    Monster of the Week Playbook
    by Philipp Neitzel

    Wooohooo!
    Did you see that!? Monster hunting is just the best! Jumping out of planes. Stunt driving.
    Unknown drugs with unknown people. Nothing beats the pure fight or flight rush of going face to
    face with the supernatural. Plus, we are making the world a better place. Never felt more alive!
    Wanna do it again?

    Luck:
    Thrillseeker Special: Whenever you mark Luck, also mark Experience.

    Moves:

    Pick two

    ☐ Catch me if you can – when you taunt a monster, it will try to retaliate and makes you it’s
    primary target. An intelligent Monster might react in a nonviolent manner that still targets you.

    ☐ Adrenaline Rush – Take +1 ongoing as long as your wounds are unstable.

    ☐ Center of Attention – When you are doing something ridiculously dangerous in front of an
    audience, you and hunters helping you have an additional 1-armour.

    ☐ Fast Friends - At the beginning of the Mystery roll +Charm.


    10+ You have made new friends. Use them as a team.
    7-9 Also pick one:
    ● You have a hangover
    ● You promised them something
    ● You told them somthing you shouldn't have
    On a miss: Just pick one.

    ☐ Flirting with Disaster – When you Use Magic that you recognize as dangerous or that you
    have been warned about, you may roll +Charm instead of Weird.
    You may choose one of these Glitches for the spell:
    ● The magic is terrifying.
    ● The magic causes collateral damage.
    ● You are cursed.

    ☐ YOLO – You can mark the unstable harm box to get the same effects as if you spent a Luck
    point. This does not trigger the Thrillseeker Special.

    ☐ Parkour - When you flee or pursue, you have a chance to catch up with or escape from
    vehicles and fast or flying monsters if the environment can be used to your advantage.
    When you want to use an obstacle against someone, roll +Cool
    10+ - Treat the obstacle as a 1-harm barrier
    7-9 – Treat the obstacle as a 0-harm barrier

    ☐ No Risk, No Fun – When you go all in during combat, you may Kick Some Ass as if you
    rolled a 10+, but you may not choose to “suffer less harm”. If you do, take -1 foward.

    Gear

    You may have 1-armour in a distinct style.

    Reasonable weapon, pick two


    Butterfly knife/folding knife (1-harm hand)

    Introductions

    When you get here, wait for everyone to catch up so you can do your introductions together.
    Go around the group. On your turn, introduce your Thrillseeker by name and look, and tell the
    group what they know about you.

    History

    Go around the group again. When it's your turn, pick one for each of the other hunters:
    • You had a short passionate love affair, ask them who broke it up and who wanted it to
    become more.
    • You know each other through the same extreme sport. Ask them if you were teammates or
    rivals
    • You just chatted them up in an unlikely situation and won them over. Tell them how you met.
    • This hunter is one of the few people you will listen to when they try to keep you out of
    danger.
    • This hunter introduced you to the ultimate thrill of monster-hunting. Ask them how that
    happened.
    • You dismissed this hunter as a coward at first. Ask them how they proved themselves to you.
    • Your use of Social Media Engagement spoiled one of this character's secrets. What was it
    and what will it take to forgive you?
    • This hunter is the only one who always enjoys your stories. Ask them which of your
    adventures they liked best.
    • Your irresponsibility hurt this hunter. Figure out what happened together.
