Talk:Lycanthropy

I swore I posted this already. Fuck it. It's not the first time I wrote up multiple paragraphs only to have them vanish into the ether.

I wanted to add cultural notes to Famine, perhaps in a supplement. The working titles were Still Wild and Even Wilder. The short summaries for Changing Folk are that they travel in companies, not packs. They are Humans who shapeshift, not blends of man and canine. Their society is tribal, and their culture isn't some poor parody of being a talking wolf, calling their elite warriors alpha packmasters notwithstanding. Changing Folk are Human cultivars, much like Gaijin or Metas.

Names of Changing Folk is where I had the most fun. These are cheesey, campy, 'Indian' phrase names. Some of the ones I've used (or really liked) include: Sea-spot, At-the (short for Bark-at-the-moons), Runs-with-scissors, Through-the (short for Sun-shines-through-the-rain never ever call her Sunshine), and a couple of pirates from way back called Capt. All-beard and Long Chaney Silver Bullet. Runs-with was a PC in Argent, the rest of these were NPCs. Most of the ones I've used more recently were longer phrases with an unintuitive middle section selected as the short version.
