Very Nice indeed....
Werewolf:TA is a great book, and adds alot to the World of Darkness. The Book is well written, and can hold its own next to Vampire:TM. The Systems of the Game work like in Vampire:TM, and people can smoothly go from Vampire:TM to Werewolf:TA without much problems...People may cry that the Garou(Werewolves) are too strong, but in fact they are only powerful in combat. Sure even a Elder Vampire could fall to a low ranking Garou, but a Vampire with a Discipline that allows mind control of a target can make the mightest of Garou fall before him. If you are looking for a Game that has bloody Combat and Great role-playing, this IS the book for you. I plain on giving out a few copies as gifts myself.

Werewolf Main Rulebook (Storyteller System from White Wolf)
This game offers both combat and spiritual/mystical exploration as options. The focus here is on the Garou, the Werewolves. They see themselves as the last real defenders of Gaia, battling to avert or delay the Apocalypse. Gothic Horror with a dark and gritty feel to it, set in the World of Darkness setting. Players take the role of Garou, choosing Tribe and Breed (Homids, born from human mothers, Lupus, born from wolf parentage or Metis, the deformed offspring of two Garou) and Auspice (the phase of the moon one was born under). There are some very good sections of historical and cultural information...the Garou are not human, have never been human. The Changing Breed stands apart, hiding from the masses of humankind and fighting a very deadly and silent war that they are slowly losing as they near extinction as a people

Wonderful... but what it spawned.. MAGNIFICENT!!!
I bought the Werewolf books (screens, tribebooks, etc.) because of Ratkin, Changing Breeds Book Five. Now that book is incredible!! Weave the Werewolf and Vampire mythos in with the wererats own, and you've got a highly complex society. And the wererats are angry at what the werewolves did to them. I highly recommend any World of Darkness book... but if you start with one of these small and self contained Changing Breeds books, you can't go wrong. I started out on WoD with Vampire: The Masquerade, but it lacked something for me... and was far too... civilized!! Ratkin, Servietors of the Wyld.... Beware the Weaver and the Wyrm.
