White Wolf Magazine

White Wolf Magazine was a gaming-oriented magazine which, around the publication of issue #25 in 1991, merged with Lion Rampant to found White Wolf Game Studio. Despite the merger, the magazine continued to feature content for other publishers' roleplaying games, although an increasing amount of content was devoted to Ars Magica and, later, the World of Darkness games. Originally published on a bimonthly basis, the magazine switched to monthly publication with issue #41 (March 1994).

Stylistically, the magazine can be divided into four eras:

  1. Issue 1 to Issue 7 had hand-drawn covers. While the title logo for the first two issues were the same, each subsequent logo was uniquely drawn for that issue.
  2. Issue 8 to Issue 36 gained a new proper logo with a background that appeared to have been ripped by a wolf claw.
    • For Issue 8 to Issue 17, the art was full-page, and the logo relegated to a small box in the corner.
    • For Issue 18 to Issue 36, the art was inset, taking up about 75% of the page set in the lower-right, and then the logo and claw background took up the remaining space to the top and left of the page.
  3. Issue 37 to Issue 49 returned the art to full-page and reduced the logo to a box, centered this time instead of in a corner. The claw-rip background remained largely the same, but the logo font had changed.
  4. Issue 50 to Issue 57 renamed the magazine to "Inphobia."
    • Issue 50 to Issue 52 used an all-caps logo ("INPHOBIA").
    • Issue 53 to Issue 57 used a lower-case logo ("inphobia").

With issue #50 (December 1994), the name of the magazine was changed to White Wolf Inphobia, and its focus broadened to include collectible card games, including the World of Darkness-based games Jyhad (later renamed Vampire: The Eternal Struggle) and Rage. The magazine was cancelled with issue #57, the July 1995 issue.

White Wolf Magazine's most notable issues may be issue #26, which included a preview booklet for the then-forthcoming roleplaying game Vampire: The Masquerade. "Legacy Rite", the full-color comic book that appeared in the Werewolf: The Apocalypse Second Edition rulebook, was originally serialized in six parts from White Wolf Magazine issues #39-#44 (November 1993-June 1994).
