For Context: What if the werewolves we play in W5 actually under a unique form of wyrm corrupted that's put's them under a sort of waking nightmare which causes them to lash out against other gains werewolves under the impression that they're the BSD or under the effects of a nonexistent condition called Hauglosk ( and from that lens the BSD that are redeemed are actually poor random wolves that are corrupted) and as a cheery on top the wolves under the effects are subconsciously dissuaded from learning about they own history causing the slow self ensure of garou culture.

The only tribes that are majorly unaffected are the Stargazers and the Get. The former is currently tiring to find a way to lift the veil from the affected tribes (though more and more of they numbers are falling under the same corruption) and the get are kinda split on weather to help the Stargazers or just burn what's left of the nation it all down. (It's Better to go down in flames rather rot and all...) and maybe try and start again.

Now I'm writing this under the assumption that this is objective fact and not one of the cult delusion (though any ST's is free to use it that way to give the cult some flavor). Of course if you treat the above premise as fact then this is gonna deepen the already existing plot holes if not creating new ones. Hell I suspect the whole ting is even more unplayable then base W5, not to mention the uh Implications inherent to the premieres...

Which I say the whole thing is a stupid headcanon that's born purely out of spite and not meant to inspire actual premise for a game.But I won't be opposed if any ST wants to take some inspiration for they game.

Paradox slop is noncanon corpfiction.
If you want to iterate on that and make a house on a bed of sand you're either foolish, paid by them, or have too much time on your hands.

What spite is not enough for you? I'd literally say the whole premise of w5 is a lie.

Like I could point you to Werewolf the essentials while is a whole fan edition. But I doubt a anon would be interested in a tumblur project..

Serious question: why don't you just run W20 or, if you like the new system, do what most reasonable people do and completely ignore the stupid lore?

You don't need to even acknowledge any of that crap exists, why are you doing this to yourself, my guy?

DESU I just have an idea for a shitpost and I decided to post, It's simple as that.

And yes playing W20 is much more constructive and supporting fan games like Werewolf the Essentials for that matter.

But I didn't make this thread for that I just want to share my spitepost.

But that's where you're wrong, fucko.
>For Context:
Fine, you've given a poorly written schizoid "context", now what? There doesn't seem to be anything else.

On a side note:

One of the things I always enjoyed about the Tribes (pre-W5) is how they're all Wyrm-tainted but never really acknowledge it. "You hate men, you're a racist, you hate the rich, you hate humans, and so on. We're all royally fucked up and have been since we decided culling humans was a good idea, and even that we screwed up, so we tried to cull every other fera out there. Maybe, just maybe, we're the baddies and always have been?"

I think that subtlety was too subtle for the people who liked W5.

(Then again, I'm in the "using the name Wendigo is no worse than using the name Satan, so I don't pity the handful of Native Americans in the handful of Native American Tribes that care about this and the writers pretend represent all Native Americans, because cultural appropriation is just white guilt and racially driven self pity" camp. So I left the conversation before it started.)

You don't seem to understand what having the whiff of the corrupter actually is. If you were actually inherently tainted, you wouldn't be able to use the rite of purification, and if someone used it on you, you would stay tainted, and it would hurt a lot.

>Werewolf the Essentials
You mean the game they changed Get (to an uncreative) symbol because they fall for "Get symbol is actually nazi swastika" meme due to the whole Swords of Heimdall players in the 90s?
They can't even read the designer's interview where he says it's two axes. Not even I - who like Get of Fenris - saw an nazi swastika until some of these people told me what they saw. I understood what the designer wanted to express on the symbol and call it a day.
They're are just braindead people who are too deep into politics. They're probably those people that each real life symbol the nazi take for themselves, they would just let it go instead of trying to take it back for real.
However, I won't take their dedication away for doing something good.

You're not wrong, anon. People can't differ fact from fiction anymore. A native friend tried to explaing with his word that "calling this tribe of werewolves that has base on native americans as 'Wendigo' is actually calling all tribes in real life 'Satan'".
My dude... If you think people nowadays associate a bunch of fictional hot, hairy and furry-bait werewolves with real life ethnic groups... It's a you problem to say the least.

It's two wolves. It's literally the wolf glyph. But it really is supposed to be a swastika, the pussy cuck designer just backed down once he got called out.

It is two wolf glyphs. But the structure suggests the action of hitting someone with a hammer, apparently.

(Recall that the dude who made this glyph language up taped magic markers to his fingers and "clawed" at cardboard boxes in a warehouse to determine what shapes would be easy to use.)

the pic just sounds like 5e horseshit where someone who didn't actually like the game mutilated it into a shape they and know one else could tolerate
