Hello, and thank you for your suggestions! We've finished discussing them and will address these in the order you've given them to us.

CALENDAR:
We have always done our best to encourage player creativity and freedom, and we believe the weather is just an extension of this. Ryslig follows the general weather of the seasons unless otherwise specified in events, and we encourage players to take liberties with this! Extreme weather will always be mentioned, but the players can decide if it's raining, storming, sunny, hot, etc. We believe it would be too restricting to lay out the weather each month, and very difficult to keep up with long term, however, if players have ideas for weather-related instances or events (such as full moons, heavy storms, blizzards, etc) then they are welcome to bring them to the plot suggestions page so that we can see about putting them into action! Additionally, weather might not be completely the same in certain areas of Ryslig. The islands are a lot warmer than the main coast during winter, for example.

WERES LIMITS:
We've recently clarified this on the state of the game post, but the limitations of monsters have always been up to player interpretation! While it is always required for a werewolf to feel exhaustion from the transformation, for example, it does not mean that it must take up a certain amount of time, be crippling in nature, or even that they can't push through it for those first few hours post-transformation.

This also applies to how nocturnal they may be. As stated on the bestiary page, they "tend to be nocturnal" because of this fatigue, but that is largely meant to be stated as a preference of ease. Werewolves are not required to be nocturnal, it's simply a suggestion that they tend to be more active at night due to their transformations (just as there are suggestedly nocturnal wendigo that function during the day).

The emotional transformation addition is also meant to represent each emotion, as well as indicate any number of partial transformations on the way to full werewolf or full wolf. For example, perhaps your character grows so embarrassed at what their boss is saying that their ears make a surprise appearance! It's certainly possible, and we invite this player creativity. We hope that these clarifications help!

HOWL:
While the howl is an interesting idea, we do not want to deviate too far from the initial guidelines set by the creators of the game. Most of the bestiary additions were optional and related to transformation/appearance, and we feel that with the minor modifications made for a few monsters that they are all evenly balanced. If anything, you could request that power from Tikbalang with the right amount of coins and create your own NPC werewolf (or dog) army of your dreams!

As for the pack tendencies, you can play that out with other weres if you like! The pack tendency is optional which means it's very open to interpretation and how YOU want to play with it. We're certain if you put out a call, other players would be willing to participate and group together - a few already have!

!!! HELLO I AM NOT THE ANON BUT THIS INTERESTS ME GREATLY.

so like, IN THEORY, if I gave Mike the toxic bite, could I save up for a super duper reward and have it upgraded to an infectious bite?? like say if he accidentally bit a normal npc human on ryslig--due to the nature of the game I don't think he could turn them into a legit werewolf, but what if they got super minimal!teenwolf style traits during full moons and craved meat (but not human)?? MINI-WERES. Is this a thing that could potentially happen with enough coins and if so how much /)'w'(\ if not that is legit, the mental image is just not leaving me rn gosh.

There would have to be a setback to prevent a growing mini-were army, such as them only lasting for a day, or through the night, etc, but yes! It also wouldn’t have to replace the toxic bite. You could combine it, switch between the two, etc. This would be a power that could be added for 120 coins.
