I was wondering, after 20 years of SR , a world with wizards, elves, orks, trolls dragons, vampires nad lawyers-why were there never any rules developed for werewolves?
I know there were the loup garou but I mean really, in a game system that includes the various strains of HMHVV and shape shifters why nothing about a communicable magical disease. I know you can have house rules, we do, but do any of the people on the inside of the design team looking out know why this never happened? |
