Die with honor, Wyrmling scum!! April 20, 1999 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I have to admit that the whole Kindred of the East project has done little to excite me. But this book changed my views on the concept. By moving the changing breeds of Werewolf: The Apocalypse to the new battlegrounds of Asia, it adds a whole new level to the ususal " Stranger in a strange land " feel of Werewolf. The Kitsune (werefoxes) are easily one of the cooler species of shapeshifter (apart from the Garou themselves, of course). But the main reason I bought this book was for more details on the Hakken Garou. Anyone who's read the Shadowlords Tribebook already knows about the Garou of the East. These guys are samurai with fur and fangs, and you can't get more badass than that! Hengeyokai is more than just Werebeasts in a different land: its a whole other culture, with its own rules and values. This book is a great addition to the Werewolf line, and is reccomended for either Asia-based campaigns, or adding some spice to your current chronicle.
Hengewhatevers rock the Habachie! April 6, 1999 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you play anysort of werewolf game then this is invaulable! This book contains stats for some realy cool bete including weredragons, weresnakes, weresharks (alot better than rokea) weredemonspiders(?) and tons of new gifts for shadowlords, khan, ratkin, corax, a bunch of generic gifts. And of couse the awsomely @$$ kicking Kitsune who are my second favorite bete beside the baset. So if you only buy one book this year make it Were wolf the apocalypse (you need it) but if you buy two make it Hengegokiai or whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What Hengeyokai Is August 19, 2002 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Hengeyokai is an expansion to Werewolf the apocalypse. Hengeyokai is two books in one, first on the ways and culture of the eastern changing breeds. (werewolves, wereravens, weresharks, weredragons, wererats, weretigers, werespiders, and weresnakes) along with new merits, flaws, gifts, auspices (oriental auspices - leaf, steel, lantern, etc..) along with how to combine a western based game into an eastern campaign... or the other way around. The second half of the book is all about the Kitsune, or werefoxes. The mystery makers of gaia. They do not cause the delerium, they have nine tails, and their gifts of paper folding are unique to them. The reason that the two books are combined in one is simple: you can play a Hengeyokai without knowing anything about Kitsune, but you can't play a Kitsune without knowing about Hengeyokai! Two books in one is an excelent deal and a wonderful suprise to those who don't know.
Forget everything you knew about shapeshifters... September 9, 2000 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This supplement to Werewolf: The Apocalypse is absolutely the best book in the series, if only because the elusive Kitsune are given the full coverage of a Breed Book. The other breeds appear, with a twist making them very different from their Western relatives. It's a perfect setting for mixing shifter types what would automatically attack each other in a traditional werewolf game. Take your gaijin Garou to Tokyo, or your Japanese Kitsune to San Fransisco...
...Whoa... October 13, 1999 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
What can I say? This is a big must-have for ANY player, it has tons of nifty little fetishes (Of the item variety) and tons of other cool crap. I mean, what can beat people who turn into dragons? Huh?
