Cheat sheet
GM checklist (Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition)
Before-session and during-session reminders.
Quick blocks
Werewolf sessions shine when you balance spirit-world stakes, pack identity, and moral pressure from corruption.
Session checklist
- Define what the Wyrm’s corruption looks like in this chronicle.
- Make pack choices visible: who they protect, who they hurt, what they sacrifice.
- Use spirits as characters with wants and prices.
- Track Renown and make Rank feel earned in story terms.
Common pitfalls
- Only fighting, no spirit/social scenes
- Renown as numbers only
- No cost to rage
