Mythologies
I don't know if I believe.
But I know I'm scared.
That makes it real enough.

A wonderfully creepy collection of "myths" - really, whole *mythologies*, in some cases - from the vampires of the new World of Darkness. I used one of these extensively in the first Vampire: The Requiem chronicle I ran, and it was suitably creepy - I think I scared the players as well as their characters, sometimes . . .

More probably a 3.5
I don't actually roleplay in the vtm universe but I'm working on novels of my own that have vampires, so I've been trying to collect as much information/lore about them as possible. A lot of the book is game mechanics, which I skipped, but some of the ideas in here are pretty cool.

A great example of White Wolf's "tool box" approach, which they have taken with their new World of Darkness material. Some of the ideas were odd, but they were all interesting. Good work.
