SPOOKTOBER - HOW TO PLAY WEREWOLF, THE APOCALYPSE ACTUAL PLAY - Part I

RPGBOT.Podcast

The RPGBOT crew is back, and this time we’re diving deep into werewolf drama, diner banter, AND suspicious horticulture clubs (because who doesn’t love a good cult mystery?). Join us in Barton's Crux for some hilarious character intros, greasy food debates, and a wild investigation that takes us from pie to murder rituals in the woods! Murder, mayhem, and the WORST cops ever? Check. 🐾 Werewolf transformations? You bet. All the laughs? ALWAYS.

Summary

In this laugh-out-loud episode, the RPGBOT crew dives into the wild world of the Werewolf RPG, where fangs, fur, and…horticulture clubs? (Yeah, you read that right.) The gang introduces their colorful cast of werewolves living in the not-at-all-creepy town of Barton's Crux. They unpack their tragic (and sometimes ridiculously hilarious) backstories, including a mystery involving a guy named Mitchell and some seriously suspicious plants.

Cue a diner scene where our furry heroes debate the finer points of greasy food, what it means to be “successful” (spoiler: it’s not about money, it’s about looking cool while eating pie), and their eclectic personal styles. The squad bands together to track down a missing person, using their super-werewolf skills—because why investigate like normal people when you can shapeshift into a four-legged murder machine?

But wait, there’s more! They trot off into the woods, sniffing out clues like canine detectives and stumble upon some gruesome evidence: bodies, rituals, and a potential cult (because, of course, there’s a cult). Things take a turn for the seriously messed up as they realize their small-town murder mystery is way more "satanic ritual" than "Miss Marple."

Naturally, they also have to deal with the local cops, who are suspiciously bad at noticing werewolves in their midst. It’s tense, it’s awkward, and someone might accidentally get themselves arrested (again).

All in all, this episode is a rollercoaster of laughs, suspense, and fur-raising adventure. And don't worry—there's even more mayhem to come in the next one!
