Format:Paperback
I'm new to roleplaying, and this was actually birthday present to me. "Vampire" RolePaying is very stylised, and this clanbook made interesting addditional reading for me (additional to the main players guide.) As a new player, it really helped me understand and appreciate some of the nuances involved in the world of "White Wolf" products. I was a little dissapointed with the artwork, which is nowhere, near as good as the graphics in the main Players guide, but if you're really into playing a Gangrel character, this book does give some insight into how and why the Gangrel interact with the Lupines (Werewolfs to use the laymens term.. For the price it's a good buy, but it's not a book you HAVE to own.

There are some interesting ideas on the background of the Gangrel and an insight into their society and view of vampire society. However, there is too little of this and too much exploration of the Gangrel-Lupine connection, which never had any foundation for support in either the Vampire or Werewolf systems. Not a good read.

An impressive Vampire tale
11 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
Clan Gangrel is one of my favorite clans, and was among the first that I played when I began partaking of the Vampire: The Masqureade roleplaying game. This book was quite a treat for me when I read it. The story follows a neonate Gangrel and her two companions who have very few ideas about who they are. During the course of their adventure, the heorine eventually discovers that she is a part of Clan Gangrel and must face off against one of the most horrifying monstrosities that the Kindred have ever known. This story follows strongly to the theme of the World of Darkness in which Vampire is set, with all the horror, action, danger, and loss that comes along with it. This isn't your Brad Pitt, suit and tie, Victorian style, English accent vampire. This is a story about monsters, which is what a vampire is, and how they interact with their own society.

A Poor Clanbook
9 Jan 1999
Format:Paperback
Clan Gangrel is probably one of my favorite clans for Vampire: The Masquerade, but this book hardly does them justice, or provides anything helpful. Way too much focus on Lupines (although the inaccurate details are a nice touch), way too much. Maybe it's a fine book if you just have a Lupine Impersonator concept, but otherwise, pass it up. If the Gangrel were as this book implies, they'd be living alone in the woods, hanging out with werewolves; they'd never need or desire companionship with other clans, especially in a city.

it lacked a lot of depth
5 Sep 1999
Format:Paperback
Gangrel is one of my fav. clans and this book didn't do much in the lines of defining them.It didn't ruin them either. I liked the lupine structure to the book, but didn't you over do it?The background of the gypsies and the Gangrel gatherings were extremly interesting. Some things can help the stories, but I recommend this only if you are a true Gangrel fan; otherwise use your imagination. Of course there are a few helpful hints.
