Monster of the Week: Creatures in the Shadows

Creating your character

We will build characters prior to the session start time. It's a simple matter of choosing your character's playbook (essentially their archetype), ratings that modify rolls for moves, and moves you would like them to have for the game, which are all listed in the character playbooks.

Preparing for the session

Basic webcams and mics are perfectly fine! This isn't a streamed Actual Play, and the important thing is that we are able to see each other and understand one another. Basic understanding of the genre is of course helpful, but you don't need to be an expert in Monster of the Week by any means! That's what I'm here for. You are welcome to have your own physical dice to play with, or you can use virtual dice as well.

What Anya brings to the table

I will bring a host of spooky monsters and weave a bizarre and fascinating world for your characters to explore.

How Anya creates a safe table

I will send out a copy of the form-fillable Lines & Veils PDF to all players prior to the game, and we will discuss these in session zero with names stripped away to be anonymous. There will be no graphic gore in this game, as it is one of my lines, and will be at most fade to black. If at any time a player needs to modify their Lines & Veils, they are absolutely welcome to message me privately and we will pivot/update that information accordingly. After the session, we will give a quick recap of how the session went and if there were any shifts in tone needed to ensure that all players have an enjoyable time.
