Ok so I figured I might as well make a post for my new AW hack in progress. Dark Streets. An urban fantasy hack for re-creating stories like Angel, The Dresden Files and Buffy.
I just finished re-doing the basic moves and introducing the Debt and Trust mechanics. I think it’s coming together really nicely but I need feedback from other eyes to help me make it even better. Also, and I’m just reaching here, some playtesters. 🙂
Thanks for your time, it’s totally appreciated.
Also, ignore any text you find in the file in Red or Blue, these are areas that need to be written yet or changed. Thanks!!!
Also, I have a community started for the game as well. Danke!

How does this hack compare to Monsterhearts? I’m playing in a MH season now and it does a great job of capturing the feel of Angel/Buffy.
It has similarities/inspirations in MH, no doubt. Joe’s game is just too good not to draw inspiration from. Dark Streets is more focused on the idea of being adults in an urban environment fighting supernatural threats and trying desperately to keep their humanity. It’s less drama and more action than MH, in my opinion. But this is all theory at this point, will need to wait and see how it all plays out in reality.
Glad to hear it Pavel. Will def keep you informed!

Updated the document to include a few new playbooks including The Expert, The Hunter, and The Tainted. Check it out, I’d love to hear some feedback.
Excited to see this as I really wanted to like MH, but it was too much drama incorporated.
How have play test been going?
None yet, but we’re solving that problem shortly, first playtest session tonight!
Over the computer or in person?
If you run another game and it happens to be over skype or something, please let me know.
My only complaint over a quick read is how the Vamp is portrayed, as just a feral hunter, when I think another playbook as a Hedonist Aristocrat would be quite nice.
