Book Reviews of WoD Midnight Roads (World of Darkness)

Book Review: Another McFarland Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars

I was looking forward to this one. Honest. But again, it seems a potential thrilla was thwarted by McFarland's paste-like sensibility. This WoD supplement has precious little to offer in the way of mechanics, to expand the canon of design in the Storytelling system, so that leaves us to rely on the book's production and writing. As to the former, the production is top-notch, as usual; White Wolf has some of the best artists and ADs in this (or any) area of publishing.

As to the writing and development... not so much. Despite being one of the more prolific guys in the WW stable, McFarland just isn't very *good* at this sort of stuff. His Werewolf material is solid, but every time he's ventured into core WoD territory (or, heaven forbid, Vampire), he just leaves you dissatisfied, and more often than not, cold, which is the greater crime when one is discussing horror gaming. He's a decent researcher, which is why his work for books like Asylums -- where he's not providing content nor setting up the story so much as doing the reader's real-world homework for him -- comes out well enough. But the aesthetic for WoD games (and thus, WoD supplements) should be evocative and rich, the experience of which should make the player really think and feel. McFarland would have us believe that experiencing the World of Darkness is like eating a bowl of lukewarm oatmeal. With a cold.

And, well, that's always disappointing to real fans of the setting.

Ultimately, this book is worth a look if one is really interested in getting another perspective on the general topic, but truly only worth the buy for collectors and completists.
