#w5 rewrite

[findingtarshish]

Honestly the thing that shocks me the most about W5 that I've seen while working on this rewrite isn't the racism, the transpobic dogwhistles, the bad rules design, the nebulous narrative design that both builds upon and tries its best to ignore previous editions.

It's the fucking spelling and grammar mistakes

Did anybody proofread this?

Hiiiii yall!!! Thought I'd share some of my loresheets from Project Barky Barky Boom Boom (W5.5)

Today let's focus on legends, persons significant enough in the World of Darkness that being associated with them warps your destiny! Some are canon, some are new creations! Loresheets under the Readmore!

Starting off with Bunny Clarke, werealligator and champion of the poor and oppressed of the Deep South

Next up, angry hunk himself, Cahal! Still mad about his wife, his daughter, and his boyfriend dying, Cahal is tearing a blood path through the World of Darkness, and YOU CAN TOO!

Up next is the first of the Gaian Kerasi, a wererhino born in human form who fights for the freedom of her people, Hasina Redhorn! With a patron spirit and the ability to step sideways, this Good Mother Rhinoceros will break the chains Pentex uses to keep her kind down.

Everyone's favorite Black Fury Theurge is back, and she's pissed as all hell that her old king is not only being creepy about her, but also the crown she was looking for is on the head of a vampire! It's Mari Cabrah!

A new character making use of the bones of an existing loresheet, please welcome Zyanya Xochiquetzal’s-Daughter Elvira! Placing her in opposition to Vandana Iron-Pelt (Referred to as "the Impressario" in Shattered Nation), Zyanya is a trans wolf written by someone who's not a coward, which is to say she's actually trans. She's a Saddle Stolen Moon, meaning she gained her powers due to spending some time as a Gorgon, a human possessed by a Wyld spirit. That spirit left Rage and power behind in its wake, something that so-called 'pure' Garou are envious of.

Which one of these badasses are you running with? VOTE NOW ON YOUR PHONES (or in the tags)

A touch of werewolf homebrew I'm working on (Siberakh loresheet)

(Some mechanics like Harano, Doubts, and Desperation are specific to this W5 rebuild. essentially, Harano is equivlent to Remorse, Doubts are equivilent to Stains, and Desperation allows a Garou to refill their willpower or rage in exchange for increasing numbers of doubts.)

I love directly subtweeting paradox and their terrible writing

[findingtarshish]

Made a new Talisman for my W5 rewrite! Pretty happy with this one

(For those looking to translate to their editions: Kahaila are werereptiles, and the Stonekeepers are my redesign of the Bunyip, expanded to ranged from Indonesia to Australia to Oceania)

yknow, for as much as W5 seems to center inter-tribe conflicts over the general direct action plotlines of previous editions, it's weird that they cut the stereotypes and perspectives section.

W20 really has been invaluable for reverse engineering that
