However, two little mistakes occur. The Holy Office was renamed and reorganised in 1965 AD (2. Vatican Council), and the Vatican still holds a huge collection of Inquisition documents. Most libraries even had been opened to the public in 1998. Both facts can provide new interesting story hooks.

Take back the night!   June 10, 2003
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book is one of the best books in the White Wolf storytelling system. For too long humanity has been nothing but the weaklings of the World of Darkness. They are referred to as herd, juice bags, and other unsavory titles by vampires. The Inquisition is one group of humans that are determined to take back the night. This book discusses the history and practices of the Society of Leopold, the descendents of the Inquisition. There are many new hunter-related powers as well as a detailed discussion on True Faith. The burning times are over but many of the tools that gave the Inquisition its notorious reputation are presented in this book along with rules to torture vampires. It is still nearly impossible for an Inquisitor to take a vampire on in a clean fight, but who says they have to fight fair? A great book for storytellers and players who want to utilize the soldiers of faith in their chronicles.


God smites the WoD   January 17, 1999

This book is a great Hunter's sourcebook. It is recent, so there's continuity, and it details True Faith, the bane of all supernaturals of the WoD. Also included is a history of the Inquisition (both in our world and the WoD), Merits and Flaws (many of which were in The Hunters Hunted, but were reprinted), and Cenacula creation rules. Buy it. Buy Project Twilight. And start fraggin' the things that go bump in the night. The Inquisition: it's not just for infidels anymore.


An excellent sourcebook on running Inquisition chronicles   March 31, 1999

This book is full of information that gives mortals an upper hand in the World Of Darkness. It details the history of the Inquisition and its role in the modern World Of Darkness, and how the Society of Leopold views the supernatural beings they hunt. The rules for the torture of vampires and other supernatural is enough to make any good Storyteller weave in a moral and ethical lesson into the chronicle, and the amount of suspense that can be created by the misinformation that the Society has about other supernaturals all make for a darn good suspense filled chronicle..and a painful learning lesson for the Society. All in all, a great addition if you want to play a flesh and blood mortal who's tired of being pushed around by monsters.
