Encounters for Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition

Building scenes that challenge without stalling. Werewolf sessions shine when you balance spirit-world stakes, pack identity, and moral pressure from corruption.

Checklist

  • Define what the Wyrm’s corruption looks like in this chronicle.
  • Make pack choices visible: who they protect, who they hurt, what they sacrifice.
  • Use spirits as characters with wants and prices.
  • Track Renown and make Rank feel earned in story terms.
Common pitfalls
  • Only fighting, no spirit/social scenes
  • Renown as numbers only
  • No cost to rage
Combat cheat sheet
