I'd want Supernatural without any of the 'funny' demons, or copious resurrections, or short-cuts. THAT mostly went out the window as the 'Bros' became 'ship bait' and it all took a cuter, more playful turn.įelicia Day was the final nail in the coffin for me. It often felt like there was no way it could end well. Early Supernatural reminds me a bit of Phantasm (brothers, muscle car, evil supernatural villain, desperate road trips), with equal bits of them hunting and being hunted (by demons and the law). The core Word of Darkness books, as well as the Hunter line-up, do a pretty good job of getting at the sort of feel I'd want such a game to have.īut I'm solidly NOT wanting the pulpier feel of things. I already a bunch of the original OWOD books, inherited from a weird guy we knew, but mostly Vampire. (Oh you disagree? I have have five words for you, Trailer Trash Hillbilly Elven Court.)Ĭlick to expand.I had a similar notion, which led to me buying into the NWoD stuff. I'm not big on the HERO system (YMMV) but its a really fun setting. (5.) Can I give out a big shout out for Monster Hunter International. I really depends on what your shooting for. While something else would be better for a Captain Kronos, Blade, or Supernatural. Certain systems are better for a MHI, or Bureau 13 type game. It depends on what type of game you want to run, or your players want to play. SO a maybe? Been a really long time since I've looked at the book.Ĥ. NIght Shift if memory serves is more of an WoD type game. I'll deffer to others more knowledgeable than I. Seems like something Eden would have gobbled up)ģ. Its just a different beast than, Monster Hunter International, Bureau 13, or Supernatural (TV show, did they do an rpg of this? I don't recall. You may clip a few things in the process of learning the real truth, but the real truth is just as bad as the horrors, wiggling within. Its in my opinion more of a downer cosmic mind fuck. But its not the pulpy two fisted killing monsters, defeating evil with a shotgun kinda game/genre. (This is gonna be unpopular I just know) CoC. It was just pure unabashed fun, wrapped in the crazy kitchen sink pally idea machine.Ģ. Pallys system nowadays is kinda clunky, but back in 93 fuck everything was clunky. We ran a Game/campaign based on the Bureau 13 books and it was a blast. But one that my friends and I had a lot of fun with back in high school. I enjoy the ones with a more Pulp feel as in the Hero's at least stand some chance of success as opposed to the bleak nihlism of the effort in Call of Cthulhu.Ĭlick to expand.1. I own a few of them and have played a few more. Call of Cthulhu? ( I guess? the very first one, though IMO it's more a horror and your being hunted by monsters more than your hunting them).Chill (by Pacesetter games, another oldie.Witch Hunter: The Invisible World ( Great art by Pat Laboyko, set in the Salem Witch Trials era, Captain Chronos would fit here).Ghostbusters ( another obvious omission, it was by West-End games correct? d6?).Savage Worlds version of Monster Hunter International ( somehow I missed this kickstarter, I'll have to pick it up).Lucha Libre Hero! (I forgot about this book, it's great!).Savage Worlds: Rippers ( Van Helsing meets Bio-Hacking).Core nWoD books ( there were a few of them which had a really good non super-power level heros vibe to them.Buffy the Vampire Slayer ( I can't believe I missed this one, it's such an obvious choice).What makes a good Monster Hunting RPG IYO ( In your opinion)ĮDIT ( RPG's the forum denizens mentioned).Do you consider any of the RPG's I listed not really a monster hunting rpg & why?.Which is your Favourite Monster Hunting RPG & why?.I enjoy the ones with a more Pulp feel as in the Hero's at least stand some chance of success as opposed to the bleak nihilism of the effort in Call of Cthulhu. Unisystem ( AFMBE, Witchcraft, Armageddon).Beyond the Supernatural ( another early one).Supernatural RPG, Cortex Classic? ( obviously).Call of Cthulhu? ( Kind of the 1st monster hunting rpg of them all, though IMO it's more a horror and your being hunted by monsters more than your hunting them).
I've been binge watching "Supernatural" with the Wife for the last bit and it's got me thinking about back in the day I always wanted to play "Hunter" before the WoD Hunter RPG was even a thing, and all my angsty friends wanted to do was play Vampire, ugh.Īnyways so I was thinking about other Monster Hunting RPG's and made a short list off the top of my head ( I'm sure there are more and some of my list other may or may not consider a monster hunting rpg)
