Saulot has fallen, and to what end? The demon Kupala rages in his ancestral home at whose behest? Beneath the dead soil of Transylvania pulses an undying heart, but for how long? The prophecies of Gehenna are coming to fruition in the Dark Medieval world. Only those who would defy destiny itself can stem the dark tide of the final nights

Mediocre, mediocre, mediocre. Es curioso cómo hace 20 años nos colaban estas mierdacas y nos parecían arte.

Las Crónicas de Transilvania son una campaña de Vampiro que abarca 800 años en tiempo de juego. Se apoya en el excelente Transilvania Nocturno para crear una historia que enlaza con los temas de la Gehena, los Antediluvianos y buena parte de la mitología de los Cainitas.

Es también un módulo cutre, cutre, cutre, que requiere mucho trabajo del árbitro para funcionar. Trufado de cosas que pasarán sí o sí hagan los jugadores lo que sea, y donde al final se espera de estos que sean convidados de piedra mientras el árbitro les hace un tour guiado de varios acontecimientos importantes de la historia. No hay estadísticas de muchos personajes importantes, muchas cosas se saltan y no se cuentan, y hay cosas que pasan porque sí, a la buena de dios.

No le doy menos nota porque la idea de fondo es interesante y se puede arreglar con trabajo. Pero vaya, es para hacerle un descuartizamiento a fondo.

A chronicle spanning the ages for Vampire: The Masquerade touching on some of the pivotal moments in Kindred History. The chronicle is that bad, certainly of a lot higher quality than the earlier work, namely the Giovanni Chronicles, and it allows for a bit more interaction/meddling of the players into these events.

avrei voluto adorare questo libro con tutto me stesso, ma si tratta a tutti gli effetti di una "skin" per una campagna, un guscio di eventi e sottotessti che non compongono un'avventura vera e propria ma solo alcune interruzioni e passaggi.
