I love the idea of the Garou not understanding how to tell a vampire is powerful. I'm envisioning some chilling at a bar knocking some back. A wolf is bragging about how he took out 4 "Elder" nosferatu that were really just turned the other night. Meanwhile there's a dude in the back corner with PTSD from when his whole pack got wiped out by some pretty boy still ranting about some place called Carthage.

I love how ancient Werewolves decided to kill all other were-folk because anything they could do the Werewolves could do better and anything they couldn't do wasn't worth doing. Only for the All-Meathead-Berserker-Party to turn out to be a bad idea.

The ultimate April Fools joke, actual content.

"They can't un-print previous editions" has such good vibes

"All the ducks will be pissed at you" An utterly terrifying sentiment

- Werewolf Lore Video from _TheBurgerkrieg_ - It's being released on April 1st - The TITLE is "You WILL Be ANGRY!" I'm... actually pretty sure this'll be a reverse april fool's prank; he's putting in so much effort to make it look like an EXTREMELY obvious april fool's joke, but that means that he can prank us by not pranking us and making a legitimate video.

It’s happening!!!! Hope we get a sponsorship from Pentex. Wait. It’s scheduled for April Fools day. I smell treachery.

"Werewolf is taglined as a game of savage horror, but to me it’s always been a game about hope against long odds. It’s about having a great destiny, no matter how weird or rejected or useless your character has ever believed they are. You’re a fucking hero and nobody can take that away from you. Werewolves are short-tempered, prideful, bull-headed, and forever at each other’s throats. You’re not what anyone ever hoped for, but your enemy is a ravening horror. The Wyrm will corrupt your soul and destroy all you’ve ever held dear if given the chance. Nobody else can deny it that chance. You’re the closest thing this poor mad world’s got to a guardian angel, so show your teeth." -zitasaurusrex: Tumblr - why-i-love-werewolf-the-apocalypse

great, now Burgerkrieg done did it, bringing Werewolves into my nice and innocent politics.

Can’t wait for this to be about Demon or Mummy

>finally get a werewolf video >it's W5 MONKEY'S PAWED

If he genuinely puts out a 2 hour long werewolf tribe discussion video I'll genuinely be surprised

Hearing the mere idea that a single person, let alone a group, is mad for "adding" politics to Werewolf is the most They Put Politics in Rage Against The Machine thing I've ever heard, and I can't believe I have enough examples to make a Doofenschmirz nickle joke.

Weird, what I read said that Vampires are touched by the Wyrm, and that's why most Garou have an urge to kill them on sight.

As far as your point about the tribes having regional variations, that was absolutely a thing in older editions. Camps were the most common term, but some were so isolated and/or different as to become basically sub-tribes. The Syberakh were one example.

I loved cockroach as my totem. My Glass Walkers still follow him. "Non-playable" is just how advanced rules get described. Edit: I though spirits could make bodies out of gnosis.

As someone who experienced the Portland protests in 2020, I have seen Hauglosk or Hirano overtake almost all of us over the years...

For the bit about them trying to scrub away real world cultures from the tribes: Yeah, its like they want to keep using Chronicles of Darkness, which frequently avoided this, but they just changed to the world of darkness cuz they wanted to bank nostalgia.

Alright, i get it now. All werewolves dislike those who are actually effective at fighting their enemy because "we're actually the best ones and stop trying to say we're not"

It seems useful for adding in lore from past/alternative editions that the lore in World of Darkness often comes across as feeling like what's currently generally believed rather than feeling irrefutably canon. It's like the very core rulebooks for werewolf, vampire, and so on are unreliable narrators of their own worlds.

It's coming out on April 1st... This is gonna be a laugh riot.

Pentex sounds like Blackrock. *keeps listening* Oh, it is Blackrock

I will cry if joke. I will cry and it will be on your head

Holy damn it wasn't an April fools prank? Why do I still feel like I got pranked?!

