Setting
- Reference TL: 8
- Reference Culture: Western
- Reference Language: English
- Magic System: (MH) RPM
Style
- Style: Cinematic (comic-book flavored; ATE2 p. 49)
- Morality: Heroes Wanted (ATE2 p. 50)
Tropes
Inverse Ninja Rule:Vampires (somewhat justified); 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.
Campaign Victory Conditions
Scored at the end of the campaign. Benefits TBD.
- Neutralize all (12) vampire nests.
