Rippers: Victorian era Monster Hunters

About the adventure

A party of unlikely heroes stalk the creatures that stalk the night: Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, and worse. You must use your wits and skills to survive, protect the innocent, and keep the existence of monsters and your society a secret. Science has advanced in leaps and bounds, and now the technology exists to "Rip" the essence of monsters and implant them into the human body. Take back the night with the claws of a werewolf, the wings of a demon, or the heart of a witch filling you with potent but tainted energy. This game is recommended for mature players, but is open to all who want to don their top hats and hoopskirts to dabble in high society, explore the pyramids of Egypt, or discover lost scientific wonders in the ruins of Castle Frankenstein. It will be heavily roleplay based, with just enough potentially lethal combat to keep the stakes high.

How to prepare

A light perusing of the rules would be nice, but teaching an unfamiliar system is woven into the fabric of how I GM

What I provide

All kinds of virtual goodies and high-detail maps and handouts from various Kickstarters

Gameplay details

The gameplay will be a lot of roleplay, investigating strange happenings or looking for weaknesses of long-dead creatures, with some socialization with the highest echelons of society mixed in. Sooner or later though, things all go pear shaped, and that's when the gloves come off and the claws come out. Non-combat characters will still be given plenty to do, and Savage Worlds ensures that everyone can contribute to every situation.
