This is an excellent book for Tremere players. Being potentially the most powerful clan requires careful adjudication both player and storyteller alike to keep them in check. This is done through the clan weakness (clan bondage). The detailed description of the clan structure, hierarchy and goals assists storytellers in preventing tremere players from dominating the game while providing appropriate challenges for the player at the same time.

I would have liked to have seen more on the gargoyles and homonculi (doesnt every tremere players want a gaggle of gargoyles at their beck and call). More on the summoning and control of demons etc would have been useful as well. It fits in with the tremere "we take risks to achieve power" mentality that led them to the formation of a clan as a whole.

Overall a very good piece of work. Whith the guide to the camarilla and this book, a tremere player has everything they need to develop a very well rounded, appropriate charater.

Unfortunately, this clanbook, even at the time it was published, lacked detail and was not possessed of the highest production values - as Dragon magazine once put it, White Wolf took a long time passing Apprentice rank in the Sphere of Proofreading. However, it's not entirely without interest - still, if you're looking at this in 2003, you needn't even get it a second look, your dollars should go to Blood Magic (supreme!), House of Tremere (respectable), the new clanbook (not half bad), or Blood Sacrifice (unknown to me, but not really about Tremere).

I thought it was well writen book it had a lot of good info for playing what is in my humble opinion the best clan of the Kindred. It could have included more about the history of the Tremere {EG:Why Tremere chose Saulot to commit Amaranth upon}, But other then that it was a great Book and for any Serious Vampire The Masquerade player it is a must.

If you are a Tremere Player or you want to be this boo could help you in perform your character better. It can mentalize you in Tremere history and Hierarchy Traditions. The Character Examples are really complete and they could be useful for Narrators and Players either. However I expected more about Circles of Mistery, Homunculi and Gargoyles. Well, perfection is sometimes unreachable...

Wonderful condition! the description said there was a tear on the cover but its just a crease! loved it! would order again!

Tremere are not the easiest of VtM clans to play but, provided you have a story teller and character player whom are up to the task it can be very fulfilling. If you're looking for a challenge as a VtM player then Tremere would give you all that you ask and more, to be blunt, the very opposite of Brujah characters as far as organization and discipline.

I am a Tremere myself. This book had an excellent section on the history of our clan as well as information on gargoyles and the other servants used by the Tremere. The new rituals were useful as well. It could have had some new thaumaturgy paths. The Tremere truly are the next step in Cainite evolution.

I have every single VtM and VtDA book that WW has ever made. And in my opinion, Tremere: The Price of Eternity is by far the greatest book. It includes detailed information about the clan Tremere. Tells about its history throughly, talks about the gargoyals, and many many other things. If you play a Tremere, you must have this book. In fact, even if you don't, you should get this book to get a wonderful insight into the greatest clan in existence.

Please, don't even get me started on these "I'm so great because I think I know magick" [insert vulgar insult here]'s! I only wish I could give this book a star with all the points rubbed off!

The calnbook includes 10 sample chartacters for storyteller use and player use. It includes the history of the Tremere and useful information about the structure of the Tremere. It also includes some new Rituals and Paths. It also adds some detaill on servants that Tremere has made of the ages.
