Format:Hardcover
This book has enough background to be a game in itself. it is much more detailed in that respect than its parent game, Vampire:the Masquerade. The character creation process is great for player characters and storytellers alike. This book will add a lot of flavour to your games - buy it as soon as possible.

Every Vampire enthusiast should read this book. Whether you're going to play Kuei-jin or have them as storyteller characters, they're very interesting. There's a huge amount of background to read. It's great.

A well-balanced and handy book for the World of Darkness
2 Sep 1998
Format:Hardcover
Congratulations to White Wolf on this book. It offers a good view of a new type of supernatural to add to the World of Darkness (but, carefully.) I like the openness of the players moral decisions; they're much closer to Sabbat Paths than Humanity, yet they're not evil- they just have a different world view than the Western Kindred are used to. The book does a good job describing it and setting the feel for it. Contrary to the other reviews, I find the Eastern and Western Kindred to be fairly balanced power-wise. If you're interested in extending your World of Darkness setting into the East, this book is a must.

One of the best books from White Wolf
4 Jan 2000
Format:Hardcover
I thought that KoE was one of the best books that I have read from White Wolf. It takes and enforces the original intention of Vampire: the Masquerade, the struggle between keeping your Humanity and succumbing to your Beast. It is designed to keep players from becoming ungodly strong power characters really quickly and simply ignoring the enlightenment part. In my opinion that alone makes it a very worthwhile game since it focuses on roleplaying more than how much power you can grab. And yes the Kuei-jin are strong, but they also have disadvantages that equal them out so they have no more of an advantage than any other group does. All in all, an extremely excellent book.

A whole new world of unique roleplaying experiences
13 Jan 2000
Format:Hardcover
White Wolf has captured the mysticism and uniqueness of the Orient in KotE, and describe an imaginative race of vampires that in no way are a copy of western vampires. In fact, after reading KotE, I think western vampires are quite boring and without purpose. Together with the rest of WW's Asia-oriented books, like Hengeyokai, KotE is a masterpiece. The only downside is that maybe it's not very easy to play KotE compared to Vampire, and it's definitely harder to find the right Asian atmosphere. But other than that, it's perfect.
