The Other Side [ EDIT ]

This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.

"Okay, here's the first and most important thing you have to understand. The supernatural isn't cool. It isn't hot witches and sexy vampires. It isn't silver bullets and salt rings. And there sure as hell ain't any magical books with all the answers in the library of your local high school. The supernatural isn't a neutral force either. It can't be used for good or evil. It ain't really a force at all. The supernatural is a parasite or a corruption, a disease or a contagion that bleeds into our world from somewhere beyond. Everyone it touches becomes infected. Everyone. And then they have to be stopped. They have to be put to rest before that contagion can spread. The supernatural is an infection, and we are the doctors who amputate. We almost never save anyone. Our stories never have a happy ending. They don't end with confetti, and they don't end with a medal. They usually end with you in an alley using the business end of a claw hammer on some poor bastard who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Don't give me that look. Sit down. You aren't going anywhere. There's nowhere for you to go. You see, it's already too late for you. You aren't corrupted yet, but the other side has your scent. They're coming for you just like they're coming for us. We fight to save the world and ourselves. We fight because we have to. Welcome aboard."

The other Side is a horrific Fate Core game of supernatural hunters. This game will be one part Frailty, one part Delta Green, and one part bottom tier Hunter: the Vigil. Expect lots of collateral damage, body horror, blood and guts, and good old fashioned murder. If you'll do your best to play along, I'll do my best to horrify you as much as possible. I expect this to be a one-shot. I want to meet some new people, try out the forums here, and get blood all over the place.

Character Generation Info

We'll be using vanilla Fate Core to play, but most supernatural creatures will bypass Stress entirely and just inflict Conditions. I'm looking for ordinary people turned monster hunters as characters. At least one of your aspects should be something like "Garbage Man Turned Monster Hunter" or "Alcoholic Ex-Cop Turned Monster Hunter." You get the idea. We'll use standard starting Refresh, no Extras, and I'll have to approve all Stunts (but I'm open to most anything). When we start you all will have hunted together before, and I will be running a little short version of the Phase Trio (preferably on Discord) to get at least some of the characters connected beyond just a few ideas. Also, if you want an NPC who will be a part of your/the story, we'll probably have some civilian hangers-on as well.
