When in the human form, other characters are not aware that the player character really is a werewolf, allowing the player to go undercover. Each form has its own gameplay mechanics tied to it: the wolf form is used for exploration, tracking, spying, and stealth, as well as being able to pass through narrow passages the human form is used for interactions, such as using machines and conversing with people and the werewolf form is used for combat. The werewolf is a shapeshifter, and can take on the forms of a wolf and a human in addition to his werewolf form. The player also goes to Penumbra, a place between the physical world and the spirit world, where they can receive sidequests or challenges from the Great Spirit of the Waterfall, who gives the player rewards for completing them, such as opening shortcuts between areas. Within these areas, the player plays through missions, which may have effects on the game world, including leading to secondary missions getting unlocked. The player explores various areas in the American Northwest, in the form of large hub worlds. The best of the cardgames created by the company is Pimp: the Backhanding, which parodies the Wizards of the Coasts' Magic: the Gathering.Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is a third-person, single-player action role-playing game in which the player takes the role of an eco-terrorist werewolf. White Wolf also produces board games, video games, novels, and cardgames. The World of Darkness is extreemly well researched to the point in which it's not that uncommon to see a fan thinking that White Wolf created a DiVinci Code-esque cover up for real were-wolves and vampires, dispite the disclaimer put in each book. A dice rolled as 1 will damage your results (horribly so if you had no successes), while a 0/10 will cause automatic success or cancel out a 1. The number of rolled dice that are even or greater than 7 decide as to whether or not the character snuck by successfully and how well or poorly they did. The player will add up the number of points they have in subterfuge and perception and roll that many dice. The storyteller might tell the player to roll their perception and subterfuge, and that the difficulty is 7. Example, a character wants to sneek past a guard. The game is played with pencil and paper and action successes are determined soley with a pool of ten-sided dice, rather than the various sided-dice in DnD. Occupations and locations are mostly free range. Character sheets, which are supplied in the books, cover these abilities and attributes and allow for a character to be developed on paper more as an alternative identity rather than a character made only for battle and healing.

The New World of Darkness came out in the mid-2000s, starting with a core book just for the human side of the WoD, and currently only covers Vampire: the Requiem, Werewolf: the Forsaken, and Mage: the Awakening. Orpheus, a new World of Darkness title that revolved around a scientific experiment to explore life-after-death, was the final core series to be released before long-time fans had their hearts broken. This game was still excellent and preceeds the sell-out period. Next came Exalted, which is a pre-World of Darkness universe that draws parallels to the old series, but bore a more DnD-like feel, setting-wise. The games could be easily played with just the corebook for whichever system you played.
There were plenty of supliments, but only for details desired by the hardcore gamer or the more creative and dimentional storyteller ( dungeon masters for WW), and most weren't pricey, as they were usually paperbacks.
Each sysytem in the series is pretty much self explanitory, have sub-races and can be mixed together. The original series was created in the mid-'90s and covered Vampire: the Masquarade and Kindred of the East, Werewolf: the Appocalypse, Mage: the Assension, Wraith: the Oblivion, Demon: the Fallen, Changeling: the Dreaming, Hunter: the Reckoning, and Mummy: the Ressurection (which doesn't really exist). The series takes place in a "World of Darkness" for a modern setting, though there are variations of each of the older sets set in historical settings, including the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and Western Pioneering.
