WW did it again. They came out with yet another gaming clanbook that just plain ROCKS. It's been said before that WW was losing it's touch but I must disagree...this is a must have for anyone who plays the game and especially those that play sabbat or Lasombra..It takes you into the world of the sabbat and the Lasombra. It doesn't touch on the antitribu but why should it? After all the main game resources even point out that in the WoD there are not many anti's of the clan...It's a great resource for young players and even those who have been around will enjoy reading this story...it takes you inside the mind of the Keepers and their shadows...what evil lurks? I urge you to read this chronicle and tell me just how frightened of the shadows you become..

This is one of the first clanbooks I read. It is also one of the most revealing. While the Lasombra are initially made to be a dangerous, yet one dimensional foe, this book clearly shows their true powers.

This is a excellent sourcebook, but its lack of comments in the Lasombra Antitribu keeps it from achiving 5 stars. At least, WW has corrected it by including that description in the new Guide to the Camarilla.

an interesting take on the lasombra, nothing really intriguing has been revealed except for their rivalry with the Tzimisce and an interesting take on their manipulation of the Sabbat.

Hahaha...Poor damned souls. Do you really think we are interested in that petty Jyhad of yours? You, that fetid pigsty called Camarilla, are so proud of what you have done... Hiding themselves from your true nature, lying to yourselves and to the world... But that is what we could expect from you, isn't it?
While you kill each other all over, we plan our major conquest: the stars!

Can't even trust them shadows when ya around'em. That's what some Nosferatu friend of mine used to say. Died of a Shroud of Night, poor wretch. And that Assamite dude back at the Tremere clan book, hey, he's just as bad, don't believe anything else. He poses as a Lasombra at every chance. Boy, he's got it, man ! He can stalk you in the shadows like few Lasombra I've seen. Better keep quiet. Well, anyway, Lasombra are not exactly what I would call a fallen angel, although some of them refer as that to them. Don't get me wrong, they ain't devils either, not half as bad and mad as the Baali, but, you know, kinda like not the people you wanna hang around with the whole time. You wouldn't wanna end up as some midnight snack, ya know... The good thing about the Camarilla is that they abolish sucking your brother. Good thing about the Sabbath: You know they will. Keep about a jaw's space between you and the Lasombra next table, and you should be able to have your drink in peace. As soon as you step outside, though..... the Marquis, vampire hunter and leech himself

All I have to say about the Lasombra is that they are all a bunch of self-righteous idiots who think they are god's gift to the Sabbat. Every word you read of this book makes you want to vomit! I can't believe such arogence exists ouside of clan Tzimisce, I mean, DAMN! Not even the TREMERE are that self-absorbed. Stupider than the do-boys (akashic brotherhood), reading this book made me a worse person. Just to prove how terrible a person I am after reading this SH*T, I'm goin to play a Lasombra in the next chronicle I'm in!
