This WitchCraft/Armageddon supplement not only brings the Dream Realms to life, but also makes them a more vital part of the setting and offers more non-dream utility than you might expect.

Again very comprehensive, detailed yet still an interesting read, as always Dan.
And yep, I agree with the review, Hod is particually cool, since there is
It also is perhaps the first in the which really distances itself from the (somewhat undiserved) “World of Darkness-wannabe” label that I’ve seen applied.
Even more so than Witchcraft, I’m a total Armageddon fanboy, and the Book of Hod possesses more Armageddon-specific background information than any other book in the Witchcraft range. Although I think the Abomination Codex currently serves as the best Supplement for Armageddon (something I mentioned here: http://www.rpg.net/forums/phorum/rf08/read.php?f=89&i=1&t=1 ), until a range of Armageddon supplements finally get published (a PDF only supplement is apparently nearing completion, whoot! :-) ).

Really? Interesting... How do you think this supplement, in particular, does that?

While, as I mentioned in the review, the book offers some good reasons for characters to visit Hod in WitchCraft, the Sammael Gate makes an even <i>better</i> reason in Armageddon.

Solitaire covenants are essentially unique one-off groups. They don't have members spread across the world or even a region. There's the central group and that's it. There's only one group of the Wizards of Oz, while the Wicce or Rosicrucians are made up of many smaller groupings of members.
About the only other published solitaire covenant I know of are the Aquarians, seen in the corebook, a small group cum cult that grew up around a single founder.
hmm, pasifism and the sword. sometimes its needed for even the true pasifist to take lifes, alltho with heavy heart. like say when a mad god and its pawns threaten to destroy all of existence. one may argue that they are not of this world and therefor have no influence on the cycle of reincarnation.
