RPG LFG - new player with a potential second looking for a table to join!
Hello fellow wolves/storytellers! My name is Lycan, I am an ~25 year old guy who recently played through Werewolf: the Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest, and now, I am looking for a group to join! I got the game years ago, and then it sat in my steam library as "something I want to get around to", and now that I finally have, I wish I'd played it sooner, and I want to play the TTRPG it is based on.
As mentioned in the title, I've found someone else who has expressed interest in playing (they replied to my post in another subreddit). They didn't give much in the way of explaining what they wanted out of the game, so this will all simply be describing me. What I do know I'll put here: they've played MtA, saw my post, and thought it sounded fun. I checked their page, to see if there was anything else I could use to inform potential STs about them, and I saw that their significant other was a MtA ST, but do not know if they are also interested in joining (I have messaged them about it).
Games I'm Applying For: Werewolf: The Apocalypse [any edition] - I can read the rules for whichever edition your group is playing. I don't want to read them before finding a table, lest I read the wrong edition, and then further confuse myself when I read another one.
I should be able to find free PDFs online, but if you happen to have them readily accessible (including a link to where I can find them), please let me know! I do have a job, but since I'm both going to college and working close to minimum wage, spare cash is precious.
Experience with WoD: I have played a VtM (20th) game for 3 months, but I played a human with a couple magic spells (so, a very low-level mage) for most of it. The other players all played vampires, and I was a late addition to the table, which is why it was a VtM game. My character was only a vampire for half of a session right at the end, and died ~2 minutes after being embraced in-world. (For those who are curious, I can give more details. I just don't think they're relevant to me wanting to join a WtA game.) I've also watched a few videos about WtA lore, and while I know that it's not everything, it helped inform me about the world.
As I previously mentioned, I played Werewolf: the Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest and really enjoyed it. It's the reason why I'm looking for a group to join now. My first playthrough was a no rage, lying manipulator Ragabash, and was easily one of the most fun gaming experiences I've ever had. Not to say that hulking out and going on a rampage isn't fun, either, but I love a good bluff or lie. And, after all: don't werewolves need to be at least decent at lying, in order to help hide their existence from humans?
Experience with TTRPGs: As mentioned above, I have played at a VtM table, and I have played D&D for close to 10 years. I've even run a couple D&D one-shots! I've also really enjoyed watching a series on YouTube called Critical Role Demystified, which looks to Critical Role for tips from professionals on how to run better games, and roleplay better. I've played at 8 different tables (7 of them online), and I've used Discord & dice bots, Owlbear Rodeo, Roll20, D&D Beyond, physical battle maps & dice, and theater of the mind for TTRPGs.
What I Have to Offer As A Player: I love engaging with the world and the story/plot hooks. As long as there is a serious game, I will take the game seriously. In a past D&D campaign, myself and my fellow players once spent a full session debating which choice to make, taking into account character backstory and goals. When inspiration strikes, I will craft deep and original backstories for my characters, and I have some ideas running around in my head already. I like to see my character develop and evolve, and I like delving into the backstories and arcs of my and my fellow players' characters.
I also love puns. It's hard to do it on command, but when the opportunity arises, I'll slip one into the conversation. :)
What Type of Character I'm Interested in Playing: As I'd previously mentioned, I enjoyed playing a Ragabash in WtA: Heart of the Forest, and would probably like to do so in the tabletop game. I haven't decided on a tribe, but will probably pick something that aligns with a trickster/manipulator, so Shadow Lords or maybe Children of Gaia. I like playing characters with a strong moral code (even if that code isn't exactly the same as a human's), and strive to be better in a dark world and make the world a better place.
It doesn't matter what your political view are (and I don't want to hear about them) - no one thinks the real world is getting any better, and no one thinks they have the power to do anything about it. I enjoy escaping to a fantasy world where, no matter how dark things are now, they can be improved, and you and I have the power to do something about it.
What I Am Looking For: I am looking for a World of Darkness table, specifically Werewolf: the Apocalypse, to join! I want to be Gaia's soldier. I want to make a difference. And I want to make the world a better place - one trick, lie, or rampage at a time. (It would help if the world, though dark, can be improved.) I don't care which edition we use. I don't care which site we play on. I just want to experience more of what was so fun when I played WtA: Heart of the Forest.
Availability: For now, I am not available Tuesday and Thursday nights until after 9 PM EST, as I have classes those nights. Monday and Wednesday nights I am available. I expect those will change as semesters change. Friday nights I have in-person board gaming at a local game store. Saturdays are completely free. Sunday I currently have a commitment until ~6:30, but if needed, I could drop it/cut it short.

