Every time I look up Werewolf images in Google they show this other stuff called: Werewolf The Foresaken. Does anybody on CAA know what this is?

maybe it was the way you typed it?
I did a Google image search and it came up with regular werewolf pictures. Nothing about Werewolf The Foresaken. Of course, I did come up with some Ambross Werewolf pics.

Werewolf: the Forsaken is a Pen and Paper RPG set in a horror setting with werewolves as the primary charachters. Its similar in structure to the Vampire RPGs. Both are published by white wolf games, a company who seems to be producing RPGs in competition with Wizards of the coast (and not doing a bad job of it either).

Since it's a pen and paper RPG, it should *have* books, but not like novels. They're actually rule books and guide books on how to play the game. I personally have never played this game, but I have played other pen and paper RPG's, so this one should be fairly similar to others in this sense.

mechana2015 and everdred12a both gave responses that essentially cover your question. I post only to clarify because I have at least seen one of the Werewolf the Forsaken core books: while they certainly aren't novels (they are books that explain rules for a very complex game) I believe the book likely includes a great deal of backstory to set the scene. Most White Wolf games do.

Since you're interested, here is the official website:

White Wolf doesn't make much of its intellectual property public domain, so there isn't much there, but there is some basic information.
