My view on the Clan thing is that the seven included in V5 are the same as in V1 and V2 and represent the Clans of ‘normal’ vampire society. The other Clans are more peripheral, and aren’t necessary to make a classic V:TM chronicle. That said, it is nice to have them all in one place. I think the Modiphius’ plan was to use the Player’s Guide to detail the rest - but they fell through.
If you got the Camarilla and Anarch books you do get the Banu Haqim and The Ministry respectively, which works well enough for me. Ditto the Cults of Blood Gods - which is a natural fit for Hecata (and to detail Giovanni, Cappadocian, etc). I’m not sure Chicago by Night was would have been the best place to drop in another Clan, but the Lasombra are necessary to the plot line in the Chronicle outlined in the book. I personally wonder whether the Lasombra will defect back to the Sabbat by the time the Sabbat book comes to fruition, and it wouldn’t be entirely unworkable to make Ravnos join too. So they could have an official release to get the remaining Clans, including Tzmisce too, all included. If we also get an interesting, and possibly PC-playable approach to The Second Inquisition book, we will have a pretty complete line. Then they can start building on Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th edition and see where that takes the line.....
Yeah I was really hopeing they would put them all in the players guide - that would also totally work for me.
I think the killer was putting the Lasombra in Chicago by Night. Putting player facing info in a product like that is just silly and smacks of money grabbing.
