Description

Introduction Den of Wolves is a game about the interactions between politics and survival during a time of crisis. Players represent the vessels in the “Survivor Fleet” – a group of surviving vessels fleeing from a catastrophic attack by a ruthless enemy. These vessels are trying to survive in the midst of a crisis. Some players are civilians whilst others are representing government and military elements of the fleet. This game is about interactions between all of these different entities as they attempt to survive. The game blends both 'Political' (talking and negotiating) and 'Operational' (decisions, units and resources) gameplay. Some roles are exclusively Political, while others have a much greater focus on Operational matters. In general, players should expect a significant amount of resource management and player-to-player negotiation and discussion, with a small amount of unit positioning and combat. This game is set several hundred years in the future. Space cruisers and advanced technologies are relatively commonplace. But the Sci-Fi setting does not mean that solutions will come from fantastical technological developments. Don't expect a new type of time-travel laser to come along and solve all of your problems. Setting Instead, the setting is intended to give a fresh feeling and exciting launching point for a semi-realistic simulation of a complicated political and operational situation. If you keep this in mind, you will likely have a much more enjoyable time playing Den of Wolves. Humanity itself is much the same as today. Similar to how both today and hundreds of years ago, society is/was a mixture of complex, interconnected authorities, powers and factions, with shifting loyalties and different perspectives, the same is true for the setting here. Different played factions in this game have particular perspectives and goals – these will be explained in the Background Guide – otherwise, act how you would act as a person in the modern world.
