Summary: Not what you expected, eh?
Comment: Before I get on to my review, let me comment on someone else's. There IS a whole chapter talking solely about the Succubus Club, you know. And if you read that whole chapter, it tells how he kept it around without Kine finding out. Anyway...
From the first sight of this book, you know that you're in for quite a treat. The artwork on the cover - a painting - is exquisite, as most of White Wolf's artwork is. Even the way the title of the book is written lets you know it's gonna be good. Moving right along, then... This book goes into great detail on every type of party (used liberally in the book) you want in your story, from the Toreador's Ball to the Sabbat pack's Vaulderie. Unlike some people, I still think that it was wise to go into such detail. There are storytellers who would be happy to use any of the information found in the book, but there's always that Golden Rule. Have fun. If you don't like everything they've given you here, change some things. This book inspired ideas in my head about the social life of Kindred that I've not thought of before. It's a great read if you are interested in the social life of Kindred and Cainite alike and I suppose, if you're looking at this review, you are.

Summary: Not what I was hoping for
Comment: Sometimes WW puts out books that are too detailed or two vague or too broad. "The Succubus Club" is a bit of all three. You see, there is supposed to be a "succubus club," the toughest Kindred hangout in the World of Darkness but this book isn't about that place (which is what I was expecting it to be). No, instead its about organizations, meeting places, parties, etc that Kindred can have when they wish to hang out to brag, fight, or just be social. I think there was enough information in all the other books to allow me to have a multitude of such events for my own players. This book is too detailed and frankly too limiting in that it stiffles some of the creativity that can make the game truly scary for players. At the same time, it is vague on certain principles such as how do you hid the place from mortals or enemies. And finally I was deeply disappointed that the focus isn't on the Succubus Club itself. I mean, really, I have the CD for it; where is the description of the place?