FINALLY!!! Can´t believe it´s been TWO years since the original Clan video. And I hope he´ll start with "This video is brought to you by Pentex"

It's not gonna be werewolf, it's gonna be some insanely obscure game or like first addition werewolf

How much yall wanna bet we're getting punked and its gonna be Werewolf: The Forsaken lore

I love this and I love the barest hint that there is a Werewolf: The Forsaken Script, because that means there's a chance you'll be covering CoD as well one day

Because of the date, I get the feeling that this will be like the 40K video, but maybe scheduling it ahead of time is the joke to make you think it will be a bit, and it actually will be a real video about Werewolf. Or maybe I’m just coping. Either way, I am excited!

I 100% believe this either going to be a two minute little meme or, like, be a two hour long video about mummy or some other wod game no one rememebers

Please let the joke be he actually does it, please let the joke be he actually does it, please let the joke be he actually does it..... If he follows English rules of the day to post it after 12PM would make him the fool.

Get of Fenris, one of the MOST LOYAL Garou Tribe going renegade isn't what I'd call a logical conclusion, its bad writing from people who and I quote writers themselves "Didn't know what to do with them". These guys are so Loyal to the Garou nation they kicked they're own asses when a certain sub faction who allied themselves with a certain reich tried to crop up. Meanwhile the Red Talons the werewolf SUPREMACIST who flaunt the fact they break the Litany on a regular basis are still tolerated in Garou society cause...reasons.

I once saw one of my dogs drink from a straw of her own accord, the Wyld works in mysterious ways.

Burger, you better not be hoodwinking us.

i preferred original werewolf the apocalypse because the get of fenris weren’t nazis and combat was fun me and my friends run a weekly wta game and it’s fun, we mapped out a whole family tree and are playing as garou siblings our storyteller is a huge old world of darkness nerd and even did a vampire the masquerade one shot for christmas last year good times

Crinos made me think of Bang energy and "super creatine." And thus the image of a bodybuilder werewolf named WolfBang Amadeus. I hate myself, but like this video.

In unnecessarily annoys me so much that in the Expanse books behind the Burger that some have the author name in the large font and some have the book title in the large font.

As to the Kinfolk change... I think that I'll interpret it this way: Perhaps the were-genes used to be rare, but now with the dramatic population growth, air travel, and genetic interchange of the last few hundred years, practically everyone is a "kinfolk" in the old sense. The gene has effectively permeated the entire population, or near enough that it *looks like* anyone can undergo the change, regardless of apparent lineage.

They did the Fianna and the Get dirty. If any of the garou should have fallen to either the Wyrm or "Hauglosk", it should have been Red Talons

THERE MUST COME A TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHERE YOU ASK THE QUESTION WHEN WILL YOU RAGE?

Amazing video premiere & such a dope insight to these worlds (especially from a noobs perview)! Big ups from NM

