Very thorough. I own the book but only gave it a once through because my group has barely made it through the second sourcebook.

I bought Orpheus because it was a bubble in the World of Darkness. I didn't want Vampires, I didn't want Werewolves, and seeming as I never knew anything about Wraith, I didn't want that either.

So, I am glad that they played taboo with Wraith lexicon.

On another note, in the core book they do explain about the Black Ant/White Rice syndrome. People are just very skeptical and looking at shows like that one where the guy gets ghosts for people in the audience, it is tough to believe. So that's the stance I use.

Anyway good review. It is a really good book. I also do wonder what they were thinking with the 4-th Tier Haunter Horror. Especially since your Crucible should be down there where roads probably aren't as accessible. Oh yeah, and the Emblems are powerful as hell, but it is nearing the end of the chronicle, might as well turn it epic.
