I'll say openly that I'm no fan of Werewolf. Don't get me wrong, I understand the system and I've played my share of the characters, but werewolves always seem to be played a bit to slash and kill for my taste. Well, you can imagine my surprise when a friend lent me this book and told me, despite my less the cheerful comments on the subject of werewolves, that it wasn't like the others. He was definitely right. Not only are were-ravens extremely interesting, and the book it's self amusing. It's a wonderful change of style from the typical werewolf characters. Were-ravens aren't slash and kill characters, but they have other interesting skills that lend depth to any game I've seen them in. Not only would I suggest this book to were-creature fans, I would suggest it to people who aren't (like me) because if you think that were-wolves are all about death, be prepared for a wonderful surprise.
Everything you could want in a "tribe" book February 10, 2000

The Corax book is everything you could want. It covers just about every angle of the wereravens and what they think of the other residents of the world of darkness. One thing to know is that this book is useful primarily for info on the Corax...it isn't heavy with new abilities but the humorous stuff and info on the Corax and their views are definitely worth it.
a funny book all the way, missing little October 20, 1999

Ok, to all the Garou players out there, the W:TA is not about ripping the gore out of all the (possibly) wyrm tainted creatures, leaving a trace of blood and gaining a lot of >Glory<. The book describes the eyes and ears of Gaia, which is Mother Earth. Corax are no combat addicted, claw slashing, bone mawling power creatures, but rather tend to push the player a bit towards the deeper part of role playing : Solve the Gordian node without a sword. The book is very good, greatly illustrated and very informative. The only part missing is a real outside view (apart from the one in the player's handbook), and information on how the breed interacts with, corresponds to, and is at war with other breeds. Don't get me wrong, I know it's MENTIONED in there, but only the surface of the iceberg is scratched. Then again, I am also missing this in most of the other clan, breed, tribe and kith books...
Worth it just for the history August 7, 1998

Funny does not even start the rewrite of the Triat imbalance or the 'ol how the raven got his black feathers. Even the tribe stuff is so funny it makes the Nuwisha's respective section seem like dry politics. The whole book and the way it is told is great, like stated later a must have for any Werewolf storyteller even if you don't plan on intergrating Corax.
a GREAT book for rpg players anywhere July 27, 2002

The wereravens are the messengers and scouts in the world of Werewolf. The history of the breed is narrated by a humorous Corax, who takes things that you think to be written in biblical style writing, and translates it into modern english (VERY funny)
I suggest this book to anyone who plays Werewolf but is getting tired of strictly garou and wants to add some color to the game.
