Can someone clarify something for me?

Can someone clarify something for me? I’m reading the rules on manipulation (and I think this is just an example – there are probably other places where this matters, but manipulate is currently catching my attention) and it says a hunter can’t manipulate a monster.

So what if your hunters don’t know the character they are talking to/working with is the monster? We did a bit of this in a Meddling Kids campaign my group just finished, where we didn’t know the person was a monster or fake monster and so we treated them as we did all other NPCs until they were “unmasked”.

In the story I’m working on now, no one is what they seem, everyone is a monster of some sort, even the hunters to a large extent, and I want some of the minions and maybe even the big bad to seem like an ally right up until the end.

Does this just mean I need to be extra clever if someone tries to manipulate them? Any suggestions from the experienced field?

I’ve run a couple of sessions for my RPG group of the last couple of months.

I’ve run a couple of sessions for my RPG group of the last couple of months. Everyone says they’re enjoying themselves but they have one criticism, there’s no story arc. Killing a different monster every week doesn’t really lead to an over arching plot.

I was wondering if/how anyone else incorporated a story arc into their games of MOTW.

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 signed up to be Keeper for MotW at a Local Gaming Convention, running both mysteries from the rule book. I am thinking of reducing the player’s Luck so they feel the danger of using it. Also, having the players go ahead and select from any of the playbooks from the rule book as character creation is pretty easy. Has Anyone else done this? By how much should Luck be reduced? Any other tips/tricks/hints for running MotW at a Con?

I saw some one had posted a link to an online writing tool/idea organizer that looked perfect for my writing style.

I saw some one had posted a link to an online writing tool/idea organizer that looked perfect for my writing style. So I signed up for it. Now I don’t remember what it is called or where the original link was (here or reddit). It looks like what Michael Sands post about his MotW supplement looks like with folders and subfolders. PLEASE, Help me find it.
