Supernatural TV show RPG

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

We played White Wolf for years and I still have tons of books. I do think that would be a nice route to go though, but I did find the Supernatural RPG so I think I will end up running that.

Hunter the Vigil is a White Wolf game, like Vampire the Requiem.

But it shouldn't be hard to find the Supernatural RPG.

You also need lots of classic rock, a bit of blues, and the occasional, lamentable modern music. (It's on the CW. What can you do?)

It's weird that they haven't released an official soundtrack. Surely Boston and Foreigner aren't that expensive to get the rights to.

There is a Supernatural soundtrack. You can find it at Amazon.

Don't forget Kansas.

And yes, as others have said, the Supernatural RPG is obviously the "Official" choice. And there are a variety of other systems capable of handling it (WW's Hunter line, as mentioned above).

You can get the SN Core Book pdf cheaper at RPGNow. I've been reading through it, and so far it seems to capture the spirit of the show pretty well.

Supernatural is one of a very few "appointment TV" shows for me.

one of our DM's planned an adventure all based off Supernatural, and he mistakenly thought he was the one of us watching the show (this was 4 years ago) - me and another guy caught on quickly to the yellow eyed demon.

That album has no classic rock on it, making it of dubious value, IMNSHO.

I want to play Dresden RPG so bad!!!!

It's definitely worth a try. It's overly cumbersome on a few things but it has some really nice concepts to it that can even be used in other games.

That album is some things from the score, so yes, useless.

If you look at the guide to the music used in the show you'll see that it is a lot more than just a couple numbers by Boston and Kansas.

No one talks about the instrumental music played on Supernatural. The classic rock is the show's signature, and their decision to not include any of that on the score is random and weird. From the day the first episode aired, all the reviews and online discussions praised the use of classic rock in setting the tone for the show.

So, yeah, hooray for an instrumental score.

I'm sure some people would love to see a Roadhouse Cookbook from Supernatural as well, but that'd be just as niche as a non-classic rock soundtrack.

I am a fan of d20 modern myself. It is greatly adaptable and fits most any setting with relatively minor tweaking.
