V20 Hunters Hunted II Kickstarter to go Live 12Noon EST 1/24/13
Richt
Wednesday, January 23, 2013 5:12:50 PM(UTC)

Most mortals turn away from the darkness that preys upon them, going about their lives in despair of the Damned and the evils they visit upon the world. But a precious few wage a personal war to shine light on those shadows and diminish them, like solitary candles shining in the night. The path of the hunter is lonely and fraught with danger, at once beset by the monsters they hunt and looked upon with suspicion by their fellow mortals they thanklessly seek to protect.

The Hunters Hunted II revisits one of the seminal titles of Vampire: The Masquerade, in which the players take on the roles of those who seek to bring an end to the depredations of the undead. Included are details on those who choose to take up the good fight, expanding the options available to players and offering a host of new storytelling opportunities. No lone hunter or vigilant troupe should face the night without learning the ways of the hunter contained within this book.

The Hunters Hunted II includes:

• Systems by which to play a vampire hunter — one who hunts the Kindred in the World of Darkness.

• Practical advice and teamwork-tactics game systems to bring to bear against the Damned.

• Updated systems for supernatural Numina powers that can grant hunters an edge against the undead.

IT IS ON, folks!

The important levels that I'll point out first:

• $20 "Researcher" gets you the HH2 PDF.
• $45 (US) / $55 (Non-US) "Hunter" gets you the HH2 PDF and HH2 Deluxe.
• $65 (US) / $70 (Non-US) "Camouflaged Hunter" gets you the HH2 PDF, HH2 Deluxe, and the V20 Storyteller Screen.

... You saw that right... V20 Storyteller Screen.
W20 got its storyteller screen on the W20 Deluxe KickStarter, and it went over well enough that apparently the next V20 KickStarter got the V20 Storyteller Screen. This may very well be the ONLY way you can get a V20 ST screen (though, no promises on that point), so be a part of this KS, or arrange with others to get yourself one of these! :D

There are also plenty of other levels and add-ons, including PDFs of the original Hunters Hunted book, Inquisition and Project Twilight, and tiers that include having your likeness used in future books too. There are even some stretch goals (that I'm sure we'll hit speedily), so GO CHECK IT OUT! :D

Yep, of the original V20 sourcebooks announced, this is by far the one I was most excited about! I'm in for the delux book and V20 screen!

And as a huge Changeling: The Dreaming fan, I loved the hunter in the first chapter talking about them :D

Quick question, does anyone know if the Storyteller's Screen is portrait or landscape style? I really like the mock-up for it, and I prefer landscape style, so I was just curious.

Cheers.

At this point, only Rich and Aileen likely know. But based on that mock-up, I'd say it's probably a tri-fold portrait.

I am excited for the V20 Screen, but I am really, really excited for the possible extra content that we could get as stretch goals for this book! The text (as I read, released months ago) is strong, but more information about the Inquisition and maybe Project Twilight or the Arcanum would be so brilliant as to make this book a 'must have' rather than a curiosity for those who already own V20!

...Still, I'm sure it'll be the screen that's gonna sell it. I'm getting the word out to all my peeps who might be interested, and so should all of us!

Right now it sucks being between jobs and having to household your money. Not that I care much for the deluxe edition, I'm quite content with the normal editions. I'd probably just sell it. But I would LOVE to get my hands on the V20 Storyteller Screen. Oh well, hopefully they'll throw it in with future kickstarters too, when I have more money to spend.

I just posted the link to the HH2 Kickstarter on the 'Where's My Deluxe V20 Screen' thread. For my part, I'm ambivalent about the notion of Onyx Path offering the V20 Storyteller's Screen on a later Kickstarter. While it WOULD likely be a decent draw, it would also kinda spoil the exclusive feel of getting it from this offering.

...Yeah, I'm just enough of an elitist prat to want the screen just 'coz everyone does not have it. Still, I've hardly touched any of my V20 Deluxe books since getting them. I might just keep the screen so that I can sell my entire Deluxe set AS a set some day. Maybe I'll just gobble up some extra screens for purposes of selling them to IgnyteZero on the secondary market? emotion-5.gif

Hmm, now that is of course an excellent solution. By the time you actually has them in your hands, I hopefully have money in my life again. emotion-1.gif

The Hunters Hunted II $45k goal has been reached! The Inquisition will be included as an appendix in the book!

Now, with 12 days we go, we need $3k more for Project Twilight PDF, or $5k more ($50,000 total) to have the Project Twilight included within the book as well.

We only have less than two weeks left, so let's see what else we can do to get more pledges... After all, there's more than Project Twilight to include if we can get more pledges!

Otherwise I've relatively little interest with this project.

I would highly encourage you to not only contribute to the KickStarter to get closer to that $48,000 goal to make the updated information on Project Twilight happen, but to also encourage others to also contribute so that we can exceed the $50,000 goal to get it included int he physical copy of the book too.

By just $65 as of 11:40am EST (or sometime before), Hunters Hunted II KickStarter has funded the Project Twilight PDF material. With just $2K more, it will be included IN the book itself!

Great job, guys! Keep spreading the word. There's more to be added, and don't forget to spread the word about the V20 Screen order you can include with your pledge!

