A new Hunter 2e is really needed because it is the laziest port. (Many Hunter powers involve Morality, which no longer exists, and Integrity, the replacement, works differently.)

Fortunately, the Beast kickstarter indicates that one is in the works.

There's only one thing in the mountains that leaves a track like this. The creature of legend that roams the Timberline. My people named him Sasquatch. You call him... Bigfoot.
I kept it when I ran it but I also made the vampires in question the truth behind the Big Lie of Division 6: The vampires are the original Culper Ring, now with fangs; the dude steering Division 6 knew just enough about what was going on there to steal the idea. So they are super-patriotic revolutionary war-era vampires. Like a bunch of blood drinking Ichabods from Sleepy Hollow.

I'd be inclined to make any vampires hopped-up middle management. They think they're the kings of the hill, but the real driving force is using them to provide the rest of VALKYRIE's budget and as an (ahem) bloodhound for sniffing out the kind of supernatural activity that the managers think is a threat to them. If one of them begins to catch wise? Well, there's always that facility under Arizona. Given vampiric paranoia and egotism, it won't be impossible to net another one to pick up the reins.

Or for that matter, VALKYRIE could be funded by trumped up (or fake) Proceeds from Drugs charges. Vampire? No, this guy was a meth kingpin. That's why they're seizing his assets and funneling them to the black accounts. Of course, that puts uncomfortable pressure on the Task Force to make strikes more often, more cheaply, and against targets that are increasingly likely to have spent large amounts on defense...

White Wolf was really starting to crap out at the start of the decade- between the height of the recession, the layoffs, and the eventual birth of Onyx Path, they produced their last physical books and the writing either became mediocre or outright stupid in some cases, like this or that one creepy as hell chapter in the Werewolf Chronicler's Guide.

Besides, the idea of "You are secretly run by teh BAD GUYS O NOEZ!!1!" is so loving cliche and overplayed it's not fun to play with. Twists like "They're monsters, but still patriots" are much more palatable.

That it did. The issue with the chapter in question wasn't so much the "No werewolf sex taboo" but the way it was written. I can't describe how skincrawly it was, like the author was trying to convince you to have sex in a fursuit.

EDIT: ^^^^^ No, but it came pretty close to resurrecting the Animal Magnetism rules from Apocalypse.

My take on it in the TFV campaign I run is that VALKYRIE was founded by normal human beings and still mostly staffed by it, but the Director is a Promethean who completed her Pilgrimage and retained her memories, and has parlayed that into getting VALKYRIE substantial financial, intel, and R&D backing from other supernaturals who are also patriotic, tax-paying American citizens, mostly changelings, sin-eaters, and werewolves who explicitly don't take part in field operations. TFV's overall line in my campaign is that law-abiding citizens who simply happen to be supernatural should be treated and protected like any other, and having supernatural powers does not confer immunity to the law. Including tax evasion. Looking at you, vampires. RICO is a bitch. :v:

The Arizona supernatural Gitmo is in part for supernaturals who have done various horrible things that there aren't laws for, like reanimating the dead as zombies and tearing holes in reality. TFV has counterparts in the FBI, NSA, and DoJ in my campaign.

They're the FBI's supernatural division and one of the three main agencies in the US that deal with the supernatural - mostly, they're the ones who actually arrest, try, and imprison supernaturals that Valkyrie takes alive. Valkyrie is formally part of the CIA in my campaign and is the most action-oriented of the three, and the NSA has Project Looking Glass, which is basically a more organized, militaristic Network Zero that wiretaps mages and conducts drone surveillance of werewolf packs.

My players have also run into counterpart organizations from other countries, including the UK's MI Null, China's Ministry of Celestial Security, and the Special Guards Division of the Russian Spetznaz.

Sure, but the other Adepts keep getting confused and offering them drugs.

I don't like Project Valkyrie being controlled by vamps, but I love that the Malleus is lead by a ghoul since it ties in so well with the whole Catholic sin/blood/redemption thing.

The Luciferge sound like they should be their own line, like Demons. It's like a Hunter cell has Fox Mulder, Sam Winchester, the priest from The Exorcist, Anonymous... and Ghost Rider.

Not officially (but fans loooove to make new Avatars and adepts so you never know what's out there), but in the Postmodern Magick sourcebook there are...I guess you could think of them as "lesser adepts" called Mageekians (because UA has no problems swinging from brutal and hosed up to really bad wordplay) who can focus on just about anything.

