Werewolf the Forsaken (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

Gauging interests in a Play-by-Post for a werewolf the forsaken game. If I get enough to form a pack I will run the game. Characters will be created as per the standard rules.

Chiming in! Character should already be done from last time, if I need to make any changes let me know! :)

if you are DM ing Daway you can count me interested (in pretty much any games you want to run)...

:)

One or two more and I will run this thing.

Count me in. Never played a Garou before. This sounds like fun. I'll have to do a little bit of reading to get familiar with Werewolves.

Very very interested, I hope we have enough to start.

I must say I haven't played forsaken much, but been a long time player of the apocalypse, and if the other ww games are an indication, I should be able to come up with something.

Dam i hadn't realized that The forsaken was along wayyyyy different from The apocalypse...

Basic concept is still there. Werewolves= spiritual police. It's fine if you have limited or no grasp of the game. I actually want to start you prior to the first change. And I will be more than happy to help you through the creation process.

Step 1 is your concept(as always)
Step 2 is your virtue and vice (nature and demeanor). When you fulfill your virtue you regain all spent willpower. When you give into your vice you regain 1 willpower. There are merits (backgrounds) that allow you to gain a second virtue and vice.

I want you to think of what auspice you want to change under

Full moon the Ahrouns are now called Rahu. They are still the warriors
Gibbous moon, Galliards, are now Cahalith and are still the lore keepers and dreamers
Half moon, Philodox, are now Elodoth they have become more mediators to the spirit realms
Crescent moon, Theurge, are now Itheaur and are still ritualistic
New moon, Ragabash, are now Irraka. They are less trickster more stalker.

There are aspects of the auspice that we can go into later. Think about them like archetypes to the classes.

The old tribes are out. (They will still exist as lodges in the game ... Read that as a mixture of a camp and prestige class) the tribes are

Blood Talons ... The warrior tribe
Bone Shadows ... The mystery/occult tribe
Hunters-in-Darkness ... The Nature Tribe
Iron Masters ... The city wolves
Storm Lords ... The leadership tribe

Like I said all I really want is a solid concept and what auspice/tribe you think you want to do.

I am reading a small Wiki about The Forsaken

All I want is a solid concept and what auspice tribe you are thinking about. I feel comfortable running it with a group of a solid 4 players. If you know anyone else feel free to invite. Though know that my maximum is going to be 7.

ok DM i am sending those invites now...

If there is an interest I could be convinced to allow métis or lupus into a forsaken game. Though you will have to provide a good argument.

I'm very new to the WoD system and my copy of the Forsaken won't arrive until mid Feb. I understand the old WoD system and I have Wraith and Werewolf the Apocalypse. I might be able to get my hands on a PDF of the Forsaken, but it still means you'll have to deal with a very new player.

If you're OK with that I'm in!

I'm totally okay with that. Please note that I don't care if I have to take the time to work with new players. I just want good well balanced characters. I really won't abide power gamers for a storytelling game.

Anyways. That's five if everyone who said they have interests sticks.

Please play the auspice/ tribe combo you want. Do not worry if another character is the same. That's the beauty of the system. You can have the same aspects but be totally different character.

Irakka / Blood talons....

i just got the pdf of the core rule book

Don't worry I'm not a power gamer.

I'm thinking of playing a homeless orphan child who is given work by a gang to do dirty jobs he doesn't understand for food. I like the idea of Theurge.

I'll look into getting the pdf tonight and I'll refresh my memory on the rules and on Character creation.

When do you want us to start making characters?

ASAP. Ideally I would like to start the game this weekend. This will be a slower paced game just due to the other responsibilities in my life. (Father and sole income of my family. Being a personal trainer is a lot like running your own business. )

Character creation is

Attributes 5/4/3 or I will allow a total of 12 points to be split as long as it is reasonable.
Skills 11/7/4 or 22 + 3 specialties
Merits 7
Drawbacks your choice
Harmony 7. May drop to 5 for 5 or 10 xp

I'll get an alias up tomorrow, but it'll take some weekend time to get a full character sheet up. I'm just too new to the system to get that up in a few minutes.

Discussion open if you want to talk about the characters and their creation.

So far we have
Zelda Marie Jacobs-Donovon: Irraka Iron Master
(Algar Lysandris): Irraka Blood Talons
(Lord Zak): interested
(katataban): interested
(PhilofCalth): interested

Alias is here but in no way complete!

I'm going Itheaur and Iron Masters for my street urchant. Where will the game be based?

