Kindred of the East (For Vampire, the Masquerade)

Rating:
Summary: Demons from the East
Review: The new Kindred of the East book has proven to be a great use for me and my friends. The all new ways of Dharma and the different kuei jin disciplines prove to be a nice taste of something different than just V:tm. The option of being a kindred of the east or just the flavor it adds to the chronicle is more than enough to make me feel that purchasing this book was well worth the money.

Summary: The most interesting book White Wolf has published so far.
Review: This book is simply amazing.
Even if you don't like vampires or the entire White Wolf line of monster rpg's this is a very interesting book. The subject matter is unique and it isn't just European vampires transplanted to Asia.
Before this book came out I was skeptical that W.W. would do Asian "vampires" justice but they exceeded my wildest expectations.
It mostly focuses on N-E cultures (China/Japan/Korea) but there is even a bit on Malaysian "vampires".
W.W. has even done an excellent job of putting out supplements for the game.

Summary: Possibly the greatest White Wolf Sourcebook ever.
Review: Well Well. This has got to be one of the best books That Ive ever read. This is ranked up there with the traditions gathered Volume 2 and the Clan Novel Series. White Wolf Produces a new breed of Vampire, and, oddly enough, a Breed who's origin is more beleiveable then the Original Vampire's. A slew of new ( and very cool ) Powers, and Dharmas. You should Pick up the Companion too, its fullof more minority Dharma's and powers.

Summary: This book is an alien experiance! New groud for Vampire!
Review: When I first read this book, I was skepitcal: I had heard that the vamps of the east used chi instead of blood. That sort of turned me of...till I read deeper into the book. In short, the being inside are both uggly and beautiful, malignant and bengin. They have a goal some what like that of the Hengeyokai...that is, when it comes to preserving places of high chi. Their true quest is one of enlightenment and redemtion...unlike their western counterparts, who are often turned into vamps against their will, the Kuei-jin, as they call themsleves, are souls who have fallen out of sinc with the Great Wheel due to bad Karma. This book is a must have for any Vampire player.

Summary: A whole new world of unique roleplaying experiences
Review: 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.
