Only one thing stands between this book and that fifth star: a good opening story. Otherwise the book reads like a conspiracy theorist's worst nightmare come true. All you need is this and the main rule book for Werewolf, Vampire, or Mage, and you're ready to make federal gov't sponsored hunters galore.

Included are neat new backgrounds(rank, favors, backers, and equipment) along with some new numina. Pyrokinesis looks like it'll be a blast(excuse the pun). Many gov't agencies are detailed, and you'd be surprised by how little they know about the supernatural. So this game is more about discovery than just killing monsters, although there's plenty of room for that too.

The World of Darkness's sixth standalone game Hunter:The Reckoning debuts this year, so this sourcebook may soon see a jump in demand. All wannabe gov't hunters out there(you know who you are)had better beat the rush and buy this book soon.

Project Twilight is great for anyone who wants to cross Vampire or Werewolf with government agencies. It gives in depth source for playing a para-intellegence agent, hunting the super natural. It contains information on the postion of the FBI, CDC, NSA & CIA within White Wolf's world of darkness...

In my opinion, a must for serious RPG'ers

I am a fairly new inductee into the World of Darkness. I really enjoy modern settings and the last one I took part in was Call of Cthulhu. This book brought back memories! If you are into the modern setting then this book should be considered a must have. It goes into pretty good detail about the FBI, CIA, and NSA as well as covers a bit of info about less secretive groups like loval law enforcement and the Centers for Disease Control. Just reading this book gave me lots and LOTS of ideas for a campaign. In the back there is also included a fairly well written scenario which will give you a feel for how government agents might be run. As I said before, it has a very cool Cthulhuesque quality. The only thing I feel is lacking is a Sanity roll... but then again, this ain't Cthulhu.

Conspiracy all over the world. Project Twilight pictures govt. agencies, first of all FBI, NSA and CIA, hunting vampires, werewolves and other supernatural beings. The organisations are described in detail. Who knows what? Whom is influenced by what? What factions do exist within the agencies? What are the goals of mortal hunters? How is their interaction? What equipment and tools do they use? Etc.
However, I would suppose most hunters don't know that much about supernaturals as mentioned in the book, unless they had obvious personal contact. They know something is strange and they are the ones to discover it. But who sane human believes in vampires? "Maybe they are aliens or have some new bio-technical inventions" would be first explanations.
If you always knew the true power of the world are not the governments but lies in hands behind the curtain, this book is what you want.

You sit in a cramped and cluttered office in the corner of the basement of the FBI offices of Somewhereville, USA. Your reports go to a shadowy supervizor at the J Edgar Hoover building in Washington DC. Odd news clippings, unsolved murders of a peculiar modus operandi, interrogations of drugged out or psychotic suspects....

Then a few days later two agents from "The Office" call. They have plain IDs and a phone call during their knock has informed you to give them anything they need. They are serious, all business and ask the weirdest questions.

OP Project Twilight is the government agent hunter for Werewolf The Apocalypse/World of Darkness. A sort of realistic MIB as it were.

Is your party of shapeshifters tired of furring out for a little? Maybe you want to turn the tables on their furry raging behinds? Unleash Operation Twilight agents upon them.

These are the rules to create government sponsored agents fighting the 'good' fight against the night terrors of werewolves and vampires. In some ways it's a sister suppliment/adjuct to The Hunters Hunted. The character creation is mostly spot on, although due to the 'nature' of the characters area of operations there are a few soft areas giving a GM/Storyteller a good bit they can play around with. (I personally ran a Twilight/Hunters campaign with the agents being a self-created government agency with wide authorities in various departments of Federal law enforcement agencies and not a suggested FBI or NSA base)

The glaring omission in my opinion was in the 'opposition' organizations. (ie The Vatican, etc) Whether this was left out for a 3rd suppliment or to give the GM/Storyteller freedom,I do not know. Anyhow, there is very little written about these other organizations in this book. In someways that isn't a detraction as the slant of this is of course the G-man hunter, but as a Storyteller, I would have loved a bit more for spice.
