Book Reviews of Vampire: The Requiem For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
Book Review: Great Reference Tool for the ST
Summary: 4 Stars
The "Dummies" line of books is meant to be a resource tool and this one in particular is quite successful in that endeavor. While it contains pretty much the exact information as the WOD and VtR books do (which is why it loses a star), it presents them in a clear and precise manner.
This is a great tool for STs to use when trying to explain the world to others who MAY be interested, but not sure enough to go out and buy the actual books. I use it to help me concisely explain the mechanics and general points of the world to potential players so they don't get overwhelmed by a lot of imagery and unneeded flowery writing.
I admit, the actual WW books are more interesting to read, and if you want to play, you really should spend the time. But when you have 4 people ready to play and one who is completely ignorant of WOD games, you don't always have time to wait around for the one person to learn his stuff. That is where this book comes in. (Another use I just thought of is the inevitable in game rules look-up. This book cuts down time wasted looking rules in game in most situations.)
While I would not list this book as "must have," I would recognise it's possible uses.
