This is the sign-up thread for the 46th game of Werewolf. I have tagged players of WW45 and the “House of the Rising Werewolf”, as well as some who have expressed an interest elsewhere in playing. It will remain open for about a week or until we have a decent number of players.
Folks who are new to the game of Werewolf are encouraged to join the fun, as well. To help you get up to speed on how Werewolf is played, a general overview of the game can be found in How to play werewolf, link here: www.brenbarn.net/werewolf/rules.html
So.... Have you ever wanted to be a Time Lord like Doctor Who? Well, this is your chance. You’ll even get your very own TARDIS!....On the other hand, do you dislike The Doctor with such a passion that you can almost taste it? If so, this is your opportunity to destroy every Time Lord that ever walked the face of the planet Gallifrey. Either way, just post in this thread to join the game.
In case you’re wondering, knowledge of “Doctor Who” is not necessary to play. However, some understanding of its basic story line and characters might enhance your enjoyment of the game. You can find a ton of stuff on-line. A pretty comprehensive article is on Wikipedia; link here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who
For those who prefer a shorter introduction into the "timey wimey" universe of Doctor Who and Time Lords, the following is a brief description:
~ From Encyclopedia Galactica (Isaac Asimov, “Foundation” Edition)
“TIME LORDS. Refers to a humanoid-like species that has existed for nearly seven billion years on the planet Gallifrey. They are governed by “The Council of Time Lords” which has ruled over Gallifrey for the last one-hundred thousand centuries. Time Lords have the technological capability of traveling throughout the entire Universe and anywhere in Time via ships they refer to as ‘TARDIS’es. They also have a remarkably long life-span and upon death are able to regenerate a new life and appearance. It is unknown whether the source of their regenerative ability is purely biological, a product of their advanced technology, or a combination of both....By nature they are a quarrelsome race, often at war with the inhabitants of other worlds, as well as themselves. They are currently enmeshed in a devastating civil conflict between the “Loyalists” and the renegade “Blackguard”. Adding to the internal chaos are several ancient alien enemies of the Time Lords attempting to capitalize on the Gallifreyan unrest, including Cybermen, Daleks, The Silence, and Weeping Angels. The Time Lords that are known to be actively engaged on either side of the rebellion, itself, are:
Markanite
Boltor
Ater Nox
Palman
Ardreas
Witchcraft and Sorcery
Dominion of Compassion
Aersoldorf
Bolt
Sheynat

Almonaster
Tierra de Madre
Jin

Hahiha / USSR

”As of this update it is unknown which of the foregoing Time Lords, if any, will survive the turmoil and destruction that they have - in large measure - brought upon themselves.”
A Doctor Who themed game? Count me in! I'm new to werewolf, but what better time to start?
but I really like Barry and his games. Tagging and hopefully it doesn't start for a few days to give it time to settle down before I make a proper decision about joining.
