Giving In To, Then Defeating, Player's Expectations - pMy name is Joanna Winters; this is the first of a number of articles that will take my real-life experiences and tweak them for your tabletop sessions.

Hunter: The Vigil - pIn a href=http://www.gamegrene.com/node/934my previous article here at Gamegrene/a, I talked about my experiences with bHunter: The Reckoning/b, particularly in light of the fact that my unconditional love for H:tR was not shared by the vast majority of gamers.
