One of the best 3rd Edition BooksMarch 31, 2003 6 out of 13 found this review helpful
Well I have to say this book definitely puts the Black Hand into a new light; the sect (or subsect) is just as mysterious as the Inconnu to many and this book really fixes the mistakes 2nd edition made. It clarifies all of the True Hand/Severed Hand etc.. stuff that 2nd Edition tried to confuse us with; alot of good information is given but it's only essential if you play a Black Hand in Tabletop or on a MU* (Mush/MUX etc..).
If you enjoy reading or collecting the various books or even playing the Pcs I'd say buy this book
DisappointingOctober 21, 2004 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
As I approached ending my story of six summers I wanted to get the Black Hand and others involved, give the players, all fairly powerful by now, some intense challenges. However while this book gave information on the types of Kindred who run in this secret groups it didn't really give me much guidance in creating NPCs. No big list of sample characters or detailed instructions on how to create them. I was disappointed -- I could have made those NPCs without the book frankly.
