Summary

For centuries, supernatural powers have reigned, warring among themselves, culling the human herds and lashing out from the shadows. The creatures of the night have held court since before the dawn of history. Nothing lasts forever.

From the throng of humanity, individuals emerge who know the truth. They know monsters exist. Enough is enough! The forces of darkness must pay their due. The time of retribution is at hand.

Hunter is devoted to the stories of individual people who are chosen to witness monsters and come to grips with their existence. But what do monsters think of these upstart mortals? How do you scare your players as much as their characters? This book helps you get the most out of your Hunter chronicle.
