Customer Reviews

Absolutely essential..... and try to ignore the cover art!

This is an absolute essential guide for Dark Ages: Vampire players. It has info on Medieval life, history of the time, religion of the time period, and fictional info on more obscure DA:Vampire bloodlines and disciplines, including the frightening Baali and the mysterious and doomed Salubri. Definitely recommended, excellent reading..... If you're going to play a Dark Ages Vampire game, get this!

Excellent for Dark ages

If a chronicle is hard to build, it is a dark ages chronicle, not because of lack of plot, but excess of it, there's too much going on with the church, also there's chivalry and clan differences begin to break the vampire society. Certainly it is a good time to have a companion to give you few details.It expands existing disciplines providing new ones, with even new rituals. The blood lines also prove to be interesting characters that players might enjoy, and storytellers trying to run the dark ages chronicle will find this book quite useful.

DA Companion: Absolutely Essential

While Vampire: The Dark Ages is infinitely resourceful, the Dark Ages Companion is infinitely more so. It has detailed information on aspects of the dark ages which will help any chronicle. Included are several new bloodlines, plenty of new disciplines and new powers for old disciplines, and details on several religions. Possibly the most valuable resource is the new data on combat, including the mass-combat for the armies of the day.All in all, this product is essential to run a complex chronicle, and well-worth the money.

Great book filled with lots of info on different religions, really helps form backgrounds for npc's. On top of that I also have a pc who is a salubri and It REALLY helps, thank god I found a book that has the discipline of Valeren in it. Anyway overall this book was very helpful.

Great book for fleshing out any dark ages chronicle.

This book goes into great detail of dark ages, from cultures, of which it does a wonderful job detailing, ancient combat, religous faiths, up to 3 new bloodlines, the Lhiannon, Liabon, and Lamia, as well as detailing more on the Salubri, and giving a great amount of information on Baali, including their history and possible connections to other clans, as well as detailing the Infernal and showing many new Discplines and discpline levels, a great Vampire the Masquerade book.
