Werewolf
"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 rugged, athletic Garou with broad shoulders and sharp, alert features. He has tousled copper-blonde hair and stormy grey eyes that reflect intensity and weariness. Cassian favors practical, worn leather jackets, sturdy boots, and muted earth tones, often adorned with symbols of Gaia or the Black Furies. He is 25 years old and the oldest member of the Guardians of Gaia.
personality
Cassian is a fighter — not just in battle, but in spirit. While bold and courageous, he carries a quiet melancholy, a reflection of past losses and harsh lessons. Compassionate beneath his gruff exterior, he has a deep protective instinct, particularly for the vulnerable and the downtrodden. He distrusts rigid hierarchies, preferring personal merit and loyalty over titles. His humor is dry but warm, and he struggles with the burden of violence he often must wield to protect others. His Rage simmers beneath the surface, but he’s learned to channel it into focus rather than fury. Although he is the leader and founder of the Guardians of Gaia, he lets Phillip running the show mostly and reigns more from behind the scenes, guiding his pack like an older brother.
backstory
Cassian grew up in a fractured rural town ravaged by corporate exploitation and spiritual decay. The woods he once played in as a child were bulldozed for cheap housing and factories. It was there he first felt Gaia's pain—and his own first stirrings of Rage. Raised by a kinfolk mother with ties to the Black Furies, Cassian was taught early to honor Gaia, but also to question power structures that failed her. He found purpose in defending not just the wild, but the vulnerable humans caught in between. When he Changed, he was quickly recruited into the Black Furies—an unusual case for a male—and had to prove himself without exception. His skill in battle and his unwavering devotion earned him a place among the Guardians of Gaia, where he acts as a silent shield for those still learning to fight and although he is the leader and founder, he lets Phillip running the show mostly and reigns more from behind the scenes, guiding his pack like an older brother.
