Product Description
From the Author
A story of heroes, wolf and human, all too mortal
I had a terrific time writing this book! What I sought to convey was a mingling of sadness and pride; Kinfolk may regret not being werewolves, but they're proud of the part they share in the Garou heritage, too. I'd enjoy hearing from folks who use this book in their chronicles.

Wowee. You get to play a person who knows about Garou and the Wyrm, but with no actual powers? Kinda like being Frank Stallone or Roger Clinton. I bought this book mainly to find out what it was to be a Kinfolk. And granted, there's a lot of informative stuff in here. But the book tends to be less than expected. While the chance to be even more of an outsider in the World of Darkness might appeal to some, this book is of more use as a one-shot game than any part of a serious chronicle. Save your dough.

I've played a Shadow Lord woman trying to atone for her mother's ..er.. idiocy (and dropped a few jaws while doing so), a Fianna who runs the pub with her husband, and an Uktena who married a Shadow Lord (and is now expecting twin Ragabash girls). My husband had a blast playing a Black Fury male. A great synopsis of how the tribes relate to their Kin, written from the POV of a Fianna Kin. My only problem is that to get all the Numina, you need two or three other books. This book gives great templates and directions for creating human and wolf Kin, as well as ideas for creating Kin for other Changers. Gives a rundown on BSD Kin, as well as the infamous SkinDancers. You know, the ones that ruined it even more for the other Kin.

Not bad

Format:Paperback
I thought that it was a very good book, it had everything you want to know about kinfolk and more, it told the differences the kin have towards each other, it even had discriptions about the black spiral kin.
A good book for players, and excellent book for STs.

The thing to understand about Kinfolk is, even though it is a book with rules for creating characters, this is not a product for players of werewolf games unless you are really wanting something unusual. The best application of this publication is the creation of NPCs and allies. Storytellers get information to add a great deal of depth to the supporting group of Werewolf, kinfolk.
This is part of the Year of Allies run, and is a sister book to Ascension's Right Hand and the Ghoul book. This book allows players to play an almost unimpressive human, with only a slight gnosis rating at best and a shot-gun standing between them and the creatures of the night. However a storyteller that really puts the extra effort into their games can detail their NPCs heavily with this book. I would suggest it as reading for players to get a better understanding of the world, but every storyteller needs access to this book, even if you aren't playing a Werewolf game just so they can design something new for those vampires to fight.
