Firstly, I can hardly believe that it has been twenty years since I played and GM'd this game. As a fan of the OWoD in general I was planning on buying just the PDF primarily out of nostalgia but after seeing the previews went full ahead and got the premium & PDF combo. I'm so glad I did. This book has reignited my interest in this game and I will be looking to play it as soon as possible.
Stuff I like:
- The new colour art, especially the Tribe illustrations are great.
- It has lot of information about the various sub-groups within the tribes so that each member you meet isn't the same as the last.
- Best of all it has information on all the other shapechanging races that have been mentioned in past books. Whilst this might not be as indepth as the older "monster manuals" for them it at least allows a GM to round out the WoD with a few more interesting creatures.
- Pentex: Just because I love them as a bad guy.
I'm looking forward other W20 releases and will likely go ahead and buy the Vampire 20th and upcoming Mage book (kickstarter willing) with a hope that both Wraith and Changeling follow.
