Manhunter is a role-playing game published by Kingslayer Productions in 1988.

Description

Manhunter is a system featuring lots of savage hi-tech combat, set in the far-future Manhunter universe, for which a history and star charts are provided.[1] It is a skill-based system, with four types of skills: Finesse (acrobatics, archery, light blades, etc.), Manual (brawling, climbing, heavy blades, etc.), Mental (scientific, magical, psionic), and Reaction (piloting, fast draw, etc.).[1] The rules also cover personal combat, space combat, experience, robots, three alien races, and a brief spell list.[1] The game includes a GM's screen.[1] The 2nd edition adds an introductory scenario with a description of a space port but lacks the GM's screen.[1]
