My players want me to run Werewolf

[Shining Dragon]

...much shippage... They are cursed by a boundless rage that can drive them into insane berserker frenzies.

And they also eat Vampires for breakfast.

Depending on how you run it, Changeling: the Dreaming is actually closer to D&D; considering the princesses, dragon slaying, plate mail, knights, thieving rogues and etc, it could definitely, easily be spun to something closer to D&D than Werewolf.

With that said, if you're looking for essentially an out and out World of Darkness game for bloodshed or hack and slashing, Werewolf is probably the best suited to it. There's definitely more to it then that - it's also a highly spiritual game, with a more universal and down to earth feel then some of the other World of Darkness games (it's more akin to being the fireman then rock n' roll star, for example), but, if you're just getting into it and not sure on how to go about things, it's also the easiest to get away with just lots of combat while you get the hang of things.

However, that's Werewolf: the Apocalpyse. Don't have much of a clue what Werewolf: the Forsaken is going to look like. Might be completely different. With that said, I really, really like Werewolf: the Apocalypse. Definitely my favorite of the World of Darkness games. I'm really sad to see it go (along with Changeling, but that's been dead for a while now). Also the only one that really had a strong, end of the world element to it...but, I'm starting to spin off the topic here so I'll end this now.

Well, there are still tow sotres we have not checked because they were closed. So hopefully one of them will have a copy.

Amazon has a few. I'd probably just order it on-line.

Just remember there are three editions of the game (1st, 2nd, and Revised). I normally play second edition.

I really need to put in my sig that I can not buy online.

To summarize - Werewolf: the Apocalypse: entertaining bloodbath at the very least, deep and spiritual bloodbath if you really get into the roleplaying.
Werewolf: the Forsaken: not out until beginning of 2005.

That helps a lot. Well anyways, looks like the only thing I can do is look for it around where I live.

If you do decide not to wait for Werewolf: The Forsaken and go and buy Werewolf: The Apocalypse, I've heard Revised Edition is remarkably good compared to 1st and 2nd Editions.

Agreed with Impeesa - I've had Werewolf games degenerate into combat-fests... but I also ran one campaign (called a Chronicle in the Storyteller system) that had essentially no combat for six game sessions, and was a fantastic spiritual journey, involved some excellent politics, and all the fun of trying to make a small pack work together, while trying to make a place for itself in a much larger pack.

The players walked away LOVING werewolf. Every game thereafter was sadly disappointing however.
