Welcome to the Werewolf subforum!

This thread functions as a platform for general Werewolf discussion as well as the brainstorming of ideas (eg. themes) for future games. Wintreans volunteering to host a Werewolf game in the future are strongly encouraged to post in this thread. Upon confirmation, the Werewolf Catalogue as shown above will be updated accordingly.

Either sounds good to me, though I would wait a bit longer.

I'm fine with either.  I don't mind waiting a bit, but I'd also be down for signups soon.

I'd like to reitterate my idea for a game with a warring mafia, so two mafia groups instead of one group. The win condition would be either all the citizens and the opposing mafia is wiped out, that side wins. If both Mafias are wiped out the citizens win. I have some power-role ideas, but honestly I don't think I have the imagination or dedication and drive to host a game.

FYI, I'm totes up to running a Werewolf game. There are a lot of board games that have been made which have this sort of "Hidden Loyalties" mechanic. I think I can adapt one to be played in Forum Werewolf easily.

Post by: Aethelia on February 05, 2018, 06:44:49 PM
Maybe we need some kind of substitute system for the next big werewolf type game. It gets distracting and less fun when much of the early game is dealing with multiple inactive people and the winner is determined by which side didn't lose key members due to them not showing up. Instead maybe anyone frequently on the fence about joining these things can sign up as a substitute and replace someone when they go inactive rather than having them dropped. Might be useless if I'm the only one who would sign up for that but I think it would help.

And since I happen to be thinking of this during the GoT themed one... maybe could just think of the substitute as the Daario Naharis role. Same role passed on, just an abruptly different portrayal of that role that we pretend didn't happen in character.

@Pengu and @Evelynx, would you two be interested in holding the biggest Werewolf game in the history of Werewolf games? I've wanted to bring the entire NS into the fold in a type of Werewolf Olympics for awhile, to attract new potential members, and really showcase the power of Werewolf for interregional relationships.
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: Michi on April 01, 2018, 06:41:40 PM
Funny you mention that.  I've had ideas for a larger scale game like that as far as theme goes.

Similar to Wintreath's got Talent, but theme would be centered around a beauty contest.

I think Evelynx and I could come up with something pretty grand.  :))
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: Imaginative Kane on April 01, 2018, 10:32:26 PM
I have also had ideas for a gigantic scale game of Werewolf but that would have to wait for a long time.  Assistance would definitely be appreciated though.  Mine is a different theme from Pengu though.

Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: Laurentus on April 03, 2018, 02:33:59 PM
By all means, if anyone would like to host, you're welcome to bring up your ideas here. With the huge endeavour to bring the entire NS into the fold, we will most likely need multiple hosts.

I was actually wondering whether we couldn't host a string of games with different hosts, following the double-elimination platform Tau used for his last game.

We could even have recognizably different factions based on NS. In the first game, it could be a war between the raiders and defenders for control of all of the Feeder regions, and in the next one, it could be everyone realising the real enemy has been the World Assembly, all along, and their attempts to find the spies who report to the WA.

The possibilities are endless.
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: Red Mones on April 03, 2018, 05:13:10 PM
I was thinking of a more complex game with roles carried over from Town of Salem, because it might be cool to try that, also because I'm not creative. :P
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: Laurentus on April 08, 2018, 06:19:22 PM
Alright, so it seems we have three ideas to work with so far. I've added them to a poll that will last for three days. Whatever wins, I trust we'll have a great game ahead of us. :)

Maybe all of the beauty contestants will represent real NS regions, and the judges will be a game admin, Violet, and Max Barry.

So with the Mafia Championship going on, I was thinking rather than doing our big one right now, we do a smaller one so that we can also support Evelynx in the competition, and then hold our big double/triple elimination one once the Championship is over.  Thoughts?

Yeah, that sounds good to me as well. Do we have any takers to host it?

If not, I'd be willing to host a bare-bones game with just the four basic roles (seer, defender, werewolves, and villagers), but the difference in this game is that people will be allowed to hint at and make claims about what their roles are, though they won't be able to show actual evidence (i.e. PMs from the host).
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: taulover on May 07, 2018, 03:45:09 AM
If we want a significantly shorter game, we could also try playing (possibly several rounds of) One Night Ultimate Werewolf.
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: Michi on May 07, 2018, 04:15:34 AM
Actually...I may or may not have been suggesting it since I have ideas for a game I'd like to host.

But you know, ulterior motives and all.

And I wouldn't necessarily say "shorter," as the normal month-long period is fine.  It just wouldn't be on the normal grand scale that we do when we try to top the previous games with some new twists and turns.

It could be on a smaller scale, more basic, actually going back to basics if anything.

Or it could be on a grand scale if we chose, we just don't want it to interfere with overshadowing the championships since we want to be supporting that and supporting our representative in the games.

