Having fallen absolutely in love with Dungeon World, I today bought Monster of the Week. I loved what I saw of the playbooks and the reference sheets, and look forward to exploring and eventually playing the game.
I was a huge fan of the short-lived TV series Reaper, and that seems like a good premise for Monster of the Week to me.
That’s a great idea. Might need a little tweaking but it could be a fun romp.
Other ideas I have, prior to even reading the book is something akin to Fringe, or even a Scooby Doo inspired game with actual real monsters (and no unmasking). Anyhow, I’ll let the chips fall where they may, and come up with something at the table with my gaming buddies.
That sounds awesome Paul McBride. I’ve been reading my PDF of the game tonight, and it looks great.
I think Reaper is a perfect fit, you just need to aim for that tone as you play. That, and focus on the hunters’ day jobs – it might be especially cool if they all work in the same store (or something like that =).
If you’re going for Reaper, I’d say no to the Professional. He doesn’t fit, and maybe nix a couple others. But hey, that’s one way to choose the game – choose your allowed playbooks.
