Hey, so, I’m running Monster of the Week as a one-shot this Saturday. I haven’t run it before (though I’ve run a bunch of other PbtA games). Anything I should be aware of? Any playbooks that don’t work well together?

Might be worth avoiding both an Initiate and a Professional (as that means you have two external organisations trying to run things), otherwise they should all work pretty well in any combination.
Michael Sands, can they work for the same group? I can’t recall, but I remember getting a happy ‘Twenty Palaces’ vibe off the Initiate.
yes, they can. I was just suggesting that to prevent complications in a one-off game
PCs are much more on the same team in this game, and they’re not just kicking down doors and killing monsters (no disrespect to dungeon world), that means you really have to make your NPCs shine. Make then interesting and make the PCs care…when they are horribly killed by terrifying monsters. Nothing motivates players in this game like a good bystander/victim.
