There are some fun and interesting dynamics here - if you've ever wanted to play in a Twin Peaks like setting, this is for you.
Some highlights are the discussion about Humanity, and some suggested expanded rules for its effect on gameplay, joining a few other books here on the SV that expand on previous ideas in ways we wouldn't see in a more traditionally published product. Another plus was the Red Hallow, which nails the Lynch-esque tone I mentioned above. I also liked the addition of a Kiasyd that made some sense, something I've struggled with before.
The reason it is 4 stars instead of 5? There are editing and formatting mistakes that detract from reading - it just tripped me up too much not to mention. Also I'm not a fan of one of the Lupine characters, but thats neither here nor there, each to their own.
Worth a read, minor grips aside!
