"Get comfy, pups. If you want a tale of blood, claws,
gore, and guts, I’m going to regale you with one hell
of a tragic story. These are the recollections of Astrid
Broken Claw, Ahroun of the Get of Fenris. Do you
know her name? You should. She was a key player in
the Amazon War of the late 20th century. Astrid herself
told me — Nina Freeman, her blessed granddaughter."

"...Hear now the tales of the past. Sing of the ancient times and
the bright morning and golden afternoon of our lives. For in the
time before the Wyrmcomers, we did not yet fear the coming of the
night. Our voices lit the darkness then as we sang of our triumphs
and sorrows. My song tonight holds within it the tales of those times, of little brother Wendigo and elder brother Uktena. These
tales may show our power and our pride and our love for our lands
and Kin. Yet, it is the one who is absent of whom I truly sing, for
if we heed not the tale I tell, there will be none of us left to sing the
greatest song of sorrow, known to us as the Croatan Song."
--Greenwoman Threepaws, elder of the Sept
    Wisdom Keeper of the Cherokee

Authors: Bill Bridges (Croatan), Jackie Cassada (Uktena)

"A Scenario Book made to give a jumpstart to a W5 campaign or to play on its own. Typically, we avoid reviewing stories such as this because bias plays a large part. Here we all gave a hopeful look to see the newest edition of Werewolf written as it was meant to be portrayed. "

This Episode we decide to have just myself record it due to the controversial feelings regarding the product. 
Team expressed the not so fun feeling of going through a book and it is feeling like work to keep it positive. 
Out of respect for them, I kept the notes of 2 previous recordings, one i already released on patreon, 
Here is our collected feelings and most of our points about this book.

Werewolf the Savage Age discussion start: 56:20.
We review Werewolf the Savage Age from the ST Vault. The main attraction for us was the perspective on Mokole and the unique tie-ins to existing Werewolf the Apocalypse material.
Written By: Christopher Gunning, Nik May and Andrew Howell

Sambrano Interview:
It was felt by members of our team to discuss the former contracted “indigenous perspective" expert, James Sambrano's dramatic departure from the Werewolf 5th edition team.
Here I say I find the value of this to demonstrate a discussion calmly regarding multiple sides of the topic based on limited information.
The intent is to remove this incident from our community by quickly bringing insights and perspective that allows the parties involved to seek closure and prevent aggrandized responses from parties simply not involved or having no official means to speak to it.
I as in Bob, refuse to spread the link to the original document because its existence is out there already and is an example of unprofessional conduct. When Sambrano goes back and looks at this action, calmly, he may find a better way to have been heard. I do know future employers will note this behavior and I wish him the best for his future endeavors.

From Bob:
We discuss with humor and praise the updates of revised and tackle some interesting points of view that are atypical to the average player.

"Half human. Half beast. Predators that stalk the deepest
woods and the darkest urban alleyways. Monsters that creep up
on their prey like ghosts, then explode into a fury of claws and
fangs. Beasts that howl under the full moon and kill those that
cross the boundaries of their territory.
Werewolves." --From the book

Summary:
The 10 tribes of Garou once raged across the Dark Medieval, secure that none could challenge their power. They defended their sacred places without fear of man, Cainite or beast. But now that the first prophecy has come to pass, the werewolves know fear.

Note
We pulled this book down , read it and reviewed.  Out of order.  "Werewolf the Dark Ages" is up next. An easy mistake.
