Review The Hunter’s Armory

Series in General:

This series covers several kinds of weaponry players and storytellers might use in an WoD gameline. Weapon profiles include a picture, a brief description of the weapons and all the relevant data for use in game (difficulty, damage, range, concealment, weight, lenght, special rules and maneuvers and resources background costs). In general a great line to expand combat options in any chronicle. V5 compatibility. The developers note that the information presented in the series is designed to work in all editions of Vampire. But one might need to check the rules in V5 to assign the correct damage for the weapons in that ruleset.

Vol. 1 This First book in the series covers several options for revolvers,pistols and SMGs found in a modern chronicle. The weapon profiles are well written and can be used as a basis to adapt several firearms and manufacturers. The only missing thing in this volume is a chart that summarizes weapon info.

Vol.2 The Second book in the series covers modern weaponry with focus in SMGs, Rifles and Shotguns. Weapon profiles include a picture, a brief description of the weapons and all the relevant data for use in game (difficulty, damage, range, concealment, weight, lenght, special rules and maneuvers and resources background costs). Some of the weapons might be restricted for players but it’s still a very useful sourcebook.

Vol.3 The Third book in the armory series covers several “common” melee weapons and bows and crossbows. Weapon profiles include a picture, a brief description of the weapons and all the relevant data for use in game (difficulty, damage, range, concealment, weight, lenght, special rules and maneuvers and resources background costs). This book alongside the two previous volumes covers most of the options one might need in a chronicle set in a modern setting.

Vol.4 The Fourth book in this series covers several japanese weapons and the special maneuvers associated with them. Weapon profiles include a picture, a brief description of the weapons and all the relevant data for use in game (difficulty, damage, range, concealment, weight, lenght, special rules and maneuvers and resources background costs). In our opinion the most niche book in the series since it only covers weapons from one country.

Vol.5 This volume covers firearms, artillery and a couple melee weapons one might find in a Victorian Era setting or in the hands of elder vampires in a modern chronicle. Weapon profiles include a picture, a brief description of the weapons and all the relevant data for use in game (difficulty, damage, range, concealment, weight, lenght, special rules and maneuvers and resources background costs).

Vol. 6 The sixth volume in this series covers a variety of firearms for use in a Chronicle set in the Wild West or in the hands of elder vampires in a modern chronicle. Weapon profiles include a picture, a brief description of the weapons and all the relevant data for use in game (difficulty, damage, range, concealment, weight, lenght, special rules and maneuvers and resources background costs).

The Tabletop Gaming Club recommends this series to all fans of the world of darkness.

This book is a solid example of books that contain extra content to create a more immersive game. Of course this book is wonderfully laid out (especially after the latest free update). I will note that its not for all games, if a ST feels the game could be bogged down by too many choices this could perhaps prove to be an issue versus a blessing. I personally enjoy the expansion on weapon based combat.

This is an excellent resource that will no doubt provide plenty of enjoyment for me and my RP group. It provides concise, informative information and is presented in a very pleasing and clear manner, which I hope will be carried through to the second and third volumes. If you are looking to add some realism and interest to the armaments in your WoD chronicles this is a modern and beautiful way to access that information.

I think this might become a must have series. The only problem I can think of is I think the author would get better use out of using dots (either reflecting Resources/Contacts to obtain) instead of MSRP. It is a nitpick, and one that is easy to overlook. I learned a few things about guns, and I have effectively owned two versions of this book for different systems. The author strove for updated information and accuracy, and it really shows.

Thanks very much for the review! I actually really liked your suggestion, and in the third volume of the series I adopted the dot system to represent the amount of resources in place of the MSRP. Thanks for the support and good game!
