Man's Worst Friend

Joe,

Bayer Lupo I've never heard of.  I have heard of an old Judge Dredd issue where a bunch of werewolves were supposedly shipped into space or something.  There was a twist to it that I just don't recall at the moment.

And I was just reminded of another reason to go with wolves.  Packs of werewolves.  It's really the only way I could justify having more than one PC at a time.  Again, Urge is designed specifically for that sort of thing - one or two players at a time - and my design was trying to stay away from that.  So all of the players are members of the same pack, and maybe they hook up in real life, and maybe they only know each other through their flashbacks, but at least they have a reason to be involved in each other's stories, even if only in a tangential way.  

More later...

Two guys on a spaceship are chatting about how they have amazing opportunities on this ship, a huge colony ship. One guy cackles and explains how _he_ has all the opportunity, because he is "Bayer Lupo! The first werewolf in outer space!" The other guy seems... worried. Lupo cackles a lot, expecting a meal. But then the other guy turns out to be a werewolf too. The two weres decided to divide up the ship between them. And soon realise the ship is full of werewolves.

Cut to Earth, where the next colony shop is being boarded. A sinister, small man in a cloak offers his ticket to the hostess, saying 'The name is Alucard. Count Alucard'.

Ta-dum.

Packs! Yes, you're right. Lots of opportunity there. Two characters who interact unnaturally well... have you seen 'Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai'? I won't give away the spoiler there. If you've seen the movie, then I'm thinking of the 'best friends'. If you haven't seen the movie, it's well worth your while. Much better than I'd expected.

Lest this turn into a movie review post, g'night.

Joe.
