I’d Just Wondered Where They Went

On of the vacation days in May which we spent at home instead of the resort we’d booked, we went to a couple of game and card stores to make up to our youngest, the Pokémon speculator, for the fact that we didn’t go to any such in Branson. So we hit a few, and when we went to Meta Games up on Sunshine, I saw a big display for Pathfinder, but not much else.

I started to tell my beautiful wife that White Wolf Games were really big in the 1990s, but you hardly hear about them any more.

This weekend, Lake of Lerna started a series on the history of White Wolf Games which apparently are still, sort of, a thing.

Two things:

  • It turns out the RPG section of Meta Games was on a wall we passed on our way out, not our way in, and it does indeed have some White Wolf Games.
  • I’m not just turning into a referrer for Yakubian Ape’s Substack, but I do find his deep-dives into Millenial and Gen-Z culture interesting.
