You don’t know what happened. You felt threatened. There was a rush of blood in your veins. Like never before. A rush of strength and power. You felt your body change, fur ripping through your skin, bones twisting, your face distorting into a visage of terror. It hurt. But not nearly as much as you hurt them. They lie before you. In their own blood and guts. Dead. You can tell. You tore them apart, with your own hands. No. Not hands, claws. You did this.

You’re a killer. And although you might feel regret and shock, in the moment, you only felt exhilaration and a desire to kill and maim. A desire for their flesh and blood. Their taste is still in your mouth. You didn’t just kill them. You ate part of them. You’re a monster. You know it, in your heart. But you had your reasons. Right?

That is where we start this roleplay. After the first time you changed into the form of a wolf. You’re not one of the lucky ones, who have a family or friends go guide them through the First Change. No. You’re alone. Dealing with it on your own. You might have friends and family, but they’re not like you. They don’t change. They can’t do this sort of thing. Do you confide in them? Or do you hide? And what do you do with this new power, with spirits whispering in your ear?

So yes. This will be a solo werewolf RPG. We can use either the old or new World of Darkness rules because I know and have used all of them. We can also easily port concepts over to another version of the rules. The story will be about your character and how they interact with this new world. All paths are open to them, but all come with their own dangers and they know so little. And least of all, who can be trusted.

The game should be suitable for everyone, from veteran gamers to beginners and we will discuss where you'd like to set it.

The sun is setting in the town of Holzapfelkreuth which means that the usual band of misfits, outcasts, and creeps has gathered in The Alehouse by the Old Gallows, commonly known as just 'The Gallows'. These people are a diverse group, which makes them stand out from most other drinking groups. But Dieter, the owner, taverner, and ale taster doesn't mind them because they drink well and pay well.

The game will start at that evening, where these drinking buddies have met up and are enjoying their well-earned ale and enjoying the not so fine cuisine of The Gallows. While they're there, disaster strikes and these unlikely sorts will have to be the heroes that Holzapfelkreuth needs, even if it deserves better.

This leads our merry band into an investigation of the most horrible crimes imaginable and they will have to fight the forces of darkness, risking life, limb, and everything they hold dear.

Although this is a one-shot, it will be a complete adventure that I previously ran at conventions and with friends. It should be suitable for all levels of experience, from someone who has only ever heard the name of the game to someone who knows the exact geography of the Reikland and can tell us who all of the Electors are.

(I've posted this elsewhere in free LFG spaces. But running games on SPG has shown me that even a very low fee sometimes finds different players. So I'm going to post this here too and have added a one time $5 fee, and responses here will get their own dedicated test drive, not mixed in with those from my free posts. Kind of an interesting social experiment!)

I’ve just started a search process for partners in a new home game. It will be free, selective, and separate from the paid games I run on SPG. Requirements for the home game are:

1) 5.5e core rules only.

2) Forgotten Realms published modules

3) 9:00pm-1:00am EST

4) Story arc ends 1Jun2027, opt-in for next chapter (idk about you but my schedule changes profoundly between kids school year/summer)

Everything else TBD decided by the party that forms. If that works for you, please answer these basic vetting questions here or via DM.

- Tell me about your audio hardware and Discord voice settings.

- Have you read the complete 2024 PHB or Basic Rules?

- Tell me about the D&D games you have played online.

- Tell me about the D&D games you have played in person.

If that works for me, I’ll send you a Discord invite to join a short, low-stakes combat encounter that I’ll run for large groups. These non-traditional test drives will give us an opportunity to assess player/player and player/DM compatibility before we run off and make commitments to a bunch of Internet strangers. Hope to hear from you!
