Paligon

Description

Paligon is the new rave video game on the market. In the game, the players seek too catch all 600 paligons and beat 7 "camp leaders" and become a "Paligon champ."

What the public doesn¹t know is that this game is the latest thing from Tellus enterprises to spread the will of the Wyrm. This Pentex-spawned game is designed to create new fomori too assist the Wyrm in its battle against the garou. As the children play the game, they become more and more obsessed with "catching them all," dropping out of school, running away from home, even locking themselves into their rooms if need be. Eventually, after several days of playing, the child undergoes a bizarre transformation, slowly changing into one of the creatures from the game. After the transformation, they go out, and begin to act out the game, attacking and killing anything they can get there hands on and destroying Gaia.

Storyteller Notes

Storytellers should feel free too make new types of Paligon by using the guidelines above. They are a good example of what type of resources Pentex has and shows how low they can really sink (most of these fomori are children). They also make excellent shock troops and are usually underestimated by their opponents.
