It is hard to express how good this book is without spoiling it for anyone who reads the review. Everything from the 2nd edition version is there with nobs on. It evokes such a feeling of separateness that you can finally understand the Nosferatu and the trials and tribulations they face both in and outside of Kindred society. The sections are well presented and the artwork has improved drastically from the first version. All in all the other revised Clanbooks will have a difficult time beating this one. Are you ready to face the darkness beneath the city?

At last, a deeper look
28 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
The new Nosferatu Clanbook takes a new and novel approach by not presenting Nosferatu as being the be-all and end-all clan of Vampires. Taking a slightly more realistic look at the clan, it better illustrates their strengths and weaknesses then many of the books which have preceded it. While I personally find much of the charm in the book is to be found "between the lines", this may grate on some readers who would prefer outright statements of fact rather then having to deduce information by what is said and what is not. The information on Nosferatu living spaces (sewers throughout the ages) and social structure was much needed, though admittedly dry. On the whole, the clanbook is a valuable commodity to a storyteller or role-players, but is likely to be of little interest to those simply looking for new disciplines and methods to make yet another combat monster.

A improvement, but not a classic.
16 May 2000
Format:Paperback
It have MUCH more information than the first second edition clanbook, but it lacks the organic feel of the original. The new templates are great and the merit/flaws are really cool; however, some of the multiple perspective writing is a bit befuddling. All in all this is a good supplement for the white wolf line, but it's not perfect.

Reading Material for Characters with Sewer Lore of 5
6 May 2000
Format:Paperback
It starts out well, giving the story of their antediluvian's embrace from a new perspective, some ties to the Book of Nod, and an interesting first person pov of a nos neonate's embrace. (here comes the big but) BUT, the next third of the book talks about little other than nosferatu angst and the history of sewers as we know them. I honestly lost count of how many times I had to coerce myself to continue reading. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy almost everything White Wolf produces for their World of Darkness line (specifically for Vampire the Masquerade), but this book, imho, fell short of what they were reaching for. I did take notice that Justin Achilli did not put his name in the cast or credits (a note for WW fans, Achilli gets his name in almost all of the current Vampire releases) did he not want to get any blame for this piece? The redeeming part of the book (again imho) were the new nosferatu merits and flaws as well as the new nos templates, but as Achilli has been quoted as saying (in Children of the Night) "And I hate them [Merits and Flaws]". So I don't think even the vaunted head developer of Vampire the Masquerade wanted his name on the book.