Woo hoo! Project Twilight is in!

I just posted over on the Mage board that the Arcanum will be the next stretch goal, hoping that they will find that as exciting as I assume the Werewolf fans will find Project Twilight. Thanks for posting a link to the Kickstarter over there, Torakhan!

...This is all just so wonderful that I can't find words. That we are allowed to make the book -- in all forms -- better with our Kickstarter pledges can only bode well for future projects. If we can, let's try to make sure that the Arcanum makes it into The Hunters Hunted II!

Agreed.

I feel this book is going to be essential for 20th, not just V20. Having a book that includes most organizations of hunters in it is not only useful, it saves time.

In the latest update to the Hunters Hunted II KickStarter, Richard Thomas posts that Arcanum info is indeed the next stretch goal. At $53K, a 5K-word addition will be written, and at $56K it'll be included in all editions of the HH2 book (Deluxe, PoD, PDF). The additional cost is due to exceeding a certain number of pages that adds additional cost, so that's why it's a $1K higher than the others.
Richard Thomas wrote:
And after the Arcanum...what next? It's pretty obvious that folks are really into having the Stretch Goals add actual page count to The Hunters Hunted II itself, so would you want another section that covers other cWoD hunter groups? Which ones?


Still, what comes next could be influenced by us.
Want to see other groups included? Other regions of hunters and organizations/agencies? What about other times in history?

Speak up and let your thoughts be heard. emotion-1.gif

I'd LOVE to see some of the groups only glazed by in the CWoD actually get fleshed out a bit: the Akritai, Judges, Ikhwan al-Safa, Knights of Saint George...

Tuesday, February 12, 2013 4:19:47 AM(UTC)

Whoot! $53K+ on the Hunters Hunted II KickStarter! The Arcanum are going to be updated (5K words, at least.)
Now, just $3K more and it'll be included in the book itself.

Quote:

Honestly, after the point where we get the Arcanum in the book, I'm not sure I'd want for more. There are some posts over on the Kickstarter pate about a possible 'Hunter Gear' section addition, which might be nice to see as long as it's NOT just a list of guns and ammo... As a matter of fact, the two pages of gear in the original The Hunters Hunted could really use an update, now that I look at it.

I'd also be okay with the fiction anthology, but I'm not sure that there's really a hunter group that I'd need to see in the book at this point.

Richard Thomas has posted an update to the Hunters Hunted 2 KickStarter.
Obviously The Arcanum was fully funded for the book, but what's next?


Richard Thomas wrote:
" ...after talking, we realized that the inclusion of the three organizations provides a logical jumping off point for a new section describing the specialized equipment The Inquisition, Project Twilight, and The Arcanum use. We can update and expand on all the relics, spy-tech, and volumes of eldritch lore, as well as items and gear used by the individual hunters described in Hunters Hunter II itself. So that's one we'll be adding as a Stretch Goal.

As a bonus, we'll also be looking into adding looks at the smaller, obscure, hunter groups like the Judges."


So, $60K and $63k are the new goals!

Monday, 5:00pm EST is the deadline!

<44 hours left of the Hunters Hunted II Deluxe Edition KickStarter!
With Rich Thomas' latest post, we've exceeded the $60K goal, and now we just need another $3K to get the Hunters Equipment (and a few other small hunter groups written up) included in the physical book!

Again, this may likely be the only chance to get the V20 ST screen, as well as the journal-inspired Deluxe Edition of Hunters Hunted II. Remember too that there's a good chance that vampire-hunting equipment could potentially be useful for other vampires who seek to hunt/harm/capture other vampires too (but, no promises, as I've no idea of the actual contents of this addendum.)

So, go out and spread the word! It really won't take much for us to exceed the $63K we need to make it to our last stretch goal!

Now we're moving in to the last 24 hours of the Hunters Hunted II Deluxe Edition Kickstarter, and we have reached the $63k goal of getting the equipment section added! Rich just posted the final stretch goal of adding 5000 words on Criminal Organisations (mentioned briefly in V20) and their reactions to the Kindred. This one will be at $66k, put in the book at that level with no 'PDF only version' to precede it! Every $500 after, a short story fiction will be written as part of a PDF exclusive compilation.

...So what went from a 120ish page revision of a classic book has turned into what might be closer to 160+ pages including exciting new content, with possible fiction addition all due to the support of the Kickstarter. Oh, AND it's your chance to get the V20 Storyteller's Screen. The last day is here, so take a look now if you're interested. A mere $40 pledge can get you the book, and $15 more gets you the screen (plus international shipping if you're outside the U.S.A.). Maybe it's worth taking a look? I leave that for you to decide, but I think it's pretty wonderful!

With 12 hours to go on the Hunters Hunted II Deluxe Edition KickStarter, not only did we pass the $66K goal (meaning that criminal organizations will be included in the HH2 book in all forms), but we're just a few $ away from the first short story being written as well.

I'd also like to point out that as we crossed the $66K goal, we've officially funded the project by 200% as well!

Good job, everyone! I hope to see you guys on the W20 Changing Breeds KickStarter soon as well! emotion-1.gif
