Re: Werewolf Cults
I think this is a fascinating idea, Berserker. And what's more it's a logical outworking of an experience that decidedly transcends one's view of the cosmos. Daniel Bell defined culture as "the effort to provide a coherent set of answers to the existential struggles that confront all human bein...

Re: Do you believe in werewolves?
Felicitations to everyone. :D I appreciate this conversation, truly. It's good to stretch our imagination on a regular basis, whether we feel we need it or not. If I may, I'd like to place something before you all. While I'm not sure I can add much to what has already been said, I hope you'll forgiv...

Re: I'm a dad! (Sort of...)
Thanks, Lycanthropeful! I do want to visit the place someday. I live in the northeastern US, so it would be difficult; but maybe I'll find the wherewithal to see it sometime. There used to be a lot of wolves near where I live. In fact there's even a road here called "Wolf Hollow" because o...

I'm a dad! (Sort of...)
Hey guys. I just wanted to share a quickie. I've "adopted" a gray wolf in Idaho through the efforts of the Wolf Education Research Center ( http://www.wolfcenter.org/default.asp ). His name is Piyip, an adult wolf of a pack the center has called Sawtooth. I know this sounds like a plug, bu...

Sorry to hear of your trials, TDJW. I don't normally post to this thread, but I couldn't help it when I saw you were hurt. I hope you'll be back some day. I guess that's the trouble with the internet: it can get a bit impersonal from time to time, seeing that it's easy to misinterpret when there's n...

Re: Hello.
Hi, Umahdune. Nice to meet you. I think you'll find this site to be a launching point for all sorts of facets of interest. The werewolf has indeed "evolved" into many forms over the years, and you'll find all aspects are thoroughly and passionately explored here. Do enjoy!

Re: Apocalyptic earth: gaming thread
Hal continued to paw at the exposed metal, sniffing and whining. The others could see a wild look in his yellow eyes that belied more than mere bestial instinct. At last the creature lay prone before the object, a gold and silver protrusion that seemed to reflect more light than what shined upon it ...

Re: Apocalyptic earth: gaming thread
As the bodies of the hellspawn began to liquefy into nauseous puddles of black ichor, Blade began to notice how upset Hal seemed to be. The creature was pawing at his arm, whining excitedly and directing his gaze to some spot Blade did not see at first. All at once, Hal leapt over his master and lop...

Hal cautiously approached the newcomer, sniffing carefully at his proffered hand. His eyes flitted back and forth between Dusten and the seemingly vacant casements of the surrounding buildings, which thrust up at crazily leaning angles from the landscape. They seemed like crooked and broken teeth ju...

Re: Apocalyptic earth: gaming thread
Hal crept along the ground, nose twitching as he took in the scent. He could sense the agitation of both his pack mates, but a new aroma was added to the mix: fear, desperation, unreasoning panic. And something else... As he moved closer, though not out of line of sight of his master, the creature's...

Re: Apocalyptic earth: gaming thread
The creature only stared uncomprehendingly at its master as if the command had meant no more than a slight wordless breeze. Its tongue stood out as it panted from its exhilerating fight, blood still slightly caked around its muzzle. And when Blade moved away, the creature followed him like a nine-fo...

Re: Apocalyptic earth: gaming thread
His senses aflame, the crouching Hal-creature bared his sharp teeth and snarled. Any one of these attackers was an affront to his senses and his sanity, but together they were an abomination against nature. Dead, yet alive; conscious, yet putrescent with the bitter offensiveness of old blood. One, a...

Re: Apocalyptic earth: gaming thread
The Hal-creature slunk alongside his master, occasionally throwing a curious glance at the figure of the one called Wolfward. But to his broken mind, the discord caused by this errant pack member mean little. Stability was to be found in obedience to the pack hierarchy and the loss of a few strays w...

Re: Apocalyptic earth: gaming thread
The hulking form of the troglodyte werewolf with the almost puppy-like devotion on its fierce face seemed almost absurd, mascot-l i k e, next to the grim figure of Tykona. But if Blade was looking for a coherent explanation, it was not to be forthcoming. The creature merely stared at him with an exp...

One of the Benandanti, a brown-white individual who had just shifted to upright stance, bared his teeth. "Three days! Bureaucratic drivel! Why not three years?" Anticlaire moved far more quickly than her tremendous bulk might have indicated. In a flash, she was on the errant werewolf, one ...

Discord. He inhaled the invisible waft of potential violence. The smell of the first one, the alpha. Not man, not wolf, both and neither.

Re: Lycanthropy treated in a positive light - not a curse
some people think of it as a curse and some don't. Very true, and what they perceive depends on the definition of lycanthropy: * Modern medicine: congenital porphyria with accompanying psychosis. This is clearly a curse. * Classical folklore: varies from the satanic references of Richard Verstegan ...

Re: Apocalyptic earth: gaming thread
The sound of raised voices. The click of disengaged safeties and the sharp clatch of a weapon's breach. Familiar sounds: a failed key to remembrance. Torturous glimpses of half-recalled horror. The man shook and rocked himself. "G...g...g..." He was going to die. He could smell it. Lurking...
