Revised Clanbook Gangrel down. I actually have a couple of coherent thoughts to share.
1) The clan history is... well, kinda boring. I don't know what else to tell you but "this major event in mortal society didn't really affect the Gangrel much" gets old really fast.
2) Clan culture - well, it's the Gangrel, so there's only so much of what might be called a "uniform clan culture". Again, kinda disappointing, but not wholly unexpected.
3) Bloodlines! Finally some juicy stuff. What can I say, divergent bloodlines are fun and Gangrel have a lot of them. It doesn't go super in-depth on any of them, but you get some bits on the City Gangrel, the Arhimanes and the Lhianna (or rather fake Lhianna). Also it drops a tantalizing little speculation about a Gangrel Childe who was sired by a Gargoyle. That bit was especially fun.
4) Beckett! But not actually. So Beckett obviously gets a short entry as a Gangrel of note, but what really caught my attention there was a mention of his two allies - Anatole and Lucita. Now, I can only assume this is none other than the one and only Lucita of Aragon of clan Lasombra, but the part that confuses me specifically calls her a Lasombra antitribiu. And let me tell you, I may only really know her from her appearances in Beckett's Jyhad Diary, and she certainly did NOT seem an antitribiu to me! Hell, even Aristotle comments in that book how Lucita "doesn't seem too far gone" and there might still be a chance to convince her to come back to them. So... what's up with that?
Yes, I realize how ridiculous it is that the thing a Gangrel book has me going on the most is a Lasombra. Don't judge me.
Anyway, one book left and it's Nosferatu!
