Yep, this would be a great thing to show the result of their build skills/duties.

And, once more, downtime is there to add to these allies....

[Ana Mizuki]

Okay, read the thread and there are couple of questions that arose to me;

1. How much downtime/bluebooking do the players do? Sept tasks could be put in downtimes to justify raising abilities/learning gifts.

2. You started by saying that players had to raise their stats to earn food and technology. Are they not allowed to eat at the Caern or just buy technology using their resources background?

3. How tightly do you control their XP spending? Usually, XP hoarding is a sign the players don't feel they are justified enough to use the XP....

Silver Fang, as it was the name of an anime I liked. Google searched it and HEY, what is that cool werewolf?

There is an aspect that should also be considered about ronin and gifts; Why are they ronin in the first place? That would affect a lot of their approaches to spirits and broods in general.

A garou who was exiled for a crime would know of broods and ways to communicate with the spirits. Thus they would at least know how to approach them correctly and might even still have ties to their breed and auspice broods (after all, a ronin is a tribeless garou, not a garou without breed and auspice.) They might have to do extra work, but they would still be without the brood's respect. After...

I don't disagree with your readings at all. If I have an issue with the 2nd ed info, it is -how- it is presented. This might be due to my extensive online experience of different people and their takes on tribes, but reading the 2nd ed tribal description matched the views of these people perfectly.


Basically, the aspect of the Furies being anything other than avenging misandrist was lessened and the focus was more on the 'man-hate' and violence. While that is a big part of the Furies, it isn't -all- they are. Yet, this was a view most people I played with in the 2010s had of...

I went through all possible core and info books for the Furies (sans TBs because of time and such), and there definitely is a stark difference between the 1st ed and the 2nd ed descriptions. For one, the 1st ed focuses on their connection to the wyld and protection of sacred spaces. Meanwhile, 2nd ed goes full-on 'they hate MEN' when 1st ed did not say much on that.

In general, 2nd ed doubled down in that part of the tribe more than the spiritualism....

It isn't the numbers, not really. If Red Talons decide to restart the Impegrium openly, they are at the point where they think everything is already lost. This means they will not care if they publicly reveal werewolves are real, they don't care if their actions hurt other tribes or kill them to a wolf. It is all over anyway, so who cares.

Basically, a bunch of people dying might not garner attention. But a bunch of raging crinos and wolves out in the open sure will.

When W5 was first announced, they spoke of the second Impegrium, which to me made no sense. 99% of the...

If Red Talons have decided to full on start the Impegrium, they will do it as openly as they can. First of all, they never agreed to some tenets of the Litany. Second, they consider skulking around while humans destroy Gaia extremely demeaning.

They are not a subtle tribe, if they have decided to just go for it, then they will fight and kill humans until the last of them are gone. Fuck the Veil and other tribes....
