All hail the Dark Mother! Ahi hay Lilitu!Quite a lot wordier than the Book of Nod, which made it tougher and longer to get through, but still I really enjoyed experiencing the 'real' story of Adam and Eve and of the original 'First woman' who was cast aside.
Come, descend, ye spirits of shells,Ye friends of broken light!Come and embrace the gift of Caine,I call for deathI will for death.Come, descend, fragments of sorrows.-Malediction: Queen of HellsThe Book of Nod very clearly lays out the foundational myths of vampire society. First there was Caine, cursed by G-d, who became a vampire and from him to all the vampires descend. Lilith is mentioned, but vanishes after Caine leaves her presence. But hints are dropped of vampires who follow Lilith inst...
I found this book in a remote little store in Western Texas, about twelve years ago. Apparently, it's a companion piece to some kind of game. I picked it up because I was interested in the Lilith mythology. This book equates her as the mother of all vampires, but the section that talks about the legend and her connection to Cain/Nod was fascinating. Illustrated. Strange: I show Rachel Dolium as the author on the spine of the book, Phil Brucato and Rachelle Udell as the co-authors on the copyrigh...
If you're looking for strange, dark, mythic writings for use in your Vampire: the Masquerade game, then this is the book for you. If you aren't, then there isn't much point. This little tome is a fairly well illustrated, fairly well written, but ultimately forgetable trip on the World of Darkness's mythic dark side.
As I said in my review of The Book of Nod, found here, I've decided to read books from the tabletop setting Vampire: the Masquerade for my 2020 GoodReads Challenge. I'm attempting to go in a sort-of chronological timeline of my favorite character Cuthbert Beckett's life.The Book of Nod deals with the popular theory of vampires' genesis, and Revelations of the Dark Mother is advertised as a twisted mirror version of it. The Book of Nod focuses on the masculine Caine, the triumphs of civilization,...
Personally expected something more but enjoyable nonetheless.Artwork is good as well.Good sourcebook to include elements in the game.
What a book! What a story!I loved everything about it, especially the artwork!I don't get it, though... Why does everyone keep talking about Caine's story and not about Lilith's?! It pisses me off!!! Caine is such an overestimated bastard...AHI HAY LILITU!
Nearly twenty years (!) after I first purchased and read this book, and find it as disagreeable now as then.The path to a woman's wisdom is through rape and suffering? I think perhaps not.Even taken as an in-game example of the wrongheadedness of the cults to be found in the World of Darkness, I found it disagreeable.
A good contrast to the Book of Nod. I enjoyed it.
Basic Premise: A supplement for Vampire: TM RPG, written as a tome of lore about Lilith.Like other books put out by White Wolf, this is intended to be a combination of background info/flavor material for players to read and a prop for games. It is written as if it were an actual book in the World of Darkness, not as if it were a gaming supplement. The information within isn't vital to running or playing, but it can definitely add to a game and I definitely recommend reading it if you plan to run...
Marvel for all fans of Vampire
