4.0 out of 5 stars More than anarchists, Carthians embrace human progress in all its forms., September 13, 2006

By	C. Richeson "CWRicheson" (Lexington, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Carthians presents extended information on one of the five major political factions presented in Vampire: The Requiem. A lengthy discussion of what Carthians are like, how their diverse political experiments function, and what happens when those experiments fail is presented. New game mechanics including Bloodlines, Disciplines, Devotions, and a covenant specific ability called Carthian Law are all included as well.

If you like the idea of the Carthian Movement, an idea focused around taking the best of human thought and applying it to vampiric life, but wanted more information then this is the product for you. This product provides a full description of the movement including subfactions, major beliefs, and interrelationships with the rest of the vampiric world. While many new mechanics are added to support this group the vast majority of the book is a flavorful presentation of the Carthians that creates an interesting, believable organization.

3.0 out of 5 stars Carthians Review, March 27, 2009

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

Carthians were the one covenant of Requiem that's baffled me. And they still do to a point. Least with their Covenant book you get a more solid idea of who and what they are. With always experimenting and coming up with new ideas on how to govern Kindred Society. The book does alright providing new Carthian centered merits, bloodlines and disciplines to tailor a character. Least I was able to walk away with a better grasp for running Carthians.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must, November 22, 2008

By	E. B. R. Filho (Fortaleza, Brasil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

So, first review. As a Storyteller and Player I just see all faction book as necessary. The book on Carthian Mov. is a must, and, indeed, the VtR core do not show satisfactory texts on the covenants. Of course we dont a need a book this weight to describe any covenant, but its worth the price.
