World of Darkness: Gypsies
The supernatural creatures of the World of Darkness tend to think of humans as little more than animals,
ignorant of what really goes on in the shadows around them. The Gypsies think this of the supernaturals.
Review by Rick Jones (16 Dec 94)
Not a review or even a rant, just a couple of comments.
WOD:Gypsies is similar to the old Mummy book, in that it's a WOD sourcebook for a new kind of WOD
inhabitant, but it doesn't have the full set of Storyteller Rules. It's about the Gypsies, where they came
from, what their purpose is, and their secret.
My only real gripe is that there's not a lot about the history of the real Gypsies. There's a story of their
origin, and how their initial connection with the Ravnos and the Silent Striders was forged. But then
there's not a lot about their real history, until World War II, when they were hunted down by the Nazis.
On the good side, I liked the feel of the book. Gypsies are outside of society, apart from the mortal world
and the World of Darkness. As such, they know a lot. And their "secret" makes them the definate wild
card when It (Gehena/Apocalypse/etc) arrives. While I know only a little about the Gypsies, I know
enough to see that Teeuwyn did some real research.
