Hi guys 🙂 Long time lurker looking for help.

I’m running my first MotW game next friday (the 13th, of course) for a few colleagues. One is an experienced roleplayer, the rest have tried some kind of RPG once or so.

It’s a one-shot for about 4 hours, so I’m looking for something fairly simple.

Do you have any mysteries to reccomend?

I’ve read the two mysteries from the core book, but the mad scientist one isn’t my kind of thing and the faerie one is a bit complex (but very cool!)

Our second mystery kicks off this coming Saturday. Here’s the hook for The Mystery of the Mangled Man.

Our second mystery kicks off this coming Saturday. Here’s the hook for The Mystery of the Mangled Man.

Spring Valley (INS) – The body of security guard James Enright was discovered during morning shift change on the grounds of Union Metallurgical. Police refused to comment about Enright’s cause of death, but a source within Union Metallurgical spoke on the condition of anonymity, saying, “It was horrible. Jim’s body was covered with welts, and his arms and legs were broken.” Michael Boone, a Union Metallurgical representative, said that Enright’s death was a tragic accident and that the company was reviewing its safety protocols to prevent further accidents.

Once we’re done with the mystery, I shall post a link to the PDF uploaded to Google Docs.

We completed our first mystery yesterday.

We completed our first mystery yesterday. John the Wronged, Dan the Mundane, Herschel the Monster, and Xin the Summoned eventually defeated Marie and her minions, bringing Marie a swift death after injecting her with a solution of rum and gunpowder, but not before Marie’s zombies brought horror and death to the neighborhood.

We want your mysteries!

We want your mysteries!

We want your mysteries! A not-so-secret cabal are going to put together a collection of Monster of the Week mysteries, and we need writers!

It will be a profit share gig, so each piece contributed will earn you a share of ongoing sales.

We’re interested in short (less than 1000 words), creative mysteries that have a cool concept and are easily adaptable to the users’ individual games.

I’ll be including my expanded weirdness rules for games that are more Fringe and X-Files than Supernatural and Buffy, as well, so mysteries that use those would also be appreciated. Get the draft at http://www.genericgames.co.nz/files/MotW_more_weirdness.pdf if you haven’t seen them.

We would also be interested in (in order of desirability) play advice, art, custom moves and other rules variants, and new hunter classes.

If you have ideas for other material, please write up one short sample mystery or other material (up to 500 words) and email it to me at michael.sands@genericgames.co.nz by the 18th of December 2016.

My question is this: Could we get together and do something like this for Monster-of-the -Week?
