Did you ever come across an idea/concept that at first glance seemed utterly stupid, but the more you thought about it, the more you realized that you actually liked it?
Pic related: Tacticool werewolf operators.
i dunno it seems if you have an important stealth infiltration mission then turning into a huge wild killing beast with zero self-control doesn't seem like a tactical advantage
>>47857914
Personally I think werewolf operators works best in a sort of wacky occult world war 2 type setting.
Although actually, Werewolf 'Nam could probably be pretty fun, too.

I'm now imagening Operation Werwolf (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werwolf) with real lycanthropes...
>>47857949
No, see, you keep them in human form for the infiltration part of the mission then you change them into wolf form once the target is sighted.
>>47858041
How are people this stupid?
The best assassin is one who doesn't need to hide.
>>47857949
I think the real advantages lie more in the across the board buffs they get even when not wolfing out (sharper senses, ridiculous durability and physical resilience, et cetera), than in the actual ability to turn into a massive, bloodraging, murder machine. Though if you need to make a distraction for the rest of your team to get away...
>>47858159

99% of all operations would be traditional, cloak and dagger, hit and run type stuff.
The transformation would be if shit goes south, you and your team are now cut off and surrounded, and you either need to make an eacape route or need to take as many people out as possible before going down.

How actually does eyesight in wolves compare to humans?
>>47858802
Poorer color perception, better night vision, not sure about resolution at distance.
>>47857914
I once wrote werewolves as secret terror weapons meant to be used behind the enemy lines, but the campaign petered out before I could introduce them. (it would've been basically the Rock, but with lycanthropes)

I only read like the first issue, but it's some comic about a girl who turns werewolf and gets recruited by a spec ops squad of werewolves.
>>47857914
nice magical realm, faggot. Take your fetish elsewhere
>>47858922
I like this idea more than the OP's. The way I'd run it, one nation would capture a werewolf (or perhaps he's one of them to begin with) and get him into enemy held territory. Once the full moon hits, he'd go berserk in a town or village somewhere, infecting a bunch of people. Doesn't matter if he dies as long as he passes on the curse.
A month later the victims turn into werewolves and infect a bunch more people. Bonus points if the original target was a tourist destination so that the curse spreads back to their homes.
This continues on, forcing the enemy to dedicate resources to stamping the curse out or risk having their population gradually turned into werewolves, losing a significant number of people every month too.
>>47859670
>one nation would capture a werewolf (or perhaps he's one of them to begin with) and get him into enemy held territory.
So basically the backstory to Alien.
Except furry.
>>47859704
Hadn't actually thought of it that way, but I can see the connection... I'm not above stealing good ideas for my campaigns.
Also, I don't go in for this furry bullshit. Werewolves are vicious, man eating monsters, with no benefits for them in human form. They're cursed, not given some extra abilities to make them a counterpart to vampires.
>>47859653
>Magical realm
You don't even know what the word you're using means. Get the fuck out and/or stop whining because you don't like what OP posted. This is a legitimate thread.
>>47859803
>Also, I don't go in for this furry bullshit.
I just meant it literally, as in a xenomorph but with pelt.
>>47859952
Oh, never mind then. That word gets thrown about as an insult so often on this board that I can't think of it any other way now.
But yeah, I like the idea of using werewolves as biological weapons. I mean, what better way of disrupting your enemy's society than having their own people slaughter each other every month?
>>47860051
Bah, if you just want them for their infectious properties, might as well use vampires. They have the whole undead horror, unsatiable blood urges, zombie's sharper cousin vibe going for them anyway. If you're going to use a werewolf as a weapon, it would be as steroids for your troops. After all, most werewolves get buffs in their non-wolf form as well, while not being as out of control as vampires.
>>47860137
>Bah, if you just want them for their infectious properties, might as well use vampires.
I really think the idea of vampire bites being viral is stupid.
Werewolf? Maybe, after all you have to be A) the target of the attack and they usually maul animals in the wilderness and B) survive the attack which is highly unlikely.
Whereas vampires implicitely target humans and are usually sapient as to not suck them dry, as such the victim would be highly likely to also turn into a vampire yadda yadda fast forward oops everyone's a vamp unlesss they decide to start sucking cows.
>>47860137
Nah, I prefer vampires to fill a different niche. Where werewolves are uncontrolled growth and bloodlust, vampires are more human-like.
Also, I said earlier in the thread that I prefer my werewolves to be legitimately cursed. No passive buffs in human form. They're either regular, normal, human, or they're a ravening monster. No control, no becoming one with the beast. You're possessed by something that just wants to feed and kill. Nothing more, nothing less.
Vampires, on the other hand, are less physically powerful in my preferred settings, but they're just as smart as other humans and have centuries of experience to make them dangerous. While vampirism is a curse, it isn't one with an off switch.
>>47860556
I prefer the idea that vampires have to kill to turn their victims and that most vampires choose not to do so because they've generally got a good thing going for themselves and don't want to fuck it up by murdering a bunch of people.
>>47859119
That's the ENTIRE point of werewolves, anon. It's a curse. A blight. Bestial rage beyond the control of man, erupting and causing terrible havoc.

