I have both played "The Sun Has Set" and told it, and it offers a wide expanse for both playing your own person, and following the plot. It also includes many ways to end the story, so you don't have to get the highly inferior Giovanni 4 to end your chronicle. What I found best however, was the NPC's,who can easily be turned into recurring villians (or allies, and the optional progression as either Sabbat elders, or those weaklings from the Camarilla. It didn't get the total 5 stars because the second half of the book could be focused on certain characters, not the whole party.
