Lunar Charms Pack
Publisher: White Wolf
by DSC T. G. C. _. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 03/10/2022 13:15:36

Lunars Charm Pack contains some new charms to use in your exalted campaign. We found the charms interesting and useful.

That being said this product suffers from horrible layout, font sizing issues, and low quality art. We noticed that on this product the author did the layout and editing himself while he normally has an independent editor. This product is an example case for the need of professional editing. We are still curious as to why this product was released without it as in the past we have seen this author's works include some quality graphic layout artists and/or editors credits.

Harbingers of Winter
Publisher: White Wolf
by DSC T. G. C. _. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 03/10/2022 12:42:18

This book by Radio Free Arcadia deals with the portents and beings that herald the Endless Winter and is presented as a toolbox that can be used to expand on the antagonist presented in the 20th annniversary corebook with each chapter dedicated to a particular threat. The first chapter deals with the growing friction between commoners and nobles created by the dwindling Glamour in a post Evanescence Concordia. The chapter details a new background, details on the Urban Renewall League and dark omens that affect the Dreaming.

The second chapter is about the Autumn People and cold iron chimera, their characteristics, organizations and new powers to help them drain Glamour from the World.

In the third chapter we get a look at the Dauntain as antagonists detaling some of their organizations, a new Art, Dooms and the effect they have on the Dreaming.

The next chapter presents the Thallain in greater detail with info on the Black Court, notable members, new systems for Dark Glamour and a new Kith.

The fifth chapter is about the Fomorians, their awakening in current times, their Courts and notable members for each one.

The last chapter expands upon the concept of the Tithed (that first appeared in Time of Judgement) and adds several systems for using them as antagonists.

Finally in the appendix adds two ned Dark Arts and the Maeghar (from DAV20 and the Black Hand a Guide to the Tal’mahe’ra for V20) as a playable kith.

Pros: Offers a tons of information and mechanics for antagonists that can be used in all kinds of Chronicles. The writting is very good, the lore and the rules are very interesting and balanced. Expands on the lore of the Dreaming and explores a concept from Vampire from the Changeling’s point of view.

Cons: The focus of the book affects only the Kithain leaving the other non western kiths out and most of the focus is in the Concordia. The writers have very clear political views that show in the chapter for the Autumn People. With the unfortunate implication that some of the horrors of recent times are caused/enhanced by supernatural influences.

Paved with Good Intentions
Publisher: White Wolf
by DSC T. G. C. _. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 03/09/2022 16:39:06

Base Information: 47 Page Document -> 36 Pages of content once you shave off everything before chapter 1 and the back advertisements. Closer to 22 page of raw content if you cut out all the art, I do appreciate the art choices but some people just want the meat and potatoes. This evens out to roughly 33 cents a page of raw content. A steal when one looks at it this way.

The Good: The book takes on the undertaking of looking at alternate forms of transportation than the shoe leather express from the big 3 game lines as well as changeling, taking their minor differences between systems and cobbles together a nice system that looks like it can work just fine for all of World of Darkness. For the game lines that the book covers it includes content for that game. Some old with some minor tweaks, some new. This alone is useful as it saves a player or ST from having to flip between a Mage Book, a Vampire Book, and a Werewolf book just to get everything straight.

The Meh: There isn't any one part of the book that we think is bad or "eh", but some missing content that does actively prevent us from saying "this is the definitive/all inclusive vehicles book". The things it lacks that prevent this would be (at least) the inclusion of the military grade vehicles in M20 Core. I understand the lack of including Air vehicles as this is a "Year Of The Road" product and that might not vibe too well, but if the author doesn't constrain themselves to that and includes the air vehicles as well that'd be swell (this seems like a "should be included" since we have a swell looking flying car treasure).

All in all, we would still call this a 5/5 product, but there is still room for either additions to this document, or an updated more comprehensive form of this book in the future to include the rest of vehicles/vehicle types not listed.

