A Lexicon that mainly covers some of the meta-terms from Wraith, and finally some suggested Source Material.ДЄctually, how about we scan through the Source Material? Back in the day that would often be how I discovered something new to read or watch. The appendix has general rules for ghosts. Eight chapters and an Appendix, covering history, paranormal investigation methodology, organizations, a focus on mediums, character creation, in-character case files, and a storytelling chapter. Theme and Mood for the book is Mystery and Fear of the Unknown. Sticks with the general form of intro long established for WoD books. Next I'll start getting into the actual meat of the book. Not bad, and like the cover a good initial setup to manage expectations of a Ghost Hunter Chronicle. It ends with the sole survivor returning (having broken out of jail after being incarcerated for murder), hoping to retrieve what's left of the friend taken by the ghosts in the woods. Since it's the World of Darkness, things go badly. They're exploring some woods following up on an online video, hoping to capture the footage that will get them their own cable tv show. The opening fiction is called A Cry in the Night, describing a pair of investigators who ghost hunt in their spare time (the Spectre Detectors). (That said, I'm very much looking forward to the physical special edition, as like the aforementioned Hunters Hunted II the special edition cover should have a cracked, stained, and branded style that looks cool as hell) I'd say it's a good example of setting the tone, laying out the generic expectation of core game principles from the outset. Here, it's a group of teens/young adults looking at a set of blueprints, in front of a darkened building (with spectral forms gathering above).

With Hunters Hunted, the non-Special Edition cover is a group of humans staking a vampire. And for a start, I think the cover illustration is solid.

But now I get to enjoy it with the full illustrations. I will say that back when this was Kickstarted a year ago I did actually read through the manuscript previews, so this isn't precisely a cold read. While it's tagged as a Wraith: the Oblivion 20th Anniversary book, it seems to more broadly cover the role of mortal paranormal investigators for the 20th anniversary line of books (similar to Hunters Hunted II). That's probably an angle I'll be considering while going through the book, though with the understanding that's not the default assumption that the game was built around.ДЄlright, jumping in.

I don't know if it will go anywhere (my current gaming group is a bit less Storyteller-focused than it has been in the past), but at the very least I'm hoping it will provide a nice nostalgia hit for me.ДЄs an aside: one of the reasons I've been kicking around the idea of a ghost hunter game is partly wondering if it could provide a setup where combat mechanics are minimized and investigation and social resolutions would instead be the main mechanical heft of the game.

Plus for a while now I've been wanting to prep a game with this setup, as well as diving back into the setting of Wraith: the Oblivion.

The pdf just dropped for WoD: Ghost Hunters, and given the October time-frame I'm feeling like doing a read-through.
