About the adventure
University is a difficult time for even the most well-adjusted and affluent students. For many, it is the first time they leave their home, the first time they meet people different from them, the first time their preconceived notions they learned from their family and life are challenged. You are not well-adjusted or affluent. But you do have a first that your classmates will never experience. Your first transformation. And you can't ignore it, those things you once ignored or found easier to pretend didn't exist. But now, you can't stop. You see the companies burning the land, squeezing every drop of profit leaving nothing behind. You hear the cries of the land, screaming out in pain and anguish. You *feel* the Rage burn in your veins, a clarion call to action that you know will overtake you if you don't channel it. But what can you do? You're just a group of university students, drawn together by this kinship of beasthood and spirits. Alone and helpless. No matter how much your blood burns, you can't end the march of the Wyrm. Right?

About me
We have all had that moment where we encountered something that sparked our interest in TTRPGs: catching a glimpse of a fantasy cover art, connecting with a heroic character arc in a film, getting caught up in the grand story of a video game – something that inspired us to say “I could do something like that!” For me, that moment came one afternoon ten years ago when, after numerous failed starts, I resolved that if no else was willing to take the DM’s chair, I’d just have to it myself. My whole life had led me to that moment and I haven’t looked back since. My name is J. Lawrence Kenny and in addition to a half decade of Dungeon Mastering, I hold a BFA in Theatre Performance and bring three decades of acting and storytelling experience to my table. Nothing brings me greater joy then when my party cheers, or gasps in horror, or let loose a string of expletives (or any combo of all three!) over a story moment I have spent hours devising just for them. Your characters will be personally tied into whatever is happening - their stories, their goals, will fuel and shape the events of the campaign. And, with a little luck, you will experience a complete character arc with a dramatic and satisfying conclusion…or at least be left with an interesting hook to carry onto the next adventure! At my table you will interact with memorable NPCs, explore unique and expansive worlds, and take center stage in compelling stories that will leave plenty of room for individuality and lateral thinking. Your character will always be the driving force; the underdog overcoming antagonists far beyond their limits, the everyman catapulted onto the stage of grand events, the hero who saves the world. The stories we create together will be far more interesting and fun than the stories we could create alone.

Creating your character
This is a campaign using the W:tA system, the setting being a mid-size university in "insert town here, USA". Bring a character that fits that setting, or you can pick up a pre-gen character.

How J Lawrence Kenny creates a safe table
Werewolf: the Apocalypse is a fiction first game that touches on many sensitive subjects of our modern era, destruction, classism, climate change, capitalism. While I will gladly work with any triggers or worries you have, and I have no desire to perpetuate harmful stereotypes, if these cornerstones bother you to the point where you feel it would impact your experience, this may not be the system or story for you. To quote the book, "This is a game about monsters. But it is only a game. Don’t use it as an excuse to be a monster yourself."
