Hey, all!

Hey, all!

Hey, all! I’m about to start a game of Monster of the Week. It’ll be my first time with the game, and I need one to two more players to round out a team. First session would be this Thursday or Friday, 7/5 or 7/6, at around 6 pm EST. Possibly later. It’ll just be a mechanics, character and world building session, with the first proper game being the week after. Email me if you have any questions.

The game itself will be set in rural Louisiana, near the swamps. Possibly in the early 1990’s. Going for a Twin Peaks but in the swamp vibe.

I FINALLY Ran MotW for the first time Saturday night.

I FINALLY Ran MotW for the first time Saturday night. HUGE SUCCESS! Everyone had a great time. I think I went too easy on the players, though. Has anyone else run the mystery “Damn Dirty Apes” from the rule book? I am still getting used to all the rules and moves.

The hunters had divided the group up to cover more ground and the Professional and the Spellslinger were in the stem tunnels. The first group of robo monkeys (mark 1) came after them. So, the Spell Slinger enchants the professional’s weapon he does harm and since the bullet had the magic tag, disabled a large chunk of the group.

Was that the intent in the weakness or was it supposed to be a different more specific and difficult to figure out kind of thing?

Michael Sands could you weigh in on this?

And so it came to pass that after my group managed to thwart the driverless cars, that they’ve realized that the thing that they’re calling “spider-eye,” which my notes name “the Hexarcanid,” is behind the problems, both with the love-roach-machine and these old cars (and one airplane).

There are problems, though. First, the thing strides around Miami on legs like hundred-foot long hexagonal columns covered top-to-bottom with strange glyphs. Second, it’s invisible.

As cleanup from the previous investigation and preparation for eventually dealing with the Hexarcanid—the two are clearly not equivalent, but the way they’re being handled here will intertwine them—they’ve engaged the following forces:

• A real estate agent

• An aura photographer

• A scrying circle down in Key West

• The self-named “Coven of Tomorrow”

• The local enclave of vampires

I’m wondering if I should cross-post this to the Fiasco community, because that may be where this is headed.

Last Saturday I started a 13-session online run of Monster of the Week called Agents of FAUST. Here’s the pitch:

“Most people believe that the universe works the way their eighth grade science textbooks told them: there’s a set of immutable laws governing our world that we basically understand. And for the most part, they’re right. The Federal Agency for Unorthodox and Supranormal Threats deals with those instances when those universal laws are more, well, mutable. Because the sad truth is that there ARE gods and ghosts and aliens and things that go bump in the night (and day) of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. As agents of FAUST, you are the point of the spear, protecting all those innocent citizens from things they really, really don’t want to know about, much less deal with.”
