Book Description

Promethean November 29, 2006
"I've watched you ever since the day I was made.
Watched you love, watched you laugh, watched you kill and die.
You're perfect, even though you don't know it. Perfectly wonderful.
Perfectly awful.
Perfectly human.
I've been watching, trying to figure you out.
Trying to figure out how to be you.
I know more about you than you do.
I know more about you than I do about myself."
-The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, Galateid

It's A Cold World

The Pilgrimage is a long and lonely road, but every Promethean must walk it. The Created do not come into the world knowing what steps to take upon this road. They must learn from others of their kind, from their creators and from painful experience. Over time, they might unlock the secrets of their humours, changing their bodies to better survive a world that shuns them. But every discovery leads only to further uncertainty, and all the Created can do is press on, led by the promise of Mortality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strange Alchemies, June 4, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Promethean Strange Alchemies (Hardcover)
For players and storytellers of Promethean: The Created, White Wolf's most underrated World of Darkness series, Strange Alchemies is a must-have if you want or need new Bestowments and Transmutations, a deeper look at the Lineages and Refinements, plus essays from various developers on things from Human Experience (Living and doing things as a human) to discovering the world around them for the Player Characters. Considering that Promethean was a limited series of only five books (The core book and four supplements), Strange Alchemies should definitely round out your P:tC collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, but who plays this game?, January 19, 2007
By 
A. LoneFight (Charlotte, N.C.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Promethean Strange Alchemies (Hardcover)
These Promethean books are well written and very mature. They seem to be the darkest books in the World of Darkness. While I greatly enjoyed reading them, I have to wonder who is playing this game? You can make a real powerhouse character, one that few if any of the other supernatural beings could take down, but the downsides of being so hated and having such a miserable existence seems to out weight any benefit. The opening story is about one of the "beautiful" Prometheans who wants love so much from the object of her affection, kissing and hitting are the same thing to her. I can't imagine role-playing that out with my friends. This is certainly not a game for children and even some adults will find it too intense. But if you like it the main Promethean book, give Strange Alchemies a try.
