Instant Antagonist: The Selfish Succubus
Posted on November 23, 2009 by Flames
INSTANT ANTAGONISTS are systemless creatures or beings designed for use in modern supernatural/horror games. Many will be supernatural in nature; some will be (at least nominally) human. Some are truly evil, others simply selfish or immoral, others may be victims themselves.
Perfect for modern horror gaming that might need a new twist on old legends. The INSTANT ANTAGONISTS line offers details on each monsters origins, powers and plenty of story hooks to include them in your modern horror games.
The Selfish Succubus
Lily Sinclaire is a dream come true and your worst nightmare all wrapped up in one.
Is she a demon or a witch? Will she seduce the monster hunters or manipulate them into fighting against her enemies? When comes to magic, how far will a mage go to learn her secrets? When Lily is around, vampires just might have some competition for the best mortals to feed on.
The Selfish Succubus is one monster you’re just dying to get to know better…

Reviews:
“If I had to sum up this supplement (and I guess I do or else the review will go on longer than it does), I would say that it’s got a lot of really awesome stuff in it that leaves you hungry for more.”
– Jason Corley, RPGNow.com
“I think that the idea behind Instant Antagonists is a great one. Often times it is too easy to come up with stats and forget the character they are supposed to represent. Lily is the opposite. By presenting her as a character, sans stats, you are forced to think of her as a character, with background and motivations, first and not a collection of numbers.”
– Tim Brannan, The Other Side Blog
“While the six story hooks presented are brief summations of no more than a couple of paragraphs each, they give the game master some great inspiration on using a creature like Lily Sinclaire in their game, and they are the real gold to be found in this supplement.”
– Robert A. Howard at Pen and Paper Games
