  Rules

  
  

  These are the very few but reasonable rules to this game. The first and foremost rules is THIS IS YOUR GAME!! The effort we all put into this will be the instrument of our enjoyment. I am not here to dictate a linear story as this is as much your story as it is mine. Also I will love to hear comments and suggestions outside of the game. If you have any comments or questions simply email me at this address.ghengis2@hotmail.com Please reserve this address for questions and comments only. Second I will be rolling all the dice of encounters unless i deem it unneccesary. Most of the time the encounters will be resolved through role playing and i hate dice crunching anyway so if you have any problems with this or if you prefer that luck control this game pleas email me. Okay now that we got the more lethargical problems addressed lets get on with the rules. Okay this game is going to try and focus on the Garou culture and realistic situations. So heres an example of a bad playing session.
  Derrick is playing a rank one garou named MoonSaber, a ahroun fianna. The Gm is played by yours truly. The scene is set at a garou moot the monthly sometimes semi monthyl get toghether of all the garou in the tribe or area if it is multitribal. They usually take place at a cern the Garou's spiritual anchorhead a place of spiritual power.
  GM: Okay the elder gets up to speak, he is old older then any garou you've ever ran across, he stands up with a creek as his knees shout out their dissapointment
  of effort.(talking as the elder)"Fellow Garou this moot has been called in oder to decide the fate of Leemer. Leemer has been found in suspicion of being wyrm tainted.
  MS:(whispering to his friend Leemer)"Don't worry dude that old fart can't even aim his piss right anymore he can't do anything to you.
  GM:Okay moonsaber this is your only warning remember half these garou are in lupus form and can hear your disrespectful talk about the elder.
  MS:Let em I dont care.
  GM:Okay..."NOw lets have the voices of each pack step forward to voice their opinion." Okay the varius packs are shouting out conflicting cries of guilty, trial by flame, and innocent what are you doing?
  MS:If it wasn't for that old coot my friend would be safe im drawing my klaive and leaping at him using my rage to shift to crinos.
  GM:Allright you shift to crinos and leap for the elder the rank 6 elder by the way. Little do you notice in your leap that you are twenty feet away so roll for your leap to see if you make it. MS:(rolls and succeeds but he won't be able to reach teh elder as the two guards in crinos form recognized a growl and are moving towards him)
  MS:"Out of my way weklings!"
  GM:One of the guards attempts to parry your klaive and the other will be enraged and quickly rush to your side causing a flank attack and increasing you foes to two giving you a grand total of negative 3 to all your rolls. What are you doing?
  MS: Im going for that woose elder im gonna throw my klaive at him.
  GM:Okay lets roll, your klaive strikes true that is if the elder was not shifting to lupus form. YOur klaive goes flying over his fur and you are atttacked.
  MS:What!!!"
  GM:The two gauds attack one cutting you very deeply with his klaive which you cannot soak.
  MS:I dodge!
  Gm:Okay you doge a little but the majority still impacts you inflicting six damage.
  MS:"YOu filthy punk!"
  GM:Okay the other guard while you were standing there holding your stamach and parts your head from your shoulders, oh yah and Leemer was found guilty as only a wyrm creature can invoke a traitorous assault on an elder...
  MS:crap...
  That was an example of rash and improper handling of a given situation. Please dont be like the headless wonder MoonSaber.

  Setting

  
  

  The game takes place in Seattle, Washington. That's right I live here so hopefully I will be able to portray this wonderous place authentically.

  NPC's

  
  

  The main Npc's we will encounter will depend on the players actions and decisions of course I will not dictate this game but will be flexible enough to accomadate the players wishes.

  Players

  
  

  This is dedicated to the players themselves. Here I will give a brief background that they submit and give permission to place here. This is purely for informational purposes so you can see the other players creativity and style. Of course this information can not be used during game play as that would constitute player knowledge.

  • Snaps-at-Heels
    Snaps at Heels is the garou name of a lupus born galliard silent strider. She was tricked by a vampire into believing that the vampire was in fact a garou as well. This betrayal in the end caused the death of a few members of her pack and has caused her to seek out this leech and she has followed him to seattle where her hunt will begin. Although lupus the adaptable "Snappy" has hardened her heart and knows this is the only way to get the foul undead murderer.
    
  • Starz
    Starz is the garou name of the street shaman bonegnawer. His homid name is tim mccalisster, and yes he is a bum. He lives on thestreets but his true home is that of the umbra, where he is the sept of the caerns spiritual represenative to their totem, the salmon. Starz is a little on the trippy side often knowing more about people then they have revealed.
    
  • Preacher
    Preacher is homid, he is a ragabash shadowlord but dont hold that against him. Hes actually a relly nice guy who believes the cosmic triat is actually the trait known throuhout the bible. He sees gaia as the Virgin and the wyrm as the devil. He believes the garou are fallen as they are not natural but he sees it as his duty to combat the devil in any way he can even if he must accept his gifts for destruction. He is lame in one leg but he shrugs that disability off with a smile and compiensates with his very stylish cane. Which can double as a self defens weapon if need be. He is know throughout town as teh wild preacher but everyone including his small congregation respects him.
    
  • Arik
    A mysterious man who knows no limits in his mystery if i reveal to much of him ift would ruin the surprise...

    Journal

    
    

    This is the log of events that have taken place in case a player or spectator wishes to review them. NOw they will not be a word for word journal as that would drive me crazy instead this will be a compalation of general events excititng dialogue and praiseworthy ideas.
    WEEK ONE
    Week one was of course a little longer then a week as people and response time often did not mesh properly but anyway onto the highlights..
    1.A lupus born garou named snaps at heels arrived in seattle and met a kinfolk who had been expecting her, they met a friend of the kins and found out she was very sick from her drug addiction, eventually they went to the caern where snappy is about to meet the caern totem, salmon.
    2.A outcast preacher met a marvellous young lady who seemed to know him and read childrens stories to a bunch of underprivelleged children( ahh)
    3.A mysterious man roamed the streets seeing an green puss comsunme a man. He roams the streets adn meets up with the hapless preacher.
    4.A garou vision becomes reality as his vision of a new garou comes true. He gave a stolen wallet to a bum and thinks he's a saint. He is curently trying to find the pack totem and is having problems..
