New Beginnings (Intro)

Note: First thing i wanted to establish was a pack. With trial and error in the past, i realized it's better for the pack to have a reason to be there together, rather then letting them all seperate. So the game started with them all making their way in a secluded area on the outskirts of Denver. They had all received a special invitation by Max Roman, an Elodoth, Iron Master (Werewolf Core p.299)

Max Roman is a powerful, charismatic leader with a dream: uniting the Tribes of Luna under a common banner and goal.

-----New Beginnings (Intro)-----

Everyone had gotten a special call, the reason was never clear, but everyone knew what it would be about. They were Uratha from different places all with one thing in common: none had ever been initiated in a pack.

Miguel "Umbra" Xejo, 2 years since his First Change. Fate chose that he was to be an Irraka, reborn under the New Moon. He spent the first of his year as a Ghost Wolf, never quite finding balance with what he was, never fully understanding it. Afterwards he was tested and accepted as a member of the Hunters in Darkness and spend some time with his mentor's pack, Kole "Spirit Seeker" Talcen. He was reluctant to follow Max' call, but he could not follow Kole forever and needed to make his own way in his new life.

Damien "Bonecrusher" Franz, was a bully... from birth and even to this day. His First Change did not help either, for he was reborn a Rahu, under the Full Moon. He made his way in life by signing up in street-fighting. His first change did bring out a sense of justice out of him, and put his bully ways for the greater good and joined the Blood Talons. He does not need to shift in order to crush anything in his path... but when he does use his other forms, the heavens cry out, the shadows grow still and blood will be spilled.

Ryan "Steel-Jaw" Cohen, a sharpshooter... but his ability only later develloped to firearms. He was in fact a Hockey player for the London Knights. His first change happened on a Half Moon, reborn an Elodoth and ruining his hockey career. He dreams of how things could be had he never been chosen, but realized long ago that it shall remain just that... a dream. His Grandfather and Uncle brought him into Uratha society where he joined the Iron Masters. His Uncle eventually pushed him to answer Max' call and to find out his real goal in life. As much as he may not realize it... he has much in common with max and would like to follow in his footsteps.

Mike "Steel Feather" Ironside, a business man in the region of Boulder, north west of Denver. He lived a pretty relaxed life with only the normal daily paperwork to stress in out. Never quite enough to bring on the First Change. But it was just a matter of time, and eventually when he risked losing his business, he fought with all his strength to stop it. He was reborn an Irraka, under the New Moon and learned of the Rage that had burned within him for ages. He joined the Blood Talons and looked upon their teachings to balance himself in his new life.

Killy "Miracle" Mathiew, is a very special kid. He was given a gift at a very young age to express his emotions in the form of artwork. Killy and his sister, Suzie were held prisoners one day, unsure of the reasons behind their capture, but when the police refused to listen to the demands, they decided to make an example of one of the two. His First Changed happened then, born under the Gibbous Moon, a Cahalith. During his rage he killed his sister in the process. Luckely for him the disturbance had caught the attention of Mila Julis who became his mentor and brought him into the Iron Masters. Unfortunately she noticed something strange about him, a sadness that filled his soul. The death of his sister left a crater at the bottom of his soul and he could never forgive himself. When Max called, Killy answered and followed, much against Mila's advice.

-----Intro End-----

And there we have it, all 5 characters involved in the creation of the pack. More information is available on them on the Forums. Feel free to ask one of them or all of us a question if your not sure about something, or simply wish to know more.

Character Creation (Very first session)

It all started September 24.

We gathered together an entire session to work on character creation and make sure everything was in order. Typical character sheets that can be downloaded and printed are 2 sheets, but i added my own as well as some modications.
A Lot of work was put into the creation of the characters as i'm very picky with knowing the details.

The character sheets consists of 2 seperators:

The first one contains 9 pages.
- 2 Main page available on White-Wolf;
- Expanded Gifts sheet;
- WOD page number 4 (consist of History, Appearance and sketches);
- Notes sheet (for any important event which occurs in the course of the chronicle;
- An NPC and a Pack Relations sheet (you can't just love all your friends, some of them just deserve to be at the top of your "to seriously injury" list.);
- An experience sheet (I like to keep track of exactly when, what and how things have been earned and spent);
- And finally a sheet that will tell them exactly how i will be giving out experience, as well as how much it costs to raise an attribute or skill.

The 2nd contains 7 pages:
- The Final Questions (useful information and questions that would help complete a character. There are 4 pages worth.
- A Lexicon and a First Tongue page (which can be found in the Werewolf book pages 18-19;

I'm hoping to scan them and eventually set them online for others to view.

Welcome to the World of Darkness

Greetings,

For all that are not familiar with the World of Darkness, it is a tabletop game that was created by White Wolf. ( www.white-wolf.com )

The World of Darkness follows follows 3 game set:
Werewolf the Forsaken
Vampire the Requiem
Mage the Awakening

I got together 4 other friends and started this game September 24, 2005. We've been getting together almost every 2 weeks on a Saturday in order to play. This has got to be one of the best game i've had the honor of Storytelling and could not have been done without the players.

I've been Storytelling various Werewolf the Apocalypse games (Old World of Dark of Darkness) for years, but there was always problems, or the storyline always went extremely slow. Didn't help that i had sometimes more then 10 players, although it was still an honor that so many were interested in joining.

I had retired from Storytelling and gave up on Werewolf the Apocalypse after the Chronicle came to an end. When White-Wolf announced the close of the game and the launch of the New World of Darkness, i was interested and wanted to at least collect the Main Rule Book for Collectors sakes. I loved what i read and really saw the difference between the two system. It was also nice that all 3 (Werewolf, Vampire & Mage) were now following the same Core Rulebook, something that the old system did not follow, and therefor the 3 different games back then could not work really well together.

I am quite impress with how the Forsaken game has been going and the players seem to be enjoying it greatly. And I wanted to push the limits of the enjoyments by creating a website on the accomplishments of the players and their characters.

A lot of the times i get friends who ask me how the game went, and what happened. Well, now they got a chance to find out for themselves if they are interested, as well as get in contact with the players behind the characters.

I have a lot of history to work on though, since 9 games have passed since then and many things have happened. I will try my best to make a breif resume of what happened during each session (as best as I can remember them). And i will of course keep you all updated every 2nd Saturday when we play the game. Feel free to participate as best as you can by posting your comments, and visiting the Forums available.

Thank you and I'll keep you posted shortly =)
