I've played a Shadow Lord woman trying to atone for her mother's ..er.. idiocy (and dropped a few jaws while doing so), a Fianna who runs the pub with her husband, and an Uktena who married a Shadow Lord (and is now expecting twin Ragabash girls). My husband had a blast playing a Black Fury male. A great synopsis of how the tribes relate to their Kin, written from the POV of a Fianna Kin. My only problem is that to get all the Numina, you need two or three other books. This book gives great templates and directions for creating human and wolf Kin, as well as ideas for creating Kin for other Changers. Gives a rundown on BSD Kin, as well as the infamous SkinDancers. You know, the ones that ruined it even more for the other Kin.
