Si sólo puedes coger un libro además del manual de Vampiro, que sea éste. Chicago sigue siendo la mejor ciudad publicada en toda la línea, y las aventuras que la acompañan en el Succubus Club son frescas, originales, con una originalidad e inventiva superiores a lo que vino después, cuando todo estaba cerrado y codificado.
Chicago está poblada de personajes interesantes, diversos y variados, en una red de intrigas que costará muchísimas horas desenredar. Fue la primera y es la mejor crónica de Vampiro, aparte de la que uno mismo escriba, claro.
The original Chicago By Night is regarded as a classic for good reason, and is collected here with The Succubus Club, which by itself is a bit useless but in this context is at least handy as a fleshed-out location. Full review: https://refereeingandreflection.wordp...
