Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Welcome to the world of Werewolf: the Apocalypse.
- Werewolf: The Apocalypse is a roleplaying game - a book that details the lives of a society of werewolves that live outside the bounds of human civilization. It offers rules for creating your own werewolf character and describes the world around your werewolf and the war that threatens to engulf him or her. The rest is up to you.
- This booklet is a very simplified version of Werewolf: The Apocalypse; it’s hard to get across even the nuances of the Garou's culture, identity and abilities in less than thirty pages. As such, the rules presented here are frequently altered from the actual rules in the name of simplicity. Everything here is the highlights, the basics of the Werewolf setting and rules -- enough to get you started. Try it out.