Thank you so much for the great review! I did you with including military vehicles, but decided I wanted to keep this close to the general day-to-day modes of transport (and wanted to spend that time on historic horse-drawn vehicles, which don’t seem to have been touched on anywhere.) That said I really want to explore military vehicles, and will definitely be looking to create an expansion to the groundwork this project as laid. Air travel is in a similar boat (and yes, nautical travel as well) and as I continue writing for the Vault I will try to add all these things into the PwGI line!

The product contains three pieces of black and white sketch art, to use in your games or products. The images are provided in jpg format. Not a bad product for the price. We recommend it.

Book of Fragments
Publisher: White Wolf
by DSC T. G. C. _. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 03/07/2022 09:00:25

The Book of Fragments introduces to nine new minor spheres of magic to use in your mage games. This product included concepts on how to incorporate these spheres into your games. We found the entire concept of minor sphere fanstastic. The author does an amazing job to presenting these minor spheres.

We strongly recommend this product, to all Mage players.

Roma by Night Liber II - Damnatio Memoriae is the long awaited companion to Roma by Night - Liber I: Damnati super Damnatos. This product contains all the history and geography to make Rome a full city setting for your Vampire Chronicle. It details various factions attempting to control city and take advantage of the disruption to the balance of power.

We strongly recommend this product and hope that it eventually will have an English translate.

Roma by Night - Liber I: Damnati super Damnatos
Publisher: White Wolf
by DSC T. G. C. _. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 03/07/2022 07:56:24

Roma by Night - Part 1 is an amazing book if you like NPCs. It details tons and tons of characters, each with a rich and extensive background. Its hard to judge this book, before Part 2 is released as it doesn't really stand on its on. This product does provide us with a plethora of characters to use to populate a setting, hopefully Part 2 will provide us with the details of that setting.

The Tabletop Gaming Club recommends this product just for the vast number of characters with rich backgrounds that are introduced. This product REALLY could use an English translation.

v20 Classical Age - Secrets of Unlife: the Revised Merits and Flaws Compendium
Publisher: White Wolf
by DSC T. G. C. _. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/11/2022 20:53:26

This supplement compiles all the merits and flaws that are recommended for a Chronicle set in the Classical Age as published in the other books of this line with several added, even if most of them are from other editions with a name change and minor text changes that reflect the setting and changes in the rules (if the merit comes from previous editions). The merits exclusive to this game line are appropiate and balanced enough. We really liked the idea of having one document that list all the merits and flaws one might need instead of having to hunt them down in an obscure sourcebook (or website).

As with all the books in this line the biggest problem lies in the english translation from the original portuguese text with several gramar errors, typos and mistranslations that make reading the book a problem; because one must stop constantly to decipher the meaning of most of the entries.

Date Added: 02/11/2022 20:51:20

This book serves gives us several tools to help in the writing of a Chronicle. The first chapter deals with the basis of the Chronicle, with alternate rules for character creation for different power levels, ideas for dealing with Gehenna, Thinbloods and running a chronicle through the different time periods. The second chapters chapters is about the themes, hooks, story structure and npc uses and management. The third chapters offers several plot that affect or alter the setting significantly and are very interesting even if they are not to everyone’s taste. The final chapters gives us new backgrounds and merits/flaws.

Bloody but Unbowed
Publisher: White Wolf
by DSC T. G. C. _. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/11/2022 20:48:00

This sourcebook contains a scenario that can be used as a jumpstart for a V20 chronicle or as a chapter of a running one. The scenario offers great flexibility as one can run it with stablished Kindred, ones embraced at the beggining of the scenario or even as mortals; with several routes open to the players depending on the players’ choices. The SPCs are well written and serve well to set the tone and events of the scenario. The story can be set in any city but using the domain of Rockford, Illinois is a good choice due to being close to the stablished Domains of Gary, Chicago and Milwaukee.

