  • I’m familiar with V:tM and some Mage, but nothing Werewolf. I do have a technical background though. AI hallucinations have already been explained in the comments, but one way you could approach this is through the use of what’s called cognitive hacking. Its a subset of social engineering that mostly focuses on things like rigging elections instead of getting people to hand over passwords and such. You manipulate content, spread disinformation, and insert narrative driven data.

    Its an interesting tool in that you’d be in effect hacking your players. You might read up on a base intro to it: https://em360tech.com/tech-articles/what-cognitive-hacking-cyber-attack-targets-your-mind https://doc.lagout.org/Others/Cognitive Hacking.pdf

    One tip to make it more successful: You can’t make someone think positively about something they already have an established negative belief about. You can however widen that gap and work to re-enforce their negative belief. Its the key to radicalizing people and lets you plot out what their actions will be (effectively railroading themselves without knowing they are).


  • I had a similar setup to this awhile back. You have to port the number to your VoIP provider of choice and then decide on what client you are going to run (no need for SIM card). I was wanting voice service and only needed limited SMS, so I went with linphone (and played around with zoiper too). If you are needing good SMS support, then JMP is probably the best. It supports both SMS and MMS. You won’t get E911 access I believe, but as data only its a good solution.

    Free wifi is all over the place and if you wire up a mobile hotspot in your car (yes it somewhat defeats the purpose), you can get some pretty decent coverage.
