Bezier Announces “Ultimate Werewolf: Ultimate Edition”

From Bezier Games comes the following announcement:

Ultimate Werewolf: Ultimate Edition announced!

Bezier Games is proud to announce the definitive edition of the wildly popular Ultimate Werewolf game. This new “Ultimate Edition” is a completely new, professionally printed and packaged version of Ultimate Werewolf, with great new characters and scenarios in a compact, gorgeously-designed box. It now supports anywhere from 5 to 68 (that’s right, sixty-eight!) players at once, in a single game or through multiple concurrent games. There are more than 40 characters in the set, including several that have never been seen in a werewolf-like game before. If you’re a back-to-basics kind of gamer, you’ll appreciate that Ultimate werewolf ships with 20 villagers and 12 werewolves, so you can even have a huge “vanilla” game if you’re so inclined. But where Ultimate werewolf really shines is in the rules. While the basic game is explained in only a few paragraphs, players will find dozens of pages of addtiional rules, variants, scenarios, character descriptions, tips, strategies, and even how to incorporate Ultimate Werewolf into your company’s team-building events. More than 80 cards and a moderator scorepad are also included.

Ultimate Werewolf will be shipping in time for Essen ’08. You may preorder Ultimate Werewolf: Ultimate Edition for a special limited preorder price of $20 including shipping (U.S. customers only) by sending $20 to orders@bezier.com.

Fellowship of the White Star

Today I discussed "Fellowship of the White Star" with some of its creators at Thenodrin Presents.   This role-playing game is set in the very early 1900s on Earth.  In this alternate Earth, however, things like Dracula, magic, werewolves, and the like are all real.  The general public knows nothing of such things, and part of your job is to keep them in the dark.  The main part, though, is to defeat these evils where you find them.  Players can take on roles such as priests who really do have the power to heal someone by laying hands on them, or hardy Indiana Jones style adventurers.

You can kind of think of this game as being similar to the movie "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" in terms of the environment and types of characters available.