nah, vamps are still smart. sooner or later they're going to get organized and start forming their own undead army.
with werewolves you get people who are so scared of the monster they become they never think of teaming up with others and when they're wolves there only cunning and be taken out with relative ease when it's time for clean up

If you're not gonna make them werewolves then don't call them werewolves. You're using words that have a specific meaning and cutting out half of what they are.

How are you such a yiffing furry faggot
>>47863345
Werewolf means Man-Wolf
Sure it's got a lot of history to the traditional "Loss of self on the full moon as their body goes off to rip and tear.", but there have been subversions and alternate interpretations for decades. Insisting that any instance of anything conform to one well known version is absurd. Variety is the spice of life. Homogenisation is boring and you'll have a hard time finding anyone that agrees on making everything the same.
Or more simple put: We aren't going to stop liking something you don't like just because it's not the classic.
>>47863699
You...may want to get your eyes checked.
>>47863814
Huh, I've always seen auburn described pretty much between wine and burgundy on that chart there.
>>47863345
Oh boy, you are a lot of fun at parties, aren't you? So what if the same myth has different takes in different regions? Does the region that came up with it later just magically lose the right to use the same word to describe their myth?
You do realize that pretty much none of the modern interpretations of classic myths cleave to the original, right? Zombies, vampires, witches, literally anything at all that has its roots in oldschool folklore.
And all of those differ between the different settings they occur in. That's what settings are a thing for: To establish their own, internal rulesets based upon the rules commonly adhered to in their genre. Really, the setting should not be an alien idea to anyone on /tg/.
Do you also burst into other threads to tell people their Elves aren't really Elves, because they are not nature spirits that lure travellers into peat bogs or exchange their own, ugly children for pretty, human children which they will raise as their own?
It's fitting that you talk about cherry tarts, because the lady doth protest too much, methinks.
>>47863790
nah, I'm just annoyed when people lazily co-opt literary terms as shorthand. It's the worst style of writing. Instead of taking something with an established meaning and pulling out vital parts, just take the small effort of making a new name.
Shifter, Wolfsblut, whatever. Shit names but a quick example. Otherwise you're spending all your time explaining how your version is different.
>but in MY setting...
>>47863969

Werewolf means absolutely nothing for me, since I'm not a native English speaker. For me it's just an English world for wilkołak, meaning a guy turning into a wolf, for few different reasons, each unrelated with another. Bless a more complex folklore, I guess.
And you should take your meds for autism.
>>47868616
Not him, but imagine all of this within single setting

>>47868639
Not the same autist guy but werewolves are not English folklore but come from gypsy folklore. It was brought to Europe by the Roma. In the folklore it is indeed a curse and the person becomes a bestial animal and loses control often killing family members or other loved ones. Other cultures have shape shifters too but they are not called werewolves, they are called something else.
I wouldn't use the term werewolf and then run a creature based on the Navajo skinwalkers for instance. Yes they can shape shift into other animals but the similarity ends there.
Honestly, if someone says "werewolf" or any other folklore critter without further fluff or setting specifics I'm going to assume they mean the creature from its native folklore.

