Tropes

Police Are Useless; 20 Minutes Into the Future

Central Tension

The growing vampire infestation

Expectations

• Iron-Man Rules: Quarter will neither be asked nor given; no safety nets, no fudging
• Expect BBEGs to go after PCs' significant-others/family-members/etc., and show no restraint or mercy. Some of them should die, eventually.
• Expect law-enforcement to do everything they can to pursue, prosecute, and incarcerate vigilantes, no matter how helpful they may be. PCs' may have to do jail-time.
• Expect BBEGs to have super-friends, and use them against the PCs.

Intended Features

• True sandbox campaign; no linear narrative
• Increasing difficulty over time (via BAD, Action 2)
• Lots of Fantastic Dungeon Grappling; vamps will definitely get grabby
• Lots of use of "The Hunt" (MH2:4)—but clues are definitely gonna have to be earned
• "Improvement Through Study" (via spreadsheet)
• Cinematic Conventions:

• Hacking works on anything with a computer chip (within reason), but it's effectively a (narrative-based only) "superpower," and not just anyone with a keyboard can do it.

Economy

IRL prices & pay. Refer to Pyramid 4/5 Modern Action II, "The Working Adventurer" p.36 for Jobs (pp. 40-41), and Cost of Living (p. 11)
