Last time, I gave you an overview of the contents of The Pack, and the crowd went wild. As well you might, as this book’s going to be amazeballs. Yeah, I went there. I do have a Lodge for you, but I’m going to make you hold on just a little more. Before we get to it, let’s … Read more

The Pack [Werewolf: The Forsaken]

March 22, 2016 by Stew

Curses! That fool Brookshaw left the microphone live. Now, I must spill all my secrets. I’ll get him next time, Gadget, next time!

ahem In the immortal words of Professor Nebulous, I’m drifting. Since Dave’s whetted your appetites for Signs of Sorcery, it’s only fair if I spill the beans on The Pack.

Over to Chris: Designing Shadow Gifts A Shadow Gift … Read more

The Giver of Gifts: 1 [Werewolf: The Forsaken]

December 23, 2015 by Stew

Chris Allen, the mastermind behind our re-working of Gifts in the 2nd edition of Werewolf: The Forsaken, asked if I’d give him some space on the blog to talk about his design philosophy. He’s gone quite in-depth, highlighting how Gifts work in Forsaken 2e. I’ve split what he has to say into two pieces. The first covers general Gift … Read more
