Unfortunately, it was not quite perfect. For example, the editing was done poorly in some places. Misspelled words should never make it into a publication. The other reviewer is right, as well, about the art. Much of it is too dark to make anything useful out. I like the trend away from the lame cartoony art, but the noir is not much better.

Good for a storyteller, probably extraneous for others.

Wanna really play up the Sabbat/Camarilla conflict?   August 18, 2001

This book really helps to give a storyteller ideas about what steps the Camarilla and tbe Sabbat take when either side decides to beseige and take a city. While much of it would seem logical, White Wolf goes into some depth here, and examines all sides of any potential conflict: Camarilla, Sabbat, Anarchs, Independent clans... And it looks at what they do when they are defending or attacking.

Taken side by side with "Gilded Cage" this book helps to redefine Vampire: The Masquerade away from the brutal ultra-violence and more into the environmental-spanning manipulations necessary to run a political campaign.

Some of the graphics (one or two full-page ones, and most of the NPC templates) are way too dark, though (I can barely see any detail). But beyond that, there's definitely something for everyone here.
