Get Introduced To The Chronicles Of Darkness By The Hunger Within
January 12, 2019 by brennon
Darker Days Radio's Chris Handley has released a new scenario to the Storyteller's Vault called The Hunger Within which introduces players to the Chronicles Of Darkness but is equally at home as part of an established story too.
The Hunger Within is for three to four players and follows them as they learn of the disappearance of a sibling in the quaint English town of King's Well.
"The Hunger Within taps into the themes of folk horror. The players take the role of visitors to the town, with one searching for the missing sibling. The town is celebrating its harvest festival, and the carnival is in town too. Many legends and myths are associated with the town, and do any of them pertain to the disappearance, or is something else, altogether more sinister happening."
Hearing Chris Handley take players through both Vampire and Warhammer Fantasy scenarios already on his podcast I can safely say that this chap can write a good story, so this might be worth picking up if you want to explore this dark role-playing game on the tabletop.
Give it a look and if you do play it make sure to let us know what you think!

Sounds interesting as a scenario for basic people characters though I think it might be a spin of a smaller version of Midnight Circus to be less likely of being OP. Then again this is WoD so that goes out the window in order to show how out of one’s depth the PCs might be.
Indeed this scenario is very much aimed at human/mortal characters, using the 2nd edition of Chronicles of Darkness. Is it like Midnight Circus…. hmmm, a bit, but then also a healthy dose of the Wicker Man too. It is very much a jumping off point for larger chronicles with mortal characters who may well become hunters themselves, or even mages.
