Hunter's Moon

Quote:

Hunter's tip #109: Never trust a zombie selling life insurance.

One of many lessons learned in the life of the hunters and the hunted. There might have been a time when this notebook would have been read over and laughed at. But now well over half of them are facts of life, at least to those who gaze upon it.

Science gave man many things. Longer lifespans, more knowledge, technology... but like all things it came at a great price. Gradually, the world of humans became blinded by their own expance of knowledge, forgetting from one generation to the next to teach its people the lore and rituals of old. In the interest of chemistry and physics, man slowly lost its ability to use its "sixth sence", which was proclaimed by many as nonexistant. Vampires walk unnoticed in the dead of night. Creatures lurk in the dark waters of the marshes. Zombies sell life insurance, looking to others like any other salesman with tired plastered on smiles. Spirits are apathetically dismissed as "light flares" and "the wind".

Now and then, a figure will either intentionally or accidentally awaken their latent abilities. In most cases, this occurs during a close encounter with those creatures that hide under guises the normal five sences cannot penetrate. Those that manage to survive such unfortunate encounters are faced with a renewal of their sences, completed with their missing counterpart. They are able to see then the world where monsters have hidden for years, forming their own cultures under the noses of their former hunters.

Settings

Hunter's moon is set in the modern era, and for most people is it the same mundane dog-eat-dog world our own players know.

Specifically, it is centralized in a large town that is surrounded by farmland on one side, and marshy woodland on the other. It has its fairs, sports teams, parks, and other forms of entertainment. But it is not deemed large enough to have "city" flares. (Thought the big city of darkness setting was getting a bit cliche).

The population (from "normal" eyes) is typical. You have your small bands of delinquents, stray dogs, and small business merchants that have seemed to have been around forever. From the perspective of the "awakened" however, the place is festering with various monsters. Some are simply living out their lives among humans, while others have their own agendas that may range from having someone for dinner to enslaving the human race for their own enjoyment.

Each monster and awakened human is unique. Each by birth has their own strengths and weaknesses from folklore (or white wolf manuals). One vampire may be alergic to sunlight, while another might not take a liking to garlic for example.
