Laws of the Hunt: Players Guide is sourcebook for Mind's Eye Theater following up on Laws of the Hunt.
Summary[]
- From the White Wolf Catalog:
- The Night Has a Thousand Eyes
- Not everything that hunts the night has fangs. Some stalk its denizens for their own strange purposes. Some seek truth, and woe to anyone who gets in their way. Some are just looking to stay out of the way. And some think they have enough guts to seize a little of the night for themselves. They'd best hope they can, before they're eaten alive....
- And They're Watching You
- Laws of the Hunt Players Guide is the follow up to The Laws of the Hunt and is chock-full of new and exciting tools. Here are new societies, hedge paths and complete character creation for those with sorcerous inclinations. Also included are rules for the terrifying Dauntain, the hunters of the fae and stalkers of dreams. Lastly, new rules for the Reborn, the mummies, who walk the roads between the lands of the dead and the living.

Background Information[]
In the White Wolf 1999 Catalog for Jan.-Jun., the book title was referred to "The Hunter's Tools" before it was changed. The Catalog also has a different text entry for the book:
More Than Human
The creatures of legend hold themselves above the petty powers of mere mortals. Yet by birthright, heritage or arcane training, some mortals inherit powers beyond the scope of the mundane. Sorcerers, Roma and the gifted psychics - the key to puissance is dedication. For the master of the craft, there can be no mere dabbling, only the road to true power.
More Than A Match for the Denizens of the Night
The Hunter's Tools is the complete guide to the furthest reaches of mortal power for Mind's Eye Theatre. Including the heritage of the Roma, the rare powers of dedicated psychics, and new sorcerous paths, this book has everything for the experienced hunter. Master-level sorcery, national influence and organizations that blur the boundaries between mortals and supernaturals raise the stakes of the game.
