Monster Of The Week Unleashes Epic Crowdfunding for Two New Expansions! Find Out What’s Coming!

Monster Of The Week, one of the most beloved horror role-playing games of the last 15 years, has captivated players with its thrilling monster-hunting escapades reminiscent of iconic TV series like Supernatural, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and The X-Files. If you’ve ever pondered the dramatic consequences of Mulder, Willow, and Castiel joining forces to combat supernatural threats, this is the game for you!

The tremendous success of Monster Of The Week has paved the way for previous expansions like the Tome of Mysteries, packed with new playbooks, 29 intriguing mysteries for players to delve into, and rules offering a scientific twist to their quests, echoing the investigative flair of shows like Fringe. On top of that, the Codex of Worlds introduces team playbooks and campaign frameworks, providing insightful guidance on structuring campaigns based on specific themes or alternate settings.

Now, the excitement grows as Evil Hat, the creative force behind Monster Of The Week, is currently crowdfunding two brand-new expansions that promise to enhance the gaming experience even further. Alongside these expansions, backers can also acquire official dice and game coins for tracking in-game elements, as well as the Investigator’s Casebook, a combination of character sheet and journal designed for thorough note-taking.

Mastering Monster Of The Week Gameplay

The mechanics of Monster Of The Week center around the Powered By The Apocalypse engine, where players roll two six-sided dice and add their character’s trait to the total. If they roll a ten or higher, they achieve their goal; if they roll a six or lower, the Game Master (Keeper) gets to dictate the outcome. Rolling a seven to nine results in a shared victory where both sides benefit slightly.

Players get to choose from an array of playbooks, embodying classic archetypes from the genre. Whether it's avenging family members lost to monsters, joining secret societies battling these creatures, or even playing as a monster striving to protect humanity, players and Keepers collaboratively establish the game’s foundation and narrative direction.

Furthermore, Keepers design intricate backstories for the monsters and create countdown timelines depicting the havoc these creatures will wreak if left unchecked. This foresight equips Keepers to effectively respond to player actions, ensuring an immersive gameplay experience. The existing expansions offer invaluable guidance for game masters operating in this unique style.

Introducing the Slayer’s Survival Kit

The Slayer’s Survival Kit expansion introduces nine exciting new playbooks that players can experiment with. Think along the lines of being an Action Scientist reminiscent of Indiana Jones or a Celebrity Monster Hunter akin to Peter Vincent from Fright Night. This expansion also provides frameworks for players to create custom playbooks, further enhancing the personalization of the game.

Additionally, it features more team playbooks that delve into weird science and parapsychology, offering diverse options for every player. The inclusion of Artifact Collectors is particularly thrilling, as this background has been pivotal in creating some of the most unforgettable Monster Of The Week adventures.

This expansion emphasizes the importance of integrating the mundane lives of hunters, showcasing how their everyday struggles and realities provide depth and relatable narratives, enhancing the overall storytelling experience.

Dive Deep with the Hunter’s Journal

The second expansion, Hunter’s Journal, takes a closer look at the hunters’ journeys by delving into the character details associated with each playbook, including those from Slayer’s Survival Kit. This resource provides Keepers invaluable insights on maximizing character strengths, mitigating weaknesses, and tailoring threats that resonate with each archetype.

Moreover, the Hunter’s Journal highlights the significance of episodes where hunters confront non-supernatural challenges. These narrative diversions allow for profound role-playing moments, giving players a reprieve from the relentless monster-slaying, while simultaneously deepening character development.
