[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I don't know how my time/participation will be (depending on when we are planning to start), but then again, I haven't played WW for ages, so whatever! I think I'll play.

As for the setting, I am more than happy with a simple game, but the werebear-thing, if it comes to be, sounds also rather brilliant (and in any case, while it's a "non-basic" thing, it still isn't anything groundbreaking). I think there isn't any rule-issue or imbalance-issue if I think about the werebear (apart from "woe be us if the WWs actually succeed in turning him!). Maybe just this question - will turning the Werebear mean that the WWs will get an extra kill per Night? Or will it mean that the Werebear would simply become a Wolf, and thus, the number of kills per Night will actually drop at the point when he is turned? Or maybe the number of kills will depend on the number of WWs - say, we have 3 WWs in the beginning, they have one kill, but once they become four (by turning the WB), they get an extra kill, but once one of them gets lynched, they are back at one kill? I am also currently trying to figure out whether it might not be interesting, in such a case, that the Werebear would be actually the figure granting the extra kill - i.e. the kill will not depending on the number of WWs, but on the presence of the WB. Once the WWs lose him, there will be one kill less, but if there is e.g. just one Wolf and one Wolfbear, they still get two kills. Maybe that idea brings in too much inbalance, however (or more like, confusion). But just as food for thought...

Also, once the Bear has been turned a Wolf, if all the "natural" WWs die but the Wolf-Bear survives, will it still count as Wolf victory? (I'm assuming yes, but just for the sake of clarity I am asking this now...)

That is, if we really get to have a bear in the end anyway...