Mageekians basically have the adept's obsession but lack a powerful paradox to back up their obsession. Instead their paradox is personal (a dog-lover who is allergic to dogs for instance) and they're limited to minor, magickal effects, usually produced unconsciously at random.

Exactly why the New Inquisition is so powerful in UA. It's funded by a billionare who is aware of magick but doesn't use it himself. Instead he uses his resources to find some of the more reliable adepts and avatars and provides them the funding they need to get more powerful and in exchange he can direct where that power gets used.

For example, one of his top agents is a plutomancer who he pays in non-cash goods. Instead of giving her cash he buys her all the things that she can't (since it would break taboo) so she gets the fancy cars, the big house, etc. so long as she continues helping him out. He'd pay her cash directly to help her charge but that would violate the plutomancer charging code as well, so instead he provides her with "stock tips" (i.e. insider trading) which she can then use to rake in cash and charges.

There's a really good opening fiction about that character in I think Postmodern Magick that shows just how much an adept will sacrifice for a shot at a Major charge- in her case a winning lottery ticket.

I feel like every UA party needs to have a non-Adept with a normal job just so they can get basic things done. Not a boring job - cops, lawyers, detectives and doctors are good candidates - but somebody who can drive around and talk to normal people and pay for things.
In higher powered games I guess they eventually turn into Avatars.

Agent Johanna slammed another clip of wooden rounds into her assault rifle. The bloodsucker's office was riddled with splinters and holes. Agent Samson was doing his best with the sniper rifle; his warning shots were keeping the ghouls from approaching her position. Agent Weiss was pulling her own weight protecting Samson.

The bloodsucker hid behind the desk in his office. Finding out that vampires were helping run VALKYRIE was stunning, but not shocking. What was shocking was the positions the vampires were in. This particular bastard was the assistant to the head of the Department of Natural Resources in Iowa. Every single national park was under the vampire's control and it made her stomach turn.

"What's your game?!" she roared as she fired a few blind shots to keep him down. He had kept himself well-armed in case of a confrontation and cracking the defenses was going to be hard.

The vampire chuckled. "What isn't, Agent? We've done so much for our country."

"Why the Middle East? Why the War on Terror? What's so drat important about that desert?" She braced herself and rolled to closer cover, positioning herself behind an ornate wood column.

"Do you know what happens to a vampire in the sun, Agent? Of course you do. I've seen some of your toys. Tell me, what does a desert have." The vampire loosed a few shots at her roll but missed. He cursed and reloaded.

"Sand, wind and heat."

"EXACTLY!" The vampire laughed. It was a dry, wheezy thing. "I hate the desert, Agent. It's hot and dry and it's too drat bright. It could kill me and I don't trust the desert. I hate all deserts."

"So why send our men there, why clear the desert, dig up the land, drop those capsules?"

"For our plan, Agent. For our...masterstroke. Soon, there will be no more deserts. We've been working on it for years and the time is right for our operation to come to fruition!"

"America has deserts, you blood-sucking idiot."

He grinned madly, his teeth long and keen. "Not for long it won't! Terraforming, Agent! Imagine deserts being transformed into lush prairies with groves of fruit trees, long strips of shade, houses and farms and arable land, people and business! God bless America, Agent, we're helping her bloom and prosper!"

"What the hell is he talking about?" buzzed Samson in Johanna's ear. Johanna glanced past the column and lowered her gun.

"Environmental efforts? Are you making GBS threads me?"

"On the contrary. I am deadly serious."

The real story, to put bluntly, is that few Palladium fans read their books cover to cover. There are classes like the dysasha that you'd never notice on a casual glance-through, since it's buried in a villain NPCs' statblock. Cosmo Knights are presented in an in-your-face fashion and the book can't shut up about how badass they are, so of course they get a rep. But, of course, the best way to break a game is to find something the designer just didn't think through at all. Funny enough, I have just one of those ill-designed classes coming up in my next review. That's not to say the Cosmo Knight isn't a powerful class, it's pretty drat powerful if they get a chance to climb through the levels and start hitting 100-200 damage a blast, but at 1st level they're not too overwhelming other than their flight speed, which is a great way to break plot points. Unless you set all your adventures in the Yucatan, anyway.

So the one useful ability they start out with can be either game breaking or completely useless if the whole adventure is set in a single location or the party has access to faster ships? Oh well, that's better than having a game-breaking ability that works all the time.
