Trying to see the light vis a vis Forsaken
Hey yall, longtime lurker and apocalypse fan here. I'm probably retreading long-worn ground by saying this, but after hearing about how much people swear by Forsaken as the best werewolf system, I decided to take a quick look at the lore. Problem is, I kinda just bounced off it. To be honest, I'm a little bit frustrated by this, bc I'd like to see what the Forsaken enjoyers are seeing here. I've heard it explained as being magical cops/border patrol, but I don't like either of those things. What appeals to me about apocalypse is that it feels like the garou are incompatible with the world that humans have built, and they're all desperately lashing out because it's the closest thing they have to attempting to fix it. On the contrary, the lore of Forsaken feels like the Uratha have a spiritually ordained career/hobby that they love doing, almost like hunting spirits is like going golfing after work. Again, what I know about Forsaken is limited to what I've seen on this sub's posts and some extremely grainy PDFs, so if anyone wants to help me see what makes Forsaken so great, that'd be appreciated!
