Hunters, Inc.
A downloadable hack
Last Pine is not like other places. Sure, it may seem like just another small town, but there are all kinds of weird things going on that the adults never seem to notice. You try to tell your parents and they just brush you off. Teachers? Same thing. It’s goofed up. So you and your friends have decided that if the adults won’t do anything about it, you will. You’re here to investigate all the weird things happening and, if you can, put a stop to them.
What is This?
A lightweight version of Bump in the Dark based on Slugblaster Turbo X by Mikey Hamm. Designed for one-shot and short series play in the style of Scooby-Doo (particularly the 2010 series Mystery, Incorporated), Gravity Falls, Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, Paper Girls, or maybe even Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The game focuses on kids and teens investigating supernatural mysteries around the town of Last Pine, Ontonagon. Perfect for convention play or as a lead-in to a full campaign.
Inside, You'll Find:
- All you need to run and play the game contained on only three pages
- Easy but flexible rules for creating your own monster hunting teen
- Scene prompts to provide fitting epilogues or dramatic downtimes
- A no-prep starting scenario to run or reskin

This is cool, thank you!
I love the idea that a monster is a mystery till the very end of the game - especially for the GM themselves.
Thanks for reading it! I play with that same idea in my game Bump in the Dark, and it's very much inspired by things like Brindlewood Bay and Apocalypse Keys and how they approach mysteries.
