Werewolf: The Apocalypse
Werewolf: The Apocalypse depicts the modern world through a werewolf’s eyes. These werewolves are man and wolf, walking the natural and spirit worlds, filled with Rage against the evils that would destroy everything that is. Sacred warriors imbued with power from the spirits of Earth and Moon, they are the doomed heroes screaming defiance in the face of impossibly powerful foes. The world is falling apart, poisoned by powerful corporations and spiritual evils alike, but each werewolf is determined to sell her life dearly. They will not win, but they will never give up.
The second game in the World of Darkness, Werewolf: The Apocalypse roared into hobby games in 1992 and inspired a generation of fans to stand up and howl their defiance at a corrupted world. Its depiction of werewolves as animistic warriors has influenced how modern media portrays shapeshifters far beyond the game industry. In addition to roleplaying books, Onyx Path Publishing offers fiction, art, recipe books, and clothing products for Werewolf: The Apocalypse, as well as re-releasing PDF and print-on-demand copies of over a hundred original books.

Hello,
How are you? Doing well, I hope. I’ve got some fun things for you to get your teeth into. A couple of the sample characters from White Howlers, fresh for your consideration and comments. These are first drafts, content may change between now and the book, et cetera et cetera. But we still hope you enjoy.
Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition is now on sale in PDF and print-on-demand from DriveThruRPG. Seeing it released is an incredible moment for all the writers, artists, editors, and layout bods who worked on the book. The deluxe Kickstarter editions — both “regular Deluxe” and Heavy Metal — will be coming soon. Rich Thomas … Read more
It’s here! Get it now from DriveThruRPG! 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 … Read more
In case you missed it in the Monday Meeting Notes, or indeed don’t read the Monday Meeting Notes, this little bit might be of interest (emphasis mine): Deluxe Werewolf 20th Anniversary Edition: Corrections [for the Deluxe edition —Stew] are with the printer. The W20 PoD proofs are great- we’re going to go live with this … Read more
Edit: I updated the recipe below.
Wow. It’s been a long time. I can only apologise; I’ve been a little overwhelmed with projects, including Blood & Smoke for Vampire: The Requiem, a story for When Will You Rage 2, and a whole bunch of other stuff. That’s no excuse for not posting here, though.
So what’s been going on? Rich is waiting on the third round of W20 PoD proofs from DriveThru, and is getting the interior of the Deluxe W20 to match his color notes. Both the Deluxe and Heavy Metal covers are being prepped for proofing. As always, the best place to look for Deluxe W20 info is the Kickstarter update page.
In case you haven’t seen, we’ve launched the Kickstarter for the Deluxe Exalted 3rd Edition. It hit its goal in 18 minutes, which is just insane. Naturally, it’s racking up the stretch goals.
Speaking of stretch goals, I’ve not forgotten the W20 stretch goals. We’ve got the first drafts of White Howlers coming in soon, and I’ll be sure to get some great excerpts up here for you. I do want to get a bit more of a conversation going about what’s in the book, but I’d much rather the writers do their thing without me constantly leaning over their shoulder. Hopefully, I’ll be able to bring a bit more of a dialogue here with White Howlers.
But what about the W20 Cookbook? Glad you asked! Below the cut is the introduction and recipe for the Bone Gnawers, ripped right from my current draft.
W20: Changing Breeds is out of editing and in Chaney’s hands. This is a beast of a book — no pun intended. The original outline was for 90,000 words. That didn’t last very long. I talked to Rich about upping that to 120,000 words. We ended up at near as damnit 135,000 words — fully half as much again as the original wordcount. And now my eyes are bleeding.
In celebration of completing the Editing Pass of Doom™, I’ve included the introduction to the Ajaba below the jump.
In other news, I’m going to be a guest at Conpulsion in Edinburgh — an easy con to get to as it’s right on my doorstep. I’ll be running some Werewolf: The Apocalypse, including an exclusive sneak preview of the Skinner SAS! Hope to see some local Werewolf fans there!
From speaking with Rich it’s clear that I really should give you fine people an update on one of my pet projects: the W20 Cookbook. This is one of those projects that came out of left field — I joked about writing one with some friends on Google+ during the Kickstarter campaign, and before I … Read more
If you backed W20 on Kickstarter, you should soon see a link to the PDF coming your way. Rich is sending the emails in batches, so it might take a little while for yours to arrive.
And it’s going into W20 now! AS Rich mentions in the latest Kickstarter update, the Index is going into the book now. Once that’s done, every Kickstarter backer gets a PDF to make sure that their name is in right. At the same time, we get files sent off to the PoD and Deluxe printers. … Read more
As I mentioned in the last entry, I do have some news! So let’s get on with it. Book of the Wyrm is finally redlined and back with the writers. RAGE Across the World is out of editing and in Chaney’s capable hands for layout. The White Howlers Tribebook outline is done, and I’ve got … Read more
