THE PACK Message Boards

I'm surprised no-one has brought up the Benandanti, the so-called "Good guy werewolves" who gathered in warpacks on St. Lucia's Night and went to battle against the forces of hell. There were apparently two branches, one group would do that and another, more solitary group that included &q...

I came up with a system/story that has the werewolf's changing initiated/fueled by elemental fire, and silver, "the Moon's flesh" and hence connected with water, cancelling out that power temporarily. Since the Flame "rekindles anew" with every waking, the werewolf is continually...

I know...it's an exercise in absurdism :D I remember there was a flaw in the Children of Gaia revised tribebook, "Vegetarian, 2-pt Social." Basically you were a veggie before the change, haven't changed your ways, and among other werewolves you're at best not taken seriously and at worst t...

Shift, to = "Let go," "Wolf out"

That's all I can think of in terms of original. W:tA had some good slang, vis-a-vis "Throat," "jacked," "roughcoat," et al. Too bad it's copyrighted...

First and foremost — get good, athletic actors that can move their body like a wolf. The Hunter in Company of Wolves was also a mime and dancer and did yoga, fencing, kendo and horseback riding. He was a real athlete and that to me sold the TF scene. You can spend thousands on a "wolf suit"...

Oh God, I just connected...

A werewolf involved in PeTA! A vegan werewolf!!

Mane the colour of the human's hair, and grey everywhere else?

I do like the idea of the "infecting WW" biting their own pelt colour into the victim.

I agree, some of the W:tA Gifts were just straight-up corny or thrown in for shock value...like the BSD Gifts. I'd favour powers, though — but only up to a point. Say, emotional reactions (the moon connection), elemental control, influence over natural things, the heightened senses of course. Legend...

I voted 8 feet but that's because I think 7.5' would be a good workable tallness factor. More importantly...what are the proportions? Where's the height? Is it leggy? Long body, shortish legs with the thighs being shorter than the cannon/metatarsal? Short thighs contributes to speediness. If you had...

Someone did a study and found that wolf and human vocal tracts — the windpipe, voicebox, et alia — are virtually identical. I'd have the werewolf talking, but doing it like Moro in Princess Mononoke did: mostly in the throat, with the jaws and tongue moving only slightly and intermittently. Nothing ...

I always visualized (is that the right word?) a rumbling prefacing/underpinning the entire transformation...lets you know something extraordinary is about to/taking place, almost like the TF has an element of Wholly Other. It starts quietly and builds to a crescendo as the change progresses. Skin/mu...
