Converted from Phorums BB System

Um... heaven forbid someone want the most up to date rules set... they may have been playtested more. If price is the deciding factor here, I think going with the older system is better. But then again, the same can be said of just about every game that ever had a new edition put out.

On a more serious note, I think that the presentation and writing is better in the new Dark Ages: Werewolf. And as stated, there is something actually happening in the world of the Garou with the prophecies. In this edition, you are given more of a blank canvas to work with (and some historical references).

I am consistantly surprised by fans of the old material who aren't impressed with the gains made by the new Dark Ages line.

Now I'm not one to normally prefer a game that has alot of setting bound up with the game rules and the new line is just that (especially with the new 'core' book being DA:Vampire) but it occurs to me that this is point. If you just wanted to play Werewolves without all the extra material, buy WW: The Apocalypse and write your own history.
