Garou

It's Friday night, and you know what that means.

It's time for Hellhounds, our Werewolf: The Apocalypse fifth edition chronicles set in Tampa Bay, Florida, where a pack of young Garou have traveled from Michigan to assist the Sept of the Evening Star in combating the forces of the Wyrm, both physical and spiritual.

You can follow Saint Pete by Night on all of the social media listed in the description down below, and you can join our community by following that Discord link where you could take part in one of the many activities we have running all month long.

We are now offering for players to run or play in 20th anniversary or Chronicles of Darkness games as well, so head on over and join our community today.

Astrid starts to say, "Well, I..." And then Victoria cuts her off, going, "What's the matter, Quinn? You want some alone time?"

Uh, Quinn will lean in to Victoria just a little bit, says, uh, "I mean, if that's what you want, that's sure, but I wanna make sure we're actually gonna survive this."

"Me too, but we're not stupid like some of the other Garou in the area.

We don't split the party."

I was looking at this specific image mentioned, uh, in the source.

Uh, it's Saitama and this character named Garou.

Oh, yeah.

That panel is iconic.

Now as a reminder to our viewers, Larry is a young man in his very early 20s with tannish skin, very dark black hair that almost kind of goes just below his ears almost to his shoulders.

Uh, he's got a very kind of baby-ish face despite everything he's been through, despite being raised in Garou cu- or in biker culture, and now being initiated into Garou culture, there is still this beautiful innocence about him in his very nature.

Uh, like he looks like he's too young to possibly be here.

Now, in a surprising turn even- events, he no longer is wearing the prospect vest, and is in fact a full member of the Howlers now, which for those who watch at home know that that is a change in his status as of late.

But Izzy, as you're walking into this encounter, what's going through your mind? This is not your typical scene at all.

Uh, it is very much departure from what you're used to.

But in a way, you can also still see the similarities between it and Garou culture in the bond that bikers tend to have.

But what is going through your mind walking into this scenario?

And it's Sunday night, and you know what that means.

It's time for Red Tide Rising, our Vampire the Masquerade 5th edition chronicle set in the city of Tampa, Florida, where a young coterie of anarchindrid A quickly diminishing coterie of Anarch Kindred attempt to carve out a piece of the city for their very own while combating the threats of the Camarilla and the looming presence of Garou in the area.

But before we get to all that...

I'd like you to go follow St. Pete by Night on all of the social media you see down below.

So then cut to me reading the Bastet pre-book and holy cats, there is an entire separate setting in this book.

You can very easily run a werecat game without ever touching on the cosmology or traditions or social norms of the Garou at all, but the fact that they do connect is part of what made me really appreciate the scope of Werewolf as a game for the first time.

So with apologies to diehard fans of Werewolf, I give the Bastet book, and I will not apologize for this pun, the lion's share of credit for pushing my idea of the game world in entirely new directions.

But I know you want to talk about their mythology and beliefs, so I'll tack on my further comments about their culture after that.

I mean, Vampire was a very thirsty game.

So this is not unsurprising in the world of darkness.

And honestly, it's refreshing compared to Garou's sex life, which often seems to veer into eugenics.

But I'll agree that these are paragraphs I didn't need here.

Last week, we saw Jester, after being put on room arrest, house arrest, following the whole incident at the field, was finally released, proven innocent of any wrongdoing.

But could she actually accept that within herself, having felt like she had embarrassed Charles and screwed everything up with her being in Vermont? Luckily, they have a therapist on staff by the name of Artie, who came for a visit and reassured Jester that not only did she do nothing wrong, it's pretty typical in Garou society to have disagreements for every now and then for individuals to lose control, and that- Charles was not in fact upset with her, but was more worried about her wellbeing and that she was doing okay, which all of this combined put Jester at a sense of ease and was able to help recover from whatever guilt she had started to feel.

After that, we saw Jace and Izzy meet up with Skeeter at the Split Helm to have a little bit of discussion about the current state of things, as well as hearing what's going on with the vampires and much, much more.

But it was a nice formal introduction for Isadoro to the Farah known as Skeeter, as it had been kind of vaguely glossed over in their last meeting and not really introduced directly.

I really am.

I know being here has stirred up some feelings, and seeing the way things operate around here makes it seem harsh to grow up in, but I was supported.

I was, for all intents and purposes, loved in the way that the Silverfangs and the Garou show affection, especially at such a high tier.

And I learned a lot, and I had to unlearn some of it when I was out in the real world, which is why such a journey was important.

She casually held back a Dragon level threat with one hand while levitating several tons of debris with the other.

Even Garou in his monster form acknowledged her strength, noting her power could flatten nearly anyone short of Saitama.

And since Tatsumaki won against Psychos, which were meant to be our third candidate, naturally our choice here will be Tatsumaki.

Now, this was just the first two points, and we've still got another 16 points left to analyze.

As the ultimate fusion of Black Sperm, a dragon level threat, Platinum Sperm is incredibly powerful.

Using only its head tentacle, he could severely injure and incapacitate multiple heroes, including S class ones, with a single strike each.

When pushed to his limits, he matched an evolved Garou in strength, engaging in hundreds to thousands of blows before being defeated.

But still, the fact he could do that says a lot, and I do think his strength surpassed even Darkshine's.
