This book is a love letter to a certain stereotype of White Wolf gameplay back in the mid Nineties. Trenchcoats, katanas, and sawed-off shotguns abounded (and this was even before The Matrix). While it exists as an April Fool’s Day parody it is indeed full of awesome, offensive ideas which I might actually use at the table. The Beast-Rider Cometh optional rule for instance would be great in a Changeling : the Lost campaign. These rules hacks are short and sweet, if you do use them in jest or not it won’t cause any serious arguments at the table, perhaps because you’re all drunk off a case of Four Loko to best utilize this material. This book is seriously amazing. Chuck Wendig delivers the sarcasm lathered on thick and hot. I really could have used it back when I was running a game that included a werecoytote who knew martial arts and a guy who could transform into a dragon-like creature armed with a handgun that also grew to the size of a Howitzer. It could have actually been enjoyable and ridiculous. Don’t be haughty, you know at some time in your extended adolescence you got silly like this. If not, take off that Burning Wheel hoodie and get DIRTY! ( )
