[edit] Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- The End Is Nigh
- Monsters are everywhere, lurking in the shadows, masquerading as upstanding citizens, hiding in plain sight. They murder, abuse and opress humanity. They have to be stopped, at any price. A new force emerges among hunters, a new creed never seen before - or has it been among them from the start? These chosen are bent on obliterating the supernatural - and anyone who gets in their way. Are these wanton killers the world's messiahs... or its destroyers?
- Stand or Fall
- Hunter Book: Wayward is part of a Hunter: The Reckoning series dedicated to the creeds, the character types of the imbued. Waywards are one of the two lost hunter creeds, a group of maniacs and psychopaths - even by monsters' standards. Learn what it takes to drive these hunters over the edge - or to make them the most prophetic among the chosen.
[edit] Prologue: The Prodigal

[edit] Background Information
Published under the Black Dog imprint not because of the violent content, but because of the participation in initiating that violence implicit in playing a Wayward "psychopath".
[edit] Memorable Quotes
"Exercise proper caution when handling dangerous tools or products, and pay attention to any and all warning labels. In short, don't be a jackass. Save the mayhem for the game, where all you stand to lose when things go wrong is a few of your character's health levels." - from the "Don't Try This Stuff at Home" box in chapter five.
