While I understand this is only a pre-alpha set, and much has yet to be developed, I love the direction White-Wolf is going with this.

I started playing Vampire back in 1991, in my early 20s, and played it as a very harsh horror game (with politics).

By about 1993-1994, it seemed that most people were playing it as Vampires are superheroes and the horror aspect became much less pronounced.

Both the rules, and the adventure, bring things back to that horror core. The Hunger mechanic, and the implications of this, force the players to face their beast in a way that hasn't been in the forefront since 1st edition (or at least some of our interpretations of that).

The adventure is filled with very hard choices which balance the political 'horror' (of hard choices that might destroy your standing... or strengthen it at a cost) with the personal horror of being a damned predator.

If you think that such horror is 'immature' (which in my opinion ignores the corpus of vampire literature and folklore in exchange for emo power fantasies) then you may not like this.

If you want a vampire game that is firmly entrenched in a harsher realm of horror, while also feeling very much like early Vampire: The Masquerade, then give this a try, give White-Wolf good feedback on the rest of the devlopment and enjoy!
