A few weeks ago, I made a thread asking about White Wolf's World of Darkness setting and wondered if it would be something to get into, here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126248).
I'm pleased to announce that after meeting with some of my roleplaying buddies to play D&D yesterday, I found out that two of them were going to be co-Storytelling a White Wolf game! After some deliberation, they settled on a game of Werewolf: The Apocalypse.
I've offered to join, but now I have a whole new set of questions. Is it possible to play a Lawful Good, Superman-like-in-terms-of-personality, modern-day-paladin kinda character?
From my understanding of Werewolf: The Apocalypse, and the Old World of Darkness in general, the setting has a very fatalistic tone. No matter how much good you try to do, it won't matter since the world's going to be destroyed and evil will ultimately win anyway. I really don't like that kind of attitude. Is there a way to sort of avoid falling into despair and keep on doing the right thing regardless?
Also, what kind of a werewolf should I be? I have no clue if werewolves have clans or sects like in Vampire: The Masquerade.
How should I set up my character? I'm kind of looking to play the kind of character who's so tough that he can afford to do the right thing, since he'll be up to the challenge. Like, he won't get killed if he plunges fearlessly into battle with evil, that kind of thing.
Am I making any sense here?
Thank you for your kind attention. :smallsmile:
