Product Description

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Vampires are loath to risk their unlives by relocating to new cities. Blood is in scarce supply, werewolves haunt the wilds, and newcomers may break rules upon arrival that they never knew existed. Still, some vampires put the entire Requiem on the line for a taste of the freedom that the road offers - while others do it to escape their past.

So Let's Get the Hell Out of Here

A guide to survival outside protected cities, Nomads offers vampires a chance to leave their old domains behind and begin a new Requiem, or to simply go abroad and return home to the evils they know all too well. Begin a new chronicle or take an old one on the road, abandoning characters' greatest achievements and most deadly failures. Hardcover.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great specialized book for the new Vampire, January 15, 2006

By	Ward Hoelscher (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is an ideal resource for storytellers and players looking to play a "road game" of Requiem. It's got a lot of detail on why specific covenants would send their members on the road, the roles that various clans play in road coteries, specifics on concerns that vampires would face on the road, devotions, Cruac rituals, Theban sorcery, a sample of road antagonists or allies (including the oft-mentioned Unholy!) and a sample setting, Route 666.

All in all, a great book, though honestly a bit heavily priced for such a thin book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor excuse for a book..., March 27, 2009

By	A. E. Terry - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book reads more like a prototype to what White Wolf was aiming to do with Midnight Roads. And to be honest, if you want a book detailing taking your game on the road, get that one instead of Nomads.

About the only draw is the new Powers and Devotions.

Otherwise the rest of the book is a waste and a hardcover module SAS for the ST who saw that the Chicago setting book was coming and decided to move their game from New Orleans to there.

For me, the only saving grace to this book is having bought it used. Otherwise I'd complain about it being over priced with so few pages.
