I'm thinking of running a RP based on White Wolf's Hunter the Reckoning.

To the uninitiated, the basic premise is that a small number of people have awakened to the the existence of supernatural creatures that hide in the shadows and prey on humanity. Upon their awakening these individuals are bestowed with extraordinary powers that help them confront the monsters. However even these powers do not make Hunters invincible. Most die when they underestimate an opponent and rely on popular culture for their understanding of supernatural. Others find themselves behind the bars, on the run or in hiding, because the most powerful creatures pull the strings of police and government agencies. Yet others are driven insane by post traumatic stress, loss of friends and loved ones.

The RP will focus on adventures of the group of newly awakened Hunters, with a possibility of couple supernatural characters.

Mm. Well, this could be intriguing. I haven't seen anyone do a Hunter setting for a while, but I've been feeling the urge for some modern-fantasy. Still, I've got a couple questions to start with.

- What's going to be the driving force to get the characters together?

- Is there going to be some kind of overarching story, and is it one that the characters can survive? I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not terribly interested in a Call of Cthulhu-like "endless, preying horror from which you will not escape" story.

- Are you planning on using the tabletop character sheets, or treat it more like the usual semi-freeform sort of thing?

Hi Naril, thank you for your interest.

The driving force for the characters getting together is the fact that they become imbued during an incident involving supernaturals and a group led by a Wayward Hunter. As the newly imbued, the characters will have to make sense of the supernatural threat and the savagery of the Human monsters.

Yes, there is an overarching story, currently I'm planning 2-3 self contained story arcs hopefully with satisfying resolutions.

As for the character sheets, I'm leaning towards the semi-free form, as to not alienate the people unfamiliar with the WW system or who don't own the books. The edges and powers will be pretty canon.
