Yea, I had a feeling that was an influence. It shows how influences can be used in a creative fashion. It would be fun to get a rage or anger spirit to pump up the Uratha to Kuruth and then you would really have a party.

BTW, did I miss something, or was the tree spirit not in the fight in episode 3? Or is that in episode 4?...

I listened to chapter 3 and it was great, I can see how a variety of claimed can use their powers to make things difficult for werewolves. Super attributes to increase bice pools and defense. Fire elemental to cause 3 damage a round. Armor and home ground and regeneration can combine to make a claimed VERY hard to put down. Swift is great to run away, especially if the pack goes into Kuruth (unless the werewolves have hunters unmatched pursuit). I am curious about that tooth wrack power, though it sounds like a Beast nightmare. Overall, it was a good show, keep up the good work.

I listened to the first one, where they went to the estate owned by the old aunt Ivory Claw that passed away and they saw a big glass eye. How much further along is it? Episode 3 or 4?...

I have been following the podcasts Very angry Dogs and the Bitches of Brewery Park. Both are great! However, I am curious to see how they handle combat. I listened to about 4 podcasts and the closest I got to combat is when the brewery girls bit a spirit. Most of the storytelling seems like investigations. Are there any fight scenes I can tune into?

Another TV show which lends itself well to the Chronicles of Darkness is Lovecraft Country. One thing that struck me watching episode 3, Holy Ghost, is that it fits the bill for a Bone Shadow hunt. There is a scene where the characters need to enter a house and get rid of a hostile Spirit (or ghost), and need to perform the proper rituals in order to banish the spirit. There is also a part where one gets urged or claimed by said spirit and becomes a menace to the rest of the pack. This highlights the complexities of the werewolf hunt as one must be careful when a spirit possesses one of your packmates...

Sorry, this should be in the Werewolf the Forsaken Thread

Watching The Boys, I cannot help but think that it would be a great Mage story. I know that it would be very suited to Aberrant, but the theme of "Power Corrupts" is extremely relevant to the Supers of the show. Many of the powers that they manifest can be replicated by Mage powers. In addition, the show really shows the collateral damage that Mage spells can have on the environment (A-Train smashing into Robin for instance). The Boys would easily be a hunter Cell that is determined to take down Sups (or Mages), that have caused them harm. Speaking of Hubris, the Supers have that...
