If you liked the Players' Guide to Bordeaux by Night, you do not want to miss this book. All of the juiciest secrets are contained within, and as a ST, you should definitely get your hands on it to find out just how many ways your players can blow up the powder keg that is Bordeaux's Kindred society (and trust me, there are a number of phenomenally explosive ways to go, all provided in detail in this guide). Let your players pick their poison; there's no doubt things are going to fall apart around them, but they have the power to pick which corner of the house of cards they want to bring down first. Obviously, as a player you should not touch this book at all, much less read it - spoilers abound within, and it will ruin your enjoyment of the setting since it takes away much of the gut punches your ST could pull off with these plots otherwise. If you want social intrigue, well-made, realistic characters with flaws and skeletons in their closets, and love to poke your nose where it doesn't belong, then you can't pass up the opportunity to explore the city of wine. Come for the chance to secure a foothold in a recently shaken-up domain, stay for the "car crash, can't look away"-levels of awfulness unfolding as you learn just who exactly you're rubbing elbows with in Bordeaux.
