I purchased this issue for a single article that presents a medical reasoning for vampirism in Vampire: the MAsquerade, and this one article alone was worth the cover price. The article outlines 'Schere's Disease' a Tremere-developed illness that acts as a way of strengthening the Masquerade. the premise is that this rare genetic disease mimics many of the commonly 'known' manifestations of vampirism, whilst also exhibiting symptoms that can be shown as the roots of myth and legend. The article also provides methos by which kindred may secure documentation to show that they are Schere's sufferers, and makes reference to legislation that will assist the average Cainite in perpetuating this ruse. The article does show its' age (mostly in the manner in which it points out the difficulties of accessing services after dark - something mitigated to a great extent by online services), but the foundational premise is interesting enough to consider for introduction into your game. Likewise the US has established Rare Disease Centres, and provided financial incentives for research and medicine production allied with rare diseases since this article was published, so this would be well worth investigating. That said, I'd still recommend this article to Storytellers as it has application in Vampire chronicles, and could be used in other settings (such as Werewolf) as a plot device).
