Ratkin

Summary: amazing awesome book from our white wolf friends!
Review: Breedbook Ratkin is, I have to say, one of the best breedbooks to date. Along with a very much expanded history from the rat's point of view, it includes all those nifty gifts and fetishes that the ratkin use well and often(circular saw blade launcher, anyone?). It also includes the 4 auspices from the player's giude and 4 new types as well, some of which are plain wicked. For example, the twitchers, a new type of berserker-warrior, frenzy at difficulty 4. All the time!! That means you have chance of frenzying at something as trivial as dropping your coffee-spoon(extreme example, but you get the idea...). All in all, a must have book for Werewolf players and Ratkin fans alike.

Summary: Honestly, my favorite of ALL WoD books
Review: I started down the path of WoD through Vampire: The Masquerade, but it lacked something for me. I glanced through Werewolf: The Apocolypse books, but never really had the "need" to buy them. When Ratkin (Changing Breeds book 5) I bought it IMMEDIATELY. And I was NOT dissappointed. The artwork, as always, is incredible, the writing is wonderful... and above all, the characters are exciting. Rats are social animals, but not necessarily heirarchial like so Wolves or whatever, and so much more Wyld (chaotic)!!!! Who wouldn't want to be able to shift from 7 and a half feet tall to a mere 6 inches? How about a prehensile tale? The philosophy developed in this book is incredible, the details of aspects and ways of life, the incredible varieties of characters allowed... just wonderful! Playing in my living room wasn't enough, so I started a White Wolf system play by email! Ratkin ROCKS!!!!

Summary: A Great Source of "Gimmies," But Logic-Impaired
Review: Like so many White Wolf expansion books, this one pulls the rug out from under the Storyteller by reversing many of the earlier sourcebooks' assumptions and by loading down player-characters with previously unavailable goodies. Nothing new so far, but this time the changed premises are really silly. Rattus norvegicus, the Norway rat (which the book keeps pointing out is THE rat we're talking about) is a parasite on Homo sapiens. It couldn't survive in anything like its present numbers without man and his works, such as apartment buildings and grain silos. So the Norway rat would necessarily be a great friend of the Weaver, no? NO! Also, remember that Rat is the Totem Spirit of the Bone Gnawer tribe. So Rat must be pretty confused, or pretty disgusted, by the Ratkins' determination to exterminate all Garou without regard to tribe. And then you have the ability of some Ratkin to enter a cartoon realm and/or use cartoon abilities just because rats often feature in Saturday morning cartoons (e.g. Pinky and the Brain). In sum, the Ratkins presented in this sourcebook are slavering cartoonified lunatics dedicated to bringing civilization crashing down around their own ears for - no reason in particular. If that sounds like fun to you, hey, knock yourself out.

Summary: A great title from White Wolf
Review: Now you too can be one of the rats. Included are the rules for playing as one of the freak aspects, ratkin aspects formed in the modern day which represent some of the most bizarre and awesome characters possible in your troupe. Enjoy this one!

Summary: rats rule!
Review: Okay, I've been waiting or this breed book to come out for years! Ever since I first read about the ratkin in the WWTA players handbook. Me and all my Fuzzy, squeaky kin agree that this is a book worth having. Freaky, freaky stuff!
