Good recent nWoD / Exalted books?

[Darkness]

I'm looking to buy some books, but am a little out of the loop. So please recommend some good books that were released within the last year or so, for any of the following games:

World of Darkness (Inferno and Slashers sound interesting.)
Vampire: The Requiem (I suspect there won't be much besides clanbooks, which don't interest me too much right now.)
Hunter: The Vigil (I don't have any supplements for this.)
Possibly other nWoD lines, if there's a really outstanding book.
Exalted

Slasher is amazing. Get it. Love it. Use it.

Possibly off topic as it's a whole new WoD game, but have you considered Promethean? ;p

Inferno is pretty nice too. Plus, it includes rules on playing demonically possessed humans.

I gotta get Slashers still...

I think most of the 2E exalted books have been fantastic! They are that good.

Immortal Sinners, which I haven't read, looks like an interesting read and idea for vampire.

Slashers is good as well although I haven't read all of it.

Infernals has been VERY good! Some very good ideas about how to create a demon antagonist.

In general, I have found most nWoD and Exalted 2E products to be exceptional. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

Slashers is for Hunter I thought. Still a good book.

The Changeling books are really good. I like Hunter as well.

I have truly enjoyed the Changeling line of books; Vampire and Werewolf never really floated my boat. And I love the system for Mage, but not the background material.

Hunter really caught me by surprise -- the original Hunter line (OWoD) didn't make it for me at all, but the range of approaches to being a hunter under the new book is nothing shy of amazing. I have not gotten ahold of Slasher yet, but I look forward to reading it.

Yeah. Hunter is great. I was underwhelmed my the oWoD Hunter and figured the new version would either be similar or would be nothing I couldn't do with the core WoD book. Boy, was I wrong. I guess, technically, I could do most of what I want with the core book, the amount of interesting hooks in H:tV is worth the price. I plan on running an unaffiliated game, but the descriptions of the compacts and conspiracies is still a wonderful read and there's plenty of other info, too.

Possibly off topic as it's a whole new WoD game, but have you considered Promethean? ;p

I must second this statement. Promethean is a awesome game, probably my favourite RPG. It is hard to find people willing to play, but once you do, pure awesome.

Changeling: The Lost is also extremely excellent. Tons of different things you can do with them, and the atmosphere is perfectly crafted.

 

[ProfessorCirno]

Slasher is a Hunter book, but it can almost be played as it's own game.

It's also probably the darkest (possible pun) of the WoD books, old or new.

Hunter: the Reckoning was spectacularly abysmal. Glad to hear HtV is working out well for folks though. Might look into it sometime, if the local WoD-heads (er, the ones I happen to know, anyhow) come to like it.

What's so dark about Slasher? Apart from [presumably] being about serial killers and the like, obviously.