I"ve been reading a copy of the forsaken, as soon as I feel I have enough of an idea of what I was I shall post. Though most likely going to go with Blood Talons.

Poulsbo, WA with trips to Seattle, Levenworth, Mt Ranier, Olympic national park, and Victoria. Possibly to Forks just to kill Edward Cullen.

BTW I opened the discussion tab.

i go step by by step during the creation process this weekend.

So we've got two raga.. Irrakas, I'll probably go cahalith or elodoth, tribe will be storm lords, I'm picking up the book this afternoon, then I'll build a character.

I would prefer a PM or an email for your character sheet rather than it be contained in the alias. That way the other players have to learn about your character. So only put in the fluff of your character.

Remember to build mortal characters. I will take you through the first change. Might as well start the story at the beginning right?

My email is dalewr81@yahoo.com

just out of curiosity, do we pick out the things from the werewolf template now, and just assume not to have them yet, or do you want the sheet to be of a mortal?

Sheet as a mortal. I just any the auspice and tribe so I can plan accordingly.

Just updating

(AbsoluteGroundZero): Zelda Maria Jacobs-Donovon - Irraka Iron Master
please bring the character down to being inline with a mortal

(Algar Lysandris): ? - Irraka Blood Talons

(Lord Zekk): Mike Stone - Rahu Blood Talon
so far so good

(katataban): ? - Cahalith or Elodoth Storm Lord

(PhilofCalth): Sean Fitzpatric - Itheaur Iron Master

I was planning to mainly run this as a Small Town outside a big city pack but if you prefer I can move it to the home location being Seattle itself

Also please feel free to use the discussion tab since this looks like the core group.

Hey, I'm really intrigued with this campaign and if you have some spaces still open I'd love to hop in.

I'm looking to be a Cahalith Bone Shadow. I have a cool character concept to bring to compensate for my total lack of campaign knowness :)

I found the wiki and can get the PDF of the core, so no worries there. My hours are a bit wonky seeing as I live in New Zealand but it shouldn't be too hard to deal with, I hope!

My email is urbanuncia@gmail.com if you can send me some starter materials that would be cool.

Don't worry aelor DaWay has had to mind my posting hours (europe GMT+1) for the last 6 month that i have been playing in his PFS game...so he is used to it

(well i hope he is.)

welcome aboard Aeolar. That's a pack of six. I think that's a pretty healthy pack size.

GM question. I'm thinking of taking Animal Ken(Imminent Attack) as a specialty. Would that mean that I would know if an animal is about to attack me, if anything is about to attack from the behavior of a nearby animal, or both?

fairly good idea. I would rule both.

I ran a WoD campaign ages ago...had everything... lost it all...at any rate, the game and world are very interesting... still taking players? I don't know diddly about the new stuff...

I took danger sense instead. I needed my specialties for more in character stuff for a young hobo. Not that a certain understanding of animals doesn't make sense. I may get it with XP if this game works like that...

Anyway DM I sent you a PM with some more questions that should allow me to finish off my crunch.

EldonG if you're interested you would be the absolute last one I am willing to take.

i should have my character ready (at least the basic by sunday)

concept is :

Regular joe had a steady job a house in the suburbs, children a leas on a brand new BMW.

Then got fired from the company he worked for and lost it all (became a bump) and is trying to make sense of it all

I am interested... I never got to play...except In Vampire larps...

I have the image of a youngish teen girl...a misfit...having visions, and long blackouts... so she's run away. Maybe 15 years old...a seer...have to do some thinking about her, but you want her pre-change, so maybe not having it all figured out could be a bonus. ;)

so it sounds like you would be a cahalith? possibly bone shadow tribe.

Yes, cahalith... but...would she have a tribe yet? I figure she's never met a werewolf... that she knows about.

I will take care of it just let me know which one you wanted.

Likely Bone Shadows, I imagine. :)

Likely Bone Shadows, I imagine. :)

Welcome to the tribe ^^

I spent half an hour working out a lovely, nasty, angst filled profile, and Paizo ate it. I hope it tasted putrid. :p

So...what all do you want on the profile? I have the .PDF, so I can do basic stats stuff...you wan that PMed?

EldonG.

About half done...should have it finished tomorrow.

By the way, she's a runaway that has been surviving by prostitution...

I've been wanting to try some White Wolf stuff for a long time. If I wasn't especially busy right now, I'd be all over this.

Let me know when stuff clears up and I may be able to bring you in Feral
