Summary: They mailed this one in.
Comment: This was a very disappointing ending to one of the best roleplaying series I've ever seen. The first three books built things up to appear as though there would be a confrontation in the modern nights, but this epilogue ignores that entirely. Maybe the showdown will appear with the Time of Thin Blood or other Year of the Reckoning titles, but the final showdown should've happened here. Sure, storytellers can whip one up, but trying to cap the previous three books with a homebrew scenario smacks of hubris.

Anyway, the previous reviewer has good info on what's in it. I'm just disappointed with what isn't in it.

Rating: 3
Summary: Good module, bad epilogue
Comment: This module is a wonderful start for a Giovanni campaign. The players start out as ghouls of the Giovanni during the 20s and it follows their progress from there to the status of Neonates in the city of Boston through three more historical periods. A great introduction to a modern nights game.

However, as the 'epilogue' of the Giovanni Chronicles series, it is very, very lacking. First off, the writer decided not to have the players reprise their roles as the characters they have been following since the first book. This, in itself, is enough to turn most groups off of it. What's the point of calling part of the series if it has only a periphery relation?

Second, most of the material which does cover the plot line from the first three books is very weak, involving a flashback which is not so much a role-playing experience as a novelization of the signature characters taking over part of the plot line from the their previous characters for no particular reason and several other poorly developed tie ins.

All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to start a campaign centered around the Giovanni. I would STRONGLY NOT recommend it for people interested in the continuing story of the series.
