Whenerver I hear that title, I think of Primeval... I might try such a campaign with it, if it's supported.

We're about two posts away from having 666 replies . . . on the day of the Supermoon, no less. Hopefully RPK will deliver us a new hint/info/awesomness or more fully explain the present he did leave us last?
*Fingers crossed.

Re: GURPS Monster Hunters: what will you do with it?
I've added Harry Dresden to the roster. Excellent suggestion.

Re: GURPS Monster Hunters: what will you do with it?
Of course, there are problems with him and the White Council he reports to existing in the same world as a surviving Willow, considering how many of the Laws of Magic she's broken... but no more so than the inconsistencies between the vampires Buffy and Blade fight, and Angel is, I suppose.

Source is too comedic for what I have in mind.

For personal use what I'm planning is Monster Hunters 2060 (working title). It would use GURPS Cyberworld as the base setting but would have Night City from RT Games Cyberpunk 2020 as the main campaign city. Night City renamed as Knight City and created by Knight Industries (from Knight Rider TV series). The Robocop program created by OCP (from Robocop movies) has become operational with a small number of robocops on duty in Knight City after seeing success on a few cities already -- including New Detriot. I'll borrow from GURPS Cyberpunk, Bio-Tech (with emphasis on cyberware but with some genetic engineering and soft-tissue tech). Cyberware gained acceptance and funding quicker and is more advanced than genetech. Drop in the fantastic and horror elements incorporating ideas from various shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Supernatural, The Dresden Files, Night Stalker, Charmed, and Forever Knight. Many of these have conflicts so I'll pick and choose as I please. For instance the Watcher Council will handle training and managing Slayers (one in each region rather than ONE in each generation) and watching immortals. The MIB exist and would be taken from GURPS Black Ops - greatly toned down and somewhat decimated in recent years, as well as from Conspiracy X (two sometimes competing organizations). Wolfram and Hart from Angel would be replaced by Arasaka as the main villian organization (the created a program called Soulkiller, they really need to be a demonic organization). It would have ties to the cabal and most likely be run by a powerful demon or vampire. I would dump 90% of the gangs listed in the Night City Sourcebook and replace or transform the rest. For instance, Fangs of Justice would be mostly a human gang of altered vampire posers. But a few members really are vampires. The Golden Knights are actually a small gang of monster hunters though they also deal with mundane issues from time to time. The White Council may exist, but it certainly wouldn't be at all limited to the depiction from the Dresden Files. It would more than likely be influenced by my own campaigns needs and sources I like such as Angel/Buffy and Charmed (I'm not a big follower of Charmed but I've caught a few episodes).