There's a webcomic that has characters kinda sorta like that. Genetically created human-animal hybrids trained as supersoldier/assassins. First generation was all male, they went berserk and had to be put-down. Second generation was all female, they worked pretty well. Third generation was genetically "perfect" in that they potentially had max stats in everything. They could also procreate with other humans. Unfortunately, money became tight, and the project was shut down, violently. Many of the hybrids were slaughtered, only a small handful remain. They're in hiding.[/spoiler] Of course this is all just backstory for more or less slice of life,furry wish fulfilment, shenanigans.
>>47868863

>>47857914
Our group once played a gurps game where the setting was just 3 different official gurps settings chosen at random.
We ended up with espionage, ice age, and uplift (antho shit).
I played a spy penguin named Max Peng, we also had a genetically augmented polar bear with 5 months to live (basically mgs4 solid snake, but also a polar bear), and a corgi mechanic who was also a dad.
The game ended up having more pathos and character development than any of our other games.
The womanizer James Bond (penguin) learned to place love in a woman just to have her kidnapped and brainwashed, the polar bear who just wanted to die in battle decided he wanted to live, and the corgi came to terms with his shortcomings as a father.
I think the fact this game started off as a joke took the pressure off and allowed for a lot of creative freedom.

>>47868808
Are you sure about that?
There is such fantasy novel, where things run on the concept that everything is made from four basic elements and depending on how strong your character is, you influence reality around you, or it affects you. Meaning getting close to the lair of deranged fire spirit meant walking through fiery wasteland, then turning into fire elemental on the way, then killing it and things around getting slowly back to "normal", where normal means "influenced by other powerful things and beings".
Exploiting above, bunch of mages created their own state, where they've turned everything into their liking, basically becoming gods above semi-sentient drones, robbed from any vestige of humanity.
Read it at first and I was like "who wrote this crap". But the more I think about it, the better game setting would it make, with constant dynamics about who is who and what are the goals.
>>47863969
what probably happened is you misread or were ill informed the first time, and have then 'seen' the wrong colour everytime since, given almost everytime you've seen the word 'auburn' it hasn't been clarified, so you've just gone 'ah yeah, purple-ish'

>stale and smelly by 90s
Soap Opera and Gun Porn took over SF in the 90s. That stale smell isn't the older stuff.
>Not aging well does not connote a lack of talent
In case of sci-fi it kinda does. Think about it this way - Verne didn't age almost at all. And he's century old. Asimov, Lem, Dick and Strugatsky brothers are half century old on average (some of their texts even older) and they still didn't age.
And Anderson managed to be dated 20 years ago.

Your first "red" should be "orange".

It's really more a reddish-brown. Even being very generous that wouldn't be orange.

You should at least try one of his works. Maybe it's not your kind of humor but going by his success most people do.

Then why you even bother? If English is not your native language, you won't be able to use it to describe colour. This applies to pretty much every single motherfucking language that is not your native.
>>47889501
It simply doesn't appel to me. Friend of mine was handling me "best fragments" or outright reading entire chapters aloud.
I don't understand the appeal of them, they weren't even that funny. And that friend of mine knows my humour preferences pretty well, so it's not like he missed the mark with me or something.

is this bait?
>>47889664
Not him, but that's just basic linguistics.
There is such colour in Polish as "błękitny", a specific shade of blue, one of basic colour in Polish. And it's impossible to express it in English in simple terms, because you need to get descriptive or start making comparisions. English simply doesn't register such thing like "błękit"
Dunno, you never heard about Sapir–Whorf hypothesis?
>>47889715
We have a name for that in English. It's called azure.
>>47858178
He's joking, you fucking retard
And before anyone whines that azure isn't English, błękitny came from middle high German.

