After going through this book White Wolf have done a great job of fleshing out your sterotype mindless warrior. you read on why the Get are so hated by other tribes and why they just don't care. They see themsleves as the saviours of Gaia and you can see why.
This brings you the character and meaning behind their views and their role within the Garou Nation. I would say a must to any GM planning on using this tribe.
The main point I feel the book puts across is the view point of the Get and the Wyrm.
They will happily fight to thier death but after this book you'll understand why!
This is one of the first revised Tribebooks I've seen and it's just packed with plot ideas and hooks with a whole depth of character.

The Get of Fenris tribebook disappointed me in some ways. It's all very nice that they are Gaia's great warriors and that stuff, but I'm pretty p***ed that White Wolf has screwed up almost the entire Nordic Mythology. I'm a Dane, which means that I actually live in the Homeland of the Fenris, so I know about this stuff. I'm sorry to tell you guys, but the Fenris wolf was a monster of chaos, Loke was his father, his brother was "Midgårdsormen" (the Jormungandr, a great chaos worm, which White Wolf has made the Wyrm) and he was part of Jotunnheim. Of course, the Get will have a hard time explaining why their great totem is a monster of chaos and why he's related to the Wyrm, but then, I believe you could have found a better explanation, than to just rewrite a whole mythology, making the Viking God Odin the big bad guy, and his wolves Gere and Freke traitors. I'm just not impressed at all. I could have written that history part a hell lot better, and it would actually be historically correct. Shame on you, White Wolf.
Well let's move on from the history part. Maybe you don't give a damn about the mythology's correctness, and if that's the case, then have fun.
There are a lot of other things in this book. There is a lot about the Fenris society today and how they have spread across the world, the usual view on the auspices, the triat, the litany, the other tribes, and what you would else expect. There are also new gifts and totems. But the Fenris view is very stereotypic. Of course, this doesn't have to be a bad thing, but just so you know.
If you like your werewolves like this; strong, bloodthirsty warriors, then this book is probably for you. Or if you just happens the like the Fenris, then of course, you should buy it. But I didn't find it inspiring, and after all that twaddle about the mythic ages, I just couldn't take it serious. Maybe you can.

The prototype for tribebooks
27 Aug 2004
Everything a tribebook is supposed to be, this book is. No other tribebook does such an excellent job describing the history of the tribe, nor how to correct the stereotypes about the tribe. Add to it the standard amount of "crunchy bits", and very good archtypes, and you have a can't miss tribebook.
