2 - STYLES OF PLAY
Intrigue: 3 - Find your prey, evade the predators and always be wary of the horrors that may hide in shadow.
Action: 5 - The hunt is an integral part of the life of an Uratha. As such, they will likely be chasing down their prey frequently and almost as often being made prey themselves.
Mystery: 4 - Spirits are cryptic creatures whose alien thoughts and intensions are difficult to predict. Prey and predator alike can take a variety of guises to confound the Forsaken.
Drama: 5 - RP is highly encouraged, and the game should remain fairly emotionally charged as PCs deal with love, loss, battle, turmoil, inner conflict, spirituality, and doubt.
Darkness: 5 - The Forsaken live in a dark and dangerous world and they themselves are dark and dangerous creatures. Horror is abundant and tension is high. (don't forget, however, that darkness can feel so much more threatening when punctuated with the occasional light!)
Pace: 4 - National plots will progress at a decent pace, but many will take a
few months to resolve and there's a potential for some plots to span many
months.
3 - DESCRIPTION OF THE VENUE
Theme/Mood: Horror, danger, violence and wonder.
Hunt and defend while also being hunted. The world that surrounds the characters is one full of spirits who can be at once dark yet wondrous but also alien and dangerous. The Forsaken must perform their duties in a frightening world that few humans would understand.
The world of the Forsaken is one at odds with itself. Nothing is at it seems, and much of the world holds a duel nature. The Uratha themselves are neither humans, nor spirits.
The Forsaken in Canada are surprisingly few and far between. With a small human population and a large expanse of wilderness, there is much territory to defend and much of it left unguarded. What events may take place in the vast wilds between the borders of pack territories? How many predators are able to rally themselves, hidden from the Forsaken's senses? How much of the nation has gone
unchecked and what terrors have remained undiscovered?
There are many threats to consider in such a large country. Are there too few Forsaken to meet the task?
