Hey all! I just found out about MotW and this community within the past couple weeks (while listening to The Adventure Zone) and I loved it so much that I was immediately inspired to start writing a story.
I mainly just wanted to post in order to say hey and ask a few simple questions and get involved in the community.
I’ve been trying to find extra resources for the game but can’t find much. Things like new hunter types, collections of monsters that people have made, etc. Does anyone know of some resources like that? I did already find the More Weirdness pdf which is AWESOME!
I immediately started writing up this concept for the game and I want to know what you all might think…
It’s October, 1987. Four guys who met at their small town community college have decided to go on a road trip together. When their van, named Lord Humongous by it’s driver “Tuba”, starts to show signs of engine trouble, they have to limp slowly to the nearest town and get it to a mechanic. That night, the mechanic inexplicably vanishes right in front of his family. Now the boys are stranded in this tiny town of 1100 people in the backwoods of [haven’t decided on which state] and realize the only way out of the town is to solve this mystery. Little do they know that one of them is hiding a dark secret about a bargain he made with a mysterious man at a county crossroads. Nor do they know about their other traveling companion’s family history and his mission to get revenge on the beast that destroyed them.
So my plan is that after solving this mystery they’ll be contacted by a sort of mentor-type monster hunter who wants to take them under his wing. And that’s how they end up getting involved in the business of monster hunting.
