For those who enjoy Vampire: The Masquerade, from ROBOT VIKING: “The new World of Darkness doesn’t enjoy (or suffer from, depending on your point of view) the deluge of sourcebooks that the old version did. Instead of describing countless real-world cities, the neo-WoD sourcebooks are intended to illuminate some crucial aspect of life in a world filled with supernatural horrors. In the case of New Wave Requiem, the subject is a historical era: the 1980s…”

“…This book gives players and storytellers a nice overview of the 80s (or the World of Darkness idea of the 80s). The various clans’ reactions and motivations during this period are included, along with tips for playing out the primary themes of the Me Decade. There’s a complete adventure set in 1983 Chicago, a bunch of NPCs, and a couple of crunchy rules, such as a way for vamps to mentally read information directly from computer disks or video tapes.”
