Well, that is all in the Chicago by Night supplement, so avoid that one I guess.It is evocative, perhaps a bit too evocative. Hand drawn art affords a kind of distance I liked. Besides a lot of the original art (i'm thinking of Guy Davis and Josh Timbrook specifically) is great.
What's important though is how it plays. V20 is certainly clunky, V5 i have no experience of.
I think the issue with supplements is how they are done. It bugs me to see things like clans (lasombra in this case) relegated to a city book. I don't agree with that at all. I don't really need endless clans/bloodlines.
And I certainly don't need a Malkvaian Madness Network (Fishmalk FM!)
To the point of why they chose to introduce the Lasombra in that book was because the introduction of the Clan into the Camarilla happens in a chronicle presented in that book - The Sacrifice. There is now mooted to be a Sabbat book, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them reintroduced into the Sabbat at that point, along with the Tzimisce (who have been detailed so far in a free supplement).
