Reception

Stewart Wieck, the editor-in-chief of White Wolf Magazine, stated in 1988 that, although of "lesser quality, the character pictures could be used as visuals to help players focus on the fact that they are talking to an actual person, not a faceless bystander." He also observed that, "If you have trouble naming characters, then the list will do you good. The diagrams are interesting and apparently historically accurate.[2]
