General World of Darkness Discussion Thread QQ Edition

I think it was supposed to read card department, which published two game lines AFAIK, Rage and Jyhad. I think both got at least one expansion, not sure though. Rage, incidentally, gave us a metis werewolf called Banana Split.

Correct, I had edited the post to fix it, but apparently QQ didn't notice that and kept the first version.
 
If I want to research Werewolves does anyone have any recommendations, which WoD book/version is the best start? Any other material from other settings/sources is appreciated too.

One of the core books, Player's Guide to Garou, Storytellers Handbook, Book of the Wyrm, Weaver and the Wyld.

My advice, don't try to take everything to be true. Different tribes of Garou have different legends, different beliefs and even Garou Lorekeepers aren't certain. They can't even agree on Gaia and the Triat. Furthermore, different Shapeshifters like Werelizards, Weresharks etc have larger differences in belief.

Kinda depends on what you need it for.

Do you want to play it or are you interested in the lore and metaphysics? Or do you just want a quick overview what it is all about?

I'm not much of a help then probably, since I never really cared enough about werewolf to go any deeper into that. I guess "W20 Rage across the World" which would be my tip for a general overview would still be helpful to look at anyway (if you can get it on the cheap). Since it does provide some nice examples about what to expect in the different location when they are Wyrm/Weaver/Wyld controlled, but it doesn't really go into the meta-physics or umbra realms and stuff.
 
Highlight of the session tonight:

IRA Grandpa teaching the Anarch might be licks, might be ghouls, might be herd ganggoons how to make car bombs because he knew the grandpa of one of the gangers.
 
So, I recently stumbled on Exalted v Wod. So, if anyone here has run it, I'm curious about the experience. I have some experience with Exalted 3e, and I've played a VtM 20th one shot.

I will also give you one last advice.
Sometimes, people have different names for the same thing or same names for the different things. This is not always true but it might screw with you in the future.

Thank you for the advice given previously. The books I found were usefull for my research. That said I'd appreciate a few second opinions.

In Warhammer Fantasy there are four main were-creature sources that we know off.

1. Those who are cursed and become their ilk. (Like the Things in the woods)

2. Those who transform using magic (Amber Wizards, Bray-Shamans etc.)

3. Those "blessed" by Chaos (the skin wolves and similiar creatures)

4. And lastly, the one I am mainly interested in those who trace their bloodlines to one of the nature gods like Ulric or Ursun.

My question is the following:

Which Werewolf tribe would serve as the best template/inspiration for those associated with Ulric, God of Survival, War and Winter (and of course wolves)? My thoughts point me towards the Red Talons, Get of Fenris and Fianna, but I would like to hear your opinions.
