Pre-Order ‘Hunter: The Reckoning’ RPG & Get Ready to Stake Vampires

2 Minute Read
Jul 29 2022

Hunter: the Reckoning gets a shiny new edition in a few short weeks, pre-order now. Stake a bloodsucking dracula later.

Hunter: the Reckoning is the game that’s all about taking a stake to the World of Darkness. That is, it turns you into mortal monster hunters in a world where the darkness of legend is all too real.

When werewolves battle ancient evil spirits, vampires lord over cities like modern day princedoms, and mages pry back reality to see what’s underneath, where do mortals fit in?

It answers an interesting question. Because in the World of Darkness all the monsters and magic are in the shadows. Werewolves and vampires may be apex predators, but they live in fear of humanity. The whole ‘Masquerade’ part of Vampire: the Masquerade exists to hide them from humans.

What makes us so terrifying? Why do they fear mortals? Because en masse, they’re unstoppable. And it’s not just an allegory for the collective action of people acting in solidarity. But it’s also that. Alone, though, a mortal can feel powerless. Hunter: the Reckoning answers that. It shows what happens to people in extreme circumstances, faced with true evil.

That’s what makes it one of my favorite parts of the World of Darkness. And now, its new edition is at hand. In a few short weeks, it’ll be out. Pre-order today!

Pre-Order Hunter: the Reckoning 5th Edition – $55

A Storytelling Game of Desperate Measures

“You saw what you shouldn’t have, the veil pulled back from the secret world and the monsters who prowl it. You chronicled the tragedies they wrought, these monsters, and the victims upon whom they preyed. You grasped the extent of their influence and witnessed the corruption of the organizations formed to keep them in check. And you vowed to do something about it. Tonight, you act. It’s time for a Reckoning.

In Hunter: The Reckoning, players take on the role of mere mortal humans instead of the fantastic Vampires of Vampire: The Masquerade. They’ve stumbled across something that’s alerted them to the world that hides just beneath the surface, and they feel compelled to try and make a difference.
