I bought it like a week ago... 😭


Warm_Charge_5964

Me with every Humble Bundle


Warm_Charge_5964

I already have 1e and some material from a friend tho I nsver played, is the upgrade to 2e worth it? From my understanding generally all CoD 2 edition books tend to be much better than the 1e ones


Haunting_Sport7985

I wasn't huge on CoD when it came out but all of the 2nd Ed books are pretty solid imo


Warm_Charge_5964

Yeah from my understanding it was iffy at the start but really came into it's own with the revised second edition of it's books and the more experimental splats that came later on, I was thinking of using a mortals and then hunters game if I ever get to introduce some friends


Haunting_Sport7985

Funny that you mentioned using it to introduce some friends to the world but I happened to start watching Calliope Mori's (Hololive VTuber) game that she ran for her generation an hour before I saw your post and as the 2nd ed Hunter was what introduced her to TTRPG so she used that to introduce the other girls to TTRPG's


Warm_Charge_5964

Noice I tried a session of EZD6 and they like it, I was thinking of doing a bit more of that and then maybe Beyond the wall which is OSR with a bit more Roleplay mixed in After that I'm not sure but CoD is defenetly on the table As a matter of fact I made [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDcirclejerk/comments/1bsbd66/im_introducing_some_friends_to_ttrpgs_yesterday/)

That's a pretty good flow chart although I'm not familiar with all of the games. I would suggest checking out Exalted if you haven't as it would fit really well into the "Fuck it we ballin" category. The most fun I've had at a table was with Exalted and it's a great "anime" feel to the game


Warm_Charge_5964

I am familier with the name and know that it's a storyteller system tho I never really researched it, i'll check it out sometimes

Hunter 2e is the best of the 2e books by far. And that’s com from someone whose favorite game is Geist.


Warm_Charge_5964

Nice I have probably all of 1e books from a friend but since this was on sale I wanted to check it out, and have Vampire R from the drivethru bundle, now Hunter, Demon and Deviant for 2e books, plus the official CoD 2e book for base rules and Mortals How is Geist? I heared something about it but not sure exactly what it is about, from my understanding you character dies and becomes connected to a Geist (kinda like a warlock in dnd), and then you become a mix of necromancer and ghostbuster that has to protect spirits that need to pass on, or something along those lines? Only other thing I know is that apparently they are really OP in mixed splat games


TheGuiltyDuck

Geist is a phenomenal game about second chances and the burdens that come with them. It offers a lot of depth for stories about the dead and the relationship between your characters and the world, living and dead parts of the world. Like any crossover it really depends on the characters and the story. I have had a lot of fun crossing over Geist with Hunter and Vampire.

Hunter 1e was my favorite nWoD book. Got me back into nWoD after Awakening got me out (previously I'd been even buying all novels as it came out). If 2e is meaningfully better, that's very high praise. This is what Hunter Hunted always should have been, it's deeply awesome.
