Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand

Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand is a supplement published by White Wolf Publishing in 1994 for the modern-day horror role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade.

Contents

Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand, by Steven C. Brown, explores the Sabbat subsect known as the Black Hand, and its history and goals. It introduces the Tal'mahe'Ra, an ancient cult at the center of the Black Hand, and its attempts to subvert the Black Hand for its own purposes, as well as its influence among the Camarilla, Inconnu and independents.[1] The book also details new spells and powers.[2]

Reception

In the November 1995 edition of Dragon (Issue #223), Rick Swan commented, "Grisly and humorless, Black Hand is the role-playing equivalent of a splatter movie — hard-core players should take that as a recommendation."[2] Vintage RPG suggested the book was an attempt to create opportunities to play in games that mixed different supernatural creatures (such as vampires, werewolves and mages), but that this made the supplement incoherent.[3]
