Guildbook: Haunters is a supplement published by White Wolf Publishing in 1997 for the horror role-playing game Wraith: The Oblivion .
Guildbook: Haunters describes The Haunters, a Guild that frequently crosses and influences the mortal world, with hopes of one day tearing down the barrier between them altogether. [1]
The book starts with a short story, a continuation of one that appeared in a previous publication, Guildbook: Masquers. The book is then divided into four chapters:
The book also contains an appendix with descriptions of four important members of the guild, and a blank 4-page character sheet. [2]
From 1995 to 1998, White Wolf published a series of six Guildbook splatbooks that described the Arcanos (wraithly powers) and the cultures that form around them. Guildbook: Haunters is the fourth book of the series, a 72-page square-spined softcover book written by Lucein Soulban, with interior art by John Cobb, Fred Hooper, Darren Fryendall, Eric Lacombe and Henry Higginbottom, and cover art by John Cobb. It was published by White Wolf in 1997.
In the June 1997 edition of Arcane (Issue 20) Adam Tinworth claimed that as a stand-alone product, the book had "little use", but then stated that, when used with the other Guildbooks, that it was "absolutely essential for the serious Wraith referee". Tinworth concluded by giving the book an average rating of 7 out of 10, the same score given to the previously reviewed Guildbook: Sandmen . [1]
Mage: The Ascension is a role-playing game based in the World of Darkness, and was published by White Wolf Game Studio. The characters portrayed in the game are referred to as mages, and are capable of feats of magic. The idea of magic in Mage is broadly inclusive of diverse ideas about mystical practices as well as other belief systems, such as science and religion, so that most mages do not resemble typical fantasy wizards.
Vampire: The Dark Ages is a tabletop role-playing game published by White Wolf Publishing in March 1996.

The series ended in 2004, and was rebooted with a new line of games; in 2011, the original series was brought back, and has since been published concurrently with the Chronicles of Darkness reboot.
Werewolf: The Apocalypse is a role-playing game from the Classic World of Darkness line by White Wolf Publishing. Other related products include the Collectible card games named Rage and several novels. In the game, players take the role of werewolves known as "Garou".
