it. The list of suggestions for Alternative Identities, the explanation of Resources, all of this is super valuable and... well... useful. Not everything you'd find out there that talks about larp is useful, and this is.

Then there is Chapter 5, which provides rules for adjusting how well built the Masquerade is in a particular city or setting. I mean... you don't have to have this in your game but now that I've read it and thought about how useful this is for mentally adjusting behavior in a city. Yeah, these rules are helpful for ensuring the right impact to the setting from the behavior of your Kindred/Players.

The Conspiracy rules presented in Ch 7 are an excellent adjustment of the Werewolf quest rules to the Vampire setting. They are well designed, well crafted, well understood as representing the way people play Vampire in troupe or organization play.

Check out this supplement if you plan to run the BNS Larp rules. You will not be disappointed if you choose to bring them into your games.

Progenitors Crash Cart, Issue 2
Publisher: White Wolf
by Josh H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 09/22/2018 21:03:19

When I'm planning to run a game I'll skim through books to pick up ideas, thought forms, and strings of concepts that I can utilize to hang a story on. The great thing about this book is that it provides that in heaps with Chapter 2. The NPC, Dr. Grillard is amazing, and I won't spoil anything, but he is a very dark and purposeful beast. He would be a villain I would easily pull into a chronicle. Then, there are the Rolling 13s, who are an awesome group for folks to bring into their Florida based games. So, win-win on the NPC concept front.

Then, for those of you that love your crunch, you've got Chapter 3 and 4, which provide Enhancements and Procedures that you can use for either Dr. Grillard, or other Progenitors that you might use in your own games. So, for this price, the book is 100% worth every dime, regardless of the types of things you are interested in getting out of a book.

Wr20 Handbook for the Recently Deceased
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing
by Josh H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 07/21/2018 16:21:08

Wraith is not the easiest RPG to sit down and play. This handbook is going to be required reading for every player of mine from here on out. The guidance on Shadowguiding is essential reading, well presented and immediately helpful! This little book is the perfect taste of the game to help a new player get focused on what matters in Wraith and to a new Wraith in world. Even the most weathered Storyteller will benefit from the brief suggestions and guidance here.

The Fallen Caern of Silver Pond
Publisher: White Wolf
by Josh H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 07/03/2018 13:59:23

Can those that dance the spiral be redeemed? This Dark Ages supplement provides rules for sections of Germany in the Dark Ages as well as being an excellent resource for playing characters that might make a recently tainted Sept their home. This offers an interesting question. Can these Garou be redeemed before they fall fully to the Wyrm? Will other Garou try and save them, or kill them? The NPCs are incredibly engaging, particularly Thunderstrike, the Caern Leader. I'd really recommend this book. Layout is fantastic, art is used really well, and the story is engaging.

Forgotten Corners of the Earth: A Listing of Lost Caerns

Solid ideas here! Other than the caerns, which are the core focus of this product there are a few rule additions as well that are interesting and useful! The writing and layout is perfect and Rachel continues to impress with high quality work.

To sup upon the city
Publisher: White Wolf
by Josh H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 06/26/2018 12:46:29

This work focuses on a single, and vital, location in the area around Gary, Indiana. Built for the author's own chronicle this product really provides something interesting and engaging for a 1st/2nd Edition chronicle. It is that element that makes this book really worthwhile for Storyteller's looking to understand some of the feel that Vampire 5th Edition is hoping to hit. This book would be an awesome link to Rusted Veins. It focuses on humanity, pulling on the importance of feeding in a way that often gets ignored in other versions of the game.

Author has updated the work, and the minor errors in the original are gone. Worth all the stars. Pick up this book!

Thank you very much for the review. I am really glad that some of the core themes I tried to evoke were present. The issue with editing errors does concern me, as I try for the best possible quality. Over the next week, I'll revise the title and re-release.

