Demon Hunters: A Comedy of Terrors

From publisher blurb:

Demon Hunters: A Comedy of Terrors is a roleplaying game that blends comedy and action-horror in a modern day world where agents of a mysterious Brotherhood confront supernatural threats from folklore and myth with their own extraordinary talents.

The game uses standard polyhedral dice and a variation of the popular Fate Accelerated and Fate Core game rules. Players can get set up quickly and GMs can make use of story-generating charts and tables to create scenarios both scary and side-splittingly funny.

Vampires infesting the mayoral office. Lycanthropes prowling the suburbs. Another kraken making its way upstate along the river. Crazed cultists masquerading as door­to­door religious nuts. Every one of them edging the world one more step toward the next demonic apocalypse.

In your line of work, that’s called Tuesday.

In Demon Hunters: A Comedy of Terrors, you play the titular Demon Hunters, who are members of an ancient Brotherhood tasked with defending the world from the forces of darkness. Using magical spells, huge guns, mad science, and ninja skills, you and the others in your Brotherhood chapter respond to threats straight out of myths and legend, occasionally screwing up big time.

When creating a character, you decide what approaches to fighting bad guys are your strongest, and which are your weakest. You rank your expertise in various fields of Brotherhood lore and training, including the mystic arts, covert operations, or combat and tactics. Finally, you select a set of character­defining aspects and stunts that give you the edge you need in kicking demon butt.

Lock and load, baby.
