Tribebook: Glass Walkers
Tribebook: Glass Walkers deals with the Glass Walkers tribe during the days leading up to the Apocalypse and with their unique tribal culture and spirituality.
Summary
- Wolves of the City
- Not all werewolves are creatures of the wild woods. Some stalk the city streets, hunting their prey in back alleys and boardrooms. Technology is their ally, and computers are their slaves. They summon up spirits of neon and silicon, striking down their enemies with savage might and high-tech precision. When the war erupts in the city streets, they'll be ready to fight with tooth and claw, with electricity and glass. But have the Glass Walkers given up too much?
- Fang, Claw and Bullet
- The sixth revised Tribebook, Tribebook: Glass Walkers focuses on the most urbane and technologically adept of werewolf tribes. Inside are the secrets of the cyber-tribe's mystic powers over technology, as well as their tactics for fighting the War of the Apocalypse over electronic and concrete battlefields, and the secret camps within the tribe. Let the other werewolves howl around their stone circles and oak trees - with this book, you've got all it takes to fight the real war in the heart of the city.
