Werewolf Race Car Drivers

“It’s definitely a balancing act, being a world-renowned racer. The schedule, the travel, the danger, the sordid affairs… And even when a race goes right, a person can get whiplash from the sheer speed of this life all on its own. But separate from the competition, the threat of accidents, and the fast-paced world of racing, things are even more complicated – for me, at least.

Especially when the moon is full…”

Werewolf Race Car Drivers (WRCD) is a light-hearted and light-weight TTRPG in which you and your friends act through one or more seasons of an over-the-top, soap opera-style show about - you guessed it - werewolf race car drivers. Both lycanthropy and racing are tertiary elements at best sometimes, and like all good TV, the Werewolf Race Car Drivers show you'll create is really all about what it means to be human - er, werewolf - and work together as a pack.

In WRCD, players take on two roles at once. You'll play a stereotypical Actor whose life is all about being on camera and who revels in the glory, but you'll also be playing a Crew Member on the WRCD Team, as represented by your Actor character. Actors can choose one of eight archetypes to fill out the Crew: Main Driver, Owner, Pit Crew Leader, PR Specialist, Substitute Driver, Tag-Along, Team Manager, or Themme Fatale. Each of these archetypes has their own strengths, pitfalls, and storylines that are sure to bring laughs, tears, and plenty of drama.

All good TV needs an illustrious director! The role of Storyteller in WRCD is taken on by  a visionary called the Director. It's the Director's job to make sure that the action is flowing, that Actor squabbles are handled as well as can be expected, and that Werewolf Race Car Drivers is the best damn show on television! Directing a season of Werewolf Race Car Drivers may take guts, but it's not complicated - simply grab a d8 and roll up the plot of an entire season using over 300 completely human-written episode synopses included in the WRCD book.

Plot twist! WRCD is a little different than the rest of the Laughing Lark Games roster - it was written & designed (sans tables) by the LLG's usual illustrator, Rosie/dollipop and illustrated (and supplied with tables) completely by the LLG game designer, Jay! This "switcheroo collab" was created specifically for the Bad Art Jam, hosted by Whimsy Machine Media. The spirit of the Bad Art Jam is to try new things for the sheer fun of creating, making it the perfect opportunity to switch roles! Enjoy this fabulous special debut (premier?) of Jay's first illustration project and Rosie's first crack at game design.
