the Hard Case

I've fought anything normal that can be fought, and I've won.

Monsters need a beatdown, and there ain't nobody can give 'em the thrashing I can.

So stand back, I got this.

A Monster of the Week

hunter playbook.

To make your Hard Case , pick a name. Then follow the

instructions below to decide your look, ratings, moves, and

gear. Finally, introduce yourself and pick history.

Basic moves:

Basic moves:

Basic moves:

Investigate, Read a Bad Situation

Basic moves:

Kick Some Ass, Protect Someone

Basic moves:

Use Magic



Inspired Guesswork:

Once per mystery, observing a

monster in action, you may investigate a mystery to

discover its powers, motivations, or weaknesses. It works

even if what you asked about wasn't displayed: you work it

out by deduction (okay: guessing).



Come Get Some:

You can challenge your foes to fight you

alone, maybe in words or maybe just by being the biggest,

baddest bastard in the team. Roll +Tough. On a 10+ they all

go for you. On a 7-9 they go for you, mainly, but maybe one

or two of your comrades are getting marked too. On a miss,

they come for you harder than you expected.



Property Damage:

You can smash your way through

almost anything. If it is at all possible to destroy an

inanimate object with the tools at your disposal, you can roll

+Sharp to work out how. On a 10+ you can pulverize it, no

trouble. On a 7-9 it will either take a long time, or you can't

break it all down – your choice. On a miss, you hurt yourself

getting it done, or get trapped in a bad spot.

look, pick one from each list:

•

Man, woman.

Horrific scars, masses of scars, huge scars, burn scars,

talon scars, bite scars, ritual scars, torture scars.

Street wear, tactical wear, military wear, bike leathers,

thug in a suit, utility wear, jeans and t-shirt, tracksuit.

Ratings

Pick one line, then mark each rating on the right



Charm-1, Cool+1, Sharp+1, Tough+2, Weird=0



Charm+1, Cool+1, Sharp=0, Tough+2, Weird-1





Charm+1, Cool=0, Sharp+1, Tough+2, Weird-1



Charm-1, Cool+1, Sharp=0, Tough+2, Weird+1

Moves

You get all the basic moves, and three Hard Case moves.

You get this one:



Unstoppable

: When you spend Luck to avoid harm you

are about to suffer, additionally remove all harm you had

already suffered. Once per mystery when you are about to

suffer 2-harm or more, change it to just 1-harm.

Then pick two of these:



FINISH HIM!:

Whenever you inflict an injury of 3-harm

or more, you may immediately follow up with another

attack. Roll +Tough. On a 10+, double the harm you cause. On

a 7-9, you inflict 1-harm extra. On a miss, you leave yourself

open and vulnerable.



Weapon Master:

When you take possession of a new

weapon, you may change or remove one tag when you are

using it (e.g. “heavy” becomes “ignores-armour”, or

“unreliable” is removed). The changed tag only applies for

you. When you get this move, apply it to all your current

weapons.



Aim For The Weak Spot:

Your unarmed and hand

weapon attacks all get the ignore-armour tag.

Gear

Hard Case weapons, pick one:

Normal weapons, pick two:



Crowbar (2-harm hand messy)



Chainsaw (3-harm hand messy unreliable loud heavy)



Automatic shotgun (3-harm close loud reload auto)



Huge fucking knife (2-harm hand messy)









Big knife (1-harm hand)



Introductions

When you get here, wait for everyone to catch up so you can do your introductions together.

Go around the group. On your turn, introduce your Hard Case by name and look, and tell the group what they know about

you.

History

Go around the group again. When it's your turn, pick one for each of the other hunters:

Hunter

History

They're blood kin – a sibling (usually younger) or parent. Ask them how you fit into

the family.

You beat the tar out of them one time. Ask them why. Then tell them why you work

together now.

They saw you lose control one time and go on a rampage. Tell them what triggered

it, then ask them what you did.

You respect each other as comrades-in-arms: the two toughest bastards in this

outfit.

You respect their brains – someone with that many ideas, you want them on your

side.

Friends from your time as a soldier/cop/mob enforcer/fight club/etc. Decide

between you exactly where you became friends.

Romantically involved or you have an unrequited crush on them. Ask them which it

is.

You would have gone to Jesus this one time, but they patched you up in time to

keep you alive.

Notes

Luck

You can mark off a Luck box to

either

change a roll you just made to a 12, as if you had rolled that;

change a wound you

have just taken to count as just 0-harm. If your Luck boxes all get filled, you've run out of good luck.

Gaining a team of Monster Hunters under your command

If you get command of a team, you get a whole team of people to help you out. A team is made up of several people (usually

2-6 of them).

You might already know the team members, or they might be new to the game.

The team gets one of the types listed below. The motivation tells the Keeper how they should act.

For a team, when working as a team they will act in accordance with the motivation, but members might have their own

individual motivations when on their own time.

Team types:

• Ally: subordinate (motivation: to follow your exact instructions)

• Ally: lieutenant (motivation: to execute the spirit of your instructions)

• Ally: friend (motivation: to provide emotional support)

• Ally: bodyguard (motivation: to intercept danger)

• Ally: confidante (motivation: to give you advice and perspective)

• Ally: backup (motivation: to stand with you)

If your team members don't have names yet, pick them now. Decide any special skills they bring.
