4.0 out of 5 stars
No place like home, May 21, 2001
This review is from: *OP Guardians of the Caerns (Werewolf: The Apocalypse) (Paperback)
Guardians indeed. For all those who enjoy their home and hearth close by - this is the book for you. It featurs the intense atmosphere associated with the caern, guidlines refering to pecuilar way each tribe (and the other be'te as well) views its caerns, expanded rules concerning those who always get left behind to caern-sit (the metis - including new gifts, merits and flaws, and deformities), and in-depth system about the building of the holiest of all places. Overall? not a bad piece at all. I think some expanding about the spirit totems and umbrascape could do no harm, but that note put aside, what you have here is a good book detailing (almost) everything you need to run a caern gaurding story. Or the building of one. Or its destruction. He he.

A book far more useful than Caerns, Places of Power, September 14, 2002
This review is from: *OP Guardians of the Caerns (Werewolf: The Apocalypse) (Paperback)
Finally! A book that REALLY describes the way a generic caern (or one that you make) should work. This volume is not just a compilation of caerns from around the world and some glossy description of how a caern should work. This explians in depth traditional and necessary offices, moots, totem spirits, and even how metis are treated within the caern as they grow up. it has metis specific merits and flaws as well as a list of all the white wolf generated metis deformities in one handy list. Finally we can all add some real flavor to both our caerns and our metis. :-)

Scummy Mules: Revealed!, September 4, 2002
This review is from: *OP Guardians of the Caerns (Werewolf: The Apocalypse) (Paperback)
Time and time again, I run across statements like: 'metis are hated by every tribe.' This prompted me to recommend one of my favorite supplement sections. The last and best chapter of this book is all about metis. It is a complete discussion about the biological, social, emotional and physical issues of conceiving, bearing, birthing, caring, feeding, raising, teaching and packing with the half-breeds. It has an exhaustive list of deformities. And a complex mosaic of opinions about them, including viewpoints both from within and without the various Garou tribes and Fera breeds. The metis question is not an easy one to answer. This 'mini-breedbook' goes a long way towards illustrating the complex knot that are the metis.
