Re: How Does A Werewolf Walk?

It's all a matter of perspective as I see it. You can't really 'matter of perspective' biomechanics. There are certain ways things are supposed to work. I can say my sitting posture is totally fine but if my chiropractor goes "Hey, no, stop that" it's not because he has a different perspe...

Re: How Does A Werewolf Walk?

I wish someone would post a youtube video of a normal person walking (not an olympic sprinter) on the balls of their feet and doing day to day activities. Either I'm not quite sure what you guys are talking about, or I can't quite picture it in my head, since the mechanically and developmentally co...

Re: What to do in case of lycanthropic outbreak?

The theoretical point was this; Polearms &tc require little training to use. They work on the poke system. Swords, such as the Gladius Hispaniensis or Roman Short sword require training to use effectively; and the Gladius was part of a system made up of Gladius (Sword) and Scutum (Shield) that ...

Re: What to do in case of lycanthropic outbreak?

Regarding ranged weapons; the best one for the firearms-challenged person is the shotgun. Yeah, it kicks (I have a couple of 12-gauges and a .410) but with a short barrel you really don't need to aim. All you do is point it in the right direction and pull the trigger. The spreading cloud of lead pe...

Also what's with this whole favoring of guns thing? Whatever happened to the advice for people who CAN'T use guns? Because firearms are ranged and ranged combat is superior for a number of reasons, the primary being "zombie/werewolves can't eat me if I'm fifty feet away shooting them dead.&quo...

Re: What to do in case of lycanthropic outbreak?

I have (another) WIP that deals with that sort of thing. Humans have very advanced tech, like 40K Warhammer type of stuff. The therianthropes are able to compensate through a number of different methods. The werewolves so to speak in this WIP actually have telepathy with other members of their spec...

Re: Why silver?

Re: The Secret World

I figured the weapons would have gone differently too. I agree with the machine gun for the Illuminati (it's the unforgiving "by whatever means necessary" weapon), but I figured the Templars would have favored the sword (fighting just like the original paladins) whereas Dragon would have ...

Re: Are werewolves ruining YOUR creativity?

Re: What is a true werewolf?

a werewolf is defined as a person who transforms into a wolf or wolf-like creature, regardless of cause, form, etc. Pretty much this. Though it's also a bit subjective. Something like, say, a wizard or such that has magic to turn him into a wolf is "less" of a werewolf than something that...

If you took out the werewolves, it wouldn't have made sense for Hircine to show up since they were there hunting for him in preparation for the Great Hunt. The world's lore wouldn't support him showing up for the hunt without his hounds (see here , which is a book that was first seen in Battlespire...

It was interesting, and it wasn't werewolves for the sake of werewolves.. if you took out the werewolves, you'd need to change a good portion of the expansion's story (or redo it completely).
