GM for 5-Player Werewolf: the Forsaken (Looking for Group)

[VioletPanda]

   To get things back on track... ;D

  We have another player joining us who would like to play an Irraka. I was torn/still looking at options so I offered my spot to them :)
  Sorry for all the changing. This is how it is now as I understand it.

   Me: Crestent IE Ithaeur
   Ravinwulf: Gibbous IE Cahalith
   ethernaldarkness: New Moon IE Irraka

I'd be happy to jump in as the last available auspice, which i believe is Irraka (my favorite). I'm forming a character concept in my mind right now, actually, and will give more details shortly. It'll be fun getting to play werewolf for a change instead of running it.

[Rajah]

Is this first-come first-served, or are you holding an application period? If the Rahu spot is open, I'd love to try a Rahu Blood Talon in Second Edition. If it's open to competition, I'll throw my hat in the ring.

[Rook Seidhr]

I think I'll step back in favor of Rajah, who clearly has some idea what's going on…I don't want to drag the game down.

[ravinwulf]

Not going to lie, bt having i be first come first serve is ot a good idea as it limits people at times and almost makes it so there can be only o many characers,

[ultraperv9000]

Okay, it's first come, first serve for Uratha characters.

HOWEVER. I do want to include more people, so if you want to play, I can make Wolf-Blooded an option.

[ultraperv9000]

Also, if people are legit bothered, I can change the first come, first served thing. It's not actually that important to the story that everyone be of one Auspice each. I'd like it if we had one of every Auspice, but we don't necessarily have to have it that way. More than five Uratha can also be a thing.

Well, I did mention Ithaeur in the first page, if it's taken now, then I suppose I might bow out.

[VioletPanda]

    Well, I thought the GM said we could have more than one of each...? :-\

[ravinwulf]

He said he would allow it, expressed it was very limiting to force a only one rule.

[eternaldarkness]

I am confused...are we using Forsaken or Forsaken 2nd edition (GMC version)?

[ravinwulf]

2nd ed.  I am just getting a feel for it as this will be my first time in the game.

[eternaldarkness]

2nd ed.  I am just getting a feel for it as this will be my first time in the game.

K, that's what i thought.

[eternaldarkness]

Ooh man, i'm having to think really hard about those Touchstones. That was a stroke of brilliance from WW there.

[Amarlo]

I am extremely interested in this setting but I am also extremely undereducated in it. Would there be a problem if I played an unaware human with that in mind? :) That way I can learn with my character :D

Blood and Bone

Blood: The Monster

A Monster revels in the shadows, using
terror and shock to cripple the victims of his hunts. It’s less
important to overwhelm a victim by force than it is to overwhelm
it psychologically. By the time his jaws clamp down,
the fight should already be over.

Your character recovers a point of Willpower when he
resorts to disgusting or frightening someone into submission.
He recovers all Willpower when using the hunt or Kuruth as
a terror tactic.

Bone: The Wallflower

The Wallflower prefers to deal with issues
through subtlety and consideration, avoiding the spotlight
whenever possible. She walks the quiet road, the safe road,
and among the Uratha, the lonely road. But not every pack
member needs to be a superstar.

Your character recovers a point of Willpower when she
acts from the shadows, outside any attention her pack draws.
She regains all Willpower when she operates independently
to complement her pack that’s on the hunt.

Touchstones
Physical:
Spiritual:

Gifts

New Moon

EVISCERATE (•)
The Irraka’s first strike is often the last of the fight.
Cost: 1 Essence
Action: Reflexive
The Irraka may activate this Facet as part of a Brawl or
Weaponry attack against an unaware or surprised opponent,
turning her attack into a rote action.

If you want, you can play a Wolf-Blooded who isn't really aware just yet! :) That way you can learn IC.

[Zeth]

When you say Werewolf: the Forsaken 2nd Edition, does that mean you will be using The God Machine rules by Onyx Publishing?

Yep. GMC werewolf.

Well I'm fairly certain I only have the first addition book and I can't afford to buy any others at the moment. On top of that I've never had the luxury of playing with another before and I have terrible luck with learning how to create character sheets on my own. With that in mind, if you're still willing to have me, I wouldn't mind creating a basic character and perhaps you can create my stats sheet? I think that would be very interesting, as someone completely unaware of everything I think it would be super fun to treat it like real life and have her get dished shit instead of truly picking it and see where I go with it xD

Your thoughts?

if you need a hand getting a character made, PM me and i'll be happy to help. If you've ever made an NWoD character and have a basic understanding, you already have most of what you need.

Eternal is right. The thing that changed most is the gifts, and with a little time it should be easy to understand.

[Amarlo]

Thanks guys, but I still think it would be fun to use a sheet made by the gm if he's willing xD Have that kind of wild thrown into things feel for me, could be hilarious. Then again, if he would prefer not to do this then I will probably eternal up on his offer :P
