Werewolf game hosted by Spiny Creature
As the Wolf Turns Episode 101: “Autumn of the Matriarch”
INT. THE SNAKE PIT – NIGHT
Four SHADOWY FIGURES sit at the bar, nursing drinks in a moldy old dive.
FIGURE #1
I used to be one of them. I used to have everything.
FIGURE #2
I never was. Ever since I was born, this town let me know I was an outcast.
FIGURE #3
…It’s not even wrong, is it?
FIGURE #4
To kill them all? I’d say it’s the least they deserve.
INT. VON CLEEF FAMILY MANSION – PARLOR – DAY
Cut to a crowd shot of glamorous people eating hors d’ouevres in the parlor.
MALE GUEST
Strange the Von Cleefs would throw such a huge party for Petunia when she’s too ill to come downstairs, isn’t it?
FEMALE GUEST
You don’t know the Von Cleefs very well. They have to go all out for Petunia’s 80th birthday. They’re still hoping for a better share of her inheritance.
MALE GUEST
Hmm. Did you hear an inmate escaped from the Soapstone Sanitarium for the Criminally Impaired yesterday?
Before the guest can answer, a hoarse scream from upstairs ends all conversation. CUT TO:
INT. VON CLEEF FAMILY MANSION – PETUNIA’S BEDROOM – DAY
Close-up on PETUNIA VON CLEEF, 80 years old and frail, swaddled in furs in her bed. Her cake has fallen to the floor as she screams. Her horrible son, MASON VON CLEEF, hovers over her.
PETUNIA VON CLEEF
Oh, it’s horrible! My Lord – how could anyone –
MASON VON CLEEF
Mother! Mother, get a hold of yourself! You’re confused again –
PETUNIA VON CLEEF
I am not confused, you impotent afterbirth! They were in the hallway, just outside. I could hear them – they said they’d kill us all – they said they’d start tonight –
MASON VON CLEEF
What? Whom did you hear?
PETUNIA VON CLEEF
Those four – the four of them – my Lord! The lack of MANNERS!
Petunia clutches her chest as the shock overcomes her. As her fatal heart attack begins, Mason turns to the wide-eyed guests.
MASON VON CLEEF
…Whomstever was talking about murder and frightening my mother… you will pay. With your lives.

Factions:
8 Soapstone Residents (Town)
1 Troubled Cop (Town)
1 Sexy Doctor (Town)
4 Vengeful Outcasts (Wolves)
1 Escaped Asylum Inmate (Serial Killer)
Day One Rules:
The Outcasts know each other’s identities and share a private chat. The Escaped Asylum Inmate works alone and also kills one player per night.
The Troubled Cop may investigate the alignment of one player per night. The Sexy Doctor may choose one player to treat per night. If that player was targeted by either the Outcasts or the Inmate, they are saved from death, but cannot use their night action while hospitalized.
A player’s faction (and any extra roles) will be revealed upon death. Dead players can make farewell ghost-posts, but should not discuss game-related things or upvote game-related theories. Dead players will also get a link to The Graveyard chat.
You vote by replying to the first comment, the vote thread. Sort by Oldest to find it. To change your vote, simply post a new reply. DO NOT CHANGE A VOTE BY EDITING.
You may deliberately choose to vote for no one by replying “No lynch” in the vote thread. If the vote is tied at Twilight (end of day), nobody will be lynched. Please make at least 3 posts per game-day, or you may need a backup to replace you.
DO NOT EDIT ANY POSTS. This game operates on trust that people won’t change what they said once it’s inconvenient to them. If you are caught editing posts, you may be mod-killed.
DO NOT QUOTE QT OR POST SCREENSHOTS FROM QT. You are free to make claims about your powers and faction on the day threads, but you cannot back them up with exact QT wording. Paraphrasing is fine within reason (please don’t just change one word).
Days will last about 24 hours unless a majority vote is reached before that. Nights will last 12 hours. Day/Night lengths may be adjusted as necessary.
If you have questions that may be revealing, feel free to ask them in your personal QT. You are encouraged to ask questions about the rules of the game, how your role works, and whatever else comes to mind!
Be as dramatic as you please in-character, but be nice to your fellow players and be rational out-of-character! Not that you lovely people need the reminder 🙂 Get to it!
