Re: GURPS Monster Hunters: what will you do with it?
Monsters. Plural. Plus his creation wasn't really a monster by the definitions in MH1 -- he didn't threaten humanity.

Re: GURPS Monster Hunters: what will you do with it?
Shelley is probably the great aunt of the genre, though and she did basically invent mad science. Dracula is probably the first successful absolutely in-genre novel though, I'd think. Helsing and his crew are the archetypal Monster Hunters.

Heh, and if y'all get these right, I'll open up the Motivational Lenses for guessing. After all, Angel and Oz might both be "good-guy monsters," but they're very different characters. Lenses help with that bit . . .

Re: GURPS Monster Hunters: what will you do with it?
1. Commando
2. Devout 3. Freak 4. Monster 5. Psi 6. Sage 7. Sleuth 8. Scientist or Techie 9. Slayer or Warrior 10. Witch I don't like Warrior or Witch. Slayer would be much better instead of Warrior, but I can't think of anything that'd fit between Scientist and Sage. Scout would work, except that stupid O is later in the alphabet than I. |

On Angel: Angel = 4 Cordelia = 5 Wesley = 6 Gunn = 9 Fred = 8 Conner = 9 (or 4) Lorn (AKA "The Host") is 4 with shades of 5. In Dracula (the novel) Mina = 5 (she gains a psychic connection to dracula after being drinking his blood) Van Helsing = 6 with shades of 2 Dr. Seward = 8 Quincy P. Morris = 1 with shades of 9 Arthur and Jonathan= 1 and 9 also, but less badass than Quincy, so maybe just sidekicks.

Re: GURPS Monster Hunters: what will you do with it?
The Hellboy universe (collectively) is definitely in the right genre, and definitely has investigators, monsters, psis, shooters, wizards, and more on the good guys' side.

Re: GURPS Monster Hunters: what will you do with it?
Scout's already a template in Dungeon Fantasy as well, which is unfortunate, because I was thinking of using the package deals in Loadouts: Monster Hunters as a base.

Re: GURPS Monster Hunters: what will you do with it?
I am. Pro tip: A psi is somebody with psionic powers. A Psion is a handheld computer named after Dave Potter. This editor won't let the word "psion" into a GURPS book. (Yes, other games use it . . . other games misspell "justiciar" as "justicar," too. They need editors.)
