Interpretation Supposing Books Guide to the Sabbat (Vampire: the Masquerade)
Shadows of the Elders WarThe Sabbat are depraved monsters, reveling in their Damned state and herding the kine about them like cattle. Or so it would seem to the uninitiated. In truth, the Sabbat wage a secret war on the elders, struggling night after night to free themselves from the tyranny of the dread Antediluvians and the Jyhad itself. But are their tactics effective or simply horrific?
Cast by the Fires of the Packs
The Guide to the Sabbat examines the Sabbat exhaustively from the antitribu, or "anti-clans" that populate its ranks to the terrifying Disciplines they use to their methods of waging war on the Camarilla and Antediluvians alike. This book also explores the progress the Sabbat have made in their war effort, chronicling their inexorable climb over the East Coast of the United States and their usurped territories in the Old World.
The Guide to the Sabbat includes:
* An updated, definitive look at the sect and its role in the Final Nights;
* New bloodlines, Disciplines and layers of intrigue in the Jyhad
* The secrets and schemes of the most reviled sect of vampires ever to walk the night.

Before I read this book, the Sabbat just seemed like a bunch of crazy, stupid, violent vampires. I wasn't really very interested in reading about them further. However, after reading this book, my opinion on them changed significantly.This book fleshes out a group of vampiric zealots in way that makes them have their own rules, priorities, and virtues, though it's also balanced out by very violent tendencies and a lack of common sense. It also does a good job of painting a portrait of how theyOne thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach; all the damn vampires.-Grandpa, Lost BoysIt's relatively easy to look at the Sabbat as the villains of Vampire, and earlier in the line that's basically what they were.

While I found much of the material in the Guide to the Sabbat to be both well written and capable of expanding the World of Darkness, the mechanics introduced tended to kill what Vampire: The Masquerade was about. The Sabbat "paths" (effectively philosophies) neutered the humanity (or shadow thereof) in the vampires and led to too many players seeking to play bloodthirsty monsters without any form of restraint.I cannot imagine that anyone is looking to read it these days, but I would recommend
The equivalent of the mainstream Camarilla Vampires, with a decidedly antagonistic ideological difference. Freedom, Freedom, let Freedom Ring!This rpg book really opened my eyes to what was originally the antagonists in the previous vampire games I'd played. Things definitely aren't as they seem, and the exploration of what makes anyone human is the most engrossing part of the gameplay. It's not about blood and guts, although there is plenty of that. It's more about exploration and viewpoint,
