Summary: The best book ever
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. Even if you don't play Vampire I think it's really worth reading. I didn't play Vampire at first, but The Book of Nod made me! I have become a kindred...

Summary: Great tool for any Vampire game
Review: This is quite an enjoyable book. The Chronicle of Caine is complimented with Beckett's alternate theory of Clan Caine and Clan Abel. The Chronicle of Shadows is full of wonderful quotes a Noddist character could recite. And the Chronicle of Secrets is perfect for bringing about Gehenna. But while this book is worth buying, I just want to point out two problems with it that bothered me.The first is that "The Tale of the First City" goes from pages 46-55, and has only one footnote throughout it. Some scholarly insights would have been useful. The second is minor, but worth correcting. On page 53, substitute the name Giovanni with Cappadocian. The Giovanni clan came long after the Cappadocian clan, and were not a part of the original Antidiluvians. Otherwise, this is a wonderful source book and a good read as well. I highly recommend it to storytellers for Vampire: the Masquerade.

Summary: A definite must read!
Review: This is the best and most accurate up-to-date book about vampire lore. If you've every thought about reading a book about the demons that walk the night this has to be your first pick. It lists all the clans in full detail with the last words of the 2nd generation clan elders to their childer and a very in depth story about the first vampire Caine. Although some of the writing may be hard to read (like the Malkavian clan text) this is still a great book. But the only way to complete it is to read The Erciyes Fragments which will complete the Book of Nod. ENJOY!

Summary: Awesome little book.
Review: This little book was made to be a resource for the Vampire Masquerade game but it can definitely be read and enjoyed by fans who have no idea what Vampire Masquerade even is. This short book, which can be read in like 30-60 minutes, shows the origins of the vampires, and their sects, and shows their 'fall from grace' from heaven and why they were shunned by all. And while the book might be extremely short in length, the build quality easily makes up for that. There are wonderful drawings, indexes, and footnotes litered throughout the book. And the silver lined pages, attached cloth bookmark, and smooth hardcover scream quality like no other. This book is a must read for any vampire or horror fan who wants to learn a bit more on vampire history and their origin.

Summary: So you say you're a storyteller?
Review: Well if you run a vampire chronicle, specially in the dark ages, including the book of Nod might increase trama and paranoia for your players. The book itself has enough tips on how to use it. And you might just find out what is expected with the comming of Gehenna.

Summary: Black bound book....easier to obfuscate?
Review: When I first read this book, it was in one sitting, and several times I have retuned to it to brush up on my lore. I play live-action Vampire the Masquerade and thoroughly enjoyed this book not only as a great book ITSELF...but as a great supplement. In my opinion...IT and the "sequel book" The Erciyes Fragments create a FULL volume of the Book of Nod. GET BOTH! Whereas the Book of Nod has what I consider to be THE outline of the laws of the clans as dictated by Malkav, Toreador and the others, The Book of Erciyes (which some fellow gamers have affectionatly been calling the COMPLETE version of the Book of Nod) contains more history about Caine's curses HE put on the clans, his exile in the land of Nod as well as a rather interesting bit with Lilith. Why get both? Well I don't feel the story is COMPLETE without both and they're a combination of georgeous art and some of the most creative gothic writing I have seen in a LONG time.

Summary: Definitely five star and worth the money to any serious vtmr
Review: While I think that it should be kept in mind, characters will not necessarily know what is in the book, it still makes for good reading and you get a feel for the big picture of V:TM. I read it all in one sitting and I will probably read it again and again. It is fun (once you get the stats) to quote every now and then from it to see who picks up on it. PS- I disgree with the writer's review (even!), in that I do not think at all that VtM was male oriented even before introducing Lilith into the game. I think, by design vampires are attractive to female players and in many psychological texts, vampires are a symbol of feminine sexuality (kind of makes sense.) In any case, a good read!
