Takeaways The werewolf trope often represents the struggle between humanity and primal instincts. Underworld faced legal issues due to similarities with World of Darkness lore. True Blood is considered a successful adaptation of Vampire: The Masquerade themes. Character creation in Werewolf: The Apocalypse is more structured compared to Vampire. Combat in Werewolf is especially deadly, particularly when in human form. Silver poses a serious threat to werewolves, inflicting aggravated damage. Touchstones are vital for maintaining a character’s emotional balance and humanity. Chronicles in World of Darkness serve as the overarching campaign framework. Tenets guide player morality and shape in-game decisions and actions. The game promotes creativity in crafting character backstories and roleplaying interactions.
