Spoilers!!!!!!!!!



































Total Eclipse is a moderately good adventure IMO, except for the concept of a
Vampire with an absolutely unthinkable attribute or two for a hitman/assassin
type. Eclipse, the name of the Spider Shaman that is one of the primary
characters (ignoring the band), isn't too bad, but his background story sparks
massive amounts of discussion on whether or not a "shaman" ever has to be
magically active in the same manner as a Hermetic magician.

On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the best, I'd put it somewhere in the 3-4 range.
But then, we used Eclipse and the Free Spirit pal of his as enemies later on
down the road because the game didn't go anywhere near *close* to the book by
the time the players were done with it.
