The much awaited Clanbook for the Ventrue was every bit as wonderful and full of the needed information that I had anticipated. The Ventrue being a complex character to play in the Masquerade every bit of information is helpfull. The clan is submerged in the politics and social aspects of the kindred life and this book shed much light on many areas. I recomend this book to anyone interested in roleplaying a Ventrue and to anyone who participates in the Masquerade.

The lineage of the Ventrue Clan is a long one, and the staggering amount of power the clan has achieved clearly stems from this illustrious history. Still, while the history offered in this book is invaluable to a good storyteller, the information is presented in a dry and uninteresting fashion. What's more, too much attention is paid to the clan's history and not enough to it's present or future. Still, one of the best thought through of the clanbooks.

My favorite clan is the Blue Bloods, so I naturally got this clan book at the first oppurtunity. I really liked the background material and info on how to work politics, but I felt it needed something that would give a Ventrue player an extra edge - new powers or something. Aside from that one flaw, I liked everything, including the character templates and important Ventrue. Kudos for WW!

This Clan-book completely misses the point, we already know the Ventrue are the money-makers of the Camarilla. What we wanted from a Clan-book was what was not obvious, the secrets of the Clan, the Outcasts, etc. What we got was useless drivel and quite frankly a waste of money and time.

This sourcebook provides more background material than any of the others in the series but very little in the way of substantial material. You will find useful information on Ventrue attitudes and history. However unlike other installments of the Clanbook series this book offers no special advantage to the Ventrue. Also missing is any useful guidelines on handling a Ventrue's power structure.

I had previously only played a Malky, so when a friend gave me this book, I was intrigued. Lots of history, ideas for how to play, and other goodies make this a real treat. If you wanna have lots of fun in this game, be a Ventrue. Allow the snob out!

For all of you just starting out this book covers many of the must know areas, but don't fool yours self and think that it will give you any grate insight to a very close mouth society. The innermost workings and structure of the Clan are almost impossible to understand, without being well placed in a developed city. Many a Prince is only a happy target placed there to give others freedom to move with out being seen until it is far to late. Power and nobility are our birthright none shall change this.
