About the adventure
October 2012. As Hurricane Sandy slowly approaches, a group of ordinary people come to realize that things aren't right in South Jersey. People are going missing. The State Police won't intervene. People are having their memories tampered with - or worse, they're under the thumb of some sinister force. People are dying. No one seems to care. But you do. You and the others. You've rented some rooms at the Crystal Shell Inn in Ocean City to compare notes. There has to be a way to unravel this thing before the storm washes away the evidence. It makes landfall in 1 week. There's a Devil In South Jersey. But you'd never know they were a monster by looking at them. **This is an adaptation of the story "Alone in the Dark" from the published Hunter: The Reckoning chronicle book "Lines Drawn In Blood". If you've already played this adventure, you'll find many of the same characters and plot elements.**
perfect for first time H:tR players. Immerse yourself in the World of Darkness!

What I provide
Hunter: The Reckoning - South Jersey Scourge is a custom Foundry VTT Chronicle. It runs on an HTTPS secured custom FoundryVTT media server hosted in NJ, USA. All necessary materials to play H:tR H5 on Foundry are included. Custom tokens, art, maps, etc. Music is played in the background during the session but can be muted by the player. This story is limited to adults 18+ as, like many World of Horror stories it contains violence, horror, and other mature themes. **This is an adaptation of the story "Alone in the Dark" from the published Hunter: The Reckoning chronicle book "Lines Drawn In Blood". If you've already played this adventure, you'll find many of the same characters and plot elements.** With fully functional and explorable "levels" spanning a 20+ New Jersey locales, the possibilities for storytelling are endless - and extremely visual. The players are free to explore locales at their discretion, never once needing to ask "how far away is that door again?" - They simply walk up themselves and open it. "Scenes" are halfway between adventure game screen and visual novel. They give a more personal feel to important conversations with NPCs that are aided by switching the top down perspective to a first person one. Fully online, ready to play. No downloads. - all that's needed to play is a high speed internet connection + voice communication via Discord. Players must be free during a 7PM-10PM EDT Thursday time slot. https://discord.gg/2eR5xrqwh5 FAQ: What do I need to play? 1. High Speed(cable/fiber optic) internet connection 2.

All experience levels are welcome. I have an extensive knowledge of World of Darkness specific lore that I am happy to share with newcomers. I don't want the lore of the game to be a hurdle to interested players. Part of the fun of a Hunter chronicle is discovering the world together. How long will the Chronicle last? In my experience as a professional GM, it is difficult to gage this exactly. Sessions may be postposed or side stories may progress in unintended ways. We will aim for weekly sessions, and the overall Chronicle will last at least 9 total sessions - 3 for each chapter of the story. Do I have to play the whole Chronicle? Similar to other collaborative TTRPGs, it's certainly possible to play only a fraction of the total amount of sessions in the Chronicle. We would ideally figure out ways for characters to enter and exit the story or cell in these instances to accommodate player availability. Can you help me create my Hunter Character? of course! this is handled in session 0
