Hi, everyone. I’m just now branching out into the Apocalypse World games after meeting Dungeon World. Being a big fan of the TV show Supernatural and the Monster Hunter International books it is only logical, and a matter of time, before I found Monster of the Week. I plan on starting a game soon.
I thought I’d go ahead and share some monster sources I’m thinking about “borrowing” ideas from….
Gurps Creatures of the Night
The Esoterrorists – The Book of Unremitting Horror (Gumshoe version)
Hunter the Vigil – Horror Recognition Guide
With this plethora of information I think I can keep things… interesting… and have the players and the characters meet things out of the ordinary run-of-the-mill monsters.
Mark Tygart – Just as with your DW ideas, I have saved all your Mysteries to look over and use. Thanks!!!

Early in my MotW Keeper days, I looked to Creatures of the Night and the Book of Unremitting Horror for monsters to steal and it just wasn’t working for me. I found Unremitting Horror to be too grimdark for it to seem fun to play with. I’m not sure why Creatures of the Night wasn’t working, but nothing was clicking.
