speaking of Hunter the Reckoning, developer has an interesting take
which I think is probably on the money
honestly, what the fuck is the cover art for the new Reckoning book?
Did the WoD guys just use a stock image?
Overall
I don’t know, some stuff in the Reckoning preview I like, and some stuff that I really do not; I think greatest weakness though is...why would I give Vigil up for this? It doesn’t really provide an answer

Humanity clings to a comfortable illusion that the world belongs to mankind, that they lead lives of free-willed individuality, completely unaware that they occupy a world of grim mysteries inhabited by monsters. Those savvy to the secrets of the World of Darkness know the truth, however: that timeless blood-drinkers, ravening shapeshifters, restless ghosts, and even more harrowing things haunt the night. Hunters are among those who have seen past the veil of secrecy and know the world for what it is — a bauble in the claws of monsters. Hunters fight back against the threat because they have glimpsed the truth, and have resolved to do something about it.

Not at all a fan of this, a couple of points:
-As your hunter character advances in a game are we suggesting that they wont become more ‘ethically compromised’ as the hunt takes it toll, this seems like a very naïve views of what low-level hunter games are like
-Love to meet a cell of reckoning hunters who are better at hunting down leeches than the Society of St. Leopold is, why nerf org hunters in the game mechanics if in the lore the Second Inquisition have the leeches on the ropes?
-In WoD creating such a stark divide between cells and compacts/conspiracies seems a little odd, not like you can’t join and leave the Camarilla without stopping being a vampire. Movement between organisations isn’t common in Vigil but it is certainly not unheard of, this divide seems like a hangup from the original Reckoning; but without the magical powers to justify it
well that was fast
