 At last, a deeper look June 29, 2000
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
The new Nosferatu Clanbook takes a new and novel approach by not presenting Nosferatu as being the be-all and end-all clan of Vampires. Taking a slightly more realistic look at the clan, it better illustrates their strengths and weaknesses then many of the books which have preceded it. While I personally find much of the charm in the book is to be found "between the lines", this may grate on some readers who would prefer outright statements of fact rather then having to deduce information by what is said and what is not. The information on Nosferatu living spaces (sewers throughout the ages) and social structure was much needed, though admittedly dry. On the whole, the clanbook is a valuable commodity to a storyteller or role-players, but is likely to be of little interest to those simply looking for new disciplines and methods to make yet another combat monster.
 More rich details then any other clanbook. June 21, 1999

What can I say, the Nosferatu clanbook is more detailed then any other book. Most clanbooks leave the reader with questions... not the Nos! Backgrounds, unique flaws, strange stories, all are there. Take that Toreador. I've read Toreador, Brujah, Malkavian, and Gangrel clanbooks, and these SEWER RATS were the most interesting of the bunch. To think one would WANT to live forever as a Nosferatu. After reading this book, who knows...

The World of the Vampire is not complete without the unsung leaders of the Undead, the Nosferatu. Some say they are the only real Vampires left, other say they are nothing but Sewer Rats. With this book you'll get to know them inside, out, upside, down, and back to front. The Players Book gives you a brief overview of this clan, this book dives right in, and gives you the real scoop on playing a Nos. This book is a must for Table-Top Vampire Players & Mind's Eye Theater Live-Action Role Players. Everything from History of the Clan to new Merits & Flaws and more. Buy it, Read it, Play it.
 Reading Material for Characters with Sewer Lore of 5 May 6, 2000
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
It starts out well, giving the story of their antediluvian's embrace from a new perspective, some ties to the Book of Nod, and an interesting first person pov of a nos neonate's embrace. (here comes the big but) BUT, the next third of the book talks about little other than nosferatu angst and the history of sewers as we know them. I honestly lost count of how many times I had to coerce myself to continue reading. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy almost everything White Wolf produces for their World of Darkness line (specifically for Vampire the Masquerade), but this book, imho, fell short of what they were reaching for. I did take notice that Justin Achilli did not put his name in the cast or credits (a note for WW fans, Achilli gets his name in almost all of the current Vampire releases) did he not want to get any blame for this piece? The redeeming part of the book (again imho) were the new nosferatu merits and flaws as well as the new nos templates, but as Achilli has been quoted as saying (in Children of the Night) "And I hate them [Merits and Flaws]". So I don't think even the vaunted head developer of Vampire the Masquerade wanted his name on the book.
The best Clanbook I've read. September 9, 2003

I think any VtM player is going to be a bit bias when it comes to favorite clans and such with their reviewing of the splat books, but to be honest this book made me more interested in the clan while I kind of overlooked them prior. The history is well written and is still laced with mystery for your troupes storyteller to weave in his own personal ideas and fun story twists. The concept character templates in the back are actually fun and well thought out. I find VtM in better hands with Justin Achilli. This book is a good example of why I feel that way.
