Garou Chronicles - Ironwood

"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
Janis is a petite and vibrant young woman with chin-length bubblegum-pink hair, cut in a choppy, stylish bob with soft bangs framing her heart-shaped face. Her bright blue eyes gleam with curiosity and mischief behind sleek, techy glasses she often wears while working. She favors comfortable, layered clothing—hoodies, fingerless gloves, and utility belts—often in green and gray tones with subtle neon highlights. Her look is effortlessly geek-chic, reflecting her hacker spirit and Garou resilience.
personality
Optimistic, clever, savvy, and mischievous, Janis is sociable and curious, always eager to learn and think tactically. She enjoys her laid-back lifestyle but is aware of the deeper responsibilities that come with being a Garou. She seeks connections with others who share her struggles and desires to find her purpose in this chaotic world.
backstory
Janis is a 21-year-old Garou pup who has recently awakened and joined Cassianr's pack. Raised by a single mother who is also a Garou but wishes to remain uninvolved in the ongoing conflict for Gaia, Janis has always felt a pull towards the world of the Garou while also wanting to carve her own path. As a clever hacker and programmer, she navigates the complexities of both her human and Garou lives, working in a small electronics repair shop named Byte me! while trying to understand her place in this new reality. With a spider spirit named Pixie residing in her mobile phone, she often finds herself torn between her free-spirited lifestyle and the responsibilities that come with being a Garou.
