White Wolf Publishing, 2006

Exalted 2nd Edition
If you're tired of the archtypical Fantasy RPG, if you like Anime and Manga, and want to be able to destroy armies single-handedly, then Exalted is for you. Unlike other RPGs where you begin barely able to hold your own against an angry goblin, in Exalted you begin as ...

Promethean: The Created (Promethean)

White Wolf Publishing, 2006

Simply Amazing
Mature, well-written, rich both in dramatic ambience and in-game setting. Promethean could well be considered the New World of Darkness' top game of top games. Sure Vampire, Mage, Werewolf, Hunter and Changeling are fantastic - and the World of Darkness generals alike ...

Scion God (Scion)

Alan Alexander, Carl Bowen, ...

White Wolf Publishing, 2008

A beautiful and amazing book
Having read the previous review below (or above) I had to post a review myself. This game is the final of a trilogy of books that cover an amazingly popular and IMO well developed role playing game. Herein you play the scion (or son) of a god of myth. Whether you ...

Aberrant Project Utopia (Aberrant)

Carl Bowen

White Wolf Publishing, 1999

A little bland but good for your health
White Wolf tends to give a better thought to the bad guys than to the good guys. At best they are portrayed as good intentioned guys but with the wrong ideas. This is not the exception, i liked the book, but a lot of what it contains could have been out and never been ...

Carl Bowen

Exalted 2nd Abyssals (Exalted Second Edition)

Alan Alexander, Carl Bowen, ...

White Wolf Publishing, 2008

Amazing Corebook
Exalted Abyssals (Exalted Second Edition) This is an amazing corebook. Period. Has a lot of ideas, potential, cool Charms (although most are Mirrors of the Solar Charms) and good view of what the Deathlords are, their plans, metaplot, ideas, vague description of ...

Silent Striders & Black Furies (Werewolf: The Apocalypse: Tribe Novel, Book 2)

Carl Bowen

White Wolf Publishing, 2001

Yeah!
Finally some good reading towards WtA. I loved how each novella zeros in on that tribe and yet keeps the big picture in view. Kinda bummed about some of the storylines. But at the end of the black furies novel, I am sitting at the edge of my seat wondering what's going ...

Exalted Scroll of the Monk (Exalted)

Carl Bowen, Lydia Laurenson, ...

White Wolf Publishing, 2006

White Wolf has set the bar for Scrolls of Esoteric Wisdom
The Scrolls of Esoteric Wisdom Volume I: Scroll of the Monk (Note: the cover does not mention the Esoteric Wisdom part, but the ad for the Scroll of Lesser Races [sidebar, p.2] mentions that it is the Esoteric Wisdom series) has set the bar for quality of this series ...

Manual of Exalted Power: Sidereals

Alan Alexander, Carl Bowen, ...

White Wolf Publishing, 2007

Superb Book, Some Mechanics Difficulties
Those not familiar with Exalted, please seek out the Core Rulebook first. The Second Edition update of the Sidereals is a superb book, made much more readable, understandable, and enjoyable by the removal of information on Yu-Shan to the Compass of Celestial ...

*OP Guide to the Anarchs

Justin Achilli, Carl Bowen, ...

White Wolf Publishing, 2002

Going a different route
Tired of dealing with the support or restraint of your sire? Playing an Anarch can be fun and there is a lot of insight along with new things to consider when you lack a power base. Freedom and new responsibilities go hand in hand, being an Anarch means enjoying more ...

Aberrant: The Directive (Aberrant Roleplaying, WW8521)

Carl Bowen, Kyle Olson, ...

White Wolf Publishing, 2000

Counter Conspiracy Goodness
Unlike the rest of the Aberrant books, I didn't order this one as soon as it came out. I waited until the "Elites" book came out and ordered them together. This book actually turned out to be the better of the two. Unlike the "Elites" book which relies on bang 'em ...

Ravenloft Gazetteer II: Legacies of Terror (Ravenloft d20 3.0 Fantasy Roleplaying)

Deird're Brooks, Philippe Boulle, ...

Arthaus, 2003

Good from begining to end.
The Second of the Gazetteer's is an absoulutly solid product, We get an update and a real good look at one of the largest domains in Ravenloft, Darkon. Also are some really detailed looks at Necropolis, Lamordia, and Falkovnia. My personal favorite was Lamordia as I ...

*OP Predator & Prey Mage (Hunter, the Reckoning, Book 5)

Carl Bowen

White Wolf Publishing, 2002

A Bit Bland.
Predator & Prey: Mage continues the series of books based in the Michigan area that are loosely set around hunters - "normal" humans that find themselves suddenly imbued with powers to battle the undead. A few of the locations and characters will be familiar to fans of ...

Exalted Volume 1

Carl Bowen, Gala Ferriere, ...

Udon Entertainment, 2007

A great introduction to the Exalted campaign setting.
My little brother bought this for me for my most recent birthday, as he knew I was planning an Exalted 2nd Ed. game. The book itself is decent, with terrific art. When I say terrific, I'm not implying that it might be award-worthy, but that it captures the ...