Artifacts of Blood
Publisher: White Wolf
by Josh H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 06/25/2018 10:14:26

The Good This book is a flawed masterpiece of storyhooks. The artifacts presented are really engaging and come from older versions of Vampire. The first, the Bow of the Moon and Stars is a fascinating artifact if you are willing to dig into difficult territory. The ideas here are all top-notch and they gave me a lot of thoughts on how to make a campaign focused around each artifact.

The Bad The text is a little hard to read in several sections, and the layout isn't amazing. The art is evocative and that helps, but a more professional layout would help this product a lot. The editing isnt' stellar either, there are quite a few minor editing errors that mar the book. If the author updated these things, I'd easily bump this review up to a 5 star one, because I think this book offers something interesting to the genre.

The Cool From my perspective this book is worth the price, you'll get story hooks that offer some really interesting chronicle concepts that dive into different territory than most Vampire games.

Kindred, Contacts and Victims Art Pack vol.2
Publisher: White Wolf
by Josh H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/13/2018 08:01:17

Art is similar to the White Wolf art packs, and is totally appropriate to vampire. I'll be using both packs in upcoming work and I highly appreciate them. The only minor critique is that they come in pdf format, having the individual images in JPEG or PSD would be helpful, but that isn't enough of a critique to take any points off. This is priced well, and is great Vampire art.

Vampire Drawings

Just amazing. The art in this pack is some of the best art that is here on the vault. I've used the art for several spreads internally for the work I've done here and we are about to use one image for a cover piece. Buy this. Even if you don't create for the vault you should have this art in your life.

Unique Nosferatu Character Photos and Art
Publisher: White Wolf
by Josh H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 04/01/2018 11:49:44

Pretty much worth the cost just for the Nictuku Blood Fangs art, but the photographs are good as well. My only complaint is that it would have been good to get a full exposure shot to go with the images that have heavy shadows. That would give the layout designer a chance to manipulate the photo in a way that works best for future products. Solid work on the make-up to the person that created this character.

Seasons of Fear: Mont Saint-Michel by Night
Publisher: White Wolf
by Josh H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/07/2018 21:25:16

This book is worth every penny you pay for it! The layout is clean, and the art is fantastic. From a game runners perspective this is an awesome setting for a Dark Ages came with a focus on religion and close personal horror. I actually had meant to write a review a long time ago on this because I was solidly impressed. I'm a big fan of the Cainite Heresy elements in the Dark Ages setting and I think this book takes that concept and runs full-tilt with that concept. This is 57 pages of amazing content.

Clanbook: Ghiberti
Publisher: White Wolf
by Josh H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/07/2018 21:20:04

Well written and great layout, but the Bloodline/Clan doesn't do much for me. I think the major legacies for Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom have a lot of resonance to them, and this Giovanni offshoot has interesting elements to them, but I feel like they are missing a spark of something that is hard to nail down. Much of my academic work was focused on the region of Africa they are predominant in, so it may simply be that I don't see the richness I would like from this little book.

That said, the price is great and I could be wrong. The writing is solidly written. As a guideline for how to use these templates, it is fantastic. As a book I would recommend it doesn't quite have a certain je nais se quoi. C'est la vie.

I'd forgotten I'd purchased this book until this evening. I pulled this up and gave it a solid read. The quality of the layout is fantastic. The content is interesting, and though I know nothing about the city I was engaged with the details provided. It's a short, but well crafted city book and there isn't much more one could ask. If you are interested in this book, you should buy it.

Clanbook: Blood Brothers
Publisher: White Wolf
by Josh H. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/07/2018 21:10:24

I'm a fan of the Blood Brothers and have been for about twenty years. When I first got into Hellblazer (John Constantine) I was amused to discover they were inspired by a scene from that comic. This is a good treatment of the Blood Brothers in the Victorian Era. When I get a chance to run a Victorian Age game I'll likely pull this out and have some fun with it. The price is right, and that helps me leave any minor critiques to myself. It's worth your time to support.
