1st Border Red Devil Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 Ok.... I know there are a few World of Darkness fans on this site and I figured I would spread some good news. First, of course, is the WW press release about the rights for Hunter. I would LOVE to see a movie done about Hunter. I loved Frailty, the only movie that comes close to the Hunter ideal. So, for those of you interested....here is the link.... Hunter Movie Press Release Second, for those that dont know...there IS going to be a new World of Darkness, starting in August. I just recieved my copy of Gehenna (which has some cool scenarios...very little metaplot wrap up though) and skimmed through it until I reached the back and saw an advert on the very back page. It advertised for Vampire: The Requiem. It claims that a new system (probably more streamlined for more integration of games) as well as a New World of Darkness. So....I now have something I can spend even MORE money on coming this summer. Quote

yellowlightman Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 I'm so out of the RPG loop, what is Hunter: The Reckoning? Er, the story I mean. The last time I paid any attention to the World of Darkness it was just Vampire, Werewolf, Mage and Changeling. Either way I hope it does better than other past RPG-based movies or TV series (The D&D movie or the Vampire TV series, anyone?). Wasn't there recently a video games based on Hunter? Quote

Wasn't there recently a video games based on Hunter? I know some BASIC stuff about it (stopped caring about other WoD lines about the time it came out.. Mage, Vampire, or Werewolf.. the others can bite it..) But.. Hunters are imbued by the messengers (Angels) to "inherit the earth" from all the nasties that prance through the dark (while writing gothic poetry that laments their undead lives....) Anyhow, they're pretty weak, and often go insane, but they're good guys... I think.... I know their powers are based off "charms," which are similar to WW's other new line, Exalted, as well as the Gifts from Werewolf (I THINK...) Oh yea, if you like Final Fantasy, Hong Kong blood operas, or just fantasy anime, check out Exalted. It's quite a bit of fun, being crazy epic and all. I've been running a game for about three years now that's quite successful... I'm proud to say I've turned to frat boys to it... Quote
the white drew carey Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 Dude... HUNTER? Didn't that show go off the air over a decade ago? Didn't they already do a crappy made-for-TV movie last year? Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 wasn't there a Wraith game in the world of darkness? the only one of those games i ever liked was the old west Werewolf game. Quote
1st Border Red Devil Posted January 27, 2004 Author Posted January 27, 2004 (edited) Anyhow, they're pretty weak, and often go insane, but they're good guys... I think.... I know their powers are based off "charms," which are similar to WW's other new line, Exalted, as well as the Gifts from Werewolf (I THINK...) Not exactly. Close...but no cigar Hunters are Imbued by something (maybe the Elohim that didnt rebel against God with the Morningstar). They have edges that depend upon one of the three virtues.....as well as based on their Creed...which is sort of like Clan/Tribe/Tradition&Convention/House in the rest of the World of Darkness. They are the weakest, relatively speaking, of the creatures of the World of Darkness. However, they can do some fearsome stuff....especially nasty ones like Wayward or Hermits. wasn't there a Wraith game in the world of darkness Yes. Wraith: the Oblivion. For me, its a tie between Wraith and Mage as to which is my favorite in the World of Darkness. Close second is a tie between Hunter and Demon: the Fallen. Wraith had some fun elements...like Thorns that your Shadowguide got to use at the most opportune times. For instance (I had this used against me in a game)....you walk up to a local Grim Legion Centurion and instead of asking for directions somewhere (which is what you intended) your Shadow takes control with the Thorn: Slip of the Tongue and you end up proposing doing something rather disgusting together (and impossible anyway, you're dead and so is the Legionnaire). This is so your Shadowguide can laugh their ass off at your misfortune as well as make your standing with said Legion that much less. And so and so forth.

Wasn't there recently a video games based on Hunter? Ugh.... the D&D Movie ranks up their with Starship Troopers as among the worst adaptations to screen. The director and script writer(s) should have been taken out and beaten to a pulp with copies of The Monster Manual and The Dungeon Master's Guide. Wizards controlling Dragons in a setting other than Krynn? Said Dragon not frying the offending mage where he stood for his presumptive arrogance? Actually...Kindred: the Embraced supposedly continued on in Canada and was sort of popular. I never saw a single episode myself...so I dont know how good or bad it was. There were two videogames for Hunter: Wayward and Redeemer. Im surprised that they did a Wayward game...considering it would have to really be a Mature Rated game. The Wayward Creed book was a Black Dog Games imprint and was 18+ to buy. Quote

GreenGuy42 Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 It was a vampire soap opera. I think it met its final end when the lead was killed in a motorcycle accident... I wasn't too fond of it, myself. Quote
