I didn't think I needed a book on nodes and wellsprings before. Clearly I was wrong. This is an excellent in depth look at the implications and variations of these small hearts of creation, and how to impliment them into your games. It also collects rotes from previously published works along with new creations.

M20 The Rich Bastard’s Guide to Magick
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing
by William M. [Verified Purchaser]

This book does a good job of looking into the impact of wealth, but doesn't address as much how players might attempt to acheive it instead of what they would do if they had it. It has a number of rotes and items which are incredibly solid, but also is somewhat mixed with respect to consistency as to what wealth is and how it works on the largest scales. My views, to be fair, may be slightly unrealistic on the subject as someone whose degree and day job are in accounting. It's a very fair depiction from the perspective of being able to run a game for people who don't study the field.

I like the characters introduced for potential inclusion in your games, the sample chantry, and the general considerating of the impact of being rich, or becoming rich. The various clubs and organizations are a very useful resource to play in the shadows of your world of darkness. More importantly, it reminds us to look at the ways that someone without magic can change the world as much as the canniest mage. That makes for good stories.

M20 Book of the Fallen
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing
by William M. [Verified Purchaser]

I have a lot of mixed opinions on this book. My largest complaint is it had an entire chapter describing how all Nephandi are bound by a certain type of Jewish mysticism after saying that it wasn't antisemetic. The treatment of system effects on a number of rotes wasn't consistent with the M20 Core book. A lot of it felt like a love letter to playing a Nephandi mixed with lots of notes to not actually do so.

it had a great deal of updating older concepts from the Books of Maddness, which I appreciated, and if some of the elements had been edited out it would have been a much stronger and more useful release. Still, 2/3rds of it is worth reading.

Charles Siegel has a much more in depth review here. I agree with his opinions essentially.

Dark New England Regional Sourcebook
Publisher: White Wolf

An excellent and in depth region book with a wide range of characters that is worth the price of entry alone. This book has shed the 1st edition cringe which White Wolf worked hard to excise from their later edition products and taken a very respecful look at New England, complete with consideration for the First Nations who came before and the ramifications of vampirism predating colonists. Please, give it a read!

This book is an effective class in how to create a characte in detail, along with what they might actually try to do in the world. Additionally, if you need an effective NPC, you've got one.

Excellent collection of rotes. It's thorough and concise, making it easy to see how expectations have evolved within the system as well as simply providing inspiration for your characters and NPCs to shine.

Ascension's Landscape: Setting Refinements and Story Hooks

This was an excellent look at how to combine plot decisiongs, world building, and their larger scale impacts on the behavior of a setting. A couple small choices can have large scale impacts.
