In a world where the existence of Vampires and Werecreatures was exposed in the early 2010s with the advent of smart phones and social media (and then opportunistic individuals going public on national and global television).
To the Windy Plains Pack, home, hearth, and family are the most important priorities. That’s why they accept any shapeshifter willing to abide by their rules as family. Pack-- Family --comes first. Everyone has a job. And no one starts any trouble that could harm the Pack.
Set on the outskirts of Cheyenne, Wyoming, The Windy Plains ranch is home to the local shifter Pack. On just over 300,000 acres of land, the Windy Plains has been home to the Brunson family for seven or eight generations. Unfortunately, the local vampire Circle has decided they want that land. The city has been pushing closer and closer to the edge of shifter territory and now the Windy Plains is prime real estate for new, lucrative development.
Warfare comes in many forms.

WHAT: The Pack is a game focused on a gigantic multi-animal shifter pack, located on a generational family ranch on the outside of Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Pack would be happy to continue running their ranch with little outside intervention. However, the Cheyenne City Circle of Vampires has decided to invest in urbanizing more of the land outside of Cheyenne… and they want the Pack’s land. Roleplay is meant to be family, ranch, and pack oriented. This is a game of Family vs Enemies (shapeshifters vs vampires), urbanization encroaching on relatively untamed landscapes, and small town struggles against big city money. All with supernatural adventures and mysteries.
PCs will be allowed to play shapeshifters of almost any RL predatory animal (something that would bite a human being). Or human beings associated with the pack.

WHEN: I’m putting on the finishing touches of grid and some theme webpages, then will be working on pregenned characters and npcs. I’m aiming for a soft open to alpha sometime within December. People are welcome to log in before hand and chat. But we don’t encourage starting chargen just yet.

Hello! I have been slowly working on this game for a while now. I’m getting to a point where I may be able to open to alpha! I have to finish the grid (which isn’t as much of a thing on Ares games, thank god), add a little bit of info to the theme pages (oh my god I need more than just stat blocks for the monsters), and finish up NPCs and roster characters.
I’m not really sure where to advertise these days, so here I am! Whoo! Hi! Also, I’d very much be happy if anyone wanted to leave me feedback on anything that is confusing or doesn’t make sense. I apologize for any typos or grammar errors on the wiki (I normally have someone else proof read my stuff because my brain doesn’t accept grammar and glosses right over typos).
Anyway, I’ve been chipping away at this and I’m getting excited. I just wanted to share with people.

Oh, I’ve also just recently changed my mind about allowing human PCs as well as shapeshifter ones, so if you see any references on the website to humans not being allowed… disregard I’m going to go through and make sure all the pages are consistent before I open for apps.
