@catzilla My friends and I played in WW here about a year ago but we did not have a good time with the staff at all. I think the staffer that really seemed to have an axe to grind with our group has since left, but I shan’t be back.

If you are part of the IT Crowd for Werewolf or Vampire
(coughcough a ST for one sphere but playing in another sphere coughcough), this is a GREAT game.If not, may the odds (of being noticed by STs/players/etc) be ever in your favor.
This game had potential after jujube/inuki/pikachu/etc left but still has that the feeling of, if you’re not part of the ST crowd, don’t bother.
ETA: I will say the game is better without the toxic former headstaff but still has the clique energy. Do with that what you will.
Agreed. We stopped playing werewolf as a pack, it just wasn’t working out in a way that was fun for us. The story really focused on one pack for a long time, and by the time that stopped, if it stopped, I think my pack lost interest in playing. It’s terrible because I really enjoyed the character I created. I put a lot of creative thought into that character and would try to really RP and get involved.

@Yam No specific tea to share from me. Just observations from my time spent there.

Which is the staffer there who played the de-facto PC leadership for vampire on Liberation and appeared to make it so players could choose between a) taking risks for and licking the ass of a “leader” who insulted them, openly informed them that he’d fuck them over at the slightest chance, and never rewarded them, and b) being unable to be involved in any plot?

Isn’t this just on-theme for… Vampire?

I guess it’d depend on whether they’re doing that to the characters or to the players. Given it’s PC leadership in WoD, it could be either or both.

Very Very true.
The whole shading them out of plot thing is definitely an asshole move though.

Erm, yes, in the sense that drinking blood is on-theme for vampire. No, in the sense that dropping Peter Dinklage into a wood-chipper and enjoying him as a slurpee on stage during the first act of Twelfth Night in Central Park is not.
You’re not supposed to be able to maintain power by making everyone refuse to cooperate with you. There was a fair bit of “well, I have to quit the game because I’ve got a herniated disk from bending over backwards coming up with IC excuses to continue to deal with this ass and there’s no other way to get involved.”

At a point, just attempt the IC coup and if you die you die, OR new prince.

@Pavel Yeah. This resemblence makes it all the more infuriating.
@Jennkryst Stupidly enough, I was actually directly told that I wasn’t allowed to try to do that.
