Onyx Path Publishing Revives a Fan Favorite with Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition

February 6, 2020 — Rich Thomas, founder and Creative Director of Onyx Path Publishing, announced today that the Kickstarter to fund a prestige edition of Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition core rulebook has recently launched. This new edition of Hunter: The Vigil was developed by veteran Monica Valentinelli.

“Hunter: The Vigil has always been a fan favorite because it’s a modern horror game that gives everyday people the chance to be heroes,” says Monica Valentinelli, the Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition developer. “In Second Edition, there are more monsters than ever before. You are given more tools to investigate the strange and unexplained while reinforcing your connections to fellow hunters and your community. Hunter isn’t just about fighting bloodsuckers or expelling ghosts from a haunted house–it’s about the hard choices you make from night to night to keep yourself, your cellmates, and your loved ones safe while recognizing that hunter society is not a utopia or a monolith.”

Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition is a modern horror game for players committed to hunting the supernatural. Three playing styles are included in this standalone rulebook: cells for tier one gameplay, compacts for tier two, and conspiracies for tier three.

In addition to seven compacts and seven conspiracies included in this new edition, highlights include:

– Storyteller support that includes a sample setting and chronicle-rich tool kit called The Slasher Chronicle inspired by the slasher film genre.

– Expanded lore and support to play a hunter at the tier you prefer. Includes two new compacts (SWORN, Nine Stars) and a new conspiracy called the Council of Bones.

– A guide to the strange and unexplained lurking in different environments and how to create your own. Includes cryptids like the black dog, ghosts like the haunted hitchhiker, and new monsters inspired by urban legends.

– Setting rules for three types of mysterious places to add locations hunters can explore, investigate, and cleanse of their supernatural taint.

– Tools to ground hunters in their everyday lives and help mitigate the horrors of the Vigil.

– Rules to facilitate different playing styles for investigation, social engineering, and more!

The manuscript for Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition has been completed, and chapters will be released during the Kickstarter to backers. Delivery is planned for February 2022 to account for stretch goals and printing of this supplement. Standard eBook and Hardcover editions will be released in game stores and online following fulfillment of the Kickstarter.
