Here is a template for demon hunters. It is not for women only, as the inspirational source material is. This was done for Ravensgate, Kristy’s Gothic fantasy setting. It is based on the Claymore anime series.
- Andrew’s an inspiration. He’s taken my minimalist little twentysome page system and Jack’s delightfully gothic muskets-and-werewolves setting blogposts and turned it into a gorgeously realized game.

Reinterpretation can be deeply rewarding, if that person shows you new ways to think and dream within the context of your own creation. Though his World Between is not my World Between...I would play in Andrew's games in a heartbeat...I like many of Andrew's innovations enough to now use them in my games. I'd wager that you will also find much to love in the pages that follow as well.

Andrew Shields is a prolific blogger producing excellent content that flies entirely too low on the radar. He has about one million other cool things that if you took a free afternoon and searched around, you would have a million gaming ideas and immediately want to play.

Whenever you create something and then allow other people to use what you've created, it is always fascinating to see what that interaction produces. I must admit that seeing my stuff through Andrew's eyes has been really gratifying. Thanks, Andrew!

"Crumbling Epoch" is another great experiment in the Fictive tradition, and I’m proud to have contributed to it in some small way.

These latest three templates are very cool. I’ve always wanted to run a themed fantasy campaign around an enemy type, like vampire slaying, or demon slaying, or dragon slaying. Then people could specialize with cool classes like this and really rock out with them.
I’m not a big fan of niche protection, and I love the idea you’re talking about. I think you could make a bunch of characters with the same template and have a blast. Or, even better, make a bunch of characters most of which have an overlay template of something else.
Like a demon hunter/scholar, or hunter, or fighter, or duelist, or etc. Or a demon hunter/murder princess. That’s a painful notion.
No matter what you’re hunting, you’ll want a monster hunter along. (World Between for Fictive Hack, page 30.)
