Just *have* to share this.
First off, I'm running an Apocalypse-scenario for Werewolf, following the
Last Battleground, with a few additions of my own.
My players have met Nightmaster already, and although they think he's a bit
of a creepy dude [yup], he can be reasoned with [yup] and is actually a
pretty ok guy [nope]. After all, he drained a BSD-sept of their life-force
when they tried to invade the Abyss, so the man can obviously only be
fighting for Gaia. Also, they've gotten it into their heads that, since the
Abyss is where all lost information etc. end up, Nightmaster must know a lot
of things that have been forgotten. The guy must be very wise after living
there so long...
I've based a storyline around one of the ToJ-news ticker items, the one that
mentions: "There have been no instances of viable Garou birth for more than
a year. All children and pups born to Garou and Kin parents since the winter
solstice of last year have been ordinary Kin human babies or wolf pups, and
my sources tell me that Garou mothers pregnant with metis have persistently
miscarried."
However, I shifted the end of Garou births several years into the past (15
years before present) and added a twist: one final generation of Garou is
being born, one for each Tribe. Prophecies mention these cubs and the need
to train them. The player pack seems destined to gather the last generation
of Garou (avoiding red herrings and trying to figure out whom to replace the
poor cub with that was in Bangladesh when Ravnos was nuked).
Now, instead of leading all these cubs to the Legendary Realm as the
prophecies hint (to have them trained by the ancestors, age to adulthood in
a couple of earth-months due to time-differentials and nicely introducing
them to the problems of the place), the PCs think it's a swell idea to have
the cubs trained by the all-knowing, oh-so-powerful Nightmaster, Lord of the
Abyss...
I figure, hey, who am I to burst their bubble...*before* they find out
Nightmaster is deeply in thrall of the Wyrm, that is? 😀
Well, hope this was amusing...I thought so, couldn't burst out laughing at
the table yesterday, but I *had* to share it with someone. Tough luck that
it was you guys, eh? 😉

God tells us in the book of Genesis, right after Noah's Flood, to eat
everything under the sun. Those who ignore his instructions are no better
than godless heathens.
