I've recently come into possesion of Fantasy Flight Games Nocturnum (Long Shades/Hollow Winds/Deep Secrets) in the original 1997-1999 printing. My impression from the initial 'skim through' is not that good, though that is due in part to listening to the Exposing Pseudoastronomy podcast (http://podcast.sjrdesign.net/index.html) which makes some aspects of the plot very hard to swallow.
More detailed impressions will follow....
