About the adventure
“The lights are still on. The music still plays. But in this mall... the dead are shopping for flesh.” Synopsis: When the local news reports sudden riots and “mass hysteria” at the Mesa Valley Mall, the authorities are quick to dismiss it as another case of consumer chaos. But you know better. You’ve seen this before — the smell of rot disguised under perfume, the hollow look behind friendly smiles, and that gut feeling that something is deeply, cosmically wrong. Tonight, you and your cell of Hunters are going in. The mall is sealed off. The emergency lights flicker. Somewhere inside, a coven of necromancers is conducting an unholy ritual — binding the souls of shoppers and employees to the decaying corpses of the recently dead. Their goal? To perfect a ritual that lets them feed off life without ever facing death again. It’s up to you to stop them before the curse spreads beyond the mall… and into the city. ---- Hunter: The Reckoning is a tabletop roleplaying game of modern supernatural horror — where ordinary people discover the horrifying truth: monsters walk among us. Vampires, werewolves, ghosts, witches — they’re all real, hidden beneath the surface of our everyday lives. But instead of playing those monsters (like in Vampire: The Masquerade or Werewolf: The Apocalypse), in Hunter: The Reckoning you play the humans brave — or desperate — enough to fight back. ⚡ The Premise Imagine waking up to realize that the world is not what you thought it was. The charming barista? She doesn’t have a reflection. The police chief? He’s covering up something inhuman. And when you try to warn people, nobody believes you — except a handful of others who’ve also seen the truth. You and your allies form a Cell — a small group of monster-hunters operating on instinct, intuition, and faith. You’re underfunded, outnumbered, and constantly walking the line between justice and obsession. There are no official organizations or government backing. Just people doing what must be done — even if it costs them their sanity, families, or souls. 🧠 Core Themes Vigilantism & Morality: You’re judge, jury, and executioner — but what happens when you’re wrong? Isolation & Paranoia: You can’t tell who to trust; anyone might be a monster or their servant. Faith vs. Fear: Hunters often believe they’ve been “called” by something — divine, cosmic, or psychological. The Human Cost: Every encounter leaves scars. Every kill pushes you closer to becoming the very thing you hunt. 🔪 How the Game Works The game uses the Storyteller System, similar to other World of Darkness titles (like Vampire or Mage). Dice System: You roll pools of d10s based on your character’s Attributes and Skills to determine success. Convictions & Creeds: Your belief system gives you strength — and defines how you hunt. Edges: These are semi-supernatural gifts or instincts that awaken in Hunters — flashes of insight, psychic senses, divine fury, or uncanny luck.
