"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
A 22-year-old male Garou of native-american ascend, with wild, unkempt black hair and piercing green eyes that reflect his connection to nature. He wears rugged, earth-toned clothing that allows for easy movement, often adorned with symbols of the Red Talons. His muscular build and sharp features give him a fierce appearance, and he has a few tribal tattoos that signify his allegiance to the Guardians of Gaia pack.
personality
Jake is passionate and headstrong, often acting on impulse when he sees injustice. He has a strong sense of loyalty to his pack and a deep connection to nature, which he expresses through his fierce protectiveness. While he can be aggressive and confrontational, he also has a softer side, showing compassion for those who share his love for the wild. He speaks with conviction and often uses humor to lighten the mood, even in dire situations.
backstory
Jake grew up in the Greenbelt and at Spiritglass Lake, where he learned the ways of the Red Talons from a young age. His family was deeply connected to the Guardians of Gaia pack, instilling in him a fierce love for nature and a burning rage against those who threaten it. After witnessing the destruction of a nearby forest by corporate interests, he vowed to protect the land and its spirits at all costs. Now, at 20 years old, he channels his primal instincts into a relentless fight against human encroachment, often leading daring raids against those who exploit the earth.
