I, as a budding ST, had trouble getting a constant werewolf pack together. I bought Bastet, and a new idea formed. The bastet are a much more solitary race at times, and so practically built themselves for a ST and one player session. they have been the most fun I have had STing in a long time

Without repeating the material from the players guide, "Bastet" brought together an entire race of werecreatures who's, in my opinion, society and class even surpasses that of the mokole`! (and garou for that matter..) My players enjoyed the ability to play unique characters, because of our small groups, and for me, not having to orgnize too many NPC's. Tha ajaba(hyena) were a really cool idea, too. Its a shame they turned to Cahlash. Well, me and my ST group(and LARP group) Give bastet a big thumbs up! Definatly a must-have for any true werewolf: the apocolypse ST or player!

Bastet is an expansion of Werewolf the apocalypse. This book contains everything you need to play a were-cat and were-hyena. The werecats include: Jaguars, leapords, lions, tigers, cheetahs, lynx, puma, egyptian cats, and faerie cats. This book contains Much more on the cats than the player's guide does, however, there is still no information on any other kind of cat... like ANY of the little cats. Oh well... This book is still great and does contain new fetishes, rites, and totems (called jamak) that are unique to the werecats.

This sourcebook is a comprehensive guide for designing and running Bastet(werecat) characters in White Wolf's rich World of Darkness setting. Included are the 9 tribes of werecats, ranging from werepanthers to weretigers to werejaguars and beyond, and new traits, merits and flaws, gifts, and rights. Some of the high-level gifts would make a rank-five garou's skin crawl.

My only complaint is the Yava. These are special secrets that each werecat tribe possesses. These secrets are very debilitating and they can prove fatal should your storyteller use them against you. These can potentially add flavor to your story, but handle with care.

Overall though it is a very good sourcebook(No index though. That hurts).

The Bastet are a the big cats in the world of Darkness and fun to play. They are great when pitted against a werewolf and can cause some surprises if played right.

Rock!!!The Bastets are the most interesting bete ever. If your tired of pysco werewolfs tearing stuff up and the drop of a dime then play a baset. This book contains vital information on them and more spiffy stuff. (By the way the yava is totaly optional it says that they are rumors not nececarilaly the truth!)

the bastet are solitary creatures who only join together for a moot, it is this you roleplay. excellent for 1 day gaming.

This book is a must have for anyone who wishes to run one of the feline changing-breeds. This book adds all the items that the tiny section in the players guide missed, such as inter-tribal relations, opinion on the other "races" from other changers to vampires, as well as new gifts and expanded abilities and backgrounds.

This is a sourcebook for the Storyteller System of games, by White Wolf. This book is packed with information on the Bastet. It is in the standard "Tribe book" format and I found it to be very heavy with useful information. Tribe details, templates, stories, characters. New merits and flaws, Backgrounds, abilities, magic. Everything you need to know to create and play a Bastet in the World of Darkness. It's pretty much a must-have for Storytellers.

The book of the Bastet opens up a facet of the world for every gamer who has been fascinated by them in the past. It adds a depth to the Bastet. However, the secrets (Kava I think they're called) are just about the dumbest thing I ever heard. Its possible that the concept of Kava could be used but they shouldn't be listed at all the GM should make them up individually. It altered some of the neater things about some of the werecats from player's guide. However, other than that (both easily changeable) It was a good book and made a unique roleplaying environment.
