3.0 out of 5 stars A good read but..., 2 May 2001
By dreeves28@hotmail.com (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
...somewhat lacking in the face of other books in the series. From the very first page I wasn't captivated by the book in the way I had been with such Clanbooks as Brujah, Lasombra and Tzimisce. The opening story lacked the pull that had been greatly present in the forementioned books. Tangibly something was missing. Where other Clanbooks have left you panting for more after reading the introductory short story Clanbook Followers of Set leaves you more than satisfied to move onto the next section. That however is not to say the story was bad.

The trend was to continue in this way whilst reading the history section of the book. Whilst interesting and mostly relevent to the mythos of the clan it sometimes bordered on tedium. Perhaps a little too much history to delve through where more story would have helped.

The main virtue of the Clanbook was the information in reference to the clan in the modern nights and such. In this respect the Followers of Set Clanbook should definatly be on the reading list of anybody wanting to play a Setite character beyong the superficial depths that can be afforded by the core text.

Gratefully the Clanbook has a number of new Discipline powers and other such character relevent information. For this the writer and publisher should be commended. Some of the books in the series have tripped up on the grossly inadequate quantity of this sort of information. Clanbook Ventrue springs to mind when considering this.

As always the character concepts put forward are of high quality. Off the wall in some cases and always an enjoyment to read.

Overall, I would recommend this book only to those that have an undying love of Clan Followers of Set and those that feel their collection would be incomplete without it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wow, that was boring., 4 April 2002
By A Customer
After I (finally) finished this book, despite having to put it down on numerous occasions in order to avoid being bored to death I was left with little new insight into the Settites. Unlike some of the previous Clan books, which have tried to emphasise the unique individuality of every member of the clan, this book only seems to reinforce the stereotyical image of the Settite Cultist who is ready to buy your soul for the glory of Set. The motivations behind a Settite's worship is ignored, it is assumed that all Followers of Set are... well, devout Followers of Set, all willing to do their best for their god. The exception (of course) are the Serpents of light, but their is no leeway between the two, you're either one or the other.
Instead far too much time is spent on the clans history, which proves to be pretty dry reading.
The only reason I give it two Stars is because it does provide Settite players with some useful new powers and some details as to their beliefs. Storytellers needn't bother with the book if they wish to use the Settites as bad guys - presenting the stereotype will (apparently) portray the Clan just fine.
