Occult Tome
Publisher: White Wolf

As a free offering, Occult Tome can't be beat. Its basically a self contained blood magic Jumpstart that provides details on both Mentors and Magic Tomes (aka books).

The DSC Gaming Club can not wait for the full release.

As a freebie, this shows more promise that a lot of Kindle Selects. Some maturity of prose could be used, But overall the ideas are well fitting to a mystical or occult game. Giving players and ST's equally a spring board for creating and estimating the worth for occult books with a direct Vampiric function. For those that worry is it balanced, it can be, but to give a single PC access to this as just as unbalanced as most secondary books.

Typically with free offerings you get a nice idea but maybe it includes some broken mechanic or cheap clip art and you are left with telling yourself "ok well I got what I paid for". This little freebie doesn't do that however in my opinion. It's a self contained blood magic jumpstart that provides a much needed mechanic for vampires who rely on in game blood magics.

This is something the main game should have had with it from the get go. I found it system is pretty straight forward and not too crunchy with numbers. I enjoyed the idea that an occultic tome could not only contain some much needed lores or occult knowledge but also information on paths and rituals.

At the end of this freebie are some potential plot hooks/inserts in the form of brief stories about a few sample items designed using the rules and potential mentors.

All in all if this freebie is what I can expect from the full packet the writer has mention then I will be eagerly awaiting it's release. As for this packet: if you are a Storyteller this is a must have addition to your games.
