Who Drives Plot? Player or Storyteller

The Werewolf Den

Two old Storytellers offering tips and story ideas for Werewolf: The Apocalypse. With 5th Edition looming we are talking about role-play tips and tricks for Werewolf: The Apocalypse for new, rusty, and veteran players and storytellers.

A crash course introduction on the differences between Player Driven Plot and Storyteller Driven Plot. Storytellers, Amylin and Ryan, talk about the basics, offer tips for players looking for new approaches, and caution against common poor/overdone concepts for new players.

Coarse language, political discourse, and sensitive topics.

To accompany today's episode we created a Google form for Storytellers to utilize for pre-Session 0 set-up with their players. It includes a section for Storytellers to pitch their game and setting, a robust listing for establishing the Lines & Veils Safety Tool, and a survey with questions designed for helping Players brainstorm their character concepts while clueing in the Storytellers on what sort of hooks to offer to encourage Player Driven Plot. Simply Copy it to your own Drive account and Edit where prompted to and as you see fit.
