"Survive as a werewolf in an eerie, urban city steeped in supernatural myths and occult intrigue." - A world inspired by the Pen and Paper Werewolf the Apocalypse 5th Edition. WIP.


Author's Note: ##THIS IS NOT A D&D 5e WORLD. NO D&D CLASSES, RACES OR SPELLS ARE INTEGRATED HERE. STARTING A CAMPAIGN WITH D&D CHARACTERS CAUSES PROBLEMS## #Still a work in Progress# Highly experimental lose translation of the Pen & Paper setting and core rules of "Werewolf the Apocalypse 5th Edition" (& "WtA - Revised edition" mixed in), which is part of the "World of Darkness"-Universe, into the F&F Framework (does not mean that everything will be set in stone yet.). Lots of Homebrew here as well, to fit the freamework. Ironwood is a completely fictional world. Originally used in my own personal campaign which I played for several months, I decided to make it usable for everyone - with a tad bit more depth to it though. Ironwood concentrates solely on the Garou. Vampires, Mages etc. are not integrated. This world solely revolves around the werewolf side of World of Darkness. A lot of WtA-Mechanics can not be integrated into the F&F Framework, for example how Dice-Mechanics work or tracking Harano and Hauglosk. Known issues: Rage-Tracker is managed to Custom Instructions in the Settings-Menu of the Campaign. You can enable/disable it on your own disgression, but it behaved really wonky when I tested it. Sometimes it was fine, sometimes all over the place. Franz often introduces random stuff to get the Rage up, often very very fast.You can ramp up the numbers from 1-5 to 1-10 or whatever you think feels good if you want to use it but not at the fast pace. Atm Franz always will track your Rage when the CI is enabled, regardless of you being a Garou or not. "I can not start a campaign with my own character": This is a non-D&D-World. If you want to play with a character that has a race, class etc. which is not represented in Ironwood (or not integrated), clone Ironwood and add your character in the workshop tab to the existing character roster. The same you do with the class you want to play and the spells your class uses. Same for items. Start your campaign from your workshop. Atm everything is so op: you are a werewolf, you are not a human in this world. So you are way more resilient and strong overall. You rip and tear. Easily. Through everything. I also noticed in the Discord that most people really ramp up their numbers up into the sky. I probably will turn down the damage numbers in later updates. For the time being enjoy going ham. But it might feel like enemies are pretty weak. Why so many homebrew-spells? Because with the few provided by the core rulebook the turn based combat becomes stale and repetetive pretty fast otherwise. I tried to give all classes fitting ones, maybe I rework some of them down the line. Future plans: -adding some Hound Members, some Pentex Employees etc. -adding all missing official items and all missing patron spirits -finding a way to better integrate Rage built up an loss as well as Frenzy

appearance
With tousled copper-red hair and piercing sky-blue eyes, Dawson's presence is as striking as his mischievous grin. His sharp features are framed by well-groomed stubble, hinting at a playful yet refined edge. Dressed in effortless style—leather jackets, fitted shirts, and accessories that accentuate his charisma—he moves with a catlike grace. His expressive eyes flicker between amusement and quiet insight, always aware, always watching. Dawson’s werewolf form is lean and agile, with a sleek, copper-red coat marked by streaks of darker auburn. His sharp blue eyes gleam with intelligence and mischief, and his expressive face retains hints of his ever-present charm. Lithe and built for speed, his movements are effortless and fluid, making him a natural scout and infiltrator. His claws are sharp but not oversized, meant for precision rather than brute force.
personality
Dawson is a smooth talker, a quick thinker, and a relentless flirt, but beneath his teasing exterior lies a thoughtful and perceptive soul. He listens carefully, often catching details others miss, making him an excellent advisor when needed. Mischief is second nature, but his humor is never cruel—he enjoys the game, not the harm. He balances confidence with patience, reading people like an open book. Always adaptable, he thrives in both chaos and order, flowing wherever the moment takes him. He is also very smart and tactical, always thinks 3 steps ahead. He knows he is handsome and enjoys teasing others with his natural charm. Wants Ahote miles away from his electrical equipment because Ahote has a tendency to destroy it.
backstory
Born into the digital heart of the city, Dawson grew up navigating both the neon-lit streets and the endless corridors of cyberspace. His natural charm and quick wit made him a master of connections, seamlessly slipping between corporate elites and underground hackers. Raised by a family with strong Glass Walker ties, he honed his ability to balance tradition with modern innovation. A wanderer at heart, he finds value in adapting, observing, and playing the game on his own terms.
