The truth hurts and there's no use sugarcoating it. Ghosts are real. Demons, too, along with those bumps in the night and maybe even the monster under your bed. The world's a scary place. If you're lucky the nasties that creep around in the dark won't get hold of you. 'Cept maybe you aren't lucky. Maybe you've already lost something - or somebody - to the darkness. All the booze and therapy in the world can't put your life back the way it was. And evil has a way of finding you again once it's had a taste of blood. So you decide to fight back! In the Supernatural Role Playing Game you and your friends play hunters from the world of the hit CW television series. Play characters from the show or use the Cortex System rules to create your own hunter. You'll also find gory details on ghosts, demons, and other nasties for the Game Master to throw your way. All you need to start the hunt is this book, some friends, some dice, and some time to kill...

This is a much better product then I was expecting well layed out and quick to get a game up and running. If your a fan of the TV show and want to run your own games with Sam and Dean or create a hunter or even a Ghostfacer of your own then this is for you. If your thinking of buying it just for referance then I don't think you will find anything new here. But as a game in its own right its really good and I think it captures the theme of the show well, you can even buy your own Chevy Impala. There are a number of products that suppliment this game covering adventures and monster/villians etc. I will be adding these to it.
Now just got to find me some players though it does say you can play it via email etc, which I might try.

Not An Expert Review, But Here It Is...
19 Aug 2009
Format:Hardcover
Here's my review for the Supernatural Role-Playing Game:
GENERAL LAYOUT/DESIGN
I'm very satisfied with the design work and layout of the rulebook. It definitely feels like you're looking through hunters' notes. It has some really cool newspaper clippings and random notes.
RULES/CONTENT
The rulebook covers all the basic rules including simple/complex actions, combat, and character creation/advancement. You also get your share of optional combat rules and what not.
GAMEMASTERING CONTENT
The gamemastering content is pretty in depth. It's pretty useful, especially if you've never gamemastered before. There's also some great advice for gamemastering in a horror type setting.
MONSTERS/SUPERNATURAL CREATURES
The only complaint I've really heard is that there aren't enough monsters in the rulebook. I understand that people want a lot of monsters and that the rulebook doesn't have a ton. The rulebook provides a decent variety of monsters, but not a huge list by any means. When it comes to GMs that don't like to create their own creatures, the rulebook is a bit lacking. On the other hand, there is rules on how to create and develop your own monsters by assigning abilities.
HAUNTED LOCATIONS/SETTING IDEAS
Within the Gamemaster chapters, there's also a list of potential locations for supernatural type scenarios with a few ideas in terms of what could be happening there and even some possible npcs.
OVERALL THOUGHTS
I'm very satisfied with the game system and content in the rulebook. I don't really have any complaints aside from the rulebook coming with a starting adventure which would be a great icebreaker for people that have never played a horror rpg or an rpg in general. Some games come with an adventure to start off with, which would have been nice, but I was informed that the adventure will be out very soon.
What it really comes down to is whether or not you're the type of gamer that wants the game to lay everything out and have it cut and dry. There's a bit to be desired if you don't like developing your own monsters and scenarios from scratch. Although, I did hear that a book of monsters will be out as a supplement for this game, which would help out most gamers. There is also a great thread full of information in setting up your own Supernatural campaign. [....]

Good Times!
15 Sep 2009
Format:Hardcover
Great Role Playing Game based off an excellent television series. It is true this rulebook does not include a starter scenario. However, Margaret Weis Productions has been kind enough to release a free scenario in the form of a PDF download.

Surprisingly fun
7 Sep 2009
Format:Hardcover
Love the show, but picked this up as a lark. Thought maybe it'd be a fun read.
I was really surprised how playable the world seemed. As I read the book, ideas for the game just seemed to roll right out of it - like any well written RPG book. Next thing I knew I had more people than I knew what to do with interested in playing the game if I offered to run, all very interested in the material.
If you enjoy the show, or the world it's set in - definitely work checking out.
