Werewolf: episode 1 Wakey Wakey

World of Darkness is very different from DD4e (I can hear the more experienced RPGers laughing at me already); no really going from a D20 system to 10 D10 and rolling a different number of D10 based on the dots you have in the skills required for whatever it is you want your character to do is kind of like Culture Shock. Luckily it's easy enough to get the hang of after a few runs.

A few nights ago (?) Eric had Jex and I do a trial run. My character isn't much in the way of combat so she rolled to hide and got an exceptional success (5 die landed on numbers from 8-10), and then sat back and YouTubed while the big huge Scottish Guy and a very Handsome other guy fought with a Gang member in some random back ally.

Tonight we got into the story. I'm going to tell you about the characters though because they are my favorite part. Shaun's character goes by the name of Jacob, is a charmer, he's hot, good with words, and flirts with everything that is humanoid. Missy's character is shy and really likes spiritual things, and seems to know something the other characters don't, either that or he has a crush on the old one eyed werewolf who was explaining things to us, and has a name that sounds like a cable company. Jex's character is a big Scottish guy named O'Connel who is very difficult by nature, big, and tactless. My character is supposed to be Icelandic-American computer nerd named Thorhilur (Tori because no one can pronounce it right), who's in love with remote controlled everything, Inuyasha, and being ninja-esque. She's also pitiful and is emotionally on edge since the 'first change.' She screamed, and shook, and held her breath, and pleaded a lot tonight.

The story is simple, since Jex and I will only get to be around for one or two, maybe 3 if we're lucky, more sessions. All 4 of us changed at the same time, super good Omen. The Pure (our arch nemesi) also have an Omen of 4 (which in Japan is super bad luck). To see which is the real Omen we have to go into the spirit world and perform a test for this huge armored bear spirit with steak knife claws. Oh did I mention Missy's shy guy glows and swirls when he's in the spirit world... yeah.

On the next episode: Be bewy bewy quiet. We'we hunting wabbits.
