Wolfspell: Winter role during the pack creation

Wolfspell: Winter role during the pack creation

I hope everyone is OK with me asking questions about Wolfspell in the Swords Without Master community. I assumed it is since, in the past, there were talks about Wolfspell here, as well.

Let’s just cut to the chase. I recently read Wolfspell again, and there were some parts of the rules which I need to clarify a little bit.


1. The paragraph “The Pack” (p. 13) says:

- - -
“Decide among the wolf players who is best described by each of the following […].”
- - -

and then:

- - -
“Each wolf player should record their associated bonus or bonuses.”
- - -

‣ Does the Winter partake in the assignment of the background texts, or is it something the wolf players have to decide on their own?

‣ Does all the background texts have to be assigned, regardless the number of wolf players, or does a single wolf have to be assigned a single text?


2. Again, the same paragraph says:

- - -
“Ask each other leading questions about who you were before falling under the spell. Everyone should answer at least three questions.”
- - -

‣ Does the Winter asks these leading questions, too, or do only the wolf players?


3. Similarly, the paragraph “The Spell” says:

- - -
“Choose the spell that has befallen your adventurers and reshaped them.”
- - -

‣ Does the Winter partake in this decision or not?

Thanks for your attention. ;-)

I recently ran a bunch of #Swordswithoutmasters sessions.

I recently ran a bunch of #Swordswithoutmasters  sessions. One was set in Shadowrun's Awakening, another in the classic hungarian rpg world Ynev, and they worked great because they are adventure games. The system also worked well without any modification in an office rampage/falling down concept based on this video: https://youtu.be/xSXHH1VV6xo.

Even a Arthur C. Clarkeish first contact game was succesful. It's very far from the s&s concept, and the system was grinding a bit but still, the results were imho better and more clarkeian then any trad game.

Also #Wolfspell . I wintered it again, this time it's became a horror story where the young tribesmen turned themselves into wolves to avenge their killed nephew. At one point the most spiritual wolf was at the top of a frozen lake and it's player asked, "Can I find a ghost of drowned here?' and I replied 'Yes, you can'. And then he followed: 'With my mystic power I want to bend the world. I want the full moon to mesmerisingly shine upon the corpse under the ice so everyone who looks at it will freeze in terror.' And oh man, he did it!
