Take back the night!
9 Jun 2003
Format:Paperback
This book is one of the best books in the White Wolf storytelling system. For too long humanity has been nothing but the weaklings of the World of Darkness. They are referred to as herd, juice bags, and other unsavory titles by vampires. The Inquisition is one group of humans that are determined to take back the night. This book discusses the history and practices of the Society of Leopold, the descendents of the Inquisition. There are many new hunter-related powers as well as a detailed discussion on True Faith. The burning times are over but many of the tools that gave the Inquisition its notorious reputation are presented in this book along with rules to torture vampires. It is still nearly impossible for an Inquisitor to take a vampire on in a clean fight, but who says they have to fight fair? A great book for storytellers and players who want to utilize the soldiers of faith in their chronicles.

The Holy Inquisition - why Kindred should fear mortals
21 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
Great! This book contains lots of information about the Inquisition with regard to details about Medieval Age, Catholic Church, European history and more. It describes a group called Society of Leopold that still fights the fight against all supernatural. In detail it explains who these Inquisitors are, why they do their strange job, what their motivations and goals are. It includes various divisions and sects within the Society of Leopold, its structure, its history and philosophy and details about the headquarter in Italy. The chapter Character Creation isn't a bit inferior. It contains lots of new abilities, merits, etc. , the magic called Theurgy and more religious tools to fight the evil. True Faith is explained in detail, but is much too powerful in my opinion. It's a great book. Recommended for every Inquisitor - and only those, in modern age the Inquisition is a secret society after all !
However, two little mistakes occur. The Holy Office was renamed and reorganised in 1965 AD (2. Vatican Council), and the Vatican still holds a huge collection of Inquisition documents. Most libraries even had been opened to the public in 1998. Both facts can provide new interesting story hooks.

An excellent sourcebook on running Inquisition chronicles
31 Mar 1999
Format:Paperback
This book is full of information that gives mortals an upper hand in the World Of Darkness. It details the history of the Inquisition and its role in the modern World Of Darkness, and how the Society of Leopold views the supernatural beings they hunt. The rules for the torture of vampires and other supernatural is enough to make any good Storyteller weave in a moral and ethical lesson into the chronicle, and the amount of suspense that can be created by the misinformation that the Society has about other supernaturals all make for a darn good suspense filled chronicle..and a painful learning lesson for the Society. All in all, a great addition if you want to play a flesh and blood mortal who's tired of being pushed around by monsters.
