I did a one-hour, one-shot of Monster of the Week yesterday afternoon for a group of four. Here’s how it went:

We had a Mad Scientist, a Big Game Hunter, an Expert, and a Professional. The adventure started “en media res;” the hunters, with backup from the Professional’s agency, launched an attack on a den of vampires. Four of the vamps escaped, and the four hunters chased after them. The four vamps were out of blood from all the fighting, so they had few powers at their disposal. One good stake through the heart would finish them off! 

Unforunately for the hunters, the vampires fled into a nearby super Wal-Mart that had just opened its doors for its annual Black Friday sale. The Professional’s agency, following the player’s selection of “has to do questionable or odd tasks for the agency”, was directed NOT to shut down the Wal-mart or cause a panic. So the hunters tried to be subtle.

Well, “tried” might be a bit of a stretch. There were many, many casulties. Very few of them were from the vampires.
