The equivalent of the mainstream Camarilla Vampires, with a decidedly antagonistic ideological difference. Freedom, Freedom, let Freedom Ring!
This rpg book really opened my eyes to what was originally the antagonists in the previous vampire games I'd played. Things definitely aren't as they seem, and the exploration of what makes anyone human is the most engrossing part of the gameplay. It's not about blood and guts, although there is plenty of that. It's more about exploration and viewpoint, about how pain and loss can twist a psyche.

If you're going to lose your humanity, and fall in with others who have gone so far as to forsake it altogether, then what are you? What is left, or more importantly, how much is there to gain? Fascinating core book supplement, and ought to be required reading for any serious gamer.

At least for WoD, that is. :)

I've always been a huge fan of the WoD role playing games, and even more so when you consider that they're all modular and you can mix and match elements from each system and make a storytelling experience something really grand. Vampire pretty much started my love of the series of games, and I've had the pleasure to start a group once again. The constraints and the wonderful power struggles, not to mention the possibility that a character can become very beast, makes the system very awesome.
(Note: This is the older system, not the recent re-creation of the same.) The amount of sourcebooks to enrich the storytelling makes this system preferable, in my opinion.
