Text: I visit the werejackals to see if any have turned recently. It happens for them not with the full moon, but when something bigger and badder is about to make a kill.

Imagine an AU where, instead of Amatus finding them, the MC is taken in by the Jackals or the Vultures 😰😰

MCs that have developed abandonment issues finding themselves stuck with either Idir or Mara… what a nightmare yikes

Yikes indeed...

I think y'all already have a good idea on how messed up these other guilds are, but as we get further into the story y'all will get to see it first hand.

An MC raised up in one of those guilds would be tragic. But also side story worthy...

Jackals (2021) is Osprey’s most ambitious RPG to date, the first to launch with an accompanying campaign. An additional sourcebook has also surfaced.

Back in 1982, Chaosium published QuestWorld, as a sort of open world for RuneQuest (as opposed to the closed, Stafford-approved Glorantha), where players would essentially come up with their own RQ variants. The box set was an interesting, but failed, experiment. Jackals strikes me as the sort of thing I bet Chaosium hoped would emerge from the scheme.

It is powered by OpenQuest, a tweaked retroclone of RuneQuest. Jackals tweaks it some more, but at heart, if you’re familiar with the BRP style d100 skill games, you’ll ken this system fast.

Like RuneQuest, the game world is extremely important. Characters get the choice of one of four cultures (modeled loosely on the real world Bronze Age cultures of Greece, Egypt, Israel and the Arabian desert), each of which determines the bulk of their baseline attributes. As the titular Jackals, they wander the world, beloved by communities beset by the taint of Chaos, manifest as a variety of beast-people who kill and destroy indiscriminately, a sort of embodied anti-civilization. When no such problem exists, though, most folks don’t want Jackals around.

The world they wander is a rich one. I love Glorantha for its strangeness, but the War Road feels familiar (thanks to its dim relation to our Middle East). That gives the setting a kind of excitement akin to knowing the song on the radio, even if it is a cover. The mysteries are intriguing, the art lovely and the maps! My goodness, these are some of the best dungeon maps I have seen in years! A handful of scenarios round things out and pave the way for the grand, world-changing campaign, The Fall of the Children of Bronze.

he's definitely the weird dad friend and i love him for it

edit: he also cries when the 3 things he wanted to do don't go to plan and that is also so real of him

Deep Water Prompt #3192

The roommate admits they don’t remember that night, out of their mind with the change. But werejackals, like real jackals, don’t go for large prey. I believe they were framed.

Lupulella mesomelas

Until recently, jackals were in the Canis genus with wolves and coyotes. They are now in their own genus called lupulella, which consists of only two species- the side-striped jackal and the black-backed jackal. Golden jackals aren’t included in this genus because recent studies have shown that they are more closely related to grey wolves than to other jackal species.

The smallest jackal species is the black-backed jackal, found in Southern and Eastern Africa. They weigh roughly 13 to 20 pounds (5.8 to 9 kg) and are named after their distinctive “saddles,” or dark-colored bands on their backs.

Black-backed jackals are quite social. Most of them do almost everything in pairs, including hunting, digging dens, and raising pups, and they often form small family groups or packs. Because they are often hunted by leopards, eagles, and especially hyenas, which are much larger than them, groups of jackals are often more successful in raising pups and guarding their food.

Jackals usually target small animals like lizards, rodents, and hares, but groups of jackals will target impala, wildebeest calves, and other larger prey. They also eat insects and vegetation like plums and figs.

Although they are regularly hunted for their fur and by farmers and ranchers protecting livestock, black-backed jackals are classified as least concern. This means they are quite common and are not in danger of extinction.

I rate the black-backed jackal 12/10. Their ears are the perfect size

Meanwhile, the jackal corner is on fire today. It's definitely a Jackal kind of day.
