First off I would like to say that I did like all the books in this set, but what I can not under stand is why the change in the last book??. I can not tell you more about what change they made as it will spoil the story and I will take into account that with just a small bit of work the GM can change the book to fit the way the game is going for him/her. Apart from this I did really like the book and it also gave the story an ending. It did bring up some very good hook-lines for bring groups together, how you gave out info etc.. that will help in any game you may be running. To finish this few words off I will say this, while I did only give the book a 3star mark it was really only because of the dramatic change the book took from the first three books in the story line, but and I will say BUT when I got more into the way the book unfolded it was cool. So for ether to finish the story or just a good read I say you should get it, you will not be totally disappointed.

Good module, bad epilogue
10 Jun 1999
This module is a wonderful start for a Giovanni campaign. The players start out as ghouls of the Giovanni during the 20s and it follows their progress from there to the status of Neonates in the city of Boston through three more historical periods. A great introduction to a modern nights game.
However, as the 'epilogue' of the Giovanni Chronicles series, it is very, very lacking. First off, the writer decided not to have the players reprise their roles as the characters they have been following since the first book. This, in itself, is enough to turn most groups off of it. What's the point of calling part of the series if it has only a periphery relation?
Second, most of the material which does cover the plot line from the first three books is very weak, involving a flashback which is not so much a role-playing experience as a novelization of the signature characters taking over part of the plot line from the their previous characters for no particular reason and several other poorly developed tie ins.
All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to start a campaign centered around the Giovanni. I would STRONGLY NOT recommend it for people interested in the continuing story of the series.

They mailed this one in.
7 July 1999
This was a very disappointing ending to one of the best roleplaying series I've ever seen. The first three books built things up to appear as though there would be a confrontation in the modern nights, but this epilogue ignores that entirely. Maybe the showdown will appear with the Time of Thin Blood or other Year of the Reckoning titles, but the final showdown should've happened here. Sure, storytellers can whip one up, but trying to cap the previous three books with a homebrew scenario smacks of hubris.
Anyway, the previous reviewer has good info on what's in it. I'm just disappointed with what isn't in it.
