Hunter The Vigil: Murder In The Pines (One Shot Proposal)

[Darkfire14]

Greetings people of the Roleplaying Public Radio. I am Darkfire14, an avid RPG fan who has a great respect for all forms of Roleplaying games. Anyway I'm sure many of you have listened to the Knights of the Night actual play podcast and the excellent Hunter the Vigil role-playing game. On this podcast I've only seen two World of Darkness actual plays and although very good adventures I'm itching to expand the number of White Wolf games being run on this site. Thus I am proposing to do a rerun of a Hunter: The Vigil One Shot I ran a few years back to showcase the system. Here is the premise:

Hunter: The Vigil

A series of grizzly murders have occurred in the wilderness surrounding the city of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. With the local police force unable to deal with the situation, a crack team of police specialists and consultants are brought in to solve the case. But what horrors will they face hidden among the pines.

I have Pregens for this game and can take up to five players. The Pregens consist of:

Adam Wright: An RCMP Superintendent seeking to make a name for himself by cracking this case and bringing it to a resolution. He is the head of the investigation team and has no plans to fail the operation.

Candice Morgan: A Forensic Investigator who underwent special training in the states in a Co-Op program with the Vanguard Serial Crimes Unit (VASCU). She is excellent at interrogation and evidence examination. She also possesses Teleinformatics, a form of Psychic ability.

Monroe Palmer: A professor of Zoology at the University of Edmonton who has seen his share of oddities. He is a member of the Loyalists of Thule, a secret society of scholars dedicated to studying lost mysteries. He has been brought on as a consultant due to his vast knowledge of animal behaviors

Grant Hill: A member of the RCMP Emergency Response Unit (Think the Canadian version of SWAT). Due to the severity of the case he has been called in to provide tracking and fire support for the team of investigators.

Danny Samson: A Park Ranger in Yellowknife assigned to provide local support to the investigation team. His knowledge of the land and his wilderness skills are invaluable in the rugged areas around Yellowknife.

Anyway I am checking interest in such a game and wondering if people would be willing to give it a shot. If so, I'm willing to discuss what schedule works best for the group. The game will be run over Skype if it is going to be run. So express your interests here if you're looking to experience some Hunter action!

I's like to give it a one shot (hehe). I'm not as experienced yet, but I live with someone who is and they would be willing to take a backseat to help me through. I have also played Old World Mage before

[NaturaFictor]

I'd totally be up for this. Usually any week night after 8 pm CST is good for me. Never able to find an nwod mortals/hunter game around me.

Hello again,

Sorry for the slow reply, but I've been busy for the past few weeks with numerous gaming events and haven't had the time to pay a lot of attention to the boards. Anyway I have freed up some time for Sunday the 21st of August in order to run this Hunter: The Vigil Demo Game. As for the time, I should be available most of the day so whatever works best for the group. Hopefully we can get someone to record the podcast, as I won't be able to due to the lack of recording software on my computer. So if we want to record the session for the RPPR, someone else will have to do the recording unfortunately. I'll post the character sheets up sometime this week for download and observation. I will be running the game over Skype, but would not mind using some kind of online tabletop to do rolling. If this is too much of a problem, we'll just use the Honor System when it comes to rolling. Remember to have a lot of D10's as its a White Wolf Game.

If you wish to get in touch with me my Skype name is darkfire141 . Feel free to add me and get in touch if you want to ask questions about the game. I'm looking forward to meeting members of the RPPR krewe.

Hello again. Here are the character sheets for the One Shot. I put them up on 4shared as the file is too large to upload to the posting board. Here they are. Feel free to look at them.

Do you have enough players? I see only two people responded to playing

[Darkfire14]

yea, we could use three more players to fill the five characters I've made. If I don't get enough, I'll have to delay the game until we can get more players.

[cutechemist]

I would like to be Danny Samson...btw....welcome alchemical panda, you sexy thang

[AlchemicalPanda]

Hey, new here, not to gaming.  I would be willing to get in on this action.  Although, I have never played the nwod.

EDIT: I would love to play Palmer.

[Darkfire14]

So we've got 2 maybe 3 players thus far. Anyone else interested at the moment?

[Darkfire14]

We may have some players from Drunk & Ulgy joining into the game so we could have enough players to fill the slots. Still we'll need to decide on a good time for the game to be run. As I rent a room in a house and my landlady is a pretty light sleeper, it can't start too late at night, probably around 7 or 8 EST would be a good ball park range. Generally it will have to end before 12 midnight (EST) as that's when my landlady usually is asleep. As for the game, it generally should take 2.5 to 3.5 hours to run, depending on the actions of the players. Either way it would be a good idea to add my Skype darkfire141 so you can get into the action.

[cutechemist]

what day are you talking about starting? i would prefer 8EST on time.

[Darkfire14]

I was thinking Sunday the 21st, but I suppose there isn't an extreme rush, so if more time is needed to organize players, I might run a game Saturday the 27th instead. Yea, 8 EST should be a good time to start for most people it seems.

[cutechemist]

well, i feel bad saying this but if it is in fact on the 27th, i may or may not be able to play. I will be in chicago visiting my mom  in the hospital

[Darkfire14]

Yea it looks like we don't have enough players for the 21st so there will not be a game on Sunday. Still hell or high water I will run this game, I just need to schedule at a date that works for everyone.
