Product Description:
A Storytelling Game of Stolen Lives
Prometheans are soulless corpses animated by a mysterious, alchemical force -- the Divine Fire stolen from the gods. Their hideousness forces humans, animals, and even nature itself to reject them on an instinctual level. They wander the dark places of the world, seeking what their creators denied them: humanity.
New Game set in the World of Darkness
*A whole new type of character for players, inspired by the classic Frankenstein monster and the worldwide myths of Golems
*Explores aspects of the World of Darkness unknown to the other game lines
*Strange new antagonists and mysteries to unravel for players of any World of Darkness game

Mature, well-written, rich both in dramatic ambience and in-game setting. Promethean could well be considered the New World of Darkness' top game of top games. Sure Vampire, Mage, Werewolf, Hunter and Changeling are fantastic - and the World of Darkness generals alike - but this one is so special you just cannot get enough of it. An extremely happy purchase, and a confirmation of its qualities above all greatest expectations. Highly recommended.

Had to pick this up with all the buzz on what an excellent game this is. Basically you play a Frakenstein type creature, a golem as such who is questing for mortality and a soul. This book uses the World of Darkness rules set, so you need that book to play this one. This game is also a limited run game, which means that besides this core book and the 4 supplements there are not going to publish any additional expansions. Also, when it goes out of print it will probably be gone for good, so probably best to snag your copy while its available (although you could buy it on electronic pdf).

I enjoy the WOD and most of it's associated products on the whole i find the production values higher then wizards of the coast. I have purchased all the other supplements for wod and while i still value changeling as the best I very much enjoyed promethean. The idea of the golem and frankenstien appeals very much especially since a great many of us feel misunderstood at some time or another. the book is well layed out and a joy to read I especially like the opening piece as i believe it really captures the feel of the game. This book will appeal to those who value a strong story line set in a world like our own but whose darkness is personified in various supernatural species. But be forwarned the tone of this game is all about isolation and loneliness in an endeavor to garner enough good karma to become human and while we can relate many gamers might not like the idea of playing a character who is reviled by everything and everyone. overall high production value, well thought out and an entertaining system of tranmutations. this tome can be mixed with the others but on the whole promethean don't really play well with others even their own so the story teller might have to make some modifications to make this one work.

Now THIS is a game for the new World of Darkness
Yeah vamps are OK and so cliche in movies, wolfies are crying for been Forsaken, mages take time and a lot of experience to learn their stuff, meh... PROMETHEAN numS are REALLY looking to become human!
How many settings talk about been human? About wanting to get a soul? About to learn how to be something they were and that the animals, people and even Earth scorns for been a blasphemy against natural life?
Yes you also have powers and can become a deadly machine, but in the end the Pilgrimage takes you through Milestones so your Pyros can get purified with the Azoth that lives in you and you can create the Lapis Phillosophorum: a Soul. All this means that you travel to learn what you need to become human. A true human not an animated corpse.

It was very quick to arrive, however it arrived in a overly big box for the book, but it arrived in the condition of which they told me that it would be in. And I was very pleased. But subsequent time maybe a smaller box would be better for the book so it wouldn't flop around during transport.
