This review is from: Aberrant: Teragen (Paperback)

Of all the Aberrant supplements on the shelf, this one stands out as the best. Although lacking in statistics for the prominent Teragen leaders, something the makers of Aberrent seem hesitant to reveal in the other sup's as well, the rich detail of the inner workings of the Teragen and the philosophies that guide them make this an interesting read.

Using the universal archetype's of Marvel, Monster and Portent, the Teragen are potentially the most powerful and dangerous faction in the Aberrant setting, and also the most unpredictable. Within the sourcebook we discover just how inhuman and fragmented the Teragen is as an organization. We also find that these are more than inhuman monsters, they are philosopher gods looking for their place in the world, sometimes at the expence of their human identities.

The text is presented in a sympathetic light and the authors remind the reader that this is not just a handbook for making a villain, because no one sees themselves as being evil. In the world of Aberrant, there is no black and white only one thick shade of grey.

This review is from: Aberrant: Teragen (Paperback)

Project: Utopia would like to paint all other factions as evil, dangerous or both. The majority of the populous in 2008 believes them, but you are of the One Race. You know the world for what it really is. Aberrant: Teragen turns thsi conflict from balck and white to shades of gray. Rather than a series of bland stereotypes a la Utopia's spin doctors, you see the philosophy of Teras for what it really is. This book sports important information on the Teragen movement, history, and names key players, as well as pre-made characters for an easy start campaign. A sample story is also included, and some new powers are put at your disposal. While technically not essential, Aberrant: Teragen is a phenomenally useful book, especially if you are a Storyteller who doesn't always play the hero's side, or likes to add shades of gray. This is probably the best supplement for another great game courtesy of White Wolf games.

This is the book you have to buy in addition to the rules set. What the Player's Guide to the Sabbat made for Vampire this book does for Aberrant. If you are new to the White Wof line of games, then you need the Aberrant rules to begin with, this book makes a nice addition because it delves into the philosophy behind the pseudo bad guys of the system. However is not just a book with rough sketches about the all powerful evil leader and his minion, it also gives a good scope on what are the reasons for these guys that justifies all the acts of terrorism they are charged with. If you are only planning to buy one book to help you with the system, this is the best so far
