    Hunter 2E Open Dev: Tier Two Compacts and Globalization

    Last time, I kicked off Hunter the Vigil 2E featuring the Slasher Chronicle’s Open Dev by diving into Ashwood Abbey and how this compact might be presented in the 2nd Edition corebook in my post titled Slashers and Ashwood Abbey. First and foremost, I want to thank everybody for commenting and participating in the discussion…

    I mentioned in my Hunter the Vigil 2E developer announcement that I wanted to use OpenDev as a way to introduce how I’m addressing gameplay, structure, and the three tiers in the context of the Slasher Chronicle. This will be an experiment, for both you and for me, that will help us understand how discussions…

  • Day 3: Challenge Your Vigil with Complex Monsters

    Day 3: Challenge Your Vigil with Complex Monsters

    One of the things I love about Hunter: The Vigil is the unique perspective that hunters have compared to the rest of the World of Darkness’s inhabitants. Hunters don’t know everything there is to know about the supernatural and, in many cases, this lack of knowledge works against them. Even if they have all the…

    Since You Can Get This in Print Now: Something Extra for Scion: Extras

    The idea behind Scion: Extras (Supplemental Yet Can Be Somewhat Useful On Occasion Scions) was part fun and part serious. Matt, who developed the supplement, wanted to do something for fans of Scion while tapping into something crazy and new.

Now imagine that your purpose, your…
