I'm getting flashes of the Black Knight from Monty Python at this point. ...

The weirdest thing for me is that the Cam deal for the Lasombra is exactly the deal you'd offer if your intent was to utterly destroy the Lasombra as a Clan. A very large proportion of them have departed to die in hopeless battle, the Sabbat is essentially gone, they are at their lowest ebb, in order to acheive " safe " harbour they need to destroy the remaining Lasombra more powerful than them and when they've done this the less than a third of them that remain are now ensconced within the Camarilla in subordination without support or resources where they can be crushed essentially...

Ok.....so what I'm getting from CT and co are...."Because the writers wrote the Lasombra into a corner they are fucked and fans of them should be grateful that the writers didn't make them more fucked. Here is a way they can be slightly less fucked but still way more fucked than they were before they were fucked over. Why aren't you people happy?"

Paraphrased obviously.

How easy is it to read with no prerequisite knowledge? Hard to judge, I found it very easy but that is with 20-ish years of CtD under my belt.....my newer players haven't had any real trouble though.


Are there certain sections that make sense to read out of order? Not particularly.

Will my Mage experience make certain sections easier or unnecessary to read over? Well you know the basics of the Storyteller System so you should be able to breeze through that.

Is a cover to cover read necessary for this thing? Not particularly.....I mean theres no reason...

Hunters Entertainment who were originally developing W5 had folks like James Sambrano, Cat Evans and B. Dave on the writing team.....the internal World of Darkness writing team working on it now seems to be far less diverse from the few scraps of info we have....

Thats pretty much only true for central mainland China where the Quincunx kills anyone who encroaches including other Hungry Dead; there are Cainite ' movie vamps' ( feels weird calling them traditional vamps when most eastern european folkloric vamps are more Hungry Dead like in nature.) all throughout Asia. Specifically large numbers are noted as existing throughout Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and many other countries....
