Publication history

Witches was written by Nigel D. Findley, with a cover by Joe de Velasco, and illustrations by Roger Raupp, and was published by Mayfair Games in 1990 as a 96-page book.[1]

Reception

Stewart Wieck reviewed Witches in White Wolf #23 (Oct./Nov., 1990), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "Unfortunately, the product seems to have been rushed through production. There are numerous typographical errors in the book (and even on the back cover), but these are minor problems that to not lessen the quality of the material. Almost any fantasy campaign that involves different kinds of magic could gain something from this supplement."[2]
