Surprisingly apporate advice for Eastcon Games.

Like if you Ignore the Vastly different geo/astro political background between the two organizations, the Eastern Concordat is basically the First committee From Lancer.

Like one of Easton's main goal is to re-contact lost Cearns (colonies) by reconnecting them to the wider Moon Bridge network (Or Blink Gates).

And well the Eastern Concordat leadership getting taken over by more extremist/totalitarian elements of the garou like say the second committee take over is a real risk that the PC's should deal with.

      OCTOBER 30, 2003 - the official opening show, with idina menzel as elphaba and kristin chenoweth as galinda. the originals. i would have been eight years old, on the other side of the world, with absolutely no idea this was happening nor the impact it would come to have on my life. it is, without a doubt, my favourite. my favourite everything. my favourite cast, my favourite storyline, my favourite book, my favourite soundtrack, my favourite production- wicked is what started my passion for musical theatre. sure, i had seen a show or two when i was little, but it wasn't until wicked that i truly fell in love. i've always adored elphaba and she has always been a character i have wanted to write. i never really had the courage to, until now. i'm so excited to bring her to life how i see her, and i hope everyone here comes to love her as i do. thank you wicked for everything you have given to me, and everything you will continue to give to me until your run ends, which i hope it never does . . . HAPPY WICKED20 !

Just to piggyback on this, I think dunking on one's kin in-game is also depriving ones self of good roleplay. Family is such a huge foundational part of society, let alone Garou and wolf society, and so much story exists in these relationships; dropping the hate won't debase this importance. Never forget that roleplay, and not stats, is what gets you the XP in WoD.

Many of the strongest arguments in favor of keeping crinos-born range from "But what if I want to play a disabled character" to "well they're supposed to be savage monsters and this is their savagery"

Did you know that all of the components of disability already exist standalone in the game in the core book separate of crinos-born? That's right. You could hit a total delete button on crinos-born and not lose any of those disabilities, which live quite happily in the Merits and Flaws section. It's possible to be a disabled Garou without being dunked on by the whole of Garou society!

Don't wanna lose the history surrounding wars that shaped Garou society! Groovy! Check out Rage Across the Heavens and Apocalypse for inspiration! maybe ever since the 'perfect metis' was born, no more crinos-born exist, maybe there are no deformities anymore. Take the very obvious narrative lifeline the authors handed you.

And, did you know it's possible to be a brutally savage monster without punching down? If the sheer depths of ones conception of horror is bullying the disabled kid, then maybe you need to stop playing alpha of the kiddy pool and take a good long look at yourself, because that's just plain bad writing and you're telling a bad story.

Metis and Kinfolk in W:TA

I complain a lot about Werewolf: The Apocalypse, so I was originally going to make a comprehensive list of things I would change about it. However, that would be an incredibly long post that even I would hesitate to read, so this time I’ll focus only on my thoughts about how the Garou nation treats its Metis and its Kinfolk.

To put it bluntly, it’s aggravating how a group that’s SUPPOSED to distinguish itself from human society by its lupine traits, still manages to embody the very worst that humanity has to offer. Wolves are family-centric creatures, they embrace and accommodate the needs of their pack members. They don’t have abstract human notions that lead to asinine segregation and ostracism.

So forgive me for being just a little perturbed that there’s an entire breed of Garou whose existence and treatment embodies a “don’t breed with the WRONG type of people” mentality. In one fell swoop, the writing introduces ableist, racist and homophobic mentalities into this group that’s supposed to be fighting for the RIGHT THING.

Why homophobic? A Garou that falls in love with another Garou is subject to rejection, hatred and even violence from the rest of their community, because they’re attracted to someone they’re “not supposed to be attracted to”, and the popular advice given is to just “get in bed with a Kinfolk, close your eyes and think of Gaia”, essentially. And then the “deformed, ill-favored child” is supposed to be a sign that their union was “unholy and impure”. I don’t even need to argue further about the racist angle, because THE NAME THEY CHOSE for the breed was a racial slur!

So might as well just do away with the whole shtick. Let Garou mate with Garou, and the chances of the child being also Garou are unaffected. If they turn out to “breed true” (another term I despise), all that means in terms of background is that they grow up in the sept and are “in the know” more than their homid and lupus counterparts. THAT’S IT. If they must have some sort of weakness to compensate for their familiarity with everything, make it some sort of spiritual hypersensitivity or something. Not racist, ableist shit.

Now, as for Kinfolk, don’t EVER make it normal for Garou to treat their Kinfolk as if they’re “lesser”, or as mere “breeding stock”. My dude… they’re your family. You grew up with them, you were loved by them, you squabbled with them, and the only difference is that that they can’t shapeshift or use all your powers.

You can’t POSSIBLY make even the most utilitarian of Garou regard Kinfolk as lesser, when they’re CRUCIAL for the war effort in more than just churning out more Garou babies! They explicitly fulfill tasks that Garou struggle with because of their Rage! They can infiltrate places Garou can’t, occupy places in human society that Garou can’t. Hell, considering how complex and multifaceted the war against the Wyrm and its forces have become, they might even be MORE effective at enacting change than the Garou tearing down factories and power plants!

So yeah, erase the Metis oppression, give the breed a different name, treat the Kinfolk as equals, and maybe even give them more special shit! Let them have Gnosis and access some limited Gifts, for fuck’s sake, it won’t break the bank to have them possess SOME supernatural power. (And let them participate in rites, you segregationist fucks).

(FOR CONTEXT: I’m part of a real-world tribe, so when I see fiction utilizing the framework of TRIBES to enforce this kind of shitty behavior, it makes me especially angry. We’re not lupine by any means, but we’re familial. We can’t keep our nose out of each other’s business, we piss each other off to no end, but I know ANY ONE OF US would be disgusted by the idea of a tribe mistreating members with special needs, and of “lesser” castes.)
