Hokay, soh.

I met up with Kaji today, and was very happy to find a new group of geeky people to geek-out with so soon after arriving here.
As we discussed various forms of geekery including pencil and paper RPGs, I found out Kaji had never heard of Werewolf: The Apocalypse... What kind of furries are you? I thought.
Werewolf is the ultimate furry game.
Hell, you had werewolves, were-cats, were-dragons, were-rats, spiders, sharks, snakes, birds. I'm sure I'm missing some.
The point is, just about every major fur race was represented, and all of them had some big anthro form. Sometimes two kinda antrho forms.

It was set in modern day, though there was a dark ages version of it. I liked the modern day more. It was super fun.
Full on forces of nature vs. demonic corporations polluting the world.

Anyone else play this ever?
If not. I'm officially adopting the lot of you and educating you on how to be a geeky fur.

o-o no but i want too now that i know it exists ^^

Whitewolf games did re-release their modern day games. I don't know anything about them now. I even forget what they're called. Still Werewolf: ________ and Vampire: ________
I have a lot of books for Apocalypse. I just need to get them shipped out here. Not about to buy a whole new set of books just because the company wants to make more money.

I started playing Werewolf when it first came out way back in 1992-93?.  In fact, I still have my First Edition, first Printing Werewolf book.

I would totally be into playing the older pre-2004 version of Werewolf.  Or Mage, or Vampire, or a combinatin of all three.  I would have to stock up on books, though, as most of mine have vanished over the years.

I've heard of it but I just never looked into it. But now I do after you explained it.

I would love to find some Mage and Hunter books. I could probably write a story that would bring them all together.

Ravenwood

I've been running those games for ages, too.  Had some interestign combined games with Werewolves, mages and Vampires all together and managing not to actually kill each other.

Star Wonder

ooooh sounds interesting and fun ^^

Ravenwood

There's also were-cats, were-rats and all kinds of other interesting sorts.

I have a copy of werewolf the forsaken and the world of darkness core book..........I would love it if someone started a campaign

I'm willing to lend my books out if needed.....

I'm curious about the new Werewolf. I'd like to see what changes they made to the storyline compared to the old World of Darkness. See and I thought they had changed the name of the universe as well. I thought World of Darkness was the old series and the new one was something like world of shadows or sorrow or something.

Ravenwood

From my brief exposure to the "new" Vampire stuff, I wasn't impressed.  They took the decade and a half they spent building up a rich, wounderful world and flushed it all away in a D&D-ism of "redo the whole world so we can bring in a new system"

Elnath

That's kind of the way I felt about it. I mean, I spent 5 years living in that world. From werewolf to Vampire, Hunter, etc.
I'd want to play with the old books. We just need to reschedule the apocalypse from when they say it was supposed to happen.

I have an old White Wolf mag with an interesting article "World of Future Darkness"  It's World of Darkness set in the early Cyberpunk era of technology.

As I saw it, 'The Apolcalypse' had already come and gone, but no one really noticed.  Kind of like how all these doomsayers keep predicting the end of the world, but the world's still here.


Some of the old White Wolf magazines had some kind of racy stuff in it.  Like another oen that I have somewhere that talks about the sexual and breeding habits of the various tribes.

I had tried to host a campaign that took place post apocalypse a'la Mad Max/Fallout. There was no more tension to really speak of between factions at that point so our group was made up of just about everybody. I think it was one of my more successful storytelling ventures.

I would love to have a very sexually oriented werewolf game. But you'd need a group of people who were really comfortable with each other.
In fact, I think I've got a storyline already that would yield a maximum level of sexy.
