From publisher blurb: The ven believe the world is out to get them. They are right. Wilderness is the long-awaited second supplement for the Houses of the Blooded roleplaying game. Like Coronets But Never Crowns, it presents a completely different take on the ven and their world and a completely different way to play the game. Wilderness is a 200+ page book written by acclaimed game designer Jesse Heinig (Fallout, Mage: the Ascension, Kindred of the East, Dying Kingdoms), Wilderness takes a look at the ven from the point of view of “the ven adventure novel,” with young, unproven peasants fighting to win the right to become Blooded. Wilderness also provides new Holdings, new Regions, new Vassals and a completely new system for playing unblooded veth. There’s also a new chapter on orks, with a ton of new ork traits, an essay on different ways to use orks and two new ork races: the thrunin and the serpent men.
