Book Reviews of Vampire Invictus, The (Vampire)

Book Review: THIRD COVENANT SOURCEBOOK FOR VAMPIRE: THE REQUIEM
Summary: 5 Stars

I usually write detailed reviews of my gaming books, but the "Dazed Genoshan" already has a great detailed review of INVICTUS, so make sure that you read his review.

As far as my own opinion, I definitely think that INVICTUS is the best of the line of covenant books:
-First is its value; the Invictus are everywhere, and the PCs will most likely have to interact with them. So there needn't be Invictus PCs in your chronicle to get a lot of use from this book.
-Second is its originality. I thought of the Invictus as filling the "political power" niche while other covenants got the "mystic power" niche. This is not completely true - the Invictus have blood oaths that carry occult force, while a house dynasty can create a mystic bond. I thought that giving the Invictus occult abilities would be cheesy, but it is pulled off well and really fits the flavor of the covenant.
-Finally, it's just well written. I could have easily imagined a book written about "bad guys" or The Man holding people down. Instead of being described from such a simplistic point of view, the Invictus do what they do because it's safe, efficient, and produces results. It's the sort of dictatorship I could imagine lasting millenia.

I think INVICTUS is one of those books that every VAMPIRE: REQUIEM player and storyteller should own.

Summary of Vampire Invictus, The (Vampire)

An Invincible Legacy

Patterning itself after the glory of Rome's Kindred society and the ages of kings that followed, the Invictus stands as a model covenant, one immune to the passage of time. But how well do ancient ways mesh with the Damned of the modern world? On whose backs is the Ivory Tower's foundation built?

A Covenant Guide for Vampire: The Requiem

* Details the history, hierarchy, and goals of the Invictus (one of Vampire's core factions), and serves as an invaluable guide to the world of the Kindred from the covenant's unique viewpoint.

* Features new bloodlines and powers unique to the Invictus, making the book a sure draw to the players.

* Provides settings, antagonists, and story seeds for Storytellers.

* Invaluable for running political and intrigue chronicles, as the Invictus is the covenant of Princes and power-schemers.
