Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition

English
Horror
Werewolf: The Apocalypse is a gothic-punk tabletop roleplaying game of environmental and spiritual horror, in which players take on Garou, shapeshifting werewolves who fight to protect Gaia from destruction, greed and corruption. It was created by Mark Rein-Hagen and first published by White Wolf in 1992, with a second edition in 1994, a Revised Edition in 2000 and a 20th Anniversary Edition from Onyx Path Publishing. The Fifth Edition, published by Renegade Game Studios and released in August 2023, is a 300-page-plus hardcover for ages 18 and up that uses the 5th edition Storyteller system. It is described as a re-imagining of the game and not a continuation of earlier editions. The system directly evolved from the original Werewolf: The Apocalypse (1992), and it is part of the World of Darkness line. Description Players take on werewolves who see themselves as the planet's immune system, hunting the supernatural forces that would bring about the Apocalypse. In the Fifth Edition, a werewolf is seeking radical solutions to an environmental apocalypse and the world's injustices. The Game Master (GM), called the Storyteller, runs a chronicle in the World of Darkness, and the book covers character creation and guiding a troupe. The game asks a table to engage with heavy themes. The book carries a mature content warning for violence, sexual themes and strong language, and first-edition reviewers noted that its mythology can be a lot to take in. It suits groups who want a story of rage, loss and ecological dread more than a tactical monster hunt.

Hunter: The Reckoning 5th Edition

English
Horror
Hunter: The Reckoning is a horror tabletop roleplaying game about ordinary people who discover the supernatural and take up arms against it, set in the World of Darkness. The original was published by White Wolf in November 1999 as the sixth main game of the World of Darkness line. The 5th Edition (H5), published by Renegade Game Studios in 2022, is built on the Vampire: The Masquerade 5th edition ruleset, with Justin Achilli as series creative lead and Tomas Arfert as art director. The core rulebook is a full-colour hardcover that was an ENNIE Award nominee for Best Rules in 2023. A companion Hunter: The Reckoning Dice Set and a Character Journal were announced alongside it. The system directly evolved from Hunter: The Reckoning (1999), and it shares its ruleset with Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition, another entry in the World of Darkness. Description Players take on hunters, humans with jobs, families and debts who have stumbled on the monsters around them. The Storyteller, the game's name for its Game Master (GM), runs a chronicle in which the group tracks down vampires, werewolves, ghosts and other threats while trying to keep their ordinary lives together. In the original, hunters were granted power by mysterious Heralds or Messengers, and they coordinated through an anonymous online forum called Hunter-Net. In H5, hunters are not imbued, and the game focuses on the human side of the work. The game asks a table to hold a particular tone. The Renegade page calls it "a storytelling game of desperate measures", and its themes include righteous fury, paranoia, hope and the cost of keeping a normal life. It suits groups who like dark urban fiction and fragile characters, more than groups that want a power fantasy.
