More About the Author

Testing, testing. Is this thing on?

*ahem*

Anyway, hi there and welcome to my Amazon.com page. I'm a writer and video game designer, currently residing in Durham, North Carolina and working for Red Storm Entertainment. Officially, my title is Central Clancy Writer, which means I work on many of the Tom Clancy licensed video games, as well as other titles like Might & Magic and Far Cry. In my professional capacity, I fulfill a variety of roles - script doctor, writer, designer, design manager - you name it.

By night, I write horror fiction. My first publication was a paper in the academic journal Lovecraft Studies, and since then I've had four novels, one novella, and a handful of short stories published. Most of what I right seems to fall into a sort of transplanted Southern Gothic, hence the name of my website - http://www.snowbirdgothic.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark Kingdom of Jade(Wraith), May 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dark Kingdom of Jade (Wraith: The Oblivion/World of Darkness) (Paperback)

This book is one among the better books in the White Wolf's Eastern World of Darkness setting, in my belief it is right next to Kindred of the East. Set in the Dark Kingdom of Jade with its unique family system, eastern philosophies and honor systems, the book greatly expands and completes the view of the Eastern world of Darkness. I find the Dark Kingdom of Jade setting more better related to the idea of the Chinese underworld (less so than the Japanese and Buddhist) than say the somewhat boring and flawed Dark Kingdom of Iron, Stygia in the main Wraith game. I recomend that you get this supplement if you really like the Kindred of the East as it will greatly expand the Eastern World of Darkness. On the downside of the game, they're certain things within the game that doesn't seem to fit. It is somewhat difficult to explain but the world is just somewhat more restricted and the idea of free adventure is somwhat stunted by the feeling of political games between the wraiths. But one thing is true though, the Eastern underworld is much more horryfying than the western one.

This review is from: Dark Kingdom of Jade (Wraith: The Oblivion/World of Darkness) (Paperback)

If you are running a Kindred of the East campaign, this is an somewhat essential book. Every character fought to free themselves from this realm in the first place, and many may risk a trip back there. So you need a bit more knowledge of the ghosts for the East.

You will still be left with a certain amount of enigma after reading this however. That's natural with these one shot books printed for KoE. It's more of a supplement than a full blown source book, and that was all it was intended to be. You get some interesting information on the structure of politics and some teasers on what drives the realm as a whole, just like in the dharma books. It's just not broken down for as much detail as they are.

It's worth the read, if you can find a copy.