Werewolf 20th anniversary was actually my very first introduction to the wider World of Darkness, as Bloodlines was for Vtm. First game I played, then ran, were with my friends who were, IRONICALLY, native American, and we loved the Garou, SPECIFICALLY because of how tied they were to the native ethnicities of their homelands. Sure, yes, we homebrewed-up some stuff to bridge some gaps, but most of the depictions of the native American tribes, we just took tounge-and-cheek and had fun. (Plus outside of 2 sentence of acknowledgement from W20 Rage across the World, there's little if any Lore on the Minnesota area, excluding the Sabbat human tr*fficking ring from the Brujah novels that we clawed the crap out of - and before its mentioned, I have not read the recently published comic that discusses the Minneapolis Cammerilla) We had so much fun that when we played in a Hunters Hunted II chronicle, we played Kinfolk characters, who were related to our W:tA characters, because again, it was extremely fun, and we had fun playing as Kinfolk, and we even got to explore more of the Umbra in Hunters Hunted II than we did in Werewolf, ironically. 5e Werewolf on the other hand was such an absolute slap to the face, that it's become an in-joke to gaslight anybody who talks about it into believing it doesn't exist. Race-swapping the Fiennan tribe was a red flag the size of the moon, ESPECIALLY after the crap the Irish and the non-northern Celts had gone through historically. They thought they were being inclusive and inoffensive, but all they did was mess-up so badly, that a Brazilian tourist who HAPPENED to be visiting the Reservation that day, wasn't even English at all, got offended on my ethnic behalf to my bamboozlement (Part Welsh, part Scandinavian, part Polish). Writing-out the native American tribes and pretending they didn't exist for 5e was a painful callback to the whole pipeline fiasco back in 2017 that people already forgot, despite being less than 8 years ago, and I don't really feel the need to explain the emotions on that. Basically, 5e has the exact same problem Chronicles of Darkness had/has from under Onyx Path's writing, BUT AT LEAST CHRONICLES HAD INTERESTING IDEAS!!!!!! So, no. There is no 5E World of Darkness, and anyone who believes there is, is clearly a victim of gaslighting from either an agent of Pentex, or a Technocracy NWO agent. .... Anyways, yeah. Didn't mean to go on a rant, but in case of Tl:Dr, just because a new edition is out, it does not mean you should be forced to upgrade to it. (Also, screw this culture war bullsh/t. LET MY PLAYERS PLAY THE TRIBES OF THE ETHNICITY THEY WERE BORN UNDER!) Also, thank you BurgerKrieg for remaining as nuanced as you were/are. I actually found your channel thanks to the Charnel houses of Europe video, and it was a good introduction. Back-to-track, People play Pathfinder, which is essentially 3.5 D&D, so maybe this can be a similar forking path for World of Darkness. As for what it should be called? I dunno. Call it "Free World Falls" or something. I ain't good at naming conventions.

I can understand a lot of the changes they made, and I can kind of understand the removal of kinfolk since it was a bit "inbreedy" that fera can only mate with kinfolk that already have fera blood, it was a bit odd. It still keeps some mysticism to it, and at least kind of opens up the options for "how you became a fera" even though functionally it's the same, before you could've just been a kinfolk that nobody really knew about if you didn't want to be tied to the society beforehand. One thing I can't understand is the removal of Metis entirely? They seem like such a fun and nuanced thing to have. Adding a lot of specific prejudice and/or practicality to metis was such an interesting theme to me. They're both reviled and stigmatized because of their inherent flaws, some worse than others, and the superstition around a "perfect metis" that will bring about the apocalypse, yet at the same time they just so happen to be ideal for the current dire situaton - 100% chance instant warriors, ideal for bostering an army (when compared to the much more slip chances to have a regular fera born otherwise, especially for the garou). Without them, it feels like something's missing. Maybe they've somehow replaced it, I am a complete newbie to WoD and WtA and have mostly been watching videos and reading up online. Players naturally LOVE playing underdogs (ha), characters that face prejudice and stigma because it's that much more satisfying to overcome it.

Hunter is weird in 5th, also, how are the Red Talons playable and the Get not? Genocide is ok but Might makes Right is not?

I left this on and playing in another room, when I came back I was greeted with “then the ducks will be pissed at you.”

I like mixing old and new wod when it is fun. For example, some wood void engineers popping into the nwod wizarding world and being even more confused and hopeful for new exploration than normal

You sway around so much it feels like I'm being hypnotized.

I love that you arent only explaining the good driving forces but also the common negatives of the parts as well. Helps with figuring out where a character might slot into the parts of creation.

I love when you list potential characters for those clans and such! Just the sheer diversity of origins! And holy shit the possessed descriptions!!

45:15 Okay the Ahrun editing joke may have been heavy handed but the super brief and super quiet addition of Man Who Sold the World right there while talking about “nations without territory” is maybe the best understated editing joke I’ve ever seen. Also, Big Boss is a Philodox Bone Gnawer, change my mind.

Right after I wrap up the werewolf part of my multi-splat chronicle! The nerve sir, you devious wonderful bastard you.

Well done! Your WOD/ Shadowrun Content is second to none.

The duck example, I'm kind of fucked, I used to help a small farm near me with the whole butchering birds process, wasn't on the killing bit, but was on the taking the innards and making them outtards and chopping off the bits that go in stew as opposed to just directly eaten for about four to five years, the ducks are pissed at me. Though, you know, might have made up for it by bringing food.

