About the adventure
🐺 Austin by Moonlight is a persistent, asynchronous Play-by-Post Werewolf: The Forsaken 2e chronicle set in a spiritually volatile version of modern Austin, TX. This is a living sandbox, where each player belongs to a pack or operates as a lone wolf carving out their place across the Gauntlet. Austin is a city of exploding growth, shifting territory lines, powerful loci, and violent spirit ecosystems reacting to every new mortal trend. Tech booms, political upheaval, and cultural tension echo through the Shadow, creating chaotic change that the Forsaken must confront—or die trying. This is not a linear adventure. It is an ongoing, open-world exploration where: Packs claim territory Spirits fight for dominance Totems rise or fall Human lives twist under spiritual influence And each PC shapes the fate of the city Your character’s choices will actively alter both the real world and the Hisil, rippling out across the entire chronicle. 🔥What Players Will Experience A fully mapped Austin divided into spiritual territories, loci, and pack domains Personal story threads tailored to your Auspice, Tribe, and Renown Opportunity to found, join, or challenge packs The city reacting dynamically to PC choices (spirit courts move, loci shift, omens appear) Mystery arcs involving Austin’s spirit ecology, politics, and ancient predators Real-world Austin landmarks with supernatural counterparts in the Hisil Chance to claim and defend territory against rival packs, Hosts, and intruding spirits 🌫️Tone & Themes Modern tribal horror Duty, Oaths, and the Hunt Rage vs. restraint Spirit ecology Pack bonds, loyalty, betrayal Southern Gothic meets urban expansion “What does it cost to keep the balance?” Dangerous magic and primal instinct

About me
Hello. Welcome to my table... I am a game master with over 2 decades worth of experience running games of various systems, settings, and genres. Everyone is welcome at my table! I love that roleplaying games engage imagination and improvisation in both the players and the GM. I craft unforgettable tabletop experiences steeped in darkness, mystery, and high-stakes storytelling. Whether unraveling ancient conspiracies, surviving apocalyptic horrors, or battling cosmic forces, I lead players through worlds where danger lurks in every shadow. I thrive on making stories with the characters. I am known to improvise very well with whatever the characters want to do and give consequences when appropriate. I don’t seek to kill characters, but I also don’t like to hold punches in combat. I cater my style based on the game and setting we are playing. I have a physical condition called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC for short) that limits strength and mobility in my appendages, so my mind and imagination are my biggest assets. I love telling a story and being part of the creative process for others’ creativity!