Fires of the Forge: Lore of the Malefactors
Publisher: White Wolf
by DSC T. G. C. _. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/11/2022 20:46:23

This sourcebooks gives us a character sheet for DtF (specifically malefactors ) with changes in abilitiess that reflect the changes brought by the 20th Anniversary gamelines. It also adapts the lores of the Third House to reflect this changes and streamlines the process of activation and difficulties for the rolls of each lore. The book is well written but with few typos and sometimes it needs to be a little clearer on the wording for example:

Lore of the Earth 3 - Mold Earth hight Torment version mentions that the poisoning last for a number of days equal to the Demon Torment but does not mention if the poisoning is for the materials affeced, living beings affected or both.

Lore of the Earth 4 - Earthquake does not give a duration of the low torment version of the power.

There is a mistake in the drowning and suffocation sidebar: “A demon can’t this damage until she can breathe again” I think the sentence is missing the Word “heal”

Lore of Paths 5 – Warp Path keeps the same mistakes from the version in The Corebook for Demon: It keeps the rules from the level 4 power about failures during the extended roll to “seal” a lenghty path, it sohuld be “alter” and the texts about making the effect permaanent keeps the “it or can be made” typo.

Despite this it is a great book that can be used in tandem with the Corebook for Demon to integrate the Fallen into a chronicle for the lines with a 20th Anniversary Edition or play a Demon one with better systems.

Despite this it is a great book

First Team Dossier: Blackglass, Null & Associates
Publisher: White Wolf
by DSC T. G. C. _. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/31/2022 19:46:19

This Dossier presents a First Team that focuses in protecting personnel of interest to Pentex, and the book writes several uses for them in a series of official Pentex documents. The members of the First Team are interesting (even if a few of them are extremely powerful) and the author explains very well the process used to built them (with page and book references for the systems, templates and powers used). We really liked the minor references to other parts of the World of Darkness and the way the author embraces the morbid humor of books that deal with Pentex and Fomori.

Signatures 2: Outcasts & Rebels
Publisher: White Wolf

Date Added: 01/31/2022 11:41:09

Much like the previous sourcebook in this line, we get fifth edition character sheets for thirteen well stablished vampires. In this case, They are for Vampires that tend to operate outside/against their clan or the sect divide. The art is great and the stats for the characters feel appropiate (with some liberties taken due to lack of official sheets/missing info for some of them or changes in game mechanics). Be aware that several of the characters presented are very poweful or old so that might limit their use in your chronicle.

Signatures: Characters updated to V5
Publisher: White Wolf
by DSC T. G. C. _. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/31/2022 11:39:30

This supplements presents a character sheet and a portrait of each signature character from the revised era, adapting them to the V5 rule set. The art for each character is great and the conversion to V5 is good (some liberties are taken due to systems introduced in Fifth Edition, for example those with Disciplines that became Amalgams) with only a minor mistake (Jan Pieterzoon is missing two powers for his Fortitude discipline). Instead of getting a bio of each character we get a link for their White Wolf Wiki entry and this might be a problem due to the nature of a Wiki in general. A useful book if one wants to incorporate this characters into an existing chronicle.

A Waste of Good Blood...
Publisher: White Wolf
by DSC T. G. C. _. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/31/2022 09:27:51

This sourcebooks adds options for those interesting in the Duskborns and Caitiff and rules for using Revenants and Dhampirs. The new options for the Thin-blooded are interesting and the new factions are a great addition either as player options or purey as antagonists. The sections dealing with the Caitiff does a good job explaining their condition and the role they play in Kindred society. We loved the sections dedicated to the Panders and the Stoneman. The new predator types are good and the amalgams bring back a few familiar powers from previous editions. The rules for revenants are interesting and different enough form the ghoul template to make them their own thing. We get descriptions for 6 ghoul families but it should be easy enogh to adapt the rest to the system in this book. The chapter dediacated to Dhampirs paints a good picture of the challenges inherent to their nature and the rules do a good job at presenting them as a different kind of supernatural being. The Loresheets are interesting, but the texts for the Revenan tones is the same as their description in the chapter dealing with them and we don’t get one for the Ducheski. A solid book for those looking to play/use these Kindred and Half-mortals in their chronicle.