Oh man. This is my first exposure to 5e Werewolf and I absolutely hate it x3 Sticking with Revised and 20th Anniversary Edition for Werewolf after seeing this

Added another comment so as to hopefully help the algorithm be upon the Burger’s side, I have an idea: BurgerKrieg will one day run outta WoD topics, even if he covers the CofD-specific game lines. Obviously, he’s not a WoD-exclusive channel, but sometimes you need some grit to help express political commentary like he’s done before. Thusly, videos on Zombie the Coil Leviathan the Tempest Janus the Persona Siren the Drowning Pathogen the Infection Outsider the Calling Atlantean the Longing Princess the Hopeful Genius the Transgression Psychic the Gifted Dragon the Rekindling ….would all open up fun conversations for various spheres of conversation, from those intended by the games and their lore, to circumstantial things related directly and indirectly.

I like how every single SuperNatural in WoD StoryTeller System has some kind of a Amnesia system for Mortals if mortals see them or their super natural actions esp. in Chronicles.

I now imagine a gale stalker walking around with mouses in his pocker and just eating one whole once a day...

My grandmother gave me a dreamcatcher she made when we moved to the USA because it was what the local natives used. It now hangs from my car mirror and I'll never understand how everyone here could find a political argument in a grain of sand.

So, having finally gotten the chance to watch the full vid, because I was at work during premiere and only got a few minutes. Thank you Burger for the grand work, glad it wasn't you jerking us around. Significantly appreciate your work and effort. Ya do another PLEASE let it be Demon.

A computer virus that nukes the internet is something Griffin would approve of? Does that make Rache Bartmoss a Red Talon?

43:19 Damn that hits hard.

Considering its dropping on April's Fools and also how the video description is written we can expect a prank...unless it's only for first 5 minutss of the video and then Burger goes like "okey cunts, jokes over and I can't keep up like this for 2 hours so here's the actual lore y'all furries were waiting for" and HONESTLY I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHICH IS GONNA BE THE CASE

Boy I can't wait for Demon the Fallen (My favorite and first WoD books I got)

I hate the removal of the Wendigo Tribe and I feel like the Get Of Fenris turning away from the Garou Nation is actually the least in character thing possible.

Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this video! I loved it, I was originally pretty down on this new edition but you actually did a pretty good job of selling it to me and showing that there is a place for the old stuff as well in it. I’m quite excited to give it a try now!

Well, time to see how Gaia's most incompetent children are fairing. Still self-righteously howling at everyone else for the problems they caused, I bet.

I believe the real joke is gonna be him really realising the WtA vid :D

If I ever played this, I think I would set the game during the early American Revolution. It just seems a much more interesting time period: you have the conflict between American and European 'wolves that just met each other, while they exist at the edge of a 3-way (or 4 or 5 ways sometimes) conflict between natives, America and European powers that they can interfere with, and it's also the birth of industrialization. It's an age of change, many pivotal points converging all at once, and endless different ways that 'wolves can approach them. It just seems more interesting than the "the world is fucked sucks 2 b you" bleakness that WoD loves

glad to see you cover more of the world of darkness, your videos are a grea tway for me to get into the lore, hope to see a video on the other shapeshifter next

"Are you confused yet?" I wish I was.

Honestly, if he winds up doing a "late april fools joke" as he threatened, it would be a interesting and amusing opportunity to evaluate World Of Darkness: Gypsies. The joke being simply taking it seriously and breaking it down both culturally and making an attempt to adapt it to something that could be reasonably played or included in kther runs now. It would both give him an opportunity to talk about those cultures and flex his creative muscles turning the frankly racist monsterfication of an otherized group into something actually interesting and (obviously) not racially charged.

I'm a long time Uktena player. I've played so many of them. The loss of my tribe hurts. I will have to try to play Ghost Council.

Love all your vids! So happy to see this finally came

Liking it so far. My only small quibble is that the White Howlers were Pictish going back at least the first edition Book of the Wyrm. Definitely since Chronicle of the Black Labyrinth.

