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

Level 3 Garou Silent Strider -
Kai is a street-smart, sharp-tongued 22-year-old Silent Strider Garou pup with a rebellious streak, a fierce heart, and the kind of charm that’s equal parts danger and allure. A Ragabash born. Smoker. Runs deliveries - some legal, some not- on the side. Knows all kinds of people around Ironwood, some of them are really shady though.

appearance
Kai is a male 22-year old, lean, wiry young man with smooth tan skin and sharp, expressive features. His tousled black hair hangs just past his brows, usually windswept from speeding across the city. His piercing grey eyes carry a hint of mischief and defiance. Tattooed from collarbone to forearm in intricate ink, he wears sleeveless shirts and chains that show off his ink and muscle. A cigarette often dangles from his lips, and his resting smirk is as iconic as his urban punk look.
personality
Kai is sharp-witted, street-savvy, and proudly independent. He's always five steps ahead, navigating life like a game he refuses to lose. He’s hard to read—flippant one moment, serious the next—but those close to him know he’s fiercely loyal, especially to those who’ve earned it. Though skeptical of rules and authority, he respects strength, cunning, and honesty. Kai enjoys stirring the pot, but his provocations often hide a deeper insight. He’s a loner by instinct, but not by choice.
backstory
Raised in the gritty outskirts of Ironwood, Kai never had much, but he learned early how to survive. After his parents disappeared under unclear circumstances, he moved in with his aunt and uncle in a trailer park. Resourceful and quick on his feet, Kai began running deliveries—some legal, some not—to support himself and his guardians. Awakening as a Silent Strider brought clarity to his restless nature, and joining the Guardians of Gaia gave him a cause without chaining him to tradition.
