Reception
editStewart Wieck reviewed Howling Wilderness in White Wolf #13 (December 1988) and stated that "Author Loren K. Wiseman did fine research in preparation of the book and is to be heartily commended for a job well done. The scenario leading up to the nuclear strikes and the missile targets themselves are very plausible."[2]
In the December 1989 edition of Dragon (Issue 152), Jim Bambra called this supplement "fairly complete" and thought it "paints a grim picture for the years to come." Bambra concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "This is an essential purchase for GMs basing their Campaigns in the States."[3]
