Singular vampires are so many terrible things.

Why should it be any different when many vampires get together? It isn't. In fact, it's exponentially worse. and nbsp;Kindred are designed to be solitary predators.

Why they gather in such large groups is a complicated issue. Are they lonely? Do they need to keep enemies within arms' reach? Do they need to understand the other creatures that and nbsp;inhabit their homes? Do they believe in safety in numbers?

This book specifically addresses how to build an interaction. It's how to host a party, how to make a location and how to make a social structure.

What would I be, if God wanted me to be something different? I would be whatever God saw fit to make me.

I would be a crow picking at the bones of the dead. I would be a worm nestled in the heart of my enemies.

I would be a faceless angel. I would be a rabid wolf. I would be a broken mirror.

But make no mistake, my children.

Whatever God sees fit for me, one thing will never change. I will always be a monster.

Reality is glass, is gingerbread and sugar, is chalk. We break pieces away. We take pieces apart. We reassemble them to suit ourselves. The seams are there for those with the eyes to see. The flaws are there for those with the hands to split them. The configurations are born from those with the minds and wills to create them. This is how it has always been. This is how it will aways be.

Gethamane, a city buried under stone and ice, has been the target of evil entities for centuries. Ancient beings lie entombed in the deepest recesses of its tunnels, marauding predators claim the flesh of anyone foolish enough to seek the treasures below, the gods spread their centuries-fostered insanity, and now even Deathlords seek to control this refuge of civilization in the vastness of the North. The people of Gethamane keep to themselves, fearing outsiders only slightly less than they fear the monsters that live in the ancient hollows beneath them.

Yet, this frozen region holds not only dangerous monsters, but also great treasure. Some secrets will lie buried for ages, but one treasure, a crown capable of ruling nations, is about to be uncovered. Will it fall into the hands of Solar Exalts or become the property of the many evils that plague the city under the mountain?

Progenitor and nbsp;is a massive and nbsp;Wild Talents and nbsp;setting sourcebook from Arc Dream Publishing. Nearly 400 pages long, it's written by Greg Stolze, creator of the One-Roll Engine, co-author of and nbsp;Wild Talents, and nbsp;Godlike, and nbsp;and and nbsp;Unknown Armies, and nbsp;and author of and nbsp;Reign: A Game of Lords and Leaders.

Progenitor and nbsp;is a superhero setting about big ideas. A single woman gains inconceivable power then unwittingly passes it on to a handful of people. They pass it along to others in turn, and so on, and soon thousands of men and women around the world share that strange power in different forms.

Some of them use their powers for their own personal gain or gratification. Others try to help those around them. Others change the world itself.

What will your characters do with that kind of power?

and nbsp;

and nbsp;

Progenitor and nbsp;features a deep alternate history, exploring the shape of the world as we knew it and the changes that are wrought by metahumans year by year.

Dozens of characters described in great detail, plus the world-spanning movements and new nations that they establish.

Detailed rules allow you to change history as you go, guided by four broad metrics: Suspicion, Technology, Economy and Warfare. Which metrics are most dominant set the tone for international culture. A "one roll" chart generates major developments year by year that can be built into new scenarios and entire campaigns.

Other rules describe gadgeteers' effects on society according to the "metrics" of social change.

There are rules for "syntergenics," memes crafted by activists with superhuman intelligence to affect human behavior with an image and change the world with an idea.

There is endless room for player characters to change the world around them using the new rules, to react to changes worked by rivals and enemies, or to simply try to carry out their lives as the pressures around them build.

Living With The Vigil

For many hunters carrying the Vigil, the hunt is only one part of their lives. Many belong to hunter organizations-the more localized compacts, or the globe-spanning conspiracies.

Joining such a group comes with varying advantages-safety in numbers, a paycheck, access to unique weapons and critical information, and camaraderie.
