Whatever one would want to happen could happen. It's the GMs world, do what you will. Want full time wolf form? Go for it. Want never a wolf? Go for it. Heck, we now have authors changing things to friendly, glittering, vampires in full sunlight that drink deer blood (blasphemy), so anything would seem to be on the table.

I opted for the cover with the giant. All three were available at Gen Con.



Previously, I had always seen the campaign books titled "Great Pendragon Campaign VOL x."

I corrected my post above. The book does reference "The Great Pendragon Campaign" just not in the title.

But back to this book: is it more a book with background or with scenarios?

It's a mix.

The easiest answer is that it would just be a wolf indefinitely; and that any werewolf sufficiently removed from the moon (like in a spaceship, out of the solar system) will never experience the trigger/impetus for a change.

I'm going based on the notion that the moon (for whatever reason, symbolically) IS the trigger.

Anyways, when you think about folklore/mythology/religion, it often won't account for space age musings like extraterrestrial travel because the people that this stuff originated with didn't really have any conception/consideration for this. So it's not like you'll find an 'official' ruling. Religious authorities nowadays do sometimes jokingly talk about these things (when various holy days and fasts and such would occur if you lived on the ISS or somewhere farther away) but the truth of the matter is that our calendars (whether solar or lunar) or strongly tied to us being earthbound people.

Not to derail the topic, but what I wonder about is what happens to a werewolf's fur when he changes back to a person? Movies always depict the change from man to wolf, with hair growth, nails growing longer, the body, limbs, and mouth contorting to a new shape... but what happens to the fur and nails when they change back? Do the nails and teeth get shorter? Does the hair recede into the skin? Does it shed? It's kind of a funny/ridiculous image. Does it just disappear (almost like evaporating)?

If we're going to get into it mechanically though ....

For all the werewolf-like affects to work, the subject has basically got to be able to see a full moon? Basically, a full disc of the moon's surface has to be visible? Because from Earth, even when it's not a full moon, the full disc of the moon is still there, we just can't see it all because it's not all lit up by the sun. Given that, from the surface of the moon the werewolf wouldn't be able to see the full disc of the moon. Therefore, no lycanthropy powers at all!

You're right, for a werewolf to survive it would have to have the backing of a space agency behind it with all the resources required to sustain it's unnatural life.

But I tell you what, that would make one hell of a claustrophobic scenario if one of the Apollo astronauts were actually a werewolf.

QOTD AUG 6: What would happen to a traditional werewolf it was actually on the moon? How does/would lycanthropy work in space? Do any space RPGs have rules for werewolves or similar creatures?

If it moved to Denver that would greatly increase my odds of attending before 2046 — my little puddle-jumper airport has direct flights to Denver, so that would cut my airfare in half. Maybe more.

Which cover do you have? The one with the knight and the creature mentions "A Pendragon Campaign".

I suppose this stems from the Greg Stafford's saying: Your Pendragon will vary, as he said it about Glorantha. “Your Glorantha Will Vary” (YGWV) meant that despite the massive amount of official lore, myths, and history, your own game table's version of the world is completely valid and encouraged to change to fit your group. I think he said this because of some people (fans) who were waiting for information about a specific region before they could dare a campaign there.

But back to this book: is it more a book with background or with scenarios?

I am REALLY hoping that they put the Strider Mode in the core book.
