This review is from: The Hunters Hunted: The Battle is Joined (Vampire The Masquerade) (Paperback)

This book is of major importance for every Hunters-Chronicle. It begins with a nice short-story you can use as a chronicle, followed by different methods and approaches to hunt vampires. You might be a Hunter by plain accident or by profession, anyway the book provides background information for you and/or your hunters organisation. What is known about supernatural beings? How to fight them? Etc. It contains new Merits&Flaws for mortals, some Thaumaturgy spells, psychic abilities and True Faith (though the latter is a bit too powerful in my opinion). It usually provides good overviews on all the various concepts. Nothing to reprove. Recommended for players and storytellers alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful for the collector or for short chronicles, December 23, 2009

This review is from: The Hunters Hunted: The Battle is Joined (Vampire The Masquerade) (Paperback)

Although in the product information provided by Amazon states that this book is from 1995, the first edition was published in 1992. It was one of the first Vampire the Masquerade products. In it, we already find some information about several trademark signature organizations like the Society of Leopold, the Arcanum or the Special Affair Division of FBI. As most know, WW published supplements detailing all those organizations; so the material is naturally outdated...but in 1992 it was an essential book used in many campaigns, so it is an interesting collectors item.

We must also remenber that many gamers don't use or buy all supplements. For those that don't want to invest a lot of time and money can use this book to run a Hunters chronicle or to flesh out interesting enemies.

In this book you will also find description of the bloodline Children of Osiris (and their discipline Bardo), Numina powers (including the powerfulls Clairvoyance and faith), spells (specific for the hunter), motives and vampire hunting techniques.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very general, March 31, 1999

This review is from: The Hunters Hunted: The Battle is Joined (Vampire The Masquerade) (Paperback)

This book is not that bad. As another review said, it was written in the early stages of the other White Wolf games, so theres a lot of info thats not that meaningful anymore. What it is good as it as provoking your imagination to make your own Hunter characters. After all this is a Storyteller game, so it makes sense to make your own character using broad concepts to flesh it out. Overall, its just ok but not horrible.
