#iHunt: Hunt Monsters in the Gig Economy!

#iHunt: Hunt Monsters in the Gig Economy!

Fate Core System | Campaign

About the adventure

What is #iHunt? Freelance monster hunting. Think if Buffy the Vampire Slayer used an app like Uber to find monsters to kill, and her primary motivation is making enough cash to pay the rent. It’s set in a hyper reality version of our world, where the gig economy is scarier than your average Wolfman. In the world of #iHunt, people are JUST aware enough of the supernatural to know there’s an app for stopping monsters. Most people think it’s a scam or a joke, that is, until a vampire moves into the vacant house across the street. About this Gig-Based Campaign This #iHunt adventure is part of a plan for a long-term, gig-based campaign. What I mean is that it’ll work like an old 90s TV show like the X-Files. There’s an overarching plot with an ongoing story. However, individual play sessions will be isolated “gigs.” This is to say, every story will have the characters hunting a monster on the #iHunt app. However, the results of these stories will be tied together in a sort of “living campaign.” I’ll be creating videos and news reports based on the consequences of your actions, and if we get multiple games running, you’ll be able to respond to the messes other hunters have left in the world.

Mena ran a really fun beginners session for us. She made it very enjoyable, was very patient and explained everything really well. Highly recommended for anyone looking to dip their toe into playing DnD!

F Young really helped us get a first grasp of how DnD is played. I love the voices she makes impersonating different characters. She is very patient when it comes to beginners and I would totally recommend her introductory sessions if you are looking to start playing.

For anyone curious I spent a session playing with Young, she is a very infectious DM, that really knows how to attach an idea or go with the flow. My words don't do her justice, it's just something you'll have too see.

Been playing with them for a few sessions now and can confirm that their game is absolutely a blast to be a part of. Engaging players with elements of their backstory from the jump with fantastic voices and a great personality. A+ DM skills and a joy to be at the table with.

How to prepare

-Working mic (natch) -Computer that can handle Discord and maybe a browser window if you want to look at Owlbear live. (Both are free to use!) -A camera if you're up to it. Love to see your smiling face to know if my jokes landed or not. That's it! I can provide you with everything else!

What I provide

We'll use Discord for organization and audio/video calls. Some combat and exploration scenes will use a VTT like Owlbear Rodeo, all with free sign ups for players. I will provide players with sheet guidance and aids so you'll never have to crack a book to play if you don't want to! If you'd like an idea of how I run a table, I streamed several episodes of my own game #iHunt with the Critshow! You can check that out here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb9QudaBHls&t=707s&pp=ygUSI2lodW50IGFjdHVhbCBwbGF5

Gameplay details

Safety Tools: The Level Sheet This is our “level sheet.” Before the game, every participant will be able to fill out the level sheet to tell me what they want in their game sessions, what they don’t want, what they really want, and what they’re okay with so long as it’s off-screen. This sets the baseline, and makes sure everyone has a say in the story’s contents. #iHunt is a dark humor game, and it takes an irreverent tone toward the injustice and brutality of the world. As Bad Religion said in their song Punk Rock Song, “This is just a punk rock song, written for the people who can see something’s wrong.” #iHunt is a game full of social and political commentary—it doesn’t shy away from that at all, but we stab at the world with humor. Tonally, think What We Do in the Shadows, The Boys, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The level sheet is there to keep you safe in case parts of those stories would hurt your enjoyment.

How will character creation work

This will be a part session zero! Characters in Fate and #iHunt are fast and fun to make and building a crew together is pretty important! Pregens will be available too if you just wanna let my brilliant writing guide your play!
