It’s here!
Werewolf: The Apocalypse roared into hobby games in 1992, inspiring a generation of fans to stand up and howl their defiance at a corrupted world in a battle they knew they were doomed to lose. WtA presented the Garou: creatures at once both man and wolf, and filled with a Rage against the evils that would destroy and corrupt both the natural and spirit worlds. Capable of transforming into a variety of forms and blessed with Gifts that enabled superhuman and supernatural powers, the Garou fought many foes, always knowing that in the end they would fall. But what stories would be told and what songs sang of their exploits!
This epic tragic story, combined with the unwavering dedication of an unparalleled fan base, is the reason this book is being published. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – 20th Anniversary Edition brings the entire World of Darkness experience full circle and will serve as the perfect anniversary milestone to celebrate two decades of gaming the epic sagas of the Garou.
What’s in it?
• All thirteen original tribes, tribe variants and Lost Tribes, with their signature Gifts and Rites updated from the Werewolf: The Apocalypse Revised tabletop rules.
• Rules for character creation and advancement.
• Gifts from level one through six, including expanded lists.
• Updated setting to the modern nights.
• New full color original art by Ron Spencer, John Bridges, Steve Prescott, Dan Brereton, Richard Kane Ferguson, and other classic “Apocalypse” artists, as well as classic B&W pieces carefully chosen from the earlier editions.
I will be purchasing one of these as quickly as I can muster the finances! 😀
And, I DID put in my order! I went for the Standard color since I’ll have the HME on my shelf. I decided not to go for the B/W since I still think that the color adds to the product enough to pay for that bit of splurging. 🙂
I pledged on Kickstarter for W20 and received a link to download the pdf preview but the last update on drivethrughrpg is dated 2013-04-29 and your news is more recent, how can I get the final pdf version ?
Well… I ordered the Delux edition, hopefully I’ll be getting that within a week.
You did an awesome job with this guys, it was VERY hard to surpass the v20, but you nailed it with this rendition of the classic Werewolf game, which feels powerful, definitive, and epic in theme and mood. I truly hope you will keep this level in Mage 20, my personal favourite from the classic World of Darkness Triunvirate, and also want to raise a question: shall we see 20s editions of Changeling, Hunter and Wraith? Especially the last one, Wraith is a game that NEEDS this. Cheers, Onix Path!
We decided on W20 at GenCon 2011 after seeing V20’s sales. We decided on Mage20 at GenCon 2012 after seeing W20’s sales.
We will doubtless decide on Wraith20 after seeing Mage20’s sales. Anything beyond that is too far down the road to be anything but speculation.
