HARANAUGLOSK - The Long Defeat

HARANAUGLOSK - The Long Defeat

Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition | Campaign

About the adventure

We are half-way through the campaign. Dramatically it is a good timing to join at this point. A big shift is going to take place in the Umbra and the Sept needs new brothers to join the fight and endure the long defeat. Do not feel impressed by joining a campaign midway, the group is very kind and agile, we will accomodate you perfectly, cosy cosy. :) A campaign (21 up to 30 sessions) aimed at people looking to dive deep into gothic-horror and what it is to be a Garou in this damned age of Apocalypse. Story: The campaign is themed around Garou ageing and their struggle through the Long Defeat against Harano and Hauglosk, those two spiritual afflictions that burden Gaia's protectors all along their impossible journey. Campaign structure: -Chapter 1: 3 sessions on Human (born in the 70s-90s)>First Change>New born, and 3 sessions on first steps and schooling, -Chapter 2: 9 up to 18 sessions on Maturity, -Chapter 3: 6 sessions on old and wise or old and mad... -If your character dies midway you create another one of that same age group and keep going from there. The goal is to have you experience these four stages of the life of a Garou: pre-change, new born, adult and elder. -There will be cuts and time lapses in order to keep the arc going and the structure balanced. Safety: No lines and veils, only common sense, a good sense of humour and open-minded communication between members of the group. We run other projects open to beginners that make definite use of these legitimate tools, but the concept for this game is a little different: it revolves around each participant's determination and willingness to explore and transcend one's personal fears. Themes: Deep psychological conundrum and the facing of one's real fears and troublesome questionings. Face to face with that doubtful stuff we call humanity. We are particularly interested in Harano and Hauglosk and how those develop and are dealt with by Garou over the course of a life time. A game not for the faint-hearted. Skill level: A sense of what makes a scene dynamic and knowing when to pass the ball, with a balanced use of first person to third person play. Strong emphasize on teamwork and character to character interaction. Sessions: The scenario will be heavily tailored to the characters created during Session 0. Session 1 will happen two to three weeks after Session 0. Application: Adi will invite every applicants to a vc interview to make sure all the participants are on the same page.

Game style

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.

Just finished an incredible CY_Borg one-shot with Adi, and it was amazing! If you're looking for a truly immersive experience, look no further. The voice acting was absolutely top-tier, bringing each character and scene vividly to life. What truly stood out were the NPCs - each one was incredibly detailed, making every interaction engaging and memorable. Adi puts a lot of effort into crafting rich and believable worlds!

I've had the pleasure of playing with many Game Masters, but Adi stands out as the best by far. His range of acting skills is truly incredible, making every NPC feel alive and distinct, drawing us deeper into the story with each interaction. His descriptions of the world are vivid and almost cinematic, allowing us to visualize every detail, from bustling cities to eerie forests and mysterious unworldly places. What truly sets Adi apart is his ability to weave immersive stories that feel both epic and deeply personal. He doesn’t just create a plot—he invests time in each player's character, seamlessly weaving our backstories into the overarching narrative. This attention to detail makes every session feel meaningful, and his preparation shines through in every aspect of the game. Beyond his technical skills, Adi’s kindness and warmth make him a truly special Game Master. He ensures that everyone feels seen and heard, creating a safe and inviting space for us to explore our characters. There’s an emotional depth to his storytelling that has genuinely moved me, even bringing me to tears with one particularly heartfelt scene. Adi handles these sentimental moments with a sensitivity that shows just how much he cares about his players and their journeys. Adi’s ability to improvise is the final, essential touch that elevates the experience. No matter what twists or unexpected choices we throw his way, he adapts effortlessly, keeping the story flowing and the excitement high. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to tabletop gaming, I can’t recommend Adi enough. He’s a rare gem—a Game Master who transforms each game into an unforgettable, emotional adventure.

He really is in tune when it comes to listening to players and their needs and wants. I'm surprised in a good way how he takes on opinions and he pays very close attention to details. I cannot recommend him as DM enough, he has years of experience and knowledge that he is always willing to share with players. 10/10 would recommend, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Adi is a passionate, well prepared and knowledgeable GM. He encourages players to dive into their role-playing and to really bring their characters to life. His descriptive skills are excellent. Adi has an artistic background and brings musical, theatrical and visual art skills to the table along with a real and life-long love of role-playing. He knows the rules for the RPGs he runs and game-play moves along smoothly and fairly. He is very organised and runs full and very satisfying sessions.. If you are looking for an immersive and really enjoyable gaming experience jump in and grab a seat at Adi's table.

Adi, really set the tone and immersed everyone through the use of music, images, and his descriptions that included other senses aside from visual. Interactions between characters and NPCs were entertaining and his knowledge of the lore for Middle Earth is on point.

Gameplay details

Common sense and a good sense of humour go a long way. If a problematic topic arises just mention it, we deal with it and we turn the page. Or even better: we roleplay through it, you get your cathartic moment and your life is changed forever with one burden less to carry on with. When needed, we will take the necessary time to debrief between sessions in order to reharmonise everyone's goals and expectations. Putting and keeping a strong and successful group together is no easy task and demands fervent dedication and effort from everyone involved. This project is about putting together a strong group that is ready to address all aspects of reality.
