    This video is about Hunter: the Reckoning, a somewhat unusual but fitting entry into the World of Darkness, how it has been reimagined in Fifth Edition, and where it's roots in the lore (AKA The Imbued) lie.

    The other day, an acquaintance was talking about his hunter character. His origin was his wife was turned into a kindred, clan malkavian, who diablerized her Sire, and her sire's sire, then walked up to him one night at told him, "I have become a vampire, there are more out there, i am losing my mind, in one and a half years, i will loose all of myself. I want you to kill me before that happens. I want to let you, but there is something in me that won't let me let you. Please love." His campaign group made his story a priority because it was more interesting than everyone else's.
    The story teller drew this out for about a year, and she did a good job. A little too good of a job. When the final session wrapped, more than half the players were openly weeping, and they all said they needed a break. They were going to pick up again in mid 2020.
    Their Storyteller didn't make it. I hope they didn't give up on the game, and are out there playing in her honor.

    Our GM decided to have me and my mate play Hunters as a sort of foil to other two Vampire players. We were supposed to act like NPCs, but ended up pretty much stealing the whole show. We used sunlight/daytime and phosphor shells to our advantage, we blew up their sportscar, torched their rooftop helicopter villa, the only cooler thing than us filling up a car tire with fuel, lighting and rolling it into the Vamps, was one of us randomly catching lycantropy and the other having a holy handcannon 😂

      Not sure how you'd catch Lycanthropy, you can only be born a werewolf in WoD because it's an ability (not a curse) transferred solely through lineage. I mean you could try a ritual of rebirth or something, but then you have to be a mage, where you literally die (as in your avatar is destroyed) and are reborn a shapeshifter.
      Unless it was homebrew of course, but the reason werewolves are pretty rare in WoD is that they can only spread through breeding.

      @AveSicarius I have no idea as to the canonicity of any of that. We were total newcomers to WoD. The GM said he was very familiar with the setting, and that he would guide us. We Hunter players went along with it and played upon stereotypes we knew to mess with Vamps. I think I remember the lycantropy was caught through a blood transfusion or something. We really didn't care as much we had fun wrecking the Vampires 😆

      Yeah it's probably homebrew, and honestly so long as you have fun it obviously doesn't matter about canon. Just pointing out that in the current lore you cannot actually catch Lycanthropy, you have to be born with it. It's more like a spiritual state than anything, not a disease, and you sort of have to be blessed with some of Gaia's juice to gain those power's.

    What if you had a militant hunter who was less about personal fighting prowess and more about strategy and team management? A captain from the Vietnam War who came home with a medical discharge to a vampire living in his home with his wife who is now a ghoul. The vampire lunges at him, so he pulls out the pistol he'd kept from his service and puts a round under the monster's chin. To his horror, this only stuns the seemingly normal man, and he takes the opportunity to flee. He returns at the crack of dawn the next day to burn the house down before leaving his old life behind for good, realizing his war is far from over

    1:16:00 Kinfolk hunters are the BEST. You have an excuse to justify connections to the supernatural communities or knowledge that gets you started, you've got a compelling troublesome family dynamic, you can learn rites (only up to level 2, but still, that's enough to summon and bind spirits), you've got all the culture and history that comes with being a blood member of the garou nation, you've got a super cool thing to spend XP or boons on (gifts and rites), and if you want to play on the dark side...you could always try for the Rite of Sacred Rebirth. That could be a campaign in and of itself. Then your hunter cadre has a full blown goddamn werewolf on their side.

    Honestly, H5 is pretty good (save for... Unfortunate lore and confusing mechanics at times). I just wish we also got Reckoning 5. Because these two games have vastly different themes at play.
    H5 is closer to vigil, where small cells of hunters (often employed by large, true organisations) stalk the night in the wake of mayhem and spring the trap that a vampire breaks its fangs on.
    But Reckoning, while it had that aspect too no doubt, in theme was so much closer so being *The Reckoning* of monster kind. Divinely inspired by *something* that finally decided to draw the line at what the beasts of night could get up to, displaying this limit to chosen mortals in great, maddening visions. It was a bikergang sharing one last drink before venturing into a firey horizon to fight with the might of angels against the worst of the worst.
    They are very different. Both good. But id wished the Imbued got something of themselves.
    Not to say that Reckoning didnt have its flaws that H5 fixed. The fact Imbued culture seemed so over developed for only really being around for 3 years when the book came out was strange, and the focus on equipment fits the new theme. Buuut i also think that the shock of being dropped into a fog, only being able to discern others dropped in and using the internet and physical visions as beacons to establish said minor Imbued culture was lost, which is really sad to me.
    But yeah, thats me. H5 is still fun

      I had plans for him to be manipulating the crew the whole time so they could weaken the elders and unknowingly give him a perfect chance to get rid of most of them, but unfortunately the game got cancelled before I could realize the full potential of that guy. At least he scared the hell outta everyone in the group, like... his first appearance was him burning with ease a Nosferatu antagonist that up until that point was simply wiping the floor with them in a relentless chase. They were running for their lives until the hunter arrived, set the big bad aflame only to then turn to them and pretend he was gonna chase them as well, making them go back to running for their lives.

    I agree entirely with your overall analysis of the 5th edition 👍🏻 Also yeah the book is obnoxious and self righteous about the whole independent Vs Orgs. And I don't think they're being ironic or meta or whatever about it. I homebrew that aspect out and my players are free to join things such as the Society of Leopold or the Arcanum without losing their Drive (at least initially)...but at the cost of their freedom 🤷 Oh you want to save you grandma from being eaten? Too bad your objective is mere scouting without intervention, make your choice. Or maybe you want to banish the ghost around the well of your village? F you, your assignment is in Patagonia.

You could stay but the hunters would need to heavily adapt it would kinda be a darkest hour. every encounter would almost kill one of the other hunters the vampire would have to be the heavy hitter and defend your fellow hunters as they support and cover you in combat.

    the fixer with the contacts, the fixer who isnt inventing and tinkering himself but can source what you need cause he Knows A Guy
    Im playing a guy kinda like that in pathfinder right now, a rogue who is himself inexperienced in adventuring (I get bad rolls a lot) but has access to the various things a thief or assassin would have because he knows guys who can source these things, he knows someone who would buy that cool rare gem the giant spider was sitting on etc
