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.

I’m not sure how many of you tuned in to the Darker Days Radio interviewcast-thing that we did on Saturday. If not, you might want to go give it a watch/listen. In it, I touched on something that’s got a lot of people excited about Changing Breeds—the presence of the Lost Breeds, and how they … Read more
I’ve been in the pelt-mines working on Skinner this weekend. It’s running on some audacious ambitions, I think. I want it to be up to my personal standard of a story in that it needs to be adaptable. I’m a huge believer that a story’s plot should never be a script, and therefore the scenes … Read more
As we wait for Rich to finalize details of the Werewolf20 Kickstarter, it’s time to look to the future. As those of you who’ve read the release schedule are no doubt aware, Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition is just the start. In addition to the Skinner SAS, we’ve got three new books in the … Read more
Let’s put something out on the table. A little confession, if you will. The SAS is the hardest thing I have ever written. I’m not saying this to complain, mind. A challenge is a good thing. It makes you fiercer. But of all the things I’ve ever written, writing a story that someone else is … Read more
Apologies for it being so long between updates. Actually, there’s not much to show in development right now: Werewolf is moving from editing to layout, so it’s been quiet on my side. Right now I’m devoting most of my time to working on the Skinner SAS and waiting with dread for layout to move to … Read more
First things first. Let me state that I really appreciate all the feedback we get on these posts. Clearly we’re not going to be able to make everyone happy when you have different factions wanting different things out of the book, but it’s nice to not damn the torpedoes and forge ahead blindly. We like … Read more
One of the chapters of W20 is the Allies chapter: Kinfolk, spirits and totems, and yes, we’re putting some bits of the Lost Tribes in there. This shouldn’t be a surprise, since you’ve already seen the sketches. Well, here’s a stab at the format. We’re not using advanced metaplot to make them show up in … Read more
Short post today, heavy audience participation with luck. Werewolf‘s built on an interesting framework. It incorporates myth, zoology, ecology, and splatter horror into a combination that manages to work as a whole. It’s hard to imagine another game that could be prepped for by consuming Silent Spring, Egil’s Saga, The Mind of the Raven and … Read more
Right now I’m deeply involved with Chapter Nine: The Enemy. I understand this is something that will have a lot of you particularly interested, what with Black Spiral Dancers, a number of fomori powers rapidly approaching that of the original Freak Legion itself, Banes and other spirits, other supernaturals, and a treatment of Pentex — … Read more
And the winner, with a grand total of two people suggesting their names: the Glass Walkers! Which is an interesting group either way you look at it, because also they’re one of the few tribes that gets a bonus camp Gift list (now with corrected spelling. I hope). Glass Walkers Many Glass Walker Gifts involve … Read more