Shit, dogs struggle to recognize their owners after they have taken showers since their primary methods of recognition are gone. Clothes and smell.
Top tier smell though.
I had this idea for a Drider or Centaur Paladin (or similar mounted combat class; I'm somewhat of a newfag so I'm not really sure what other options there are in 3.5e) who is his own mount, but I have no clue how it'd work mechanically. I wonder if there's something in a splatbook somewhere that could cover this. Failing that, I could always just stick one on a Giant Spider mount, but it's not the same.
Also: A bard who plays an instrument which is impractical to carry, like a harpsichord or a big-ass set of timpani or something, right? So the answer is simple, you stick it on a chariot of course. And then maybe give him an archer buddy or something to ride with him for support. This would probably require some kind of wartime setting where use of a chariot is practical and... like, allowed, but don't tell me that isn't some rad shit.
>>47889852
The first three aren't błękit. Probably would be described by everyone as bladoniebieski, meaning pale blue. The 4th and 6th are deep and 5th is light błękit.
So get something between 4th and 5th and you've got błękit.
Or just look at the sky when it's completely clear in sunny summer day like right now
This reminds me of an idea this pic gave me a long time ago.
Some time in the future where genetic manipulation is common, Russia employs soldiers mixed with Siberian Huskies as guards and border patrol. They will fucking sniff you out and hunt you down.
>>47889715
>And it's impossible to express it in English in simple terms
Dude, have you looked up color terminology? Granted there is no single name for every of the 256 million digitally possible representable colors, but when you have like 25 "base" blues and go from there I think you'll manage.
>>47889790
Are you using such colour name like "azure" on daily basis or treat it on the same tier as "burgundy" or "lilac"?
Because we are talking about common colours used by basic language, not colour names in general. Like that Chinese colour, describing far-away mountainous horizont, giving a shade between blue and green. What was it called? And it's considered one of the basic colours of Chinese.
And so on and forth
tl;dr - linguistics are fun and language you think in affects how you percieve world around you

Anon, AGAIN, I'm not talking about all colour names, but basic colurs recognised by this or that language. Here, let's give you an example of what basic colours in English are:
Red, blue, yellow, orange, green, brown, black, white, grey, pink, purple/violet.
That's all. No other colours count as "basic". It doesn't mean other colours don't exist. It simply means they are not basic ones from linguistic point.
>>47890014
Not everything has to be the same thing all the time, there are other things in Russia than bears.
Though bears work too, better actually, appearantly googling bear sense of smell tells it's 2100 that of a human, meaning 21 times that of a regular dog.
>>47890026
>give you an example of what basic colours in English are. No other colours count as "basic". It simply means they are not basic ones from linguistic point.
There is no such thing as a linguistically basic color, except maybe if you count compounds i.e. "yellow-green" as advanced colors. Wether a color is primary/tertiary/etc. is defined by science. Red, pink, mauve, lilac are all linguistically the same, there is no "level" of words.
>>47889989
>They will fucking sniff you out and hunt you down.
Not if I employ the cunning use of squeaky toys!
>>47890110
>Being this tier retarded
Not him, but seriously anon, you are simply stupid to not get this at this point and keep showing off your autism
Or it never maybe occured to you that if the guy is self-admitted Pole, he might use different meaning for "basic" and this is the closest translation gets him?
No, really, you are using Internet and don't understand not only BASIC semantics, but also stuff as BASIC as language barrier
>>47890115
That's why you use bears for it.
>>47890110
>There is no such thing as a linguistically basic color

Dogs see shit on long distance, they only register movement after few meters.

Did you just confuse basic with base, you dumb motherfucker?
>>47890139
In other words, his grasp of the English language is shaky and he is in no position to be telling people how it works?
>>47890247
In other words, you've just reached the point where you are so fucking out of arguments, ad homs about lacking language proficiency is all that's left.
>>47889973
so "sky blue" then
>>47890247
>>47890365
To drive point further - you should be fucking ashamed that a non-native speaker must explain you how the fuck your own language works on semantic level.
>>47890365
>>47890379
I'm a different anon. Just saying that if someone has to interject and say "well he's probably using the wrong word because he doesn't know English very well" then maybe he isn't the best person to be arguing about how English works.
>>47890026
Turquoise, Lilac, Lavender, Mauve, Maroon, Gold and Silver are basic colour words within my region.
