Hunt: Showdown

Position: Narrative Designer

The year is 1895, and you are a Hunter tasked with eliminating the savage, nightmarish monsters that have infested the Louisiana Bayou. Play alone or in teams of two or three, as you search for clues to help you track your target and compete against other Hunters who are after the same reward. Kill and banish your target, collect the bounty, and then get ready for the showdown; once the bounty is in your hands every other Hunter on the map will be after your prize. Show no mercy as you fight through a dark, ruthless world with brutal, period-inspired weapons, as you level up, unlock gear, and collect experience and gold for your Bloodline.

Fight. Item. Run.

Position: Story Lead

Fight Item Run is a Powered by the Apocalypse game that smashes action-packed combat and magic together with dynamic character and relationship exploration. The dungeon is the structure and sole setting, though “dungeon” can be interpreted as anything from cave systems to cloud cities. The party begins in a chamber and there are monsters; once they’ve defeated the monsters, they proceed to the next chamber where there are more monsters. Chambers also have items, treasures, puzzles, and mysteries. When the party has collected the adequate gear to advance to the next level of the dungeon, they come to the chamber with the passage down (or up for a tower or with a portal to some nonlinear other realm) to advance further.
