Summary: Not Just Misfits
Review: The Sabbat are many things, mysterious and everpresent, violent and oppressive, exotic and different. These are not the Kindred of the hidden Camarilla, they are the Cainites who roam the streets.

The Sabbat clans and bloodlines are given here in detail, save for those already in the primary Vampire sourcebook. Also included (and excellently done) are several bloodlines designed for non-player characters. Among these is the Harbingers of Skulls, an odd group of Cappadocian Elders who escaped the Giovanni purge. Their now-forgotten legacy is only hinted at in this book, following a powerful tradition of answering one question and opening two.

The overall tone of this book is moving. Like its companions, it focuses on horror. But this is a whole different horror, from being buried "alive" to torturing mortals. It's a powerful guide to the darker half of the night, and an absolutely marvelous resource to anyone running a Sabbat chronicle.

Summary: Great Book
Review: The Sabbat get an update out of the cliched manaic with a chainsaw in one hand and torch in the other and finally become a full blown sect. Clan bloodlines are discussed, merits and flaws, etc etc. What's REALLY exciting about this book are the exploration of Sabbat politics, packs, and rites. The 'bad guys' never had it so good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sabbat - Now you Know
Review: This book goes in-depth about the Sabbat. Only vaguely covered in the main Vampire book, this gives great insight to what is normally perceived to be a group of thugs, but if that was all they were, the Camarilla would have wipedthem out a long time ago instead of always being wart of the Sabbat. You can now play the "bad guy" Vampires, but without all the hindrance of Camarilla rules. Check it out and either play Sabbat or set up some real adversaries.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lots of Info.
Review: This book has plenty of information that would normaly be excluded from the average ST's game. There is so much detail and history information that a ST could easily make a chronicle about just the material in here. The sabbat was never anything to scoff at but now your ST can really flesh out some of those antagonists, make some new ones, and feed the players mind with more violence in those contested cities.

Another Plus is the aditional clans that are told about. The True Brujah are real intreasting, but I'd have to say that one of my fav's would be the Tzcimisce.

This book may not be for everybody though. I would almost go so far as to say that with a little more it could make it as a Black Dog book. But it's good reading and a MUST for any ST.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: New idea old rules
Review: Well what can i say the vampire system has been set right about what clans are active in the sabbat.

As well as the powers and standing of the diffrent clans it also give examples of how a sabbat campaign could be played. This is a cool book to get if you are just getting in to the vampire Rpg scene. Added bonus is the art work is for the most part new as well cool !

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Things have changed for the Sabbat is a understatement
Review: When I read this book I had no intention of running a Sabbat campaign. But as we speek I amin the middle of running one. I was mightly impressed by the book and have found it very useful as a resource for my game. The new bloodlines (Harbringers of skulls and Salubri) have made me even more excited then ever of the direction of the game line. yes the final nights have indeed begin in ernest and today you can even play with the terrors of the world of darkness like never before. As I have read in other reviews it does indeed talk about Sabbat politics and this side of the game has always been one of the most fun for me. I recomend this book to anyone
