"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
Ahote is a striking figure, tall and powerfully built, with long, dark hair that flows like the mane of a wolf in motion. His piercing red eyes gleam like embers in the night, reflecting the fire within him. Intricate tribal tattoos wind across his muscular arms and torso, telling stories of battles won and oaths sworn. Dressed in dark, rugged clothing adorned with bone and leather accents, he carries himself like a warrior in perfect harmony with the wild, exuding an aura of primal strength and wisdom. As a werewolf he is a towering, battle-scarred beast with thick, dark and red fur streaked with black. His piercing amber eyes gleam like fire, and his powerful frame is built for brutal, efficient combat. Jagged scars crisscross his muscular body, trophies of countless battles. His claws are long and curved like obsidian daggers, and his howl carries the primal fury of the Wyld, shaking the night.
personality
Ahote is a larger-than-life warrior, brimming with energy and confidence. He’s loud, expressive, and never afraid to show his emotions, whether it’s joy, anger, or sorrow. He wears his heart on his sleeve, treating his pack like family and showering them with tough love and boisterous encouragement. Despite his wild nature, he has a strong moral compass, standing as a pillar of support for those in need. He values strength, honor, and camaraderie, always pushing himself and others to be better. While some may find his over-the-top antics exhausting, there’s no doubt that Ahote is the soul of the Shadow Claw Pack, bringing life and passion wherever he goes. Has a tendency to destroy electronics and tech - sometimes because he wants to, sometimes because he does not control his strength.
backstory
Born and raised on a remote Native American reservation, Ahote grew up immersed in his people's traditions, learning the old ways, the land’s whispers, and the balance of nature. When his First Change came, his tribe’s elders guided him, teaching him the sacred bond between wolves and the earth. Chosen by the Red Talons, he later joined the Shadow Claw Pack, vowing to protect its members.
