About the adventure

The streets of Los Angeles are plagued by supernatural phenomena like no other. With that in mind, some higher command in the Los Angeles Police Department is maintaining an off-the-books task force that deals with trying to hunt down these issues. You are being transferred to a division enigmatically referred to as "Special Investigations". Everyone assumes that Special Investigations is just some special PR name for cases involving high-value individuals, but you'll come to find out there is much more to it than that. You are a member of the LAPD (though not necessarily a cop yourself, often members from the motor pool, forensics, or the like can be transferred in) who has unknowingly started to see and be aware of the supernatural. It could be anything as dangerous as witnessing a vampire feeding or genuinely discovering that the dead walk the streets near Hollywood Forever cemetery. Whatever you decide that supernatural you have come into contact you are a budding hunter, and this government-backed organization wants to put you on the path of fighting these supernatural threats to your city. It's time to Protect and Serve to a degree you never thought possible, but you better be ready to work nights! Please be mindful that this is a Play By Post Game, which will be done almost exclusively through text. Daily plot progression posts will be made throughout the week, and players will get a guarantee of 4-5 responses from me per day at minimum as we develop the story. Players are charged weekly at the 'session' time posted on the game information page.

Character creation

Creating your character

A session 0 will walk players through the process of hunter the reckoning character creation (new player friendly if needed). Session 0 will also include cell (party) creation, to ensure group cohesion if possible dependent on how quickly the game fills up. Players will fill out a horror consent sheet to prioritize boundaries / lines and veils, etc.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Players should come prepared with what kind of law enforcement asset they want to play (cop, forensics expert, technician, confidential informant, etc). Make sure to join the chronicle at: https://discord.gg/3DBbjrZe
