Kithbook: Pooka is a wonderful guide to the shapechanging trickster of the Changeling World. However, it's out of print and the only copies I've seen are being offered for absolutely OBSCENE prices. It's fun, but unless you are a hardcore collector, it's NOT worth THAT much.

Lobby White Wolf: perhaps they will reissue it on electronic media, if not paper

No way is this book worth the money being asked for it. People are trying to capitalize on the nostalgia players have for this excellent and out of print RPG. Yes the books are getting tough to find and Pooka happens to be a rare one. That doesn't mean a buyer should have to rationalize dishing out over $50 for this paperback that's less than what? 60 pages? I saw here on Amazon someone is asking for almost $300. I can appreciate being a collector but that kind of price tag is pure comedy. My personal recommendation is search for this book for under $30 at MOST. As an owner of this book, I can vouch that it's as fun and nifty to have as you might think, but it's not worth most of your paycheck.

As an active Roleplayer, storyteller and Game Mistress, you can say i have read my fair share of compendiums and manuals. When i recently got involved in a Live Action Role Playing game near where i lived, and we played White Wolf's Changling; the Dreaming, our players all tried to line up their characters with what they would be as themselves in real life, to make things a bit easier.

Well, reading the Pooka Kithbook certainly helped me. Everyone in my group loves this book, and is jealous that i play such a kind of character. Pooka can fit into any realm of playability and this book not only outlines a valid history, but also adds a pooka-esque twist, which is always a plus.

The Pooka Kithbook has new merits, and flaws, treasures and roleplaying hints for these complicated characters. And just when you thought a pooka was a cute furry liar, it goes into the more dangerous and exotic Pooka, rare pooka and kith Natures and Demeanors, which i don't want to give away!

All in all, i give this book a massive two paws, two fins, two claws, two hooves... what ever you may have, way up! For any table top or live action player of White Wolf's games, this book is a must on top of a must!

I find the book very usefull if you play a pooka. It gives special rules in ore depth and their own flaws and merits. I would highly reccoend getting it if you play or intend on playing a pooka.

Yet, another reason to love Pookas! This book is full of many things you wanted to know about Pookas! Merits/flaws, Treasures, Information, etc! I reccomend this book as one of the best in the Kithbook series (then again I just like Pookas). If you've ever wondered about the Playful, energetic Pookas, you need this book. I highly suggest it.

The pooka kithbook is yet another great book published by white-wolf. Kudos to the great writers at WW. I have read the book cover to cover and I found it entertaining as well as informative. The artwork is amaizing. Granted it is the only kithbook in black in white , it's information on this kith make up for the lack of color. I reccomend this book to any Changeling player or any one who wants to know what a pooka is. Carol Grimsley

When buying my product, I was under the impression that it was a new book since it was listed under the "new" label. When I received the book, I could already tell that book's condition was not according to the "new" description. There were very noticeable bend marks where one would place a thumb at the edge of the book to leaf through it, and there were marks at the binding where the book had been bent. Nevertheless, I am pleased to receive it in great shipping time, but disappointed in its condition.

I was desperately looking forward to this book... I am an avid pooka player.. but when I finally got my mits on it I nearly cried. This book just seemed like they took Werewolf and tried to put Changeling face on it... This is a grave let down and disappointment for someone who's waited years to see this book.
