Interest Check: Werewolf 20th Anniversary Sand-boxy game


Recruitment


2 people marked this as a favorite.

Hello everyone!

I run a pathfinder adventure path at my LGS; a while ago we got a little bored and took a break to play a session or two of Werewolf.

I ended up writing a lot of material for it that never got used, so I was thinking of reviving it here on the message boards where I could run it at a leisurely pace.

I don't want to get into too much detail, as this is only an interest check, but the game would take place in modern day Ireland (full disclosure: I'm from the New York metro area, so some liberties may be taken with accuracy regarding Ireland). I would like to take 4-5 players, and I would likely set up multiple plot threads which the players could choose to pursue or not, many based on character backgrounds.

World of Darkness is, well, a little dark, so the game would probably not be suitable for children or people with sensitive personalities. I say this believing myself to be someone who runs World of Darkness a little lighter than implied by the books.

Would anyone be interested in this type of game?


Absolutely yes! Consider me interested.


Definitely interested! If you need any help regarding Ireland, I can help you out with the lore. And yes, we do more than drink whiskey. I mean that's the most common thing we do, but still. :P

I don't own W20 but I do have 1st and 2nd edition books. In fact, I run a 2ed Werewolf game here on the boards :-)

Any restriction on Tribes (assuming no Black Spiral Dancer of course).

Scarab Sages

Interested.


Even though I still think W20 was a complete failure in addressing balance issues, it is still Werewolf, so yes, interested.

Interested, my RL group suggested a possible Hunter a couple of weeks ago, so it started the itch, and we scrapped the idea for another thing.

I'm not that familiar with the W20 or WoD, bar that it's very story-heavy, and has about 6-7 different types of game (Vampire, Immortals, Hunter, Werewolf and Mage are the ones I know of), and I've never played in it - How comfortable are you with someone unfamiliar with the system/world?


Color me potentially interested, but I don't have W20. Is 2eRevised close enough?


Oooh. Ireland? Interested.

Thanks for you offer. I'm pretty good with history, geography, etc, even bought a book of Irish legends for my original game! But I'm completely clueless with things like popular culture. For example, I have no idea what kind of music a trendy club in Dublin or Belfast might be playing. That kind of thing.

As I have things written right now, I would be very favorably inclined toward Fianna applicants, and moderately favorably inclined toward Get of Fenris, Glass Walkers, Children of Gaia, and Bone Gnawers. Other tribes would be foreigners and would need a very good background to be considered. The same would be true for Lupus breed Garou, as wolves are essentially extinct on the island.

Every WoD I have played in has been much more story focused than a typical d20 game I have played in, but as they say "your mileage may vary." I do like to run WoD story heavy myself!

I am fine with players new to the setting. I feel like the system (roll d10s, all of the d10s!) is much less complicated than a d20 system and easy to pick up. So I'm fine there too.

I've only ever played W20, so unfortunately I can't comment. My experience with Vampire, which is my main WoD game, has been that different editions can be harmonized with minimal effort.

I think I have enough interest based on the responses here, but I might leave this up one additional day for more questions before I actually create the game.


I'd submit a Fianna Homid Galliard or a Children of Gaia Metis Ahroun not sure which yet if/when you Recruit.

Ibcurrently run 2 Vampire games here as well and have been playing Werewolf on and off since it wee released so looking forward to the creation process on this one!