Huh, good point.

Resistance and Avalon are longer term games, though since we'd be trying out a new game, that'd probably be better to do outside Summersend.

You know, I just realized that Resistance was one I never saw brought here.  At least that I remember.

I remember it being a blast to play on XKI, but I never understood it completely to where I felt comfortable bringing it here.

That would be pretty fun.

Have you ever tried One Night Ultimate Vampire? They do an interesting thing where they make the Vampires a separate faction with the ability to turn other players into vampires at night.
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area

Hmm, that would be great. Then we can actually have one with three different factions, again. Townies and demon hunters vs vampires vs demons, in honour of Penny Dreadful.

Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: Michi on October 02, 2018, 02:38:26 AM
Twilight vampires are basically boring angsty teenagers with fangs, and rather than burning in the sunlight...they sparkle in it.  It's basically a series of books that was written by an obvious fangirl that had an obvious fantasy of wanting to be with a vampire, and somehow gained popularity in both its literary and movie form.

If you've ever watched True Blood, think that...but less cheesy, definitely less sexual, and with much less personality.  It's basically less on every level, and was what propelled both Kirsten Stewart and Robert Pattinson into stardom for a time.

I like my vampires to be a bit less angsty and a bit more burny.  If they're shown a cross, it pains their eyes since they're demons of hell.  I especially enjoy vampires from movies such as Underworld, and the recent game Vampyr since they possess more of a personality and they follow more of the traditional vampire norms.
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: taulover on October 02, 2018, 06:50:52 AM
Twilight most definitely isn't as bad as the hate for it has/had made it out to be.

I think Lindsey Ellis does a good job of talking about that here:

So come end of Friday/most of Saturday, I'll start writing up a game unless someone else wants to have a go.  In the spirit of the holidays, it will be an X-Mas themed one, but I'm also thinking of putting another CYOW spin on it for the details.

And that way, by the time signups conclude, we'll just be beginning December, so we can most likely wrap it up before the Christmas week.

Thanks, I try to put as effort as possible to give each game a unique spin.

On that note, I'll also be making an early claim for Werewolf XX.  I've been working really hard on a different type of style that I've never tried nor seen played before, and I'm going to save it for the 20th game so it can be a type of anniversary special.

But that'll also give me plenty of time to work the specific details so that it plays properly.

Haha, I actually want a fairly light-hearted story for once. I love writing horror and very bleak stuff, but I'm oddly cheerful and want to try my hand at a romantic comedy.

So just putting this out there: if we tie between the Valentine's Day and Potato Papacy themes, they'll get combined. Which means a murder mystery involving cardinals with secret romantic trysts, on Valentine's Day.

Even if the theme ideas don't interest me much, I will participate if I can balance it with school because the Werewolf games are fun.  (Eventually I might like to host one if I could ever finalize any of my ideas although I have templates for all of them)  I will also attach invites for some of those ambassadors that have had interest in Werewolf.  @El Fiji Grande @Almonaster @PowerPAOK

Post by: Laurentus on February 15, 2019, 11:21:16 PM
Oh, shit, you're right. I done fucked up the math. Potatoe Papacy needs to lose 2 votes, where 1 goes to each theme, and then we need 1 more vote for each.

Laurentus' poll results for his game will be saved so that when he's able to host again, he'll have the results for his theme decision.

For now, the poll has been updated with some possible themes for Werewolf XVIII, each having their own unique quirk in their own right.  What theme would you like to see played?  Voting will close 9 days from now, with signups coming shortly after.  Voters may choose their top 3 choices as to the themes they prefer.  If there's a tie, there will be a secondary poll to determine the winner (depending on the choices that are tied).

Edit: A new option has been added to the poll!

As I know at least three people have seen the last post, and summersend is coming to an end, I think it's time to nominate some themes.

My initial thoughts tend to lend towards a Tomato/Potato theme or a video game theme. All suggestions are welcome.
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: Laurentus on August 25, 2019, 08:45:24 PM
Sounds good to me. :D

At this point, it's almost Halloween again, so I'll hold off hosting the sequel to Those of No Reflexion until the Z-day event is over.

This thread might help you come up with ideas for video game themes (https://wintreath.com/forums/index.php?topic=1976.0) if you don't already have some.  If you want some other ideas, just ask we can make suggestions whether or not they are good or even make sense :P.

Oooh. A list. My thoughts have evolved into the a Mass effect theme, but I still want to hear what you guys want to see.

So please make suggestions and we can have a vote. Unless everyone is on board the first time around.

Worse- they're the main baddies you fight in ME2. Husks (Exploding and not), Collectors, and Harbinger.

