Werewolf: The Apocalypse
10 years ago
I used to love this game. I played various characters over the years. Silver Fang, Wendigo, Glasswalkers, even the ocasional Bone Gnawer, but my first love has and always will be the Stargazer tribe.
I played in the Salem-by-night dream on Furcadia from ~2002 to 2008ish. Karyn then went on to be a core member of the Atlanta-by-night / Sept of the Shard from 2008 until 2012.
Our last LARP was April 12th 2012. It was an endgame. The fall of our Sept, the parting of the ways of all the players. It was epic, tragic, and the feelings were visceral as our characters fell one by one to protect our home we had lived in for years.
There were three survivors. Stormchaser (Myself, Karyn Uxbridge), Light-of-Future's Past, and Room for jello (our resident Ratkin). And of those three Karyn was left dying as we closed down the scene.
Imagine my delight when I was downloading and playing around in Furcadia that I saw the Salem dream up and running. I walked in and saw the one person that brought all the memories flooding back. Karyn's old Pack-mate.
So all those years ago Karyn was lying dying, but was found alive, barely. Treated and locked up in an insane aslyum for a year. Wandered for two more, utterly insane with grief due to Wyrm Tainted flesh inside him.
Six weeks ago he found his friends again in Salem. Rather than kill him as he asked they pulled the festering taint out of him and he, for the first time in years started to become himself again.
I've started to chronicle his journey, past and present online.
