Discover the truth of their madness. It's too late for that.

Basic Concept: A deep dive into the Malkavian vampires for White Wolf's World of Darkness.
White Wolf is fantastic at creating flavor material for the different elements of their games. The insane Malkavians are given their moment to shine in this book. This is really one of the most creative books White Wolf ever put out, as they wrote it as if a bunch of Malks actually wrote a book. Pages trail off into nothing or are complete gibberish. They're written upside-down. So the whole thing stays true to the spirit of the Malkavians. There is useful crunch in here, but the fluff, the story, is really the point.

It's so sad when a book is beautiful at the expense of legible. (by which I mean the grayscale, not the fonts, or the content...those were fun.
