Entertaining read + the Baali make excellent enemies
This book was so interesting, that I had to finish it in a single take.
All Vampire material should be like this (the excess is highly overrated, I don't what the fuss is all about). If some people find this sick or disturbing, they should quit playing games about characters who have to kill and drink blood just to survive :-).
I'm a VtDA ST, and this book has great value for my chronicle. Just reading it opened a well of ideas and story plot in my mind. I have used no Baali until now, I thought they represented all the boring and cliche aspects of evil. Clanbook Baali changed all that, there are so many different and subtle ways they could creep into a chronicle... (I'll stop here as not to spoil the fun)
Closing statement: A must for ST's, a good read for all VtDA fans, and a new bloodline to play for mature and experienced roleplayers only.
Add pure Evil to your Chronicle
As is printed on the cover, Clanbook: Baali is not suited for children. It's pictures might offend people as may its content. So if you are religious you shouldn't buy it. But to put it right the Baali are not all satanists! They worship old evil beings called the Children (of darkness)called names of old babylonian and assyrian gods. They are cruel, sadistic, perverted, spread diseases via insects and perform rituals resembling satanic rites what leads to their image as whorshipers of Satan. Afer some time the weak Baali started to think of themselves as servants of Satan because of the other clans. Thats a very short summary of their history. So if you feel offended by anything stated here don't buy the book otherwise buy it and enjoy an Chronicle enhanced with pure EVIL.
not just mindless evil
i know that a lot of people who read this book was offended by it. it certainly isn't for everyone. the baali doesnt have to exist in each and every soryteller's game setting but, if it does, then this book is a great help. it gives in-depth information about the baali in an intelligent, three dimensional manner. not an "evil for the sake of evil" but gives real reasons why the baali do what they do and what they are. my only problem is that the book does not give enough daimoinon powers but it is rich in historical content and the philosophies of the baali. for me, i don't regret purchasing this book.
