How the West was Lost.

I've heard rumours that White Wolf may be cancelling this game line in the near future. If so, its a damn shame. Werewolf: The Wild West is easily one of the finest gaming systems I've come across, and certainly one of the most original. In the game, you assume the role of one of the Garou, the werewolf defenders of the earth goddess Gaia. The time is the late nineteenth century, and the westward expansion of European " Manifest Destiny " is leading to great disturbance and chaos. An ancient entity, the Storm Eater, has been unleashed upon the spirit world, and its power is leaking into the real world of the west. Thats the barest description of what this game is about. The Garou are a culture more intricate by far than that of the Kindred (vampires). The game is pretty bang-on with historical accuracy, the artwork is superior, and the system is easy and fun to learn. White Wolf emphasizes character and drama over cold game mechanics, and thats what makes this game superior. If you're looking for a game with passion, of a last chance to save the world from Apocalypse, this is the game for you. Its not for the squeamish, though. But if you've got the sand, then strap on your six shooter and saddle up. We got us a world to save.
