Join us on the publisher’s discord. Here they’re just going to shit on the game.
I think it’s really good and I’m starting up a campaign in two weeks.

People usually refer to it as W5. V5 is Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition. Not that it really matters; this is just to let you know.

Woo! I genuinely love w5. It's my favorite RPG of all time, narrowly beating our werewolf revised for that spot.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

It is the best time to get into Werewolf with that book. It is the easiest to understand and the best mechanics of any of the editions.

It's a beautiful book and the artwork is just amazing
I admit I haven't played it yet, but it's one of the prettiest books I own

Read the introduction. Like it especially the mature content warning in the book. Kinda calling to you to be responsible and tell the ppl you play with what might be in there.

They are EXTREMELY different in terms of tone, presentation and rules. I played the earlier editions for years, but they never truly clicked for me. W5 did. W20 is presented as basically a cartoon. W5 takes a more serious tone, which I prefer.
I also greatly prefer W5’s rules.
But really, it’s apples and oranges. They changed a lot with W5. In many ways it’s sort of a re-envisioning. And a lot of people wanted W5 to be a copy and paste of W20, and got mad when it wasn’t.

I love the art in that book. Especially the sequence where it goes over combat rules and shows an ambush/fight between two garou panel by panel as you read through it

W5 is the best! Been playing it a while now and I personally find that it is the best Werewolf version. Very fun. Have fun! :3

Honsutly I agree it makes me feel way more like a werewolf tbh like . The fact the the crinos form needs willpower to control Really gives it far more wait then w20
Gives me a reason to be a hispos or glabro and save crinos for “shit hits the fan momment”

Great art, good mechanics, if not married to the old lore you’ll enjoy it.

My main gripe with W5 is that it's a werewolf game where you're heavily penalized for wanting to be a werewolf, because they wanted the werewolves to be like how they are depicted in modern pop culture. Uncontrollable beasts with zero thinking capability. And the fact that they weren't like that in previous editions is exactly what made them stand out to me and made me interested in the splat.
