This review is from: Killing Streets (Paperback)

The gritty underbelly of the streets of the Middle Kingdom is always something that looms just below the supernatural feeling most Kindred of the East games have. Forget the fact that your characters can walk up walls, create hurricanes, and walk into the Umbra. Get to the reality of the game, the true settings of a chronicle being run in Asian cities. Crime, drugs, prostitution, white-slavery, sweat-shops,these and more make up the real cities at night. Triad and Yakuza protection rackets, smuggling rings, BDSM shops, those are the Scalet Screens almost every wu, young and old, run from the shadows. It doesn't get any more real than the context of Killing Streets. Crime, decrepitude of living, the squallor outside of the glorified cities, the hopelessness in the slums of the more rural areas of China, the gangs that own the streets, the ever-so-fatal downward spiral that draws in the forces of Yomi so close, that the Wall is dissolved and Hell leaks onto Earth -- a broken Mirror is created, a sign that the Sixth Age is nigh upon the heads of the Devil-Tigers and the other followers of Dharmic enlightenment. A must-buy indeed.
