It comes with a few minorĬaveats but it is definitely top tier material for the setting.Ī warning for those who are reading this book in hopes of getting new material for the Sabbat, the largest blood cult among vampires, that this book doesn't contain any information about that organization or rules for Paths of Enlightenment. Supplement continue this trend? I'd say yes. Supplement period) and just "gets" the material.
Of Darkness (Beckett's Jyhad Diary is my all time favorite V:TM OPP has alreadyĪn established reputation for making awesome supplements for the World Well, only the latter is a game supplement and by OPP. The two best things to come out of 5th Edition so far have been the LA by Night web series and Chicago by Night 5th Edition as well as its supplements ( The Chicago Folios, Let the Streets Run Red). However, I'm going to be honest in that IĪlso feel like it is best done by Onyx Path Publishing. I believe it is the best edition to come out since 1st Edition and the I am also a stalwart defender of Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition. Cults of the Blood Gods doesn't just focus on the Caine myth, though, and expands significantly on the options for those who wish to play polytheistic, pagan, drug, ancestor, and other forms of religion cultists.
Speaking as a liberal Christian growing up in the fundamentalist Bible Belt, I've enjoyed the satirical element of the setting as well as its hidden mysteries. I personally have always loved the occult aspect of the World of Darkness setting. This has not always sat well with atheist or other religious gamers and is a topic some prefer to be left out of their power fantasy of bloodsucking monsters. One of the elements that makes V:TM so interesting is that it doesn't shy away from presenting a dark Christian mythology-flavored universe where God cursed Caine only to have said being spread his curse across Abel's descendants.
CULTS OF THE BLOOD GODS is a somewhat controversial topic to begin with as it is a book that reflects Kindred (vampire) religion.
