Excellent product with many interesting concepts at a nice price point.
The focus on humanity in the setting is strong and a inspired choice for a city itself that lacks the epic sprawl of the larger megalopolises. Personal relationships and stories are at the forefront here, though there are still the normal frictions among predatory kindred in a city.
A focus on Eugene's history in the white supremacist movement makes for innate villains, and the stories and backgrounds of the characters highlight that struggle nicely, as well as focusing on humanity as a core element of the game.
There are several strong story seeds presented, an interesting mystical location full of mystery and potential, and the presence of a significant historical personage that fits the theme of the work beautifully.
Only a minor caveat - the editing could be a tad better, but it's a minor issue.
And as a matter of personal taste, when a character from another game line is introduced I prefer seeing basic stats from within that game as well.
Five out five, one of the better examples in the storyteller's vault of the creativity and inspiration of the fan base.
