Fianna Tribebook is a supplement published by White Wolf Publishing in 1994 for the horror role-playing game Werewolf: The Apocalypse .
Fianna Tribebook details the Fianna, one of the tribes of werewolves found in Werewolf: The Apocalypse . The Fianna are a Celtic fey tribe; the book covers information a player would need to know in order to design a character, including tribal history, character templates and new character abilities. [1] This book was the fourth in the series of books describing each of the twelve tribes. [2]
The first edition is a 72-page softcover book designed by Harry Heckel, with John Bridges and Fallon Doherty, with artwork by Tony DiTerlizzi, Richard Kane, Brian LeBlanc, and Joshua Gabriel Timbrook, and cover art by Aileen Miles. The text is preceded by a graphic short story written by Harry Heckel, with art by Brian LeBlanc. [3]

In the June 1995 edition of Dragon (Issue #218), Rick Swan reviewed the first edition of this book, and thought the Fianna tribe as portrayed in the book to be "among the most intriguing." However, Swan was disappointed by the lack of "culture" in the book. "Where's the music?" he asked. "Where's the details about their oral traditions and compositional styles?" He also thought some of the writing was "awkward." But he concluded, "Still, designer Harry Heckel keeps the energy level of the text so intense, I half expected the book to jump out of the my lap and chase the cat around the room." [2]
