Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition | Campaign

About the adventure

Rumors say that after 80 years since it's abandonment they managed to revive the Caern in Cluj-Napoca, a once important place of power and respite for all European Garou, but the whole county is compromised, everything from corrupted spirits to dangerous corporations looking to advance the apocalypse, and the Caern needs all the help it can get. Feel it? The unsettling transformation—forests now parking lots, skies thick with smoke, rivers tainted with poison. The world's unraveling before us, the Apocalypse is here. Sense the fury? Greed and hatred seep into every crevice, corrupting our surroundings, the cries of the innocent echoing as a harbinger of wrath, that which fuels our Rage. Hear her call? Gaia, our earth-mother, gasping in her final breaths as the cycle shatters. We are her warriors, Summoned by Luna, War is here. Where the Bones Bloom is your portal into the dark,an Eastern European themed Chronicle within the Werewolf the Apocalypse system. Begin as young Garou fighting in a ruined world, torn between an ever moving force of entropy and the warriors that try to stop it, navigate a Gothic-Punk version of our real world while dealing with themes of Alienation, Familism and Abandonment while constructing a pocket of safety in an otherwise hostile world.

Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
