This is a disappointing example of lazy thinking on White Wolf's part. When I first got this book, I hoped for some interesting ideas about the Black Hand,their motivation, and their agenda. I got this in aces - unfortunately, I also got the equivalent of 'Vampire: The Superhero Game".
Whilst the basic True Hand/ False Hand idea is excellent, allowing even more political back-biting, it then heads off into a flight of fantasy about Kindred in the Shadowlands, Enoch, and a load of guff about souleaters. Does anyone else feel that this is just "Bad Guy of the Week" material ? I feel that the idea of souleaters is generally poor, and should never have been committed to paper. Vicissitude as a disease that eventually kills its users is fine - having it as a sentient monster feels like a cop out.

The Sabbat actually works to protect humanity? Sabbat paths that restrict frenzy and condone clear thought and logic? A great addition to the White Wolf family. The True Brujah, previously a myth in white wolf history, add an element of tragedy to the White Wolf scene previously exhibitied by the Salubri and perhaps the Cappadocians. The tie-ins to other WoD games is unique, logical and interesting. I give this book an A+ :)

Dirty Secrets is one of the best support books yet put out. It takes the general city-based scope of most Vampire Campaigns and shoots it out of the water: providing an ancient, world-spanning conspiracy that Storytellers can use to torment their players for years in the future. I'd advise against it if you like to run a smaller-scale set of stories, True Hand Characters are generally much older and more powerful than V:tm characters. that would be my only significant criticism that the Templates in the back are a bit "overstocked" -- there are way too many 7th & 8th gen templates, almost none of 9/10, making the characters in the back suitable more for "deus ex machina" characters and "evil nemeses", rather than standards for PCs.

Don't read unless you are going to play a Black Hand.
The discipline of Temporis is interesting, if difficult to use in a real campaign, and the idea of the True Brujah is okay. Read more