I just finished a full listing of roles. I'm very pleased with it, even if I don't get to use it this time around.
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area

I don't know anything about Mass Effect but any Werewolf would be fine so that sounds fine.  The only other video game one I can think of is Elder Scrolls but that has already been mentioned in the list and other sources.  If we want to do a classic type of werewolf, there is a quest from Oblivion that could be a perfect basis: Whodunit (https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Whodunit%3F) since it is about a group of people at a party with an assassin sent to kill them all.

I think I'll continue where I left off this Halloween. Or just after it, anyway.

I hereby claim the next game will be that idea I put on hold for a sequel to Those of No Reflexion.

And I also think that will be the perfect Swan Song for me in Wintreath, at least for the time being. I will never leave this place completely, but I cannot give this place the attention it deserves, and it seems real life is determined to become more and more complex by the day. I just got named our national training manager after the previous one suddenly resigned, and truth be told, I'm not sure I'm ready for it.

So yeah, I want to have one last big event before disappearing again, for a while.

In the future (we have werewolf running, @Batma n has a game that should be starting, and there are talks to start a game of diplomacy, so probably after all these) I'd like to host a classic game of werewolf with mostly new players and 2 or 3 experienced players. I'd keep it small (capped at maybe 10-12), and it would just have the basic (town, wolf, defender, seer) roles. It would be a great way to introduce the game to our newer members and a great way for me to dip my feet into werewolf hosting.
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: Vroendal on May 08, 2020, 03:37:18 PM
Also, a great idea for a future theme for a WW game would be a Lovecraftian culty horror theme, which I've looked for here, and it seems like it hasn't happened yet. If I'm being blind tell me, but otherwise, I don't know why you haven't done it yet. It seems like it could be a blast.

I think the next ones I host will be basic gameplay, but I'm always down for theme ideas.  Some I'm considering are:

*Drama/Soap Opera theme similar to the way I did it in 10KI (where people are booted from the show rather than killed), but it'd be a completely new and different story and setting (as well as it being basic compared to the complex nature of that game).

*American McGee's Alice (basically dark Alice in Wonderland)

*The Evil Within inspired theme (basically a horror that takes place in a realistic simulation)

*Scooby Doo based

And a few others, although I'll probably hold a vote as to what theme people are wanting more when the time comes.

Well since we’re laying out ideas, I’ve been considering a LoTR themed WW. We’ve got Star Wars, game of thrones, it only makes sense to do LoTR (and Harry Potter is another option)
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area

Funny that you mention HP, because I was thinking about a complex game further down the road revolving around either Order of the Phoenix or the Triwizard Tournament.

Wintreath's Got Talent III?

Funny that you mention HP, because I was thinking about a complex game further down the road revolving around either Order of the Phoenix or the Triwizard Tournament.
Was also thinking Harry Potter, something like the Goblet of Fire plot might lend itself well to a multi-round Werewolf, and Order of the Phoenix might work for a game with more than 3 sides, both of which are concepts from Werewolf XIV I'd definitely like to try again.

I've also been thinking of a The Clone Wars themed Werewolf, though am very much unsure about the form that would take.
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: Michi on May 10, 2020, 12:10:13 AM
With as neat as I remember XIV being, I'd love to see you host a HP themed game in that vein.  Multi rounded Werewolf would do pretty well, and could actually be a much better way to handle the Triwizard Tournament.

And no on the Wintreath's Got Talent III for now.  Champions Edition was still somewhat recent being Werewolf 18 (and we're only on 23), but maybe it'll be for Werewolf 30 if nobody else lays claim to it.  Maybe a Wintreath's Got Talent All Stars Edition.

But for now, I was thinking a sappy drams show or soap opera similar to what I've been posting in the "A Werewolf Story: General Mountain Rescue" thread...which reminds me that I need to post the end since the game has ended over there.
Title: Werewolf Groundwork Area
Post by: Vroendal on May 25, 2020, 11:40:58 PM
Above, I mentioned a Lovecraft Horror Cthulhu culty themed game.

Other suggestions -
Alice in Wonderland theme
Skyrim theme
Pokemon? theme
Deathnote theme

This is not meant to detract from the current WW game, I just don't want to forget these ideas later.

I played a game of Blood on the Clocktower (https://bloodontheclocktower.com) last night over VC with family and friends. In many ways it plays like a bastard game of Werewolf - there are many negation powers (some of which are permanent) which lead to the host lying to information roles, many choices are left up to the host's discretion, everyone gets a role, roles and alignments can change, game starts at night, etc.

To me, the most interesting innovations compared to Werewolf are that players are completely free to enter into private conversation with other players (and in fact much if not most of the discussion is expected to take place this way), and dead players continue to play the game but lose their powers and can only vote once for the rest of the game. I think it would be very interesting to see how these two mechanics would translate over into a forum Werewolf format.
