You know what they say, it’s a dangerous job but somebody's gotta throw back a bottle of whiskey, steal a car, and drive it through the front window of the mayor's office in case he’s a vampire.

It’s a common expression.

Dive into the shadows of a noir mystery setting with the Monster of the Week RPG. This game blends horror and detective elements, creating a punchier narrative-focused experience driven more by player choices than dice rolls. Hosted online via Discord, the game requires no additional apps or websites. All materials will be provided by the GM.

Game System: Monster of the Week is a Powered By The Apocalypse game designed to run episodically—think Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, or The Witcher TV series. Each session offers a mini-adventure, contributing to an overarching storyline.

Gameplay:

• Roleplay Heavy: Focused on character interactions and narrative development.

• Theatre of the Mind Combat: Imaginative and descriptive combat sequences.

• Beginner Friendly: No prior experience with the system or role-playing games required.

• Inclusive Environment: All players welcome, with horror themes and safety guidelines (lines and veils) discussed in the first session.

• Collaborative Character Creation: Conducted during the first session, with no need to prepare anything in advance.

Character Archetypes: Choose from a diverse range of character types, each with unique skills and story significance:

• The Chosen: An ordinary person with an extraordinary destiny, potentially a puppet of fate (e.g., Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

• The Expert: A hunter with extensive knowledge of monsters and magic, possibly too scarred to return to normal life (e.g., Sam and Dean from Supernatural).

• The Flake: A conspiracy theorist adept at solving mysteries, though sometimes obsessive (e.g., Agent Mulder from The X-Files).

• The Mundane: Just a regular person, often getting captured but surprisingly adept at dealing with ordinary people (e.g., Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

• The Snoop: A journalist skilled at uncovering secrets but a liability in combat (e.g., the Ghostfacers from Supernatural).

• The Spooky: A person with psychic or magical abilities, which come with their own dark complications (e.g., Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

• ...and many more.

Session Details:

• Start Date: Friday, 14th June

• Time: 7 PM to 11 PM

• Duration: 8 weeks

• Player Limit: 6 players

Joining Information: Players will be contacted via email and added to a Discord chat group for game discussions between sessions. To reiterate, all players are welcome, regardless of their experience with the Monster of the Week system or role-playing games in general.

Prepare for a thrilling journey where your choices shape the story. Nobody gets out alive, but that’s all part of the fun.