This dude needs a better friends group, imagine being criticized for your freaking dreamcatcher lol

...Out of curiosity, are you planning on doing a video dedicated to the Fera?

Came here after playing Werewolf Apocalypse: Earthblood and now I'm introduced to a whole franchise I never knew existed

Ngl, english is not my first language, and "skinwalker" is probably the coolest word I've ever heard😂

love you ranting about lore my dude

This is so satisfying, he played all the characters, and made the stakes on all sides reasonable. Dynamic and well plotted. Saves me all the trouble of buying mntDew and actually attending or awkwardly introducing myself to a plump and talented improv troop. My thanks 🙏

In the Heart of the Forest game, hilariously the way to save your friends is to just become the Warrior, you save more people you care about by actually doing something. I really like that the devs figured that out.

Black Furies: wokescolds. Black Spiral Dancers: error 404 file not found. Bone Gnawers: somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me. Children of Gaia: masked crying wojak. Get of Fenris: more like 'get shit done', amiright? Galestalkers: "Why are you running? Why are you running?" Ghost Council: puts crystals over their modem for better wifi. Glass Walkers: techno-goth rave. Hart Wardens: cottagecore. Red Talons: *Thanos snap* Shadow Lords: reads Sun Tzu once. Silent Striders: "hey, bro, can you cashapp me for a sandwich?" Silver Fangs: only eats pedigree puppy chow. Stargazers: favorite singer is Dio.

Nice vid to round out more of the WOD lore!

Hey thanks for this ive been wanting to catch up for years and this certainly did the job ❤️

Man I'd love a video about the other shifters such as the spidershifters.

I don't understand how Gaia can be dead when we and other things still live on Her

53:08 Interesting example here I think it’s the Red Cross. They are the Red Cross in reference to the Swiss flag. In some parts of the world, the Red Cross, however, is the red Crescent, even though the existence of a cross as a symbol is not a Christian statement by the Red Cross (although ultimately that is the origin of the Swiss cross)

Thanks for the Video!

I feel this is understated but good job taking a step up in editing the video. You have come far from your other WoD videos.

Speaking of the black furys,in old lore they were actually founded by Artemis,who was a ancient werewolf,hence there greek routes

what they did to the get of fenris, the red talons, and the fiana is fucking unforgivable.

The fabled double switcheroo, well played BK.

Dude you put into words the exact way I feel about the political issues in the game. Excellent work

Ok. Subscribed You earned it.

Finally I've been asking for this since the mage video

I would enjoy to see Mummy next. ^^

When I tell you I screamed with joy! Good stuff

A 2 hour long Werewolf video? Awesome. The books have such rich lore and- Oh, it's W5.... okay. Still, thanks for that rant about representation. It was necessary.

honestly the reason why people who love the past werewolf game think this one stuck and done dirty is because they trying to make it more like vampire. they could have made a post apocalypse thing and some of this made make sense. or if they really wanted to rewrite dont throw away the lore say we learn and are try to fix our mistake or when all hope fall make time-travel a thing or go to outer space there a book for it. or combine forsake with apocalypse to chage thing up and they realize of were the warriors their the hunters we are like cousins whith different jobs let work together. anything that isn't 5 edition

I’ve always liked werewolves over vampires part of it would be the transformation aspect being able to turn into a beast of destruction and fury. Another would be depictions vampires are usually some sort of stand in for aristocracy and nobles leaching quite literally from their subjects while werewolves could be a run of a mill person trying to contend with a inner monster representing any sort of vice or anger issues which are overall more sympathetic to me. Then as heroes once again it’s made more sense to me that a werewolf would be more likely to be a hero than a vampire with werewolves the idea that you could tame the beast and learn to control your darker side and harness it to defend others is a very engaging narrative meanwhile vampires require blood often from living beings sure they can subsist on animal blood in most versions but in most of those it’s often depicted as being weaker and less nourishing they have to harm humans to survive in a lot of cases. And before you say I’m a furry no I’m not.
