More About the Author

Testing, testing. Is this thing on?

*ahem*

Anyway, hi there and welcome to my Amazon.com page. I'm a writer and video game designer, currently residing in Durham, North Carolina and working for Red Storm Entertainment. Officially, my title is Central Clancy Writer, which means I work on many of the Tom Clancy licensed video games, as well as other titles like Might & Magic and Far Cry. In my professional capacity, I fulfill a variety of roles - script doctor, writer, designer, design manager - you name it.

By night, I write horror fiction. My first publication was a paper in the academic journal Lovecraft Studies, and since then I've had four novels, one novella, and a handful of short stories published. Most of what I right seems to fall into a sort of transplanted Southern Gothic, hence the name of my website - http://www.snowbirdgothic.com

4.0 out of 5 stars The Third Member of the Triad Exposed., June 21, 2001

This review is from: *OP Book of the Wyld (Werewolf: The Apocalypse) (Paperback)

" and the Wild was off picking it's toes or something." This the general stereo type I held of The Wyld. Yes it's the fountain of creation, but it had not been given the personification that the other members of the triad had.

Well no more.

The down side of this book: It tries to explain the unexplainable.

The Up Side: It gives insight to what is often the most misunderstood element of the WereWolf game. The book has a good selection of Wyld Fetishes and a couple (2) Rites that can work as good background material. The selection of Wyld spirts is good (20 pages worth, and the Gorgans), and can act as excelent additions to any game (be forwarned some are reprints though). It also incluedes a section on The Storm Eater, if any one was wondering more about it, you'll find some answers. The addition of "thresholds" is also something new to me.

And finaly the warning "The Wild is a doble Edged Sword." Under this topic there is a good section explaining the chaos that is The Wyld. As well as an discusion on insainity (The freind of Chaos) and how close association wiht the Wyld can lead your characters to the depths of madness, and how to deal with it as a storyteller, and player.

All in all a good addition to the White Wolf line-up.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Wyld enough?, July 6, 2001

By 

Yoshitsune (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews

This review is from: *OP Book of the Wyld (Werewolf: The Apocalypse) (Paperback)

"Book of the Wyld" left me with mixed feelings. The book did contain some interesting and useful information; all the new rules would add just the right amount of flavor to any Werewolf story. Unfortunately, this book left me wanting for more; I don't think it was as good as the two previous books about the Wyrm and the Weaver. "Book of the Wyld" could have definitely use some more work, but I think it is worth having in the end if you want add more the Wyld element to your stories.
