Summary[]
From the seller's page:

- Our howls are recorded here. Howls against Pentex, against Black Spiral Dancers, against Skull Pigs, against unknowing humans caught in the Wyrm’s thrall.

- Three full chronicles for your groups to play, introducing them to different aspects of Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition.
- New powers to use in your war against the Wyrm.