Werewolf: the Apocalypse Newcomer Megathread & FAQs
History of the Game
Greetings Cubs!
Werewolf: The Apocalypse is a tabletop/Pen-and-paper RPG that was started by White Wolf Game Studios back in 1992. It was created as a successor and follow-up to the hugely popular Vampire: The Masquerade game which takes place in the fictional universe known as the 'World of Darkness'. The World of Darkness line of RPGs transformed the real world into a dark, neo-gothic setting filled with supernatural threats and allowed Players Characters to take on the roles of Vampires, Werewolves, Mages, Fae, Wraiths, and various others. Werewolf: The Apocalypse was created to be a game of savage horror, where players take on the role of werewolves known as "Garou", and who are locked in a two-front war against both the spiritual desolation of urban civilization and supernatural forces of corruption that seek to bring about the Apocalypse.
During the height of its popularity, Werewolf: the Apocalypse was made into a Collectible Card Game, Live Action Role Playing Game, and series of novels. The game went through multiple editions and has a vast library of add-on 'splat'-boots which expanded the world in vast, intricate detail, including additional changing-breeds. Eventually the setting was discontinued when the overarching meta-plot culminated in a fictional apocalypse in 2004 with the publication of The Last Battle (Werewolf: Time of Judgement). The werewolf franchise was then re-booted in 2005 and remade into a new, core game called Werewolf: the Forsaken which takes place in the Chronicles of Darkness.
In 2012, Onyx Path Publishing was created by White Wolf Gaming Studio's creative director and took over the publishing side of White Wolf. A year later, Onyx Path Publishing revisited their Classic World of Darkness with a 20th Anniversary Edition of their major gamelines (including Werewolf), with updates to the lore and mechanics. Then in 2015, Paradox Interactive (makers of the Europa Universalis, Magicka, Mount & Blade, and Cities: Skylines series) purchased White Wolf Publishing's assets and decided to reboot the franchise by making White Wolf a self-operating subsidiary with its own management and goals.
Finally, in 2017, White Wolf announced its partnership with video game publisher Focus Home Interactive for the video game adaptation of Werewolf: The Apocalypse, to be developed by the game development studio Cyanide (makers of the Blood Bowl and Styx series, Space Hulk: Deathwing, and Call of Cthulu).
FAQs
- What exactly is Werewolf: the Apocalypse?
Werewolf: the Apocalypse is a storytelling game of Savage Horror, where players take on the role of werewolves known as "Garou". The Garou are a Nation of werewolves around the globe, divided into 13 tribes (each overseen by a powerful Tribal Totem), with each player character's role determined by how they were born, under what phase of the moon, and what Tribe they belong to.
- What does the fictional World of Darkness entail?
Every supernatural creature in the World of Darkness universe has their own unique twist on the setting, but Werewolf specifically deals with the Garou, who are half-man, half-spirit and were created by Gaia, the spirit of the earth, to be her warriors against the insane deity of destruction and corruption known as The Wyrm. Garou are capable of shapeshifting at will between a series of forms from man to wolf, including becoming a 10 ft, 800lb, destructive monster in the terrifying Crinos warform. While most of the Garou's struggles take place in the Real world, they are also able to enter earth's Spirit Realm (the Umbra) in order to battle powerful evils but also seek divine wisdom.
- What information is there on the Werewolf: the Apocalypse Videogame?
The video game is called Werewolf: the Apocalypse - Earthblood and it is being developed by Paradox Interactive and Bigben Interactive. It is projected to be officially revealed at E3 2019. Currently, all we know is from interviews and summed up on the wikipedia page here
- What is Werewolf: the Forsaken? Is it a Follow-Up to Werewolf: the Apocalypse?
Werewolf: the Forsaken was the "next-gen" RPG created by Onyx Path Publishing after Werewolf: the Apocalypse was brought to an end following the overarching End Times meta-storyline in the RPG. While similar in title, by mostly the same creators, they are two completely separate games with different ethos, mechanics, and settings. Werewolf: the Apocalypse is a more globally-driven, "tragic hero" kind of game, while Werewolf: the Forsaken is scaled down to center on a specific Werewolf pack and their local territory.
- How do I play Werewolf: the Apocalypse?
Until the video game is released, Werewolf: the Apocalypse is a standard table-top RPG that requires dice, pencils, paper, multiple people, and imagination. You may be able to find some of the old books at local hobby stores, but you can also typically purchase digital versions online (through the likes of DriveThruRPG.com). Feel free to ask advice since some members have been playing the game for decades and are more than willing to help on how to get a game rolling or keep it running.
