 excellent bloodlines supplement September 3, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this book primarily for one reason, the Sangiovanni Bloodline. Being that in old world of darkness the Giovanni were one of my favorite clans I wanted to see how they were treated in the NEW world of darkness. I have to say, this is the only bloodlines book I've bought and I love it (I've read or borrowed the others, but never felt compelled to buy them). It has taken some of the old clans and re-invented them as bloodlines that make the originals seem like kiddie vamps. This book gives you the following bloodlines:
The Agonistes (Mekhet historians and keepers of memories of elders)
The Baddacelli (blind Nosferatu monsters of purest night)
The Duchagne (sensual Daeva power climbers)
The Noctuku (Nosferatu monsters who hunt the kindred)
The Rotgrafen (Ventrue sea explorers and voyagers)
The Sangiovanni (incestous, inbred necromancers of the undead)
The Taifa (Iberio-arabic gangrel hunters)
California Xiao (eastern Daeva bloodline)
Taipan Xiao (eastern Deava bloodline)
The Yagnatta (Russian Nosferatu bloodline)
Also a treatment of bloodlines in the Vampire Requiem game.
Overall I think this is the best bloodline book published yet.
 A Failed Experiment January 30, 2008

I wanted to like this book. I really did. When I heard the publisher's gimmick -- that it would let fans write up those bloodlines the game's authors introduced in the corebook -- I crossed my fingers. I knew that the possibility existed for either a landmark RPG supplement or one of the bigger disasters in White Wolf publishing history. Unfortunately, what we got is closer to the latter than the former. Much closer.
Some of the individual ideas are intriguing, but I'm left wondering what the authors who actually created these bloodlines had in mind when they created them. It's clear that nobody involved with this effort so much as consulted the creators, and I think it's evident that the book suffered greatly for it. The corebook had been out for over three years by the time this book hit stores, and for those who were already working with their own ideas of what these bloodlines might be like, my advice is to take a pass on this book and continue using what you've been working with. You won't be missing much.
 Good writing, intriguing themes April 10, 2008

This is a great supplement. I am a fan of the Bloodlines books,and looked forward to reading this for that reason, but also because it is written by fan submissions chosen from a writing competition. I was very pleased with the writing and felt it to be on par with the other books in the series, as well as the entire game setting. I found it to be very cohesive, and didn't seem as though written by the many different authors that in fact did contribute. As far as content, the intriguing nature of most of the Bloodlines generally appealed to me, including a few I found particularly fascinating, such as the necromancers. Recommended for fans of the series and the setting itself.
