About the adventure
Want to try a new TTRPG system outside of D&D? Do you like Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and have a general love of cryptids and the paranormal? Come try out a Monster of the Week one-shot in a learner-friendly environment! Monster of the Week is an easy to learn, narrative focused system that puts you in the shoes of a Monster Hunter tracking down creatures causing small towns havoc.

I have been playing in a Monster of the Week campaign with Daisy for a little over a month now and I have to say this has been one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had! As a total newcomer to role-playing games of any kind, Daisy has made me feel totally comfortable and at ease as I find my way through this experience. Her sessions always feel inclusive, exciting, and extremely safe for queer guy who was hesitant about starting RPGs. I've enjoyed it so much that I've signed up for a second campaign with her. Highly recommend.
5 Stars and nothing less! Daisy is an amazing storyteller and GM. Every scene feels impactful and incredibly immersive. She’s made me, as a queer person, feel so safe in her games. I’ve since joined a second TTRPG game with Daisy, because my experience was so fantastic. Highly recommend her for players of all skills!!
Had a blast with Daisy doing a one-shot of Monster of the Week with two other players, both new to the game. Daisy did a great job teaching the game rules and then led us through a creepy and hilarious episode saving a New Hampshire town from… well, MONSTERS! (Don’t want spoilers if she uses that story again, lol.) If you’re new to MotW these one-shots will make a great intro to a great game.
I've been wanting to learn Monster of the Week for a while now, but was nervous about figuring out a new game system. Daisy made it so easy! She took the time to explain all the mechanics ahead of time, and had no problem with being asked to repeat info throughout the adventure when I needed help figuring things out. She was also great at working with my wacky ideas during the adventure. She's so patient and thoughtful in the way she manages the game. I would definitely recommend signing up for one of her sessions! Update: I've now played two sessions and it was just as good the second time!
