No, it is not for the nervous or the easily offended. And yes it has possibly the grossest, most degenerate illustration in it that I would never want my mother to see. HOWEVER, this is still the very best book that I have seen in the "By Night" series. Yes, many of these vampires are sick, sick puppies even by White Wolf standards but guess what: THERE ARE WORSE THINGS OUT THERE THAN THEM! Mysterious, mysterious and very, very dark things. And there are mysterious, mysterious and very, very dark vampires here to whom it falls to combat them. Some of the packs- the Shepards, the Librarians and even the (relatively wholesome) Navigators- sound like worlds unto themselves. The Shepards even have their own twistedly mystical Path of Enlightenment, unique to this supplement. There is a very original vampiric society in this book that gives the Sabbat a whole new dimension. Even if you can't imagine your campaign ever getting to Montreal, this supplement is a must have if you want ideas for a truly Gothic atmosphere (as long as you are over 18, of course!) One drawback: the book uses the old virtues for Sabbat characters- but a creative GM can adapt. (Used to it by now, right?) Utterly fascinating! And here I thought I was a good person....
